If all this was a game then it would not matter. We could play the game today and live like we want to live tomorrow. But it is not a game. Living in this world for God is real. Not only that, also living in this world for God is going to pay off after while.           This is not a game. Whatever you do, how you really live, you are responsible. The Bible even declares that we will have to give an account for every idle word that comes out of our mouths. Man might be playing a game but God is not. There was a man who decided one day that he would pretend to be a Christian. He did so to prove how phony some of his so called Christian friends were. So he faked salvation, joined the church, taught in sunday school, ushered, even was elected to serve on the deacon board. He lived most of all his adult life pretending to be a christian. One day he died and came before the Lord. The Lord asked him, who are you, I do not know you. He said, my name is Deacon         .  The Lord said, I do not know you. The man said well, I…, and he was about to tell who he was and how he served in the church, when all of a sudden he heard coming out of his own mouth these words, “I lied”. I must ask you the question today.  Are you living a lie?
