I Could Be Wrong But I Doubt It

by Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty Clan

The book is written by the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty Clan, Phil Robertson. He writes in a very understandable way. He uses a lot of common sense theories to explain Jesus. It was an enjoyable read.

I have noticed since turning 50 years old life has went by fast. The time between my teenage years and now has been a very brief time. I can remember things from high school like it was yesterday. But ask me about last week and I will have a problem. The Bible calls life “a vapor” (James 4:14). I have had time to think about the next chapters in my life as I stroll toward death. I want to focus more on God and family while letting pride and self die. We are merely mortal beings passing through anyway. I want my life to have a legacy on my family and community. When I eventually die. Wait a minute, I said, “Die.” Yes, that is correct we were born to die. I know everything in us cries out that death is unnatural. It is going to happen to you, your children, the Burger King employee, and even the President. We can’t escape it. How are you living on earth? Do you have an eternal purpose? God raised Jesus form the dead and promises to do the same for those who trust in Him. That’s great news if you are a wretched sinner like me. By choosing Jesus, we are choosing eternal life. Immortality! The life we choose is more than just avoiding hell. We are choosing an intimate relationship with the Father we love and the Son who died on our behalf. People who know Jesus and take Him at His word about how they should live during their brief time on earth tend to invest in things that are permanent rather than temporary. Jesus people tend to engage in delayed gratification. We have evaluated the things of the world and compared them to heaven and concluded it is far better to invest in eternal things. So, my question to you, “How are you going to live your life?”
