Call Now and We'll Throw In…

Billy Mays here! With the opportunity of a lifetime! But you must act now and order everything from orange glow cleaner to knife sharpeners (the Shark I believe its called) and now, get this, insurance. Yes, that's right! Billy Mays, anointed by the commercial gods to be the Billy Graham of the infomercials is selling insurance.

I'll tell you what. I'm so glad that whenever I see an infomercial I'm just too tired to either

a) get out of bed, or

b) get out of my laz-y-boy to get the phone, or I would have a house full of junk I don't need.

Of course, Billy Mays can make you feel like a fool if you don't act now 'cause he's gonna' throw in an extra whatever, and if you're one of the next 100 callers you'll get free shipping! Well, hallelujah, hand me the phone!

I'm going to do an infomercial about some of God's promises to all who believe. George Boise here for the Lord God. Creator of Heaven and Earth whose promises are Yea and Amen to all who believe. I'm here to offer you the best deal of your life. That's right! You'll never find a better deal than this. God will give you a brand new life for your old one. As in 2 Corinthians 5:17. God will take your sins, forgive them and remember them no more. Read the 103rd Psalm for more on this deal. And what a deal! It just keeps getting better! But 2 Corinthians 6:2 says you've gotta act now. Now is the accepted time. Today is the day of salvation. This is a limited time offer. Read Revelations 22:7 and Romans 13:11, 12. Jesus said in John 14: 1-4, that there are many mansions in heaven and one of them could have your name on the mail box.

Now for the part about free shipping. In I Thessalonians 4: 13-18 and I Corinthians 15:50-54 it pretty much says like that old song “I'll fly away, Oh Glory, I'll fly away.”

I know this all sounds just too good to be true. What's the cost? Well, it cost Jesus His Life. He bought all this for you. There is nothing you can do to earn it. But it will cost you everything you are. You've got to give Him your life. All of it. You must be born again. Jesus explains this in the third chapter of John's gospel 1-21. St. Paul says in Ephesians 2:1-10 basically unless we've got this new life, we are virtually walking dead folk.

So it sounds to me like a pretty good trade. My sin for His righteousness, sickness for health, darkness for light, blindness for sight, indifference or even enmity with God for His Love and fellowship, and finally, eternal death for eternal life.
