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?

In the event of the death of a loved one of a close friend, one is usually left in great sorrow as in many instances one fails to imagine how life there after is going to be like.

In order to attain good grief counseling NJ occupants should not hide they pain. This allows the experts to effectively offer assistance as they have knowledge on the problem.

Discussing problems always make them to fly away. One should never doubt the power of sharing difficulties. This thus should be a major consideration for anyone who is suffering in silence. When one talks to others they share their pain and thus it is lessened from their hearts. People who do not talk always find themselves with heavier mental burdens than those who discuss with the right people.

It always pays to share the experience with a well trained and experienced counselor. The end results of doing this are very positive to the client. The experts always find a way of making their clients feel okay regardless of the issue. This therefore should be a consideration for those looking to end their pain and sorrow in the shortest time possible.

Death is a natural occurrence. This means that however we love one another they will die when their time comes.

They should for this reason find strength within themselves to move on as life cannot stop at the death of their loved ones. One should put in mind the many things they need to achieve and get the courage to move on from these.

Holidays and vacations are a good way of getting away from the stress and agony of a loss of a loved one. One for this reason needs to consider this fact during their time of mourning.

A wise person considers keeping the memories of the departed person out of their reach until they have healed. This goes a long way in forgetting the person as they are not constantly reminded of them. In return the recovery process is faster and therefore less painful.

In order to attain favorable grief counseling NJ occupants are advised to engage competent experts for the very best outcomes. This allows one to ease the pain as they discuss with good persons their pain. It this also ensures that one does not bear the pain for a long time.

The path of a Missionary

By Penelope Ian Brown


There is always an significant distinction within evangelists and missionaries. Many times, ministers say that "everyone is a missionary." The ministers who say that are typically attempting to convey some truth but the peril in saying that is that cross-cultural missions usually vanishes and the motivation for it dies down.

Pastor John Piper states "Evangelism is speaking to anyone anywhere the gospel. You don't have to succeed at it. Evangelism is happening even if somebody is not getting saved. But you need to say it. So saying the gospel to anyone is evangelism. It could your mother or your father. It could be a Christian, but usually we think of it as somebody who is not a Christian. Missions is doing that by crossing a culture. It usually involves learning a language, learning new cultural things where there is no church in which people are doing evangelism of those in that culture. They don't have any access to the gospel."

Therefore "missions" in such a situation is cross-cultural evangelism to those of us who have no availability to the gospel- It is sermonizing the gospel in a location where it has never been heard. Paul's statement in Romans 15:20 sums up missions. He writes "It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation."

A christian missionary is a leader. Like Christ, all Christians are called to be servant leaders. Leadership is impact. And christian missionaries influence people for Jesus. While all Followers of Christ are called to be emissaries for Jesus, missionaries are supporters for Christ in an unknown land. They must be eminent leaders.

The missionary is helpful at uniting with people. One method to unite is by meeting felt needs.The missionary regenerates himself. Besides uniting people with the gospel of Christ, the missionary makes it a concern to instruct others to become missionaries too mainly those who will adopt the mantle from him.
