We are living in a time when, more and more, God is being removed from everything in society in the name of "separation of Church and State". Secularism abounds, and the notion that secular knowledge reigns supreme and that a belief in God is somehow a sign of ignorance is becoming increasingly more popular. Religion and a belief in a Supreme Being are being pushed aside more and more by those who see themselves as supreme and who feel they have no real need for God.
People everywhere are looking for inner peace and happiness, and they can find them nowhere. They search for them in status, money, and material possessions as well as in a variety of questionable (ungodly) lifestyles, but they cannot find them. What they DO find is momentary, fleeting pleasure, perhaps, but the true inner peace and lasting joy that they crave they cannot find, and they never will until they realize that we all are spiritual beings, and the spirit will never find fulfillment in temporal, material things.
Though many may wish to ignore the existence of God and the need for a Savior, ALL of us, no matter who we are nor what we may choose to believe, are most definitely affected by and have a need for the miracles of GETHSEMANE.
