Cancer...The search for a cure continues

Medical research concentrates heavily on a cure for cancer. One of the existing methods is to destroy the bad cells and to try to destroy as few good cells as possible in the process. It seems that the progress of the disease can on occasions be halted but it can never be guaranteed not to return, always an uncertainty.


The experience of many who are diagnosed with this illness is a continual hope that a cure will be found or that the disease can be treated successfully. Yet a possibility also exists that the disease may be what ends their life.

In remission.

A phrase often used for relief from the symptoms of the disease or a reduction in its severity- it is there but no longer felt.

The principle of sin in our lives is often keenly felt, but at other times our reaction to it is absent so that we, like the leper who has no sense of feeling, can commit sin without feeling grieved and may even be unaware that we have sinned.

“But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” Isaiah 59:2

Death is “growing inside us” we have to be prepared.

“For all flesh is as grass; and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth the flower thereof falleth away: but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever.” 1st Peter 1: 24,25.

All of us will die from one cause or another. Why must we die? Why do we die? What would happen if we lived for ever as we are? What happens after we die?

If we were to search philosophy and human “wisdom” we find more questions than answers “professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” Romans 1 verse 22.

If physical death were the finish of things there would be no justice served upon evil doers and no compensation for those wronged.

"And it is appointed unto men once to die but after this the judgment" Hebrews 9 verse 27.

If we were to leave our discussion at that all would be condemned and cast from the presence of God.

Thankfully the next verse talks of how we can obtain forgiveness.

"So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many..." Hebrews 9 verse 28 (first part).

Isaiah 53

From the Authorized Version of the Bible, Isaiah Chapter 53: Who hath believed our report? and to Whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For He shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not his mouth: He is brought as a lamb to th...

Which religion is right?

When pressed on this point many say there’s a little bit of truth in every religion and there are as many paths to God as there are people. If this is so we are all free to follow any religion we like and even make one of our own if that appeals to us. Perfect freedom to express and do what we like as long as we are not hurting other people. It sounds like a good principle after all it’s always other people that are in the wrong and the world would be a better place if everybody was like us. There is a way which seemeth right to unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 14:12. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 16:25. The Lord Jesus Christ speaks of Himself as the Way, the Truth and the Life. John 14:6. The warning is repeated in the book of Proverbs. There are many ways that lead to death but only one Way that leads to Eternal Life. So the answer is not found in religion and an endless search for “m...
