No Hope

“We do not want you to be unaware...like those who have no hope.” 1 Thessalonians 4:13



We live in difficult, broken, even dark times. Many are hopeless, and in despair. Many do not know right from wrong. Many do not value the truth anymore. And what is so scary is that many do not deem human life sacred. People abroad who speak vehemently against extra judicial killings here in the Philippines, accept abortion as a right of women! Violence does not galvanize outrage. What is going to happen to our country if we continue like this? 

The thing is, if we do not think rightly, if we do not value truth, we can be lulled into accepting lies the enemy spreads, and we can find ourselves too deep in mud to save ourselves. 

St. Peter said, “In your hearts revere Jesus as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give reason for the hope that you have.” (1 Peter 3:15) We need to be able to think clearly and rightly. Morally. We need to study God’s Word if we are to have a basis for hope.
