Are You Dead or Alive? (30 of 31)
Series: 2 Corinthians

2 Corinthians 13:1-6
If you have your Bible, please turn to 2nd Corinthians chapter 13. We are coming close to the end of our study in 2nd Corinthians. And tonight, we want to talk about a message I've entitled Are You Dead or Alive?
Now how many in this room would classify yourself as Star Trek fans? Anybody a Star Trek fan? All right. Star Trek has been around for a long time. The original series came on in the 1960s. And it wasn't tremendously popular, I don't believe, when it first aired, but then the reruns started to produce lots of Star Trek fans know as Trekkies, and then they would go to the conventions all dressed up.

Is he breathing? Is he dead or alive? And oftentimes you would hear him say these words: ''He's dead, Jim. He's dead, Jim.'' And pretty much every show somebody's dying, right? That's kind of unrealistic that, every day you've got people on your ship of 400 so that there's somebody dying, but that's what happened in Star Trek. ''He's dead, Jim.'' But he only said that after he checked him out, and he checked for vital signs and signs of life. And if there was no pulse, and if there was no heartbeat, and if his little prop thing didn't work right, he knew th ...
