If a person is dead not one prayer or sermon at a funeral is going to help or change what the life was (Job 7:6–10; Ecclesiastes 9:4–10; Eccl. 11:3; John 8:21). After Halloween each year the day of the dead is remembered by some and there are parades and other celebrations. As it has been said, that matters not—because dead means dead and afterward the next stop will be the Judgment bar (Hebrews 9:27). Many people ask for prayers for those who have died, but such prayers are vain because prayers are to be offered for the living (1 Timothy 2:1–2, Matthew 5:44, John 17:9, James 5:16, 1 Samuel 12:23; Philemon 4).

Matthew 5:28 teaches that whosoever looks on a woman in order to lust after her has committed adultery in the heart. This is bad news no matter how you slice it. Adultery in the heart is just as bad as adultery with the whole body, for both will send you to Hell (1 Corinthians 6:6–10). In order to avoid lust, don't think about it or place yourself in a position where you will give in to it. Start focusing on good things that are positive and can be shared with others.

One of the worst things about human beings as they age is they get set in their ways. This behavior is that of stubbornness, having the closed mind attitude of, "I know it all, so no one can tell me anything," etc. It doesn't matter if one is 27-years-old, or 95-years-old, no one knows everything, and anyone regardless of age can always do betterbecause there is always room for improvement (1 Corinthians 8:2; Proverbs 20:9; Luke 1:80; Matthew 5:48; Luke 2:52; Colossians 2:2–7).

When things are presented to us, we should at least hear what the other person is saying and consider the kind of information that has been placed before us (Matthew 23:3; Mark 4:9; Acts 15:4–6). After hearing the person out, we can then decide if that person is speaking what is true, and if so, we should be willing to acknowledge that we aren't above learning new things and we should change (Acts 17:11). On the other hand, if we listen to the person and find they are wrong, we need to refute the misleading information (Revelation 2:2; Acts 19:13–20).

So remember, the person who can't see the warning is usually the one who is in danger (Proverbs 22:3, Ezekiel 3:16–21; Romans 11:8–10; 2 Corinthians 4:3–4; 1 Corinthians 1:18–21).

In the Old Testament we read of generations that grew up and knew nothing about the Lord God of Israel (Judges 2:10). The tragedy occurred because the older generation forgot God and served idols and their offspring knew nothing but that way of evil (Psalms 106:6–48; Judges 3:7–8). We have the same problem today because this nation has gone far from the things of God; that is very evident by the attitude of disrespect that is held toward the Bible which is the word of God.

There is a school district in the York area where there is a debate going on concerning evolution and creationism. The Bible plainly said that "God created all things, and He saw that it was all good," (Genesis 1:31). This statement isn't accepted because men don't believe it; they say such a thing cannot be. Therefore the children will not be taught how God with His great power formed all things and gave us all that we have today. Instead, they will be taught that there is no Supreme Being, and that all things happen by chance evolving though the centuries, and that man came from lower life forms. If you are a parent, it is best that you teach your children about God at home, and I mean train them well. Tell them that they will face the challenge in school of being told there is no God and that evolution is the way to go. The better our children are informed, the better they will be able to know what is error and what is truth (John 8:31–32; John 7:17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; Exodus 20:11; Psalm 14:1).
