Rowlands and Joe Cannons. You can't ask for better company than these good old boys. 8. Ongoing Leadership Since taking my place as the minister at PP in 1967, I have taken the task of leadership building at heart. The rule of thumb is that all members must serve willingly - there is never any compulsion. I am thrilled that we have developed a leadership (who comes up and takes charge and to whom I am accountable to) who works well with a score of devoted Care Team Coordinators. If the Lord should take me today, Vision 2000 will continue on course because of the open ongoing leadership. 102
When You Suffer... PRECIOUS SOUL, In Your moment of Grief.... As you now grieve through the loss of a loved one, this message comes to you specially to bring understanding, sunshine and assistance in this dark hour of loss. If there is a God, why does He allow pain, suffering or death? This may perhaps be your first question. The Bible teaches that every good and perfect gift comes from God (James 1.17). He does not bring us suffering or pain. Very often this is the result of man's own foolishness, sinfulness or ignorance. But why does He allow it? To be sure, God can wipe away all tears and take away all sorrows if He so desires. He can prevent the devil from continuing in his evil ways. But suppose He did exactly that - what then? The earth would be different overnight. No suffering or pain! Just imagine two boxers in a ring, fighting and punishing one another without stopping because neither could feel pain. Imagine also a baby banging his head against the wall because he feels no pain. The fact is, without pain we cannot accurately distinguish between good and harmful actions. And while our internal organs bleed and break, we would go on our merry way feeling no pain. Yes, most assuredly, God has His purpose in allowing suffering and pain in this world. It acts as a warning that something is not right. When we suffer, it causes us to stop and think of our careless actions and its consequences, something we otherwise might not do if we felt no pain. Most of all, it helps us to feel and truly realise our own inadequacy and to return to our Creator for assistance and strength. As you go through your grief, use this vital time to examine yourself. Ask if you have been mindful of God in your life. Examine the purpose and direction your life is heading. Lay your life open before God. Cast out every dead weight. Pray like King David of old for God to search your heart. Use this situation to rededicate yourself totally and seek strength from the Fountain Source at times like these. 103
