Searching for hope in a bleak world
November 16, 2011
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
1 Peter 1:3
Jean-Paul Sartre, the French existentialist, said, “There is no exit from the human dilemma.” And really, that quote aptly summarizes the utter pessimism and hopelessness that’s so prevalent today.
Not long ago, some college students were asked to define life. And they described life as “a joke that isn’t even funny,” and “a prison sentence for the crime of being born.”
There’s such great despair because people are hopeless today. In fact, the second leading cause of death among teenagers after automobile accidents is suicide. Young people in the prime of life feel so utterly helpless and hopeless that they’re taking their own lives.
When you look at statistics like that, your first question has to be, “Why?” Well, I’ll tell you why. It’s because the world today is telling our young people over and over again that there is no God, and then they’re shocked when they start acting like it!
But for the faithful, there is hope. You and I have hope that Jesus Christ will one day return and make everything right that is now wrong. But until that day, make it your life’s mission to share that hope with others!
AS BLEAK AS THE WORLD MAY SEEM AT TIMES, REMEMBER YOUR ETERNAL HOPE IN JESUS CHRIST AND SHARE IT WITH OTHERS!

Discover God’s plan for these last days!
Dear Friend,
When it comes to thinking about the end times, so many questions come to mind: What are the signs of Christ’s coming? What’s God’s plan for me in these days? Does the nation of Israel play a role?
And while these questions can seem daunting, it’s such comfort to know that God has given you and me everything we need to know right in His Word.
So to help you better understand God’s plan for the last days, I want to send you a special end-times ministry combo pack containing my brand new three-message DVD series filmed in Israel called Israel 2011, along with my ten-message CD series called Signs of the Times.
In Israel 2011, I’ll take you right to where Christ’s greatest miracles took place: the empty tomb, the Sea of Galilee, and the Mount of Olives, where you’ll learn about the eternal importance of this ancient land. And in Signs of the Times, I’ll show you how you can know God’s purpose for you in these uncertain days!
This special end-times combo pack is my gift to thank you for your online donation to support the broadcast ministry of PowerPoint. It’s my prayer that these two powerful resources will help you step into the future with confidence and clarity!
And thank you for your gift to impact more lives with the Good News of Jesus Christ. You are truly a blessing!
