Have you ever attended a fireworks show? It takes hours of work and thousands of dollars to pull off even a small fireworks display, and it’s all for a show that lasts at most a few minutes. Do you want your life to burn fast and fizzle out like a cheap firework? God is offering you the chance to live a different way. The path through life that God offers you is one that is going to be more difficult because following God is not meant to be an easy path. But Pastor Mark encourages you to make the tough choice and follow God, because eternal life in Heaven beats any sort of life of extravagance and opulence you can have on Earth.
