Some people say you need to accept Jesus by asking Him into your heart because you will have a better life. I think these people have good intentions, but I’m afraid theiy are missing the mark.

I live in the state of Missouri in the United States of America. I live in what is known as the “Bible Belt.” This is a section of the United States where we are known as people who believe in God and the majority of the population goes to church.

Do you watch American Idol? I have watched it a few times and I’m always impressed with the talented singers who compete.
