      Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
      Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
      . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
      If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).
      He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
      He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
      He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
      NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER
      If you have any questions let me know

      There come a time
      when we hear a certain call
      which shall set apart our very souls.
      There are people dying,
      and it`s time to receive the greatest gift of all - SALVATION.
      We can`t go on,
      pretending day by day,
      practising the lack of knowledge abut all.
      There`s THE GOD`S creation
      and there is satan kids too,
      and the truth is, Hell is what we deserve!
      We are THE CHURCH,
      we don`t belong here,
      our home is not this fallen place,
      so why we partaking?
      There`s a choice we`re making,
      we`re saving or losing lives,
      it`s true, we make a choice each day,
      you and me.
      GOD send to you HIS hand,
      so you`ll know that someone cares,
      giving you straight and freedom too.
      As CHRIST has shown us,
      how to live a life on earth,
      how to care, how to love, how to live.
      We are THE CHURCH,
      we don`t belong here,
      our home is not this fallen place,
      so why we partaking?
      There`s a choice we`re making,
      we`re saving or losing lives,
      it`s true, we make a choice each day,
      you and me.
      When you`re down and
      out there seems no hope at all,
      but if you just believe,
      there`s a way to live again.
      Well, well, well, well,
      let us realize,
      that a change shall only come,
      when we humble our own souls.
      We are THE CHURCH,
      we don`t belong here,
      our home is not this fallen place,
      so why we partaking?
      There`s a choice we`re making,
      we`re saving or losing lives,
      it`s true, we make a choice each day,

      Yes good save especially as she got to the mic a tad late like half of them when sharing a mic. Bit of a logistical nightmare on stage by the looks.

    Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Bob Dylan, Cher and Keith Richards are among the huge stars on that stage and they allowed Melissa Manchester and Sheena Easton to hog the mic (twice each)?

      who both sucked, quite frankly. And then had the nerve to try to sing with Patti , whose talent was just far above and beyond every last singer there.I think maybe the great Tina Turner declined to get on the mic.
