Read MoreHow sure are you that you’ll go to heaven? And what are you relying on to qualify you? Lots of people think you get to heaven by being good (and they either believe they’re good enough, or have their doubts). Others are confident they’ll get there because they trust in Jesus’ sacrifice for their sins. But when someone asked Jesus what they must do to inherit eternal life, he gave neither of those answers.

When we see suffering in the world (either victims of natural disasters or victims someone else's evil) it raises all kinds of theological questions for us. Where is God in all that? Is there any link between people's suffering and their sin? Is God giving them what they deserve? What about "innocent" people who suffer? Jesus responds to questions about sin and suffering by issuing two serious warnings to us about our sin and our potential suffering: Repent or Perish. Bear fruit or be cut down.
Have YOU repented yet? Are YOU bearing fruit?
Instead of living greedy and anxious lives, Jesus calls us to seek God's kingdom first, to be generous with our treasure, and to trust Him to supply our needs.

If you work hard and earn enough money you can live the lifestyle you want, and then you can spend the kids inheritance on a long and enjoyable retirement (travelling, kicking back, eating good food, drinking nice wine and indulging your hobbies). But Jesus says "If you think that's what life's about, you're a fool."
So what's 'foolish' about living the good life? And what does Jesus say is the wiser way to go?
Some people say they'd believe in God if He'd just show them a sign. How does Jesus respond to that?
