Some people think that other
people might need to be saved, but not them. They have never murdered, stolen
much, lied greatly, or cheated on their marriage.
They may even be quite
religious in their own way.
Are such people so good that
they do not need to be saved? Listen in…
Some people have done things
that have devasted other people’s lives, and yet, if they were reminded of
them, they do not even remember doing whatever it was. Other people have done
things they cannot forget. If only they hadn’t done it, said it, thought it.
What hope is there for anyone
who has given up on themselves, others have given up on them, and they are
thinking God must have given up on them long ago? This message is for you…
We are told that religion is
the cause of all the wars in the world. This ignores the fact that in the 50
years that atheistic communism held sway more people were slaughtered by war,
execution and oppression than in the preceding 1900 years.
But religion is a problem. It
has a bad name. It has had a bad press. This message looks at the problem.

a religious club? Click on the link!
Man, we are told, is a social
creature. We gather into groups. The family is the foundational group. But
football crowds, a gang of louts in the street, a party, or a quiet meeting
in the pub, are all expressions of that desire for friendship. These days,
people form virtual’ relationships.
They meet and even go on to marry after forming friendships over the
internet.
Men and women and boys and
girls are made for fellowship and friendship, but so many are lonely. What is
the answer to it? Here is an answer.
Discouragement, depression and
despair are terrible feelings. To look back with regret, to look around with
misery and to look ahead with no hope is a grim way to live.
The hope spoken of in the
Bible is not a vague and general optimism, rather it is an assurance arising
out of the God and our situations. Despair is not necessary. The way out is
not to end it all, but to begin again, this time, with Christ as Saviour and
Lord.
