Whatever you call your vehikcle

I once heard Mike Warnke tell this story and I have used it to get others to thinking.

I was driving down the street in my car when I suddenly started having car troubles. I pulled along side the road just as my car engine stopped . I tried to start it over and over but I could not get it to start again. I had no choice but to get out of the car and go search for help.

Now the question is, when I got out of the car did I cease to exist?

Of course not, I did not cease to exist. I simply traded one reality for another.

The first reality was, I was driving down the street. The second reality was, I was walking down the street.

And that is how it will be when we die. We simply exchange realities.
One day these fleshly Fords, these chivalrous Chevys, these Portly Pontiacs, or whatever you call your vehicle, will one day pull over to side of the road of life, stop and never start again.
The outside will die but the spirit lives on.

Now where will you go? We will all live eternally but where will you live?

I has helped me to open up the conversation to speak to others about Jesus and what He has done for me and where I will be living eternally.
You may not always get a positive response but you at least get them to thinking and an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to work on their thoughts.
