Why are we not afraid of the bomb anymore?




I remember as a teenager in the sixties that we were all afraid of imminent nuclear war.  Today no one seems to feel this anymore.  Why is this?  I was hearing on the T.V. this evening that America and Russia still have nuclear weapons aimed at each other with button primed for immediate use.  So why does this get spoken of so rarely? I would say that most people are more worried about a terrorist  bomb, when they are on holiday than they are about huge devastation in a nuclear exchange.  The fact is people are so set on making money and buying the latest gadget, the things they believe they must have to be happy.  Also to contemplate nuclear devastation is not comfortable and so denial kicks in.  The danger of nuclear war is probably greater now than in the Cold War.  The reason I am less worried about it is because I believe God is in charge of all these things and He knows best.  That does not mean that it will not happen.  God’s ways are past finding out and only He knows what is best, whether it is in our personal lives or in world affairs. As we get nearer to the end of time many terrifying things will happen, but this means that if our trust is in Jesus we are being brought nearer to the resolution of all things when we will enter heaven to be with our Saviour forever. But for now we have important things to learn but most of all to trust Jesus whatever happens.

Life after death

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.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
