Always optimism should be accompanied by a large dose of
realism. There are those who say the world is getting better and will lead to
the coming of God’s kingdom. They are
obviously wearing blinkers. Our world is
in a huge mess of our own making. Some
of us are very fortunate to live in peace and tranquillity, but this is not the
situation for the greater part of the world’s population. The kingdom of God
will only come when Jesus returns as He promised. Until then there will be trouble and strife.
Of course we should do our best to alleviate the problems others face. However who can we trust with the money we
would send to help? What people need is
Jesus and I do not want to commit my money to people who will give help for the
body but not for the soul. I know some missionaries who are doing both in Papua
New Guinea and so I give to them.
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.
