A very interesting message. Most of the time people discuss peace and comfort in church. I don't recall the last time I've heard someone unveiling the topic of rest. Though, I think that one of the remarks was misleading. About the society that hasn't believed in consequences for their doings. I don't know if they have used that belief to justify the reason for their behavior. I remember in college for one of the classes we have studied a use case of two Asian countries. One has used a death sentence as penalty and another hasn't. And there was no evidence suggesting that presence or absence of death penalty was affecting the number of crimes. And from religious perspective, I currently live in a country where the total population of people who belong to religious organizations is very very small. Nevertheless, the society doesn't have inclinations towards violence or anything like that. The reason I commented was because I find sometimes uncomfortable to hear on Sunday School that some teachers draw a line between members and non-members. Suggesting that if people are not in church they develop bad habits and bad behaviors. I have met many people who were raised in good families, and who grew up in healthy communities. They are capable of showing a great amount of respect, support, and sacrifice. And they know how to control themselves in various situations. I don't know if the belief in the afterlife or eternal consequences determine someone's behavior. Just saying. But I'm open to hear new ideas and observations.
Loved this episode! Great thoughts! Thank you!❤
Thank you, Sister Eckersley.
I run, too. I completely understand your analogy!
