One Day, What Will We Say?

Verse 7 clearly tells us that none of us lives just to ourselves. There is more about life than what there is down here on earth. There's more about life than families; There's more about life than jobs; There's more about life than counting our aches and pains.
v. 10 gets quite explicit. It says, one day we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. We will all give an account according to v. 12. Each one of us will give an account of himself to God...
