Tuesday is the day I meet with five other ladies to spend some time looking at some subject from the Bible. We start with a cup of something and lots of general chat, catching up with what has happened since the last time we met. We share our problems and our joys. After about 20 minutes I call the meeting to order and we start with a short prayer, asking God to bless our time together and teach us from the Bible. Tonight we read in Acts, Romans and Corinthians about Priscilla and Aquila who were friends of Paul and shared his trade of tent making. They met in Corinth after Priscilla and Aquila had moved there from Rome as Emperor Claudias had expelled the Jews from Rome. They spent 18 months together there living in the same accommodation. How would you like that to have been you, spending time learning about the christian faith from the great apostle Paul? You could ask him about all those letters he wrote and get him to explain them more fully to you. Don't despair you have the Holy Spirit with you if you are willing to learn. He will help you in your search for the truth.
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.
