Why Another View?

I was listening to a religious radio show host.   I really like some of the things he says even if I don’t agree with them all.  As I was listening one day, he was discussing with his audience the topic of euthanasia.  He said that a popular television show (which everyone knows) posed the question of whether or not we have a right to let someone die by injection, known as active euthanasia.  The four or five women on the show brought the topic to the roundtable discussion.  The result of this, according to the radio host, was that most were in favor of euthanasia. The doctor who spearheaded the modern euthanasia movement will go unnamed.  He is known as Doctor Death.

Not at first but within about fifteen minutes or so, this really started to bother me.   The more I thought about it and the more I talked about it to God, the more I got upset.  I was sickened in my stomach to think that millions of individuals are literally taking to heart what these few women said on national television. Some people then use the information as their basis for what they believe, because, after all, aren’t they listening to the voices of “intelligent” and “informed” individuals?  I don’t feel this way about it and I know others don’t either.   But we don’t hear two or three sides to this issue; we are only hearing one viewpoint and in America, this needs to cease.   I believe that you should give people another choice or another view and let them decide, but who is out there doing that? In this particular show, if there is a disagreement, yelling ensues and tempers flare.  Some folks regard well-known celebrities as possessing great knowledge and their opinions are highly regarded.  It is time for a change.   

So “Another View” was birthed, so to speak, because of a radio show that featured proponents of the right-to-die argument. As far as I know, nothing was ever said about souls.  Nothing was said about making certain they are saved so they wouldn’t go to hell. Nothing was ever said about divine healing.  Nothing was ever said about God’s will being administered through a person having “reaped what they have sown” in the earth.  No divine perspective was given.  We are supposed to be “one nation under God” aren’t we?

But what this conversation did was push me to want to give to others “Another View” on our daily lives.  I want to bring God into the situation.  I want others to discover what I have discovered about how God thinks about life and the trials we face based on biblical fact.   I am tired of people being misled. 

“Another View” attempts to put the choices before others and then let them decide.  We need to open up our hearts to God’s view on issues, not just man’s view on issues.  We all have choices to make but from what I am seeing and hearing, we are mainly making them from our human viewpoint and reasoning, not heaven’s viewpoint and reasoning.  Quite frankly, I don’t think we know there is another option.   “Another View” wants to be the unheard voice on current issues.   This change needs to come forth in order to obtain true victory.  Even if we are just “seekers,” the truth is what sets a man free and the truth needs to be given and brought to the forefront of this life.  There are always two sides that need to be given.

We have filmed many episodes on various topics but will endeavor in the future to bring more real life issues to the forefront in order to give you “Another View.”
