In November 1975, the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank in the cold waters of
Lake Superior during a fierce storm.  Only a week before the tragedy, chief
steward Robert Rafferty had written to his  wife, "I may be home by November
8.  However nothing is ever sure."  The prophetic irony of his words was noted
in a newspaper article listing the 29 crew members who perished during the
disaster.

Not a day passes without a reminder that our earthly life can end at any
moment.  All we need to do is read the obituary column.  One message comes
through loud and clear: We're here today, but we may be gone tomorrow!

"What is your life?  It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and
then vanishes away" (James  4:14)  Is our only certainty, then, the sobering
prospect that at any moment we may be thrust into eternity?  No! Christ is
the anchor of the soul.  He paid the penalty for our sins on the cross.

If we admit our guilt before God, we will receive forgiveness and eternal life
by trusting Him.  He has promised to remain with us, even at the hour of our
death.  Does your earthly life seem futile because "nothing is ever sure"?
Then trust Christ!  He provides a joyous certainty about eteniity that can be 
yours right now.

                  Life is uncertain
                  Death is sure
                  Sin is the cause
                  Christ is the cure!

Christiantity is a relationship, not a religion
