Every year we look forward to June and then it rains and rains. Hopefully in a few days it will have improved. Tonight I went to a meeting at the local church where they were hosting "Towards Belief." Inevitably the room was full of church folk althought the intention was to encourage uncommitted villagers in. How can anyone be moving towards belief when they are "dead in trespasses and sins?" I explained that I do not believe we have free will. We were looking at the subject of suffering and how it is an obstacle to faith. I think it is more likely an excuse for unbelief. Of course there are things to be looked at around suffering. Suffering is not pleasant but is often a means to making us grow in our faith.
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.
