Ending Your Own Life

- May 05, 2016

Suicide It's amazing that while listening to the car radio while driving, I remember hearing a preacher say, "your life isn't yours to take." And he proceeded to explain a little bit on why that is so. I thought nothing of it at the time. And the explanation he gave, in itself is not really something that would make one sit up and listen anyway. Not to me at least. Totally Random And why would I? It was just a random phrase from a random person, broadcasting on the air at a random time, which of course, I randomly happen to be tuning into and was able to hear it. It's amazing that I even had the radio on. I haven't realize it yet, but I was most probably destined to hear him say that. And I do not even know his name. Because you see just a few minutes earlier I got into a big argument with somebody very dear to me. And I was just driving like my mind was wandering else where, (which of course wasn't safe at all). And I was really in no mood

The Shepherd and His Flock

“I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

Therefore Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

John 10 (NIV 84)

Disclaimer

If you have issues with Hillsong or Bethel or Elevation or any of the so-called heretical churches or preachers, we are not condoning any false teachings. There is always something we can find wrong in all churches, including the one we call ours. But there is one faith, there is one baptism, there is One God, there is One Spirit and One Savior, Jesus Christ. If we agree on all these then let's all work together for good. The Lord is coming back. Let us stop wasting time with nitpicking, criticizing other believers because they wear strange clothes or sing weird songs, or read a version of the bible we don't, or speak in tongues or do or believe something which we don't, instead let us do what God has really called us to do. God has called each one of us to do something. Let's do that.
