Can'T Drive a Prius to Heaven

There is an eco-friendly, multi-religion ideology that's gradually taking over our society, and I refer to it as the Prius Theology. You may know what I mean, friends, by the following. I'll be driving down the road, and I'll come to a stoplight, and in front of me will be a Prius with a bumper sticker on one side that says, Vote for Bernie, and a bumper sticker on the other side that says, Coexist.

In between them is a peace symbol. The young driver is wearing Birkenstock sandals and a t-shirt that says, A club a sandwich, not a seal. And as his Prius slowly drives away, he sips his grande latte.

And if you were to listen to his ideology, he would announce to you, matter of factly, I will smoke what I want to, and drink what I want to, and I'll sleep with who I want to, and I'll marry my own gender if I want to, and I'll change my gender if I want to, because I am free to do whatever I want to, because I am the God of my universe, so get out of my face, and stay out of my space, and keep your religion to yourself. The adherents to this new vegan ideology will do all they can to protect the planet, and do all they can not to protect the unborn. They will tell you the Bible is just another book on par with other works of fiction, and that God is merely a myth, and that Buddha and Muhammad are co-equals with your Jesus.

And they will look at you very condescendingly as they pontificate over you about your errors of being a small-minded bigot who thinks Jesus is the only way to heaven. They will tell you that all roads, and as all roads lead to Rome, so will all religions lead to heaven, if there really was one even in the first place. But I have news for you, friend, if you will just move your slow-moving Prius out of the way for a moment to listen to this fast-talking preacher.

Buddha lived, died, and was buried. Confucius lived, died, and was buried. Muhammad lived, died, and was buried.

Jesus lived, died, and was buried. But he rose again, for he is a risen Christ, and Lord of Lords, and he will not be a co-equal with any man. There is a fast-approaching day when he will come again to judge the living and the dead, and every knee will bow to him and confess him as Lord.

And if he's not your Lord, then he'll put his foot on your neck when he makes his enemies his footstool. Listen, friend, there are not many roads that lead to heaven, but only one. Jesus declared, I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man cometh unto the Father but by me.

There was one road, friend, and it is a narrow one. There was one God, friend, and he is the only one. There is one place called heaven and one place called hell, and if you miss Christ and fail to get under his precious blood, then you'll end up in that place called hell, and be shut up in there forever.

Turn from your wicked ways and repent of your sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the only way to heaven, before it's too late. You can't drive a Prius to heaven. Let us pray.
