Religion in Our Lives
Religion is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that has been present in human society since the beginning of civilization. It is an integral part of many people's lives, providing a framework for understanding the world, creating meaning and purpose, and offering guidance on how to live a good and virtuous life.
Religion is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that has been present in human society since the beginning of civilization. It is an integral part of many people's lives, providing a framework for understanding the world, creating meaning and purpose, and offering guidance on how to live a good and virtuous life.
One reason why religion is so needed today is that it provides a sense of stability and comfort in an increasingly uncertain and chaotic world. Many people today are grappling with issues such as political polarization, social unrest, economic inequality, and environmental degradation. In the face of such challenges, religion can offer a sense of hope and optimism, as well as a sense of community and belonging.
Another reason why religion is needed today is that it provides a framework for ethical and moral decision-making. Religion offers a set of guidelines and principles that can help people navigate complex ethical issues and make difficult choices. For example, many religious traditions emphasize the importance of compassion, forgiveness, and empathy, which can be essential in creating a more just and equitable society.
Religion also offers a source of inspiration and motivation. Many religious traditions emphasize the importance of service and charity, encouraging their followers to help others and make a positive difference in the world. This can be a powerful source of motivation, as people are often inspired to do great things when they feel that their actions are guided by a higher purpose.
In conclusion, religion is needed today because it provides a sense of stability, guidance, and purpose in an increasingly complex and uncertain world. It offers a framework for ethical and moral decision-making, a source of inspiration and motivation, and a sense of community and belonging. It is equally important to appreciate the many ways in which it can contribute to human flourishing and well-being.

Thoughts
The Scriptures as published in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible together with those published and taught by other faiths as a continuation of those beloved old Scriptures. And because of those teachings one must believe we are in fact “IN THE LAST DAYS” before the Lord Jesus Christ returns to rule the earth.
When He will come; no one knows but it would appear to be much sooner that most everyone believes. All of the signs are there to see; Those taught by Joel, Timothy, Daniel, and others in the bible together with those of my own faith. We see earthquakes in divers’ places, hurricanes, floods, destruction of all sorts, plagues, pestilence, violence of every sort, moral decay, decline of religious belief in general and on and on. We also see “THE GATHERING OF ISREAL” as it commences and is reported to us on TV and social media.
Church leaders have been teaching preparation for these events for a long time. They encouraged us to be happy and eager and to do the lord’s work in preparation. The overall theme to me was saying --- we are already in difficult times, and they will get worse over time. We will be tested in this probationary state. It is so necessary we quit pretending to be faithful with our words of - - Lord Lord -- Mathew 7.;21. To me they seemed to be saying ‘Strengthen your faith and belief in Jesus Christ and take upon you His name and believe in Him’ keep his commandments and you can actually look forward to His coming because you believe in Him and will stay strong in your faith.
Those that do so will be saved at that great and terrible day of the coming of the lord. Regardless of your faith, do not forsake it. Study the Scriptures, go to church if you can, learn of Him, believe in Him, witness unto Him, get baptized if needed, learn to ‘hear Him,’ and renew and keep your covenants with Him. The last days are real.
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
