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?

Who Am I? Why Am I Here? Where Am I Going?

By Olga Wright


The basic philosophical questions of life are three: "Who am I?" "Why am I here?" and "Where am I going?" You can tell one's worldview by the way they answer these questions. Up until about 150 years ago the answers to these questions were mostly based on man's understanding of God as the Creator of all things. Then, like a slow moving locomotive the age of enlightenment appeared. Slowly but ever so surely it was declared that truth might be known by following the rails of reason. The concept of God was placed on the back burner while men searched for truth through their own methods of logic. Having evicted God from the train, men began to develop atheistic ideas that were vacuous in content. The result was a carving of hopelessness in their hearts. God had affirmed to man that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom". (Proverbs 9:10) The depraved state of men's minds was made vulnerable by the absence of the fear of God. Men began to develop absurd arguments that the complex and beautiful world in which we live was all a "mysterious accident". They propped up these arguments with nonsensical statements such as, "Something came from nothing". One NASA scientist seems to have recognized the folly of trying to reason our way to truth without the help of a Supreme. Robert Jastrow said, ‎"For the scientist who has lived by faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." Though these three questions are life's most important, Americans in general are very apathetic about finding answers to them. The American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) reveals that the number who claim to have no religious affiliation increased from 8% in 1990 to 15% in 2008. When asked about having purpose in life, 28% told a Lifeway survey that "It's not a priority in my life to find my deeper purpose". The collective reply of many younger Americans regarding the discovery of the wisdom of God is a resounding "whatever"!

When she started her missionary work she had only three saris and a five rupee note in her hand. She proved to the world that one can achieve anything in this world even without money. When she saw orphan children dying out of hunger she went to a bakery man and begged him to give some bread. The enraged man spit on her hand. But Mother Teresa told him softly that she would keep the spit for herself and begged him to give something to eat for the poor and orphaned children holding out her other hand. The man realized her gentle character and later donated her with bread whenever she needed. This incident shows her magnanimity, one of the wonderful leadership qualities in her.

She was so simple and humble that she never cared for her own comforts. The sari she wore costs only one Us dollar. The white sari with blue border has become a symbol of peace and solace to the poor and destitute. She knew very well that if she should heal other people she must suffer herself and this was what she stated to Princess Diana once when she met her. She took initiatives during a famine in Ethiopia, spread the message to the then Us President Ronald Reagan and he sent his help to the place with food and medicine.

'There's a thing called the internet which links millions of computers all over the world and you can use it to find out the facts about everything.' OK, I use my home computer to do just that. But all I know is that words and pictures appear on the screen when I fiddle with the keyboard. For all I know some demon is tapping into my phone connection and making it all up. Maybe there is no internet. Descartes carried this process to its logical conclusion. He knew that all the information received by his brain came through the nerves connected to his eyes, ears, skin, nose and mouth. And the demon could be feeding bogus information along those nerves. So where did that leave him? He now made the statement that remains famous 400 years later:

Where am I going? The atheist believes that the universe will eventually drift further and further apart until the energy and heat and gravity will no longer affect the heavenly bodies. Just as the universe will cease to exist, man will also cease to exist. Death is simply an eternal sleep. From nothing we came and to nothing we shall return.

The Christian strongly disagrees with the atheist. The Christian doesn't believe we came from nothing nor does he believe we are on the road to nowhere. Solomon makes a solemn comparison when he says, "Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies so dies the other...All go to the same place; all come from dust and to dust all return." (Ecc. 3:18) Christians understand that Christ is coming back again. He has not promised us emptiness, he has promised us restoration. He will renew his creation and establish a new kingdom. He will rule that kingdom with perfect justice which will result in everlasting peace.

The atheist finds no significance in his life. The Christian realizes that he has unfathomable significance because he was created in the image of God. The atheist finds no meaning in life. The Christian agrees with Solomon's proclamation that life is indeed meaningless apart from God. "...here is the conclusion of the matter, fear God..." (Ecc. 12:13) The atheist has no hope for his future. The Christian revels in the truth of Christ's resurrection. He has brought us "into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." (1 Peter 1:3) He has gone to prepare a place for us. (John 14:3) and he promises he will return for us.

Grief Reconciliation: When the Time Comes to Mend Your Heart

By Sandy Ingram


I am a bereaved parent and always will be. More than four years have passed since my daughter died, yet I have times when tears come to my eyes. Still, I think of myself as someone who has come to terms with grief, someone who has reconciled to it and is moving forward with life. Because I know myself, I know the time has come to mend my heart.

Sometimes the challenges can feel overwhelming and we get lost emotionally in what is going on. Before we realise it the smallest problem feels like the biggest challenge in the world. We can recognise when the challenge has got out of proportion when we step back and see that the amount of stress caused by needing to find a battery for the clock far outweighed the true importance of having a working clock. But when it gets to things like family disputes or problems that interfere with us doing our work (such as the car breaking down so we can't get to where we need to be) then the line around what is important becomes very blurry. In the moment it can feel like the problem is the most important thing in the world and that nothing else matters. Yet is this really true?

While the trumpet is always loud, Jake explained, the ukulele is always soft, and "I had to learn to play it softer." He strummed a sample melody, starting with loud notes, progressing to softer ones, and then notes that were barely audible. According to Jake, soft music makes people listen intently.

Of course, not all problems are overcome in this way because they are really significant and important in our lives. So what happens when the problem in our lives is big and significant such as the loss of a job or a home or the break up of a relationship or the loss of a child or other loved one? Here the challenges are real. They aren't challenges that can be resolved in 5 minutes and the way to overcoming adversities such as these is in reaching a place of acceptance

Surprising as it may seem to you, his explanation made me think of my grief journey. Many mourners get angry at God, or a Higher Power, or at life. But anger doesn't provide answers, unfortunately. Though I never became angry I went through a time of intense self-examination. In fact, I followed Jake's example. Each day, I leaned in to my emotions and listened intently to them.

"Why not?" I reply. Though I am only one person, volunteering for organizations I believe in helps them carry out their missions and reach their goals. I am a volunteer editor for a bereavement website, serve on church committees, give free talks and write free articles. Writing is what I do and when I do it I'm mending my heart. Writing also connects me with my deceased daughter.

Big changes in our lives often mean life changing events where nothing is quite the same for us ever again. And within this there is continued scope for us to learn, to connect with our hearts and to live in the most beautiful and connected way we can. It is through overcoming adversities that we learn most, that we truly know ourselves and that we are given the gift of being truly connected to our heart. When we reach the place of acceptance, we reach a resting place: the emotions are stilled and we have found a way to meet our emotional needs. From here comes the beginning of the path to peace.

Why Problems After Problems?

By Joshua Nikenya


I usually fall short to comprehend why there is the arising of trouble where dilemma already exists! Does God understand that we humans will not handle it alone? Take an example of your mother being sick and admitted in hospital, then your wife or husband falls sick and before taking her/him to hospital, you receive bad news of your daughter/son being crushed down on the road by a vehicle! Would you be settled with that double tragedy?

This dilemma is a true story that happened to a certain staunch christian; imagine the same situation in your life! Would you question God out of faith or out of pain about the condition in your family life? You have to concur with me that everything here pains and it actually gives the majority no strength to continue with the strong faith they began with. Remember, the pressure we get during times of trouble shows what people we are and this is how God finds the true people who really love Him and cares less about world problems.

It's not that God allows us to go through those problems but it is our actions on how we deal with the arising of trouble that uncovers more about our characters other than the way in which we may desire to acknowledge the reality. And remember that the true character of any person is shown in the difficult times.

When our focus in life changes and all our expectations in Christ fade away, double trouble arises regardless of whether it takes a long time. Who will even remember to pray when double trouble gets in his family? Could you mind to ask God's help in the matter of responding to trouble? When we are in need of help, what's only needed from us is just the need to accept the reality, face it and seek the face of God and let Him lend His hand to whatever the situation is.

You don't have to cause other problems into your life; for instance health problems. This will only give a picture of giving up in life. When nothing seems to be going right, just a brief prayer gives us the courage to confront a difficult moment and through that kind of prayer, God allows our minds to settle down and forget about the real pain!

Let God know your hopes for your reservations and grief. I know it is painful and few can do it; don't ignore to be thankful during that difficult moment in your life. Before you take a move or step out of your door after shocking news, remember God and speak to Him through prayer.

Even though you will feel madness and craziness occupying all your mind and soul, and feel loneliness; the power to transform all our fear and faith comes through praying to God since our body and souls are lying in the hands of The Lord God who knows the reason behind the arising of trouble and which to Him are small.
