Today I have been to the LWPT meetings at Budleigh Salterton. Had a good day and met lots of lovely people. We spend a lot of time equipping ourselves for preaching and reaching out to people but sometimes seem not to get out there among the people we should be reaching. These meetings are good and have their place, but oh to be getting on with the job of reaching out.For every meeting we have with committed christians we should have three with those fumbling in the dark, needing answers. That means going outside the doors of the church to find them. We can't wait for them to come to us. They don't realize they can come to us because our behaviour is so foreign to them. We have to start learning their language again. We cannot expect them to learn ours.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
