People seem to pick the wrong solutions to ease their pains. With suicide you don’t escape your problems, you create new problems. The person died committing self-murder, and after death there is no repentance (John 8:21; Galatians 5:21).

Many turn to booze to ease their pain but that doesn’t help. After recovering from the hangover, the problem is still there and probably will be worse because of the drinking (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Isaiah 5:11; Proverbs 23:29-35, 20:1).

Many turn to selling drugs and prostitution, hoping to escape their poverty. Drugs are the scum of neighborhoods, and it is sinful to use them (Romans 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-17; Rom. 13:11-14). A woman selling her body is fornication, and that person will be condemned on the Judgment Day (Prov. 6:23-35; 1 Cor. 6:15-20).

The way to deal with our problems is to commit our lives to God, so He can give us peace (Matthew 11:28-30; John 14:6, 6:45).

Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.
