13 percent

I recently heard a sermon from Central Christian College of the Bible and it talked about being aware of people around you and how often people die. The statistics given were that 2 people die every second on Earth.

At the end of the day, that is 230,000 people. Of those who pass away, only an estimated 30,000 are Christians and will go to Heaven.

What an alarming statistic that only 13% of the people who die every day go to Heaven.

It certainly makes me feel my calling to ministry even more. I know that I have to proceed according to God's will and timing, but it seems so much more urgent when I'm presented with those numbers.

What a profound thought.
We know that a whole lot more than 13% of people go to church, I guess we assume way to much that just because you go to church your saved.
I guess that makes as much sense that just because your in your garage it makes you a car....
or Truck (hey I like my truck, and If I am gonna be something in the garage it is going to be a truck LOL)
