Very sad. Surely this should make we who have the gospel desire even more fervently to take this message of life to those who are dying in their sin.

Death is not simply an economic problem that is solved by extra funds being plowed into the economy. Nor is depression so wholly emotional that a 'minimum level of happiness' can be achieved by using the right techniques in psychotherapy.

Death is unnatural to the immortal soul. There is no rest or peace in death, if when living, life was not lived to the full, that is, life knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour; an intimate, personal and joyful relationship with God for which we were created and so find fulfillment in.

Economic structures and awareness campaigns neither bring life nor the desire to live. Only the life-giver, Jesus Christ, can give that.

Romans 10:14,15
How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!'
