Ted Turner has died. One thing that you will not hear talked about in remembering him is that he is a backslider. Like many people, he used a crisis in life as an excuse to turn his back on Christ in bitterness of soul.
I'm sure this was not on the top of Mr. Turner's mind through life. But he did live in the Bible belt so I am also sure that he was reminded from time to time of his need of a savior.
Well, old Mr. Turner knows now. Unfortunately now it is too late to do anything to correct that omission.
"And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement." Heb.9:27
"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" Mark 8:36
Your reasons for forsaking the faith of your fathers may make perfect sense to you in the moment. But those excuses will sound hollow and empty when you stand before Christ.
