Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Satan Will Not defeat Us

By Lee Lightfoot


Most of us tend not to take Satan gravely in our lives. Often he is described as this malicious cunning looking guy with a pitchfork who is immediately recognise. The real truth is that he was once one of the most pretty creatures in heaven before God cast him out because of his rebellion against God. The Bible announces he is "the angel of light". Part of his deception is how he can make sin and malicious so desirable to us. If he seemed a nasty demon, it might be straightforward to avoid him.

Make no mistake; Satan is the greatest enemy you may ever have in your life. The Bible announces he stalks around like a roaring lion looking to devour. He intends to leave nothing left of you when he's finished. According to John 10:10, he also comes to take, kill and destroy. He doesn?t simply cock up your life he destroys it one little lie after another.

Have you taken Satan seriously? He is real and is active and destructive in our lives, our sin nature is also just as real and just as damaging. Scripture tells us if we are saying we are without sin, we call God a liar. To deny the role of Satan and the role of sin in our life would be foolish.

We are living in a world that's fallen, a world cursed by God because of Adam and Eve's sin. We are living in a world full of death and illness where our body is wasting away. As the world is fallen and Satan is real, we're going to face suffering in this world.

We also know that we will live this life in victory. Also, after this life, we've got the hope of Heaven where there'll be no death, illness or sin, and Satan will be in the lake of fire. Our victory is warranted.
