WHAT IS YOUR LIFE?: DON'T WISH TO GIVE LIFE A MISS
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. What Is Your Life?
a) James asks, “What is your life?” (James 4:14). There's not a lot of realism about life. The nature of life on this earth is fairly evident, yet people live life as though it were far different to the reality.
James 4:13-17
13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
2. Don't Wish To Give Life A Miss
a) Some people suffer so terribly that they have every reason to wish their life on earth to end. But there are others whose suffering is in the shape of hopelessness.
b) They feel hopeless because they live Godless. They could endure life, perhaps even enjoy it, if only they would turn to God.
c) People without God do not feast on hope and truth and faith. Some of them feel an emptiness close to agony. They believe in oblivion, and that's what they hope for.
