There is more out there!
I was watching a television program about Christianity and devastating events that take place. The Pastor blamed it on Free Will, he said that the people have free will and God is always wooing them to the correct answer or God's will. It's unfortunate that we blame the easiest possible answer. For the past 100-200 years we have been evangelizing this world by telling the people that God has a wonderful plan for their lives. That is a problem when you start talking to 9/11 victims and hurricane victims. If the Gospel does not work for them, then it cannot work for everyone. There is one God and one body. We must keep the message the same, but can we change the way we present it to people? In this world of no absolutes can we teach people that there is a God who is Just, Holy, and Righteous. That He will be judging us at the end of our life and we will have to pay the consequences. Likewise, we must realize that God is perhaps trying to teach us something through these events that take place in our lives. When people come up against tribulation some say that God doesn't want them to go further, but some persevere through it and keep moving forward. What have you done and stopped because you think that God was telling you to stop? Some have tried writing books, teaching, and/or studying new methods, but they have stopped because something slowed them down or brought them to a stop. What can you do to persevere? How can you redeem the time? If you knew that God wanted the best for you, what would you change? Should you be doing something else? What would it look like, how can it help God redeem the world?
