Which is worse? Some of us are openly attacked for our Christian faith whilst others have to face the deadly hand of apathy. In the Western world people are so busy making money and enjoying a luxurious life. They are content and do not want to think of what God requires of them. They are totally apathetic to the message of Jesus coming to save us from our sin. They don't want to be saved from their sin, they are enjoying it too much. Just as those in the persecuted countries need our prayers so we in the west need the prayers of our brothers so that we are not engulfed by the apathy and swallowed up by our own desire to have more and more gadgets.Indeed those of you being openly persecuted are far nearer to God and know him better. Knowing God is the most wonderful thing of all.
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.
