That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show.

They say it's a thin line between love and hate, but we're working every day to thicken that line, or at least to make it a double or triple line.

Now here's your line jumping host, Eric Mattaxie.

Hey there, folks. Welcome. It's my privilege to have as my guest this hour, someone with whom many of you will be quite familiar.

Some of you will not. And those of you who are not, that's why I do this program.

I want to introduce you to people I think you maybe should be familiar with.

I'm talking about Ray Comfort.

He's the founder, CEO of Livingwaters.com, the best-selling author of more than 90 books, hard to believe but true.

He co-host the award-winning TV program, Way of the Master, which airs in almost 200 countries.

And I thought, this is vanity.

It's like chasing the wind because everything I grab is going to be ripped from my hands by this

mysterious thing called death. It didn't make any sense. And I remember one night as a non-Christian,

I just cried out why? Why? I wasn't even crying out to God. I just cried out why.

And thankfully, God heard my prayer. And six months later, I came to faith in Christ. I remember reading the sermon on the Mount where Jesus said, you've heard it said by them of old, you shall not commit adultery. And saying to myself, well, if there's a heaven, I'll probably get there because I've never committed adultery. but then I read the words of Jesus
