So where did you get your religion? How did you come to believe the things that you believe? Did you find your religious concepts in the Bible? Or did you get your religious ideas from family and friends?

Your very life depends upon your willingness to change. Your eternity depends on what you do with God's revealed truth, which leads to eternal life. But knowing the truth is not enough. God wants you to act. Will you respond?

You have probably heard the saying attributed to circus magnate Phineas T. Barnum, "There's a sucker born every minute." Nearly all of us have been deceived at least a few times in our lives. Upon careful research, even Barnum's famous "quote" turns out to be a deception invented by one of his rivals.

Can you picture the reality of the coming Millennium, when the earth will be under the perfect rule of Jesus Christ? Your Bible reveals a message of hope about this soon-coming time.
