The story follows the stories of a pilot, a a news writer, and a college girl who are trying to find meaning to their life and become intertwined in the last days. With their new church they become spies for God and with their new jobs working for the Antichrist as a way to gather information can they last or will the spotted.

What is justice
What is justice. Can there ever be true justice. Lets say you lie to your parent's should the punishment be any less than that of murder. You would most likely say yes that murder is a greater sin than lying. But in God's eye they are sin and sin is equally punishable. The guilty verdict for these crimes against God is death. This would have happened if Jesus had not been crucified. Therefore god being the ultimate justice took us off of death row and put us on parole. Giving us a chance to redemption.

Should Cristians celebrate Valentine's Day
Before I answer this question let’s ask one simple question, should Christians celebrate anything? Christians were never told to celebrate anything that did not have something to do with his love for his people (Christmas, Resurrection Sunday, the Passover, etc.). In all of the celebrations we are to celebrate not once did I see anything that says to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day? Holy days and holidays are not to be mistaken (Sunday is a holy day valentines is a holiday).
I am not calling anyone who would choose to celebrate Valentine’s Day evil I’m not even calling Valentine’s Day evil I am only shedding light on it, and those with ears to hear and eyes to see will understand. It is not my place to judge because I don’t know if it has pagan roots or not but I do know if you know it has pagan roots and still celebrate it you will be judged for your actions according to your knowledge.
If you do choose to celebrate it that’s your choice and no one else’s but before you choose ask yourself this question why? Find three good reasons and continue with your celebration. Sometimes on Valentine’s Day we like to give roses and chocolates to the ones we love, there’s nothing wrong with that but remember roses wilt and chocolates melt but the word of God never fades.
In conclusion the choice is completely yours. I will say that can and my view will never be yours and my reasons will never be yours, but those with ears to hear and eyes to see will be given knowledge and understanding. So no matter how persuasive my paper the final choice is yours and yours alone.

What is a Christian ?
A Christian is someone who has accepted Jesus as their lord and savior.
A Christian believes that God created the heavens and the earth and that he created man. Christians believe man fell from perfection and the price of that sin was death, and God being of merciful disposition sent his son to pay the price.
Christians rely on their faith to guide them. They believe that Jesus was tormented, disgraced and crucified for their redemption through his blood. Christian faith leads them to believe that after three days in the grave he rose from the grave and soon afterward ascended into heaven as Christ our savior.
Christians are those who believe the Bible is the inspired word of God written by his disciples and prophets. They believe when Jesus ascended into heaven he sent down a comforter to live inside his people to help guide them in their journey.
As a conclusion a Christian is someone who has accepted Jesus as their lord and savior and live according to his teaching.

A Pilgrim's Progress Part 1
A Pilgrim's Progress is a dream from a man named John Bunyan. It's about a man named Christian who had a huge burden on his back from reading a book that said his city would be destroyed. Christian then met Evangelist who told him the only way to get that burden of his back is to follow the path and never turn back, so he ran he ran with all his might and didn't look back. His friends Obstinate, and Pliable ran after him and finally caught up with him just before he reached the path.They tried to convince him to come home but instead Christian convinced Pliable to come with him. Christian and Pliable were traveling but began to stray from the path and fell into the River of Despond and Pliable seeing all of his past sins left Christian stuck in the River. Soon a man named Help pulled Christian out of the River and showed him the path.
What would you do? 2# Ability to help?
What would you do if you had the ability to help someone who really needed to be helped? How many times have you seen a homeless person with a cardboard sign saying,"Please help a poor person" and you pass him without a sidelong glance. Let's say you're walking to school and you see a poor child asking if someone could lend her some lunch money and you have twenty dollars in your backpack what would you do? When you have the ability to help someone that means you have the ability to bless someone what you do from there is up to you.

What would you do ? 1# inside knowledge
What would you do if you had knowledge of some scheme that includes a person getting hurt. I would tell someone who can help stop the unfavorable of this scheme. Lets say one of your best friends were planning to rob someone, and they ask you to help them. Would you help them or would you tell someone? Think of it this way, you have the ability to save a life or take a life. One story that shows these specific circumstances is the story of "Guy Fawkes" he had the idea to eliminate the English government, so he joined a group called the "Flanders" and they were planning to put gunpowder in the cellar of the Parliament. My point is anyone of the Flanders could have chosen to save a life but all of them chose to take one so their lives were taken.
