How do non-Christians cope with adversity and grief? As a Christian, it's been difficult to cope with grief and strife. We can turn to Almighty God for help, as He is always with us. But how does one cope with the death of a loved one and the grieving person isn't saved? Losing a job? Divorce? I can only imagine how awful that can be. I know I will see my loved ones again and I hold on tightly to that. Some people believe that when you're dead you exist no longer.....that's the end of the road.....lights out. What kind of purpose does one live who believes that. There is no promise of anything from a Higher Source, Almighty God, after death. That is the purpose of this part of the website.....telling people about Jesus. They don't have to be alone. There is Someone who loves them and wants to be a part of their lives. His Name is Jesus!
Dr. Billy Graham is an evangelist, meaning going around preaching about Jesus and not having a church employ him. He, to me, is the greatest evangelist of the 20th century.....like Paul in the New Testament. He never preached about church doctrine, one denomination over another.....he preached about Jesus. A very dear friend told me recently that it's all about Jesus....nothing else. Once you know Him, He'll tell you where to go next. Allow Him to find a church for you. He knows all about you. He knew you in your mother's womb, which means He's always known you. Our vision for this website should be to let people know that they are loved....first by Jesus, then us. I realize I had a rocky start here as moderator, but am getting my sea legs. People are hurting. Their hearts have been broken. Some have hit rock bottom from addictions and have lost everything, and some people are in jail. Maybe they aren't on this website, but someone who knows them is.
This world is more dangerous now than it's ever been. On Mother's Day, an 87 year old man was getting into his car to take flowers to his wife's grave. A teenager came up to rob him as he was in his car in a parking lot at a grocery store, and shot him. The man died. This happened about 1 1/2 miles from here.....nice neighborhood. I am grieving for both families. That's pre-meditated murder...murder in the 1st degree, and rightfully so. Of course the boy's mother is saying he is such a good boy. The breakdown of America's families is in critical condition. Children have lost their beloved father, and a mother has lost her son. I was in shock! Nothing like that has ever happened here. Crime is getting to the crucial point. There is no one who doesn't need Jesus.

I have tried to be perfect and sinless just for one day....didn't happen. Tried again....didn't happen. But, the difference is that I don't compare myself to others, for I compare myself to Jesus. His example is the benchmark I strive for.
