“For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace.”Romans 8:6 HCSB
Life and peace sure beats death. However, the modern man would say, “I will make my own way!” And expect life and peace. Or they would subscribe to some guru and go on a retreat to experience life and peace. Both receive the gong. They both are fleshly and not Spirit based.
Today I played a game with friends who wanted to farewell me from Australia, many would subscribe to the guru. However, we had a good discussion about palliative care as opposed to euthanasia. I agreed that I cannot make people choose life and I do not have the authority to insist that those who wish to euthenaise themselves should instead choose life. If a person refuses to follow Christ, I cannot insist that killing themselves is wrong. It is for me, as I am a person of faith, however, I cannot make them choose as I would. The Lord gives us free will. He wants us to choose Him and His ways willingly.
My God has a plan and a way which is much better than mine. His way brings life, mine brings death. Amen!
