The materialistic and the spiritual world.

   
 
 
Our society is close to 100 % materialistic.  It concern politics, commerce, art, music, culture, education a.s.f.  When I am listening to and  reading everyday media, whatever program, whatever subject , is the message, money, money, money and all sort of material things.  It is not always so.  I have a few examples of the opposite.  Devotions and churchservices in radio or in TV.  Let me also mention many christian radiostations and TV stations and of course christian newspapers and periodicals.
The "religion" of materialism has followers from kindergarten to old peoples homes, in our land. 
The background  for this  materialistic  "religion" has to do with a strong protest against the biblical standpoints and teaching of God as the mighty Creator of the universe.  The teaching of Darwinism is a "deadblow" to believe that God has created all tings, the nature, the planets, the animals and human beings.
When God is wiped from the map, you cannot find Jesus either.  The ultramaterialistic way of life may kill your soul.  Jesus said:  "What does it profit a man if  he win the whole world but damages his soul.  What can you give instead of  lost soul.?  Just nothing.
Because of this terrible misunderstanding many people believe that when the body die, everything is finished - over and out,    There is no life after death, they say.  This generation has come to the conclusion that the spiritual part of the existence has no value, because the most important is the here and now!
This is very  dangerous, because life is so short and eternity is so tremendous long.  Eternity cannot be measured at all, from eternity to eternity.  Lost or saved.  That's the question.
I remind you about the fact that in heaven you have the  trinity.  the Father God,  God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.  God gave his only begotten Son, so that none need to perish but have eternal life  God gave His Son because of Love.  God loves your soul and He is ready to save your eternal soul when you pray to him.
Yes, you have an eternal soul.  As a soul you will never die.  When you leave this world your existence will continue on forever and forever, either in heaven or in hell, depending  on your position to Jesus and his cross.  Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household,  The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses you from all your sins.  Believe it!  Pray to God in the name of Jesus, and he will save you!  God bless you now and forever!
