There are many events in life that we could consider competition based.  From sports to relationships, work to kickin the ants out of our house.  And, to be truthful, none of these competitions will lead to utter death.  There might be tears when we lose.  But we get over these things in time.  There is a competition, however, that we will not get over if we lose.  Accept Jesus and His Lordship of your life now.  You can’t afford to lose this one!
