Go Go Go

We are in Varanasi.. at the Ganges river. We arrived after a night-train yesterday morning. The moment these famed hindu waters came into sight, I started to weep. I've been longing to be here for a long, long time. This morning we were up at 5am to catch an early boat trip before daylight... we drifted for two hours... watching people come out and worship the rising sun, bathe in the "holy" water, wash clothes, meditate, dip and splash, feed the fish for good carma. They believe the waters absorb everything unclean. The river is especially famous for receiving the dead and sending them to heaven's eternity... or so they think. Only by dying here can you finally end the reincarnation process.. so the old come from all over India and beyond to die in Varanasi. I saw two cremation areas today. They are totally open, visible to all... with burning fires 24 hours a day. A corpse was set aflame just 3 feet infront of me. Can you understand?? People are seeking and performing and seeking and performing... just to fight their way into another hopefully better life, or to get out of this world to the divine.........but they don't know Jesus! HE is the only way to Father God, to life, to eternity, to hope, to love, to freedom. There are 5 kinds of people that can't be cremated including pregnant women, children, holy men, some diseased... they have rocks tied to them and are tossed directly in the water when they die.

Can you hear the cries of the lost? Can you see in your heart the spiritual darkness the unreached live in day after day???

GO GO GO give them the truth of Jesus Christ!! No works, no religion... just love, freedom, life!
