I can remember the referendum for joining Europe when I was
still too young to vote. My parents were
strongly convinced that we should stay out and their reasons were based on a
belief that the European Union was somehow re-creating the Roman Empire and was
a sign of “the last days.” The Union has now become bigger than the old Roman
Empire. I am learning not to be
frightened of World events but to see them as exciting signs that Jesus will
soon come again. My father lived in the
light of that exciting event and I think it is important to live with a certain
amount of that excitement, but we do have to continue to live our lives in an
orderly and confident manner as many have waited and passed to glory not seeing
that time. As Cromwell said, “Trust in
God and keep your powder dry.” We must plan for the future whilst still
catching the vision of the glorious return of our Saviour.
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.
