trick-or-treat! here's something really sweet


Hey candy lovers, moms, dads and everyone else, thanks for visiting.

We like to have some serious fun on Halloween, which, if you ever stopped by our garage around October 31, you probably noticed. But we also like to remind you of something infinitely better than cool props, crazy performances and free candy. We want to tell you the best news we know, the Gospel.

What's the Gospel? Very simply, this:

  • God’s perfect, and He says we have to be perfect too. Problem: None of us are perfect. We think and say and do things God tells us not to, or neglect things He says we should, all the time. Our relationship with God is destroyed.
  • Jesus lived the perfect life we couldn’t, took on punishment by dying for imperfect people like us, and came to life again, proving He’s God. Only He could repair our relationship with Him.
  • God calls us to stop focusing on ourselves and all the things we want in this world, and to focus on Him, trusting Jesus as our Lord and the One who does everything we can’t.
  • For those who trust Jesus, He gives the greatest gift of all: Eternal life with Him forever.
That is incredible stuff and He's always worth taking time to tell you about. So take a minute to learn a little more about this incredibly good news. (<-- Go ahead and click.) To leave a message, question, whatever, just click "comments" below. No need to sign up or even leave an addy. And if there's any way we can pray for you, just let us know.

> > Another FREE treat: If you don't have one, we'll be glad to send you a complete Bible absolutely free. Just fill out this form. (Kids under 18, get your parent/guardian's permission first.)

>> New for 2011: Due to popular demand, we have a brand new blog displaying all the crazy stuff that happens in our garage every year about this time: All Hallow's Garage.

Also, if you visited the our excavation of the Pharaoh's tomb in '11, you'll read a little about the story of Jesus calling Lazarus out of the grave. You can find the complete story in John 11:1-46.

Have a great rest of the year. And enjoy the treats. ;-)
