philosophy
Hi Folks,
It isn't any persons place to tell you how to live your life.
We cannot set ourselves up to be judges of those around us. We also cannot sin, as Christians believing that sin will show examples of God's Grace in the world...and thereby increase faith. God forbid.
As we all make this short little journey, down life's jagged pathway, we intermittently search for guidance on how best to live our lives. There are competing philosophies in the world of course. Some of these philosophies make a good bit of sense too. The peacefulness of Buddhism is attractive to those with turmoil in their lives. The structured precepts of the Hindis can be attractive to a person that is leading a chaotic life too. Even the science fiction of the Christian Science folks has a certain fascination to the immature mind.
We all seek spiritual harmony, it is inherent to our nature.
All of those minor philosophies fall short of the mark. When we look at the knowledge of the ancients, the knowledge of Christ...and see how this one man changed the world, how can we deny His power, and His "rightness"? This one man, Jesus Christ, changed the world. He came at a times when we needed Him to come. He will also come into your life, at a time when you ASK him to come...He can change your personal world also. People inherently fear change. Sometimes it takes a major or catastrophic event to make a person invite change into their lives. If this has recently happened to you, or someone you know, ask Jesus into your life. A positive change is waiting for an invitation.
Some folks who call themselves "realists" might even choose to believe that life is happenstance, and a lucky combination of structured atoms, with no intelligence other than practical experience guiding the process of our species, and the planet. Arrogance is exhibited by many in that particular philosophy. Arrogance, contemptuous pride, I believe is what made Adam and Eve take that first bite of forbidden fruit. Since our earliest human existence we have exalted ourselves.
I don't have any answers for you either. I only can tell you that my personal set of experiences has led me to believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour.
I know that God is LOVE. I know that God is PEACE. I know that God is POWER. I know that God is PURPOSE.
I have had the privilege of being in a position to witness His power in peoples lives many, many times. My own life included of course. Without Jesus my life, would be an incredibly hollow experience. I have seen the power of faith in God, through the belief in Jesus Christ, heal people of horrible things. Diseases, and addictions. Some of the most horrible things in life can be healed ONLY through the power of faith, in Christ. I have seen this, and so I believe. Or is it, I have believed this, and so I have seen?
Believe upon Christ, your Lord, and your salvation WILL be received within an instant.
Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and your afflictions WILL be healed.
Live your life for the Glory of Jesus Christ, and your life will become worthy of respect.
Believe, Call and Live...the name above all names...Jesus Christ.
May God richly bless you on your journey, and may we all see Glory together. In doing so we will finally understand the unknowable, together...and we will laugh, together.
