The Good News

  T he only good news that we ought to know and remember is that Jesus Christ had already won the war against sin and death.  He has made it possible for us to join Him in the afterlife.  All we need now to do is accept Him as He is.  God is alive today and it may be sometimes be difficult to see this.  The world and its demonic nature has still made it look like that only worldly things matter and that the ultimate goal of each one is to achieve their own personal happiness.  This is the biggest lie of all, that we should do all to make us happy.

It so happens that I had a chatty driver that night and he seems a pleasant fellow to talk to but I noticed that he got triggered when a couple of Lamborghini's went passed us and as if they were racing illegally as we were driving along one of Sydney's motorways. So after that, our conversation turned a sudden dark turn from being the pleasantries of daily life to the thinning of the middle class to the entitlements of the rich and to what he felt about religion.  In turns out that he was an atheist and he started to convince me about me potentially being naive and being scammed person as I said that I was a believer. As much as I wanted to refute him about his points, I chose not to as I feared that it may not be the safest decision as his driving was a bit affected by the emotions he was expressing about the religious topics he was discussing.  They were n...
