Heaven, God, Religion, Christianity or whatever name is acceptable today’s modern society, is confusing. The first level of confusion is about what it is and what it should be called. This is as confusing as trying to decide should I be called colored, black, the unspeakable word or that hyphenated one. Did I feel better the morning I woke up and realized I was no longer that “unspeakable word”? No. Many followers of the scripture touts Prayer is the solution to the world’s problems and on a daily base long boisterous prayer is casted before the throne of God. Yet the world is not getting to be a better place, amidst all of this praying the world situation is getting worst. Storms are raging and murder is on the increase amid wars and rumors of wars. Parents are no longer safe in their homes and children are no longer safe in their schools. The chilling aspect of all of this is many are praying to God to fix these problems, and doesn’t it seem like God is ignoring us? Maybe we ought to ask “why”, rather than pretending God is doing so many special things for us. This act alone has render our faith unbelievable and worship services have taken on the flair of rock concerts. Jesus said, the father cause the sun to shine on the just as well as the unjust. He rains on the just and unjust also. When Jesus was leaving this world going back to his father he said things were going to get worst. His final message was, “if you can endure, I will give you a crown of life.”
