Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Clapping, excitement, anticipation! Millions of us sit on the edge of our seats, watching our TV screens, hoping a player on one of the most popular television programs in America, "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" will win the game. What a great idea! To have a chance at gaining enough money to live on comfortably for the rest of your life!

How is the game played? A person is chosen from the studio audience and is asked a series of questions. If he answers them correctly, he wins! The creators of the game want each player to win and they help him win. This makes the game even more exciting!

If the player is not sure, the game show host suggests three options to help him find the correct answer:

1. He may ask the people in the audience and take a vote. (Many people simply choose the way of the crowd.)

2. He may eliminate two wrong answers. (Sometimes people randomly select an answer after eliminating the worst choices. This is a risky option.)

3. He may call a trusted friend on the Life Line. (Prior to playing the game, people carefully choose the person in whom they will place their trust and hope.)

Imagine you are chosen to play a similar game called, "Who Wants to Be More than a Millionaire?" The host of the game show asks you a simple spiritual question, "What must you do to be saved?" You think for a moment without answering, as you realize the stakes of the game.



You feel like you know the answer, but you are not 100% sure. Then you are reminded you have three options for help.

1. Will you choose to take a vote of the people around you and select the popular answer?

2. Will you choose to ask the host to eliminate two wrong answers and guess which remaining answer is correct?

3. Will you choose to ask a trusted friend on the Life Line? Will you choose a Friend who knows the correct answer because he wrote the answer book?

It is not a game. It is life. Do you want to be more than a millionaire? Here's your question: "What must you do to be saved?"

Why not ask the Friend and read the Answer Book?  He's waiting...

Oh Lord, you alone are my hope...Who but God controls the future?  Who but God has a home for us that is eternal?  Who but God forgives our sins?  Who but God can give us a life that lasts forever?  No wonder He is our hope!  Psalm 71:5

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life!  John 3:16
