From Sherly's Desk...

Last week police caught 21 yrs. old young man for planting pipe bombs in mailboxes in America.  When people opened their mailboxes or postal workers opened it, they got injured.  When police caught him then they found that he was involved in new age movement and he loved some type of rock band music.  He told, "if he die, paradise awaits." 

How many people are misled by devil.  No one can go to heaven by violence.  Unless a person gets forgiveness of his/her sins they cannot go to heaven.  Bible says that Adam and Eve were living happily but one-day serpent came to Eve and asked her, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?"  She replied, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die."  Eve heard the voice of devil and ate the fruit of the tree and gave it to her husband Adam. 

It does not look like a big sin or crime but it was simple disobedience toward God.  What God forbad them to do they did.  But God punished them.  They lost the presence of God, they lost their home in the Garden of Eden, they lost their joy, peace and happiness.  Curse, death, pain, sorrow sufferings, sicknesses and tears came in this world.  Just because of one simple disobedience of Adam and Eve.  When God punished them so severely then how He will take sinners in heaven?  One cannot go to heaven by sinning or killing others.  But Jesus came in this world to save us from our sins so that we may enter into heaven.

Many youngsters are attracted toward rock bands that sing violent songs, New Age Movement, Satanism etc.  What is the reason behind it?  Because most of the parents work and they do not have time to see what their kids are doing?  Many kids and youngsters are depressed and suicidal.  They are looking for real peace and joy.  And many end up in these types of wrong groups.  But all these things cannot give them real peace, joy and happiness.  Only Jesus who is the Prince of Peace can give us everlasting peace.

Once I read a true story.  One young man had no peace.  He searched in many places but he could not find any peace.  Finally someone said there is a Church of Satan, go there and worship and you may get peace.  He went there and met with the priest.  Priest told him to cut his one finger and pour blood of his finger at the alter of devil.  He did the same thing.  He did not get any peace but instead he was filled with pain.  Priest said do it again.  He did it again.  But he could no longer bear the pain so he ran away from there screaming.  When he was running on the street, one evangelist saw him and asked what is the matter?  He told everything.  Evangelist told him about Jesus - the Prince of Peace.  He knelt down beside the road and with tears he accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior.  As soon as he did that, he was filled with divine peace. 

Yes, my friend, no one can give you peace but Jesus.  If you accept Him as your Lord and Savior in your life, He will come in and bless you.  If you want this peace, please pray this prayer with me:
