DAILY?READINGS: Ex. 2:23 to 3:22; Psalms 32-33; Matt. 28

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1

Some years ago there was an upsurge of suicides in our area, especially among young people. Meetings were held to try and discern underlying causes such as: lack of family life, drug or drink misuse, criminality, broken relationships, unemployment, occult involvement. Yet if the prevailing atheistic philosophy is true, then life has no meaning or purpose. If we are simply the result of the chance encounters of impersonal atoms, then we came from nothing and go to nothing. It all appears so hopeless that suicide almost seems logical. What makes all the difference is the reality of God who created us and to whom we are ultimately answerable.—Paul Young

God is here, God is present, God is moving by His Spirit;
Can you hear what He is saying, are you willing to respond?
