Reversing the Debt We've Created

This is a video script that I had written for our campus ministry at LSU. You just have to read it forwards and backwards to see what a difference a reversal can make.

I have to die lost.
And I don’t believe
there is hope.
I do know
no one cares about you.
It is foolish to think
God is real.
It is easy to conceive
that I can not affect someone’s life.
It is not worthwhile to believe
for eternal life to be sought after.
I am taught in a way to which
I curse god and forgot his commandments.
It will never be said that
I will live to see my family saved.
I strongly trust
that I will end up divorced.
No longer choosing to accept
earns favor in the sight of the Lord.
Using my talents to further the kingdom of God
will be my greatest mistake.
Denying the cross at Calvary
is worth losing my soul over.
Nothing in my life
is more important than living for the moment.
Raising my children in church
will do no good.
Enjoying drugs and alcohol
will give me a lasting satisfaction.
Following God's will
only leads to a dead end road.
Choosing to fulfill fleshly desires
gives pure happiness.
The joy of the Lord
won't be my strength.
All of my possessions
can fill the emptiness inside.
Only a relationship with Christ
won't help me reach my eternal potential.
Doing nothing
we determine this won't happen.
We are defeated if
our college campuses can be saved.
it will be evident that
making money is my only goal in life
I will be completely wrong when
I stand up for what I believe.
I have my priorities straight when
partying
is more important than
God.
my life is meaningless.
There is no use to believe
There is hope.

And all this will come true unless we choose to reverse it...

There is hope.
There is no use to believe
my life is meaningless.
God
is more important than
partying.
I have my priorities straight when
I stand up for what I believe.
I will be completely wrong when
making money is my only goal in life.
