Chris McCandless, 24, went “Into the Wild” worshipping created things rather than the Creator… and starved to death.
“Ron Franz”, in his eighties, professing Christ, rejected Christ because he, “… couldn’t believe in a God who would let something…” like that happen to Chris.
Why is that such a lame excuse if one understands the message of the Bible?
Chris was a very impressive young man in so many ways, according to the reports in Jon Krakauer’s book.
Prior to Chris’ death he wrote, “I have had a happy life and thank the Lord. Goodbye and may God bless all!”
My hope is that perhaps those words are evidence that Chris reconciled with his Creator on the Lord’s terms.
