Now I’ve been in a couple of hurricanes, so I take their warnings pretty seriously. A hurricane is no fun. I do not want to be there when it hits, so I’m glad that they give those hurricane warnings pretty well in advance. They actually did before one of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the U.S. It hit Gulf Port, Mississippi—Hurricane Camille.

Now during that, people were at the Richelieu Apartments and they were warned ahead of time, but they were having a hurricane party and they refused to leave. The sheriff insisted on each person giving him the names of their next of kin, and when Camille slammed into Gulf Port it hit those apartments, and when the sheriff could finally get back to that beach he found no trace of the apartments or the people who had died there. Tragically, they did not have to die if they’d heeded the warning.

I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and the Bible paints a similar picture of God’s passionate warnings to us about the hurricane of His judgment that will hit every one of us who hasn’t had the sins of our life forgiven by Him. That’s something His Son died to make possible. I did the sinning; Jesus did the dying so I could have a life that matters here and heaven when this life is over.

In the Bible’s words, “Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8 ). And God says in His Book, “Repent! Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed and get a new heart” (Ezekiel 18:30-31 ). And He asks us, “How shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3 )

I’d be honored to help you experience God’s love and God’s rescue for yourself. Our website is for that purpose. It’s ALifeThatMatters.org, because God put you here to live a life that matters.
