Steve Irwin's death was news again recently, after his cameraman said that his last words were, "I'm dying." The wildlife expert lived on the edge, and got his thrills by messing around with killer animals.

Another Australian (a 19 year-old) is on life support after he played Russian roulette, and lost. His mother posted on Facebook: “Come on son — please please fight like you always have — no words can explain how desperate we are for you to just hang on and fight.”

They took a chance with their lives because they thought that they could beat the odds. The world does that sort of thing daily. But you're a Christian. You know better than to take risks with the precious gift of life God has given you.

Or do you? Perhaps you're an Adrenalin junkie and need a fix. Okay. Here's one that will put you on the edge but probably won't put your life on the line.

Get a soapbox (a plastic milk crate will do). Go to your local university, stand on it, lift up your voice like a trumpet and ask if your hearers think there's an afterlife.

Then preach the gospel. Do you have the backbone to do that? I suspect that you don't. Prove me wrong.

Write in the comments that you want to do this, and if enough people are interested, I will post further details on what to do....feel the fear.
