Suicide

It doesn't take much to see there is much stress inducing things in this world, from self esteem, finances, wars and disease, and any number of things. For some, the stress can be overwhelming and too hard to handle. The sad point is there are some who would rather end their lives instead of doing something about their situation or seeking help. Even worse, they may believe there is no hope for  their situation. There is always hope. The situation may be uncomfortable and difficult, but there is a way out. There may always be scars, but the pain is not the one in control. You are the one who decides to use the strength you have to reach out for help or to give in to the lies that you can't go on. There is so much more to life than to end it prematurely.

Who Should Come

Matthew 28:19 (ESV) 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Matthew 22:9 (ESV) Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’

Here it is Easter Sunday. If there should be a day for street preaching, it should be today. Everyone has the same access to eternity with God the Father without bias. Once invited you do have to choose, but all are invited. Those of us who have already accepted the invitation, will we let those who haven't heard run the risk of spending eternity away from God?
