Our society holds to youthfulness with a white-knuckled grip. Ultimately it's all in vain. But the gospel promises us eternal youthfulness in God's presence.

(0 Reviews)

Randy Alcorn in his book "Seeing the Unseen" highlights society's obsession with youth and the fear of aging. People cling tenaciously to the notion of youth as though it holds the key to happiness and worth. This relentless pursuit is ultimately futile since aging is an inevitable part of life.

However, Alcorn offers a hopeful perspective through the gospel, which assures believers of eternal youthfulness and vitality in the presence of God. Instead of just focusing on physical appearance or the passing of time, the promise of everlasting life encourages a deeper understanding of true fulfillment and joy beyond earthly limitations.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
