Could I be one of those who are surprised when Jesus says, I never
        knew you, depart from me?

         Matthew  7:22-23
         Jesus said: "On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not
         prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do

         many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, "I

         never knew you; depart from me, you workers of  Lawlessness. --

     So what do you think? Are ready to stand before him on the Day of Judgment?  

Most would say that they think or hope they are, but could they be wrong?

What does God require of us? 

Is it being good? Keeping the golden rule? What about doing sacraments, 

being baptized or praying toward a specific  direction?  What about asking 

saints to put in a good word for you?

There is a lot of different ideas out there and it is hard to know which is true?

Well lets say you have two professional basketball players that know the game, but disagree on the rules. What should you do? Well you have to refer to a trusted rule book to find the correct answers and that is what we are going to do. We are not going to go on the word of a denomination, religion or personal belief. We are going to go to the trusted rule book that has been proven time and time again to be correct. The Holy Bible!
