What are you living for and does it
matter in light of eternity consider that with
us today on the road to reality We're
pleased to bring you the road to reality
from Gospel for Asia We'll be joined by
brother KP O'Hannon in just a moment
the founder and director of Gospel for Asia
It wouldn't you like to come to the
end of your life with no regrets knowing
that your life Had purpose and that you
made an impact for Christ We'll tell you
how that can be a reality here today
on the road to reality KP is about
to encourage us to follow in the footsteps
of Christ and live for what really matters
He sets the table if you will for
our discussion by taking us to first John
chapter 2 this verse in first John chapter
2 verse 6 and the NIV reads Whoever
claims to live in him Must walk as
Jesus did and in the Living Bible it
reads like this Anyone who says he's a
Christian Should live as Christ lived Major Ian
Thomas said it takes God to be a
man And Christ lived on earth showing what
God Intended man to be like and Adam
lost it and We are called to follow
in his footsteps But often these kind of
statements can become just Nice spiritual words, but
how do you translate that following in the
footsteps of Christ?
The old covenant that's the Old Testament the
word Became the light thy word is a
light unto my path But in the New
Covenant It is not rules and regulations do
this don't do this commandments Know our light
in the New Testament.
It is Jesus said I am the light
of the world in him was Life and
the life was the light of men You
are called to follow not a bunch of
rules and regulations and Seek your own righteousness
somehow Thinking that you'll make it rather you
are called And I'm called to follow Him
and become like him.
He is our model as we follow him
We become like him for Jesus said you
are the light of the world What is
that?
It is not bunch of doctrines and learning
Lot of information rather it is the nature
it is very life that we live No
wonder in the book of Acts chapter 17.
It is said about these people These those
who turn the world upside down They have
come here also the lifestyle the way they
lived became the reason for people to testify
like that I want to read to you
Something that really touched my heart a friend
of mine wrote these words The American Church
is experiencing a crisis For years, we have
preached a cheap gospel and peddled a soft
Savior We have taught salvation without self-denial
and crown without the cross We have catered
to the unsaved and compromised with the world
now We are paying the price Our instant
salvation message has dishonored God and confused the
world Our faulty seeds have produced a flaky
harvest What a pitiful crop we are now
reaping as American believers We spend more hours
watching television, but minutes watching in prayer We
are hungry for sports page, but how little
taste for the world We spend more money
on pet food than on four missions love
to feast but hate to fast We welcome
God's blessings, but we are weary of his
burdens Is this what Jesus died for?
Is this our new life in him?
Stop for a moment and think Anyone who
spends more time playing video games Than seeking
God prayer has no right to call Jesus
Lord Anyone who takes delight in today's perverted
soap operas is serving another God Anyone who
cannot die to sports for a season is
worshiping idols If anyone loves the world The
love of the father is not in him
because the friendship with this world is hated
toward God in 1st John and James In
reality whose friends are we?
It is time for some serious soul-searching
What kind of born-again experience?
How we had if it calls for almost
no personal sacrifice produce virtually no Separation from
the world and breeds practically no hated for
sin How can we claim to be born
again?
Where there's no evidence to show for in
our daily walk We call ourselves citizens of
heaven yet.
Our hearts are caught up in the earthly
treasures We sing we are the people of
God, but we are Entertained by the worst
of the devil's children We claim to be
dead to the world yet We are more
interested in temporal fashions than eternal souls Something
is wrong with our salvation experience bad fruits
means bad roots we say Just confess Jesus
as Lord and you are in he says
Not everyone who says to me Lord Lord
will enter the kingdom of heaven But only
he who does the will of my father
in heaven we say Just pray this prayer
And it is done he says If anyone
would come after me, he must deny himself
and take a piss cross daily and then
he must follow me we say Just come
to the altar it only will take a
minute he says make every effort to Enter
through the narrow door because many I tell
you will try to enter and will not
be able to Do you think he is
right?
I?
Don't know where you are But during the
years of my personal crisis 30 years ago
in my spiritual walk in the midst of
Seminary education and being a pastor I Remember
sitting in my room in Dallas Writing something
with my most expensive best loved Mont Blanc
fountain pen Why you want to spend $360
to buy a fountain pen dumb I did
it Because I was in Germany Married to
a German Strange the way God speaks.
I'm not a spooky guy looking for science
and wonders and lights, and I'm just a
normal hamburger guy and french fries But I
remember In my agony searching for God to
talk to me.
He did something very strange it was as
though he just walked up to that table
and stood beside me and Said these words
that I heard from my heart So like
that pen I said of course I do
I Still have the pen by the way,
and I looked at it the next question
So hundred years from now who's gonna use
it I?
said what He didn't say one more word
I was left alone in the room Take
me hours finally I would go down on
my knees weeping You young people You think
you are the king the king you can
do anything you have dreams made up imaginations
whatever a Million years from now.
What does it matter?
And I say this to you because you
are living with a phony Plastic superficial Christianity
that says God is so desperate Waiting for
you to come and do something for him.
Don't make a mistake Be frightened about the
prospect of a life wasted here on earth
and Then look back in eternity and regret
over a wasted life because you have followed
in the footsteps Maybe your parents your grandparents
or rich and famous you never understood the
significance of Giving you a life so completely
and totally to him who died on the
cross for you, and you have no right
To be the Lord and the master of
your life if you think it is a
game You are the one making the mistake
May we completely surrender our lives to Christ
that really is the only way to live
brother KP Yohanan will be back in just
a moment with more encouragement to live for
eternity as the road to reality continues We're
sure looking forward to this year's renewing your
passion conference It's just a few months away,
but it's a good time to make plans
to join us and register of course KP
will be sharing with us as well as
quite a number of mission field leaders and
those that Want to live for what really
matters?
In fact, here's a few of them sharing
their experiences It's just been phenomenal It's such
a spiritual mindset around here.
It's just it's really exciting It's the only
convention I ever been in that I didn't
want to end We'd love to have you
join us this year It'll be held in
Dallas and July 11th through the 13th We
can tell you all about it and how

Here's KP with our second half of today's
message called living for eternity What were George?
What will happen to be?
my Leader I more laughter a lot and
loving respect to him and in one of
his teachings.
He quartered Ha1 Hawking and then I got
this court and I just want to read
this for you I'm sure you heard it.
If you had him speak here most probably
It says he looks today as he ever
looked Not for crowds drifting aimlessly in his
track But for individual men and women whose
undying allegiance will spring from their having Recognized
that he wants those who are prepared to
follow the path of self-renunciation Which he
trod himself I just want to make a
few statements in the way of application before
we pray One Are you born again?
Do you know him?
Some of the most lost people going to
hell are people who are born and raised
in Christian homes Missionary skits, you know everything
you know the right words the lingo, but
you've never been truly converted because You continue
to live in sin and compromise saying I'm
not going all the way And then you
read articles and books to help you to
rationalize Your lifestyle that nobody knows about Think
about it Maybe you have never known him
because you cannot be his and continue live
in sin If you are not sure If
you die today, you are not sure about
seeing him face to face and be with
him.
I plead with you as a brother in
the Lord Repent and turn your life over
to him Your spirit is dead And Christ
came to light the candle You cannot make
it on your own He did it all
It is not just saying Jesus and the
four spiritual laws No, it is taking time
to process information and realize the prospect of
going to hell And after 10 billion trillion
years, you'll be crying out Not for a
drop of water like the rich man went
to hell but for death and you will
not find it It is not a joke
Hell is the real place people will go
to spend a place.
There's no time And we must fear God
and Jesus died for you and he gave
his life And fall at his feet Repent
and forsake sin and say Jesus My life
with all I am I'm yours and publicly
declare.
He is your Lord Get saved You can
find some older brother some professor some sister
You can talk to even if you fail
in your exam here and fail at Taylor
University You will not want to fail in
knowing God as your Savior second You say
you know the Lord and you're born again
wonderful.
I am glad Would you come to yourself
to a life of prayer serious prayer Did
he know a study shows that America pastors
pray less than 12 minutes a day and
Believers pray less than eight minutes a day
and you are an incredible place It's university
where you have so much time He said
how much time you don't know my professor.
He gives me a million pages to read
The speed read Get the alarm clock and
turn it on to wake you up to
in the morning You heard me right and
you say Lord, I'm going to sleep, but
I like to get up to in the
morning I want to talk to you And
let the alarm go off Or whatever you
can do it to wake up wash your
face in cold water And kneel by the
chair and start praying and talk to him
and Listen, and he'll talk back to you
Get to know God.
Oh How I wish how I wish as
young as you are You will learn to
spend an hour an hour and a half
with God rather than spending with your boyfriend
girlfriend It means everything in the long run
Why don't take one day of the week
for fasting?
You will not die if you die through
one day fasting you please let me know
I reimburse it You will not why?
God is looking for us to get to
know him intimately so so that he can
also Infuse into us our heart his pain
For this world like the kids It's not
money.
It is not check.
It is not you go for two months.
That's all good do it More of the
heart your heart can feel because He tells
you something and you know it is from
him But you will not know him you
will not know him unless you learn to
spend time with him.
I Cannot tell you no professor.
No university will teach about prayer.
You will learn it through accepting suffering in
the flesh Say no to parties and Whatever
else people invite you to be alone with
him God be his witness Don't be ashamed
of him I Never forget this one time.
I was bumped into first class in Lufthansa,
and it's many many years ago And I
still get that privilege once in a while
because I travel with them quite a lot
And I'm sitting next to me was lady
going to Delhi India To loan to India
six hundred million dollars from World Bank or
something I looked at her and I looked
at her I said I can talk to
her And the Lord said well, this is
maybe the only chance she will have you
are here And I pulled out my gospel
tracts I Thought at least I can do
that As you know I got something nice.
He'd like to read it He said what
is this I said, oh you like it
You think it's easy for me to talk
to people stranger At the hamburger shop and
the airplanes and trains and buses and market
places.
It's not But I must not be ashamed
And I talked to her.
I mean she didn't fall down and repent
and she said oh, I'll think about all
these things I'm talking to a young girl
flying from Toronto to Dallas and the flight
was going on to Los Angeles and She
started drinking like a fish Yes, and I
said young lady you're drinking too much She
said I'm scared.
I said what are you scared about I
said she said every time I get in
the plane I I think it's gonna crash.
I'm gonna die I Looked at her said
you know what as long as I am
on this flight Nothing is gonna happen to
you.
She looked at me said who are you
I?
Pulled out a gospel tract and she almost
prayed and gave her life to Christ Listen
to me What what profession you are heading
for a doctor lawyer engineer whatever crazy thing
you are dreaming about That is your vocation
your call on earth to be his representative
When you go to get a hamburger get
the hamburger give the money But give a
gospel tract when you are in the aeroplane
when you are you know wherever I mean
you're gonna watch a Nice movie, I don't
go to those things, but I had to
put a nice word in it, you know
So I don't get kicked out of here
Be willing to use that opportunity give a
gospel tracts and talks to people If I
ask you when was the last time you
witnessed to someone about Jesus Christ You claim
to know him and those people are dying
left and right 80,000 a day and
plunge into eternity without Christ and you are
the only hope and you keep your mouth
shut You say someday.
I'm going to go with Y1 someday.
I'm going to go to Africa someday I'm
going to serve God listen.
Let the someday come later.
You do something right now.
I ask you To be sober about getting
engaged in witnessing you don't know how to
get a gospel tract it let us know
We'll give you a million.
Let's send some money And write the names
of ten people that do not know the
Lord and pray for them every day Have
the joy of thinking that someday I'm going
to stand before my Lord With people that
I led to him and the families and
people that came to know the Lord through
my life on earth And some of you
should be thinking about giving your life full
-time to serve God.
You know what hey, can I ask you
something?
Some people say you know what I am.
I am praying and asking God for guidance
what full-time service full-time missionary work
Don't ask you How much fasting and praying
you did to go and work for a
bank?
To teach at a place or be an
engineer what a what a crazy way look
at things I would ask you to think
about saying Lord All I want is to
serve you somewhere with my life the highest
call on planet earth If if that is
not there then okay, I'll go and work
At a bank or be a doctor or
something.
I was telling people last night You know
my daughter married a medical doctor, and I
remember talking this young man Six months prior
to finalizing everything I see I just want
to ask you Danny What is your life
all about you're a medical doctor He said
you know what I went to study medicine
because the Lord told me to do this
But really my call is to be a
witness and serve him everywhere.
I go but being a doctor.
That's my vocation I Allowed him to marry
my daughter for materialism Will keep you from
following your God Jesus said you cannot serve
God and money listen Some of you say
I don't know that bro.
I don't have much money, but what about
your longing?
How do you handle your sources right now?
Don't make your decisions based on how much
money you are going to make from that
profession or job You rather walk on earth
with empty pockets With Jesus and live and
die for him and give you a life
Make money and riches.
It's not worth it, but if you're making
a million no problem You spend that money
for the glory of God.
I am NOT against rich people or people
are lots of money number five Make up
your mind to be his Recently my wife
talked to a young girl who was struggling
about either she must listen to her friends
and lot of noises about her Future or
she must follow the Lord and my wife
asked Let me ask you.
What is you think the Lord wanted to
do she said?
I know he wanted me to serve him,
but my parents and my friends.
They don't believe like that and Gisela said
The Bible verses I read for you She
read it to her and said I tell
you what you make up your mind This
is going to be difficult Pain and sorrow
and loneliness rejection, but it's worth it if
you don't don't worry about it Jesus still
loves you.
He's not against you, but once you make
up your mind I am NOT going to
continue this friendship with this girl Because she's
not one that helped me to fulfill the
call I will not maintain this friendship with
this boy No matter how handsome and rich
he may be because this is not what
my Lord is wanting from me.
I will not Be partner with any of
this stuff going on anymore this music this
book this entertainment because my call is Different
you better make up your mind to be
his You will have no more to struggle
like you're struggling now this way and that
way and every way I guess You know
by far the majority of people today are
wasting their lives living for themselves But today
on the road to reality we've seen just
how great an impact we can have if
we live for Christ KP O'Hanlon is
the founder of gospel for Asia and his
message today is called living for eternity We
hope it's encouraged you to do just that

They don't believe like that and Gisela said
The Bible verses I read for you She
read it to her and said I tell
you what you make up your mind This
is going to be difficult Pain and sorrow
and loneliness rejection, but it's worth it if
you don't don't worry about it Jesus still
loves you.
He's not against you, but once you make
up your mind I am NOT going to
continue this friendship with this girl Because she's
not one that helped me to fulfill the
call I will not maintain this friendship with
this boy No matter how handsome and rich
he may be because this is not what
my Lord is wanting from me.
I will not be partner with any of
this stuff going on anymore this music this
book this entertainment because My call is different.
You better make up your mind to be
his You will have No more to struggle
like you're struggling now this way and that
way and every way I guess You know
