“Spirits in the material world” sang The Police

There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution

We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it’s the rhetoric of failure

We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it’s something we can’t buy
There must be another way

We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

The Police

My Pondering

Yes indeed. We are spirits in the material world.

I am soul with a body. Souls are for forever. The question, actually 4, is why, who, where and how?

1. Why do you want, or not, to go there?

2. Who are you? More so, whose are you?

3. Where is there?

4. How do you get from here to there?

My answers

My answers may or may not be the same as yours but I hope you find some truth and value to them.

1. Why?

The BIG WHY is critical. Why? Being that we are spiritual, why did God create us in His image? The Bible tells us to have a relationship while magnifying His glory.

2. Who – Whose?

For me, it goes like this. My five-fold roles of my hand.

My #1 is being a Christian, a devout follower and believer of Jesus Christ. That’s keeping the main thing the main thing because He is the main One, the only One. Jesus is whose I am.

3. Where?

Where is where God is. Heaven is where. Once we pass through this fallen material portal, we will have arrived to our eternal destiny of paradise IF we are His own or the Holy Scriptures share that there is the other place where no one wants to go let alone stay forever and ever.

4. How?

Not by works, not by being better than the next guy or gal, not by ignoring the Bible, not by your birthright, parents or any thing short of Jesus.

Jesus is the how and the way! The good news of the gospel.

Yeah, we are spirit people in the material word. Now let’s make the most of it!
