With so many of life's activities you have players and spectators. In classical music you have the orchestra and soloist playing to an audience. In sport you have the footballers and their spectators. In athletics you have the famous athletes and their crowd of supporters. In the church you have the minister with a watching congregation????? Now just a minute that should not be the case. All the church people are members of the body of Christ. Paul likens us to athletes who give up all the things in our lives that stop us running the race. There is no place in the church for spectators. Athletes train hard and long with their mind only on winning the race. Christians should spend their lives doing all they can to please Jesus.This will include caring for one another and helping one another to get closer to our Lord. Stop spectating and get on with the job in hand.
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.
