Have you ever wondered if God is really there; if He is really listening to you when you pour out your heart to Him in prayer?

Has it ever gotten to the point that it seemed like He wasn’t there, or like He just didn’t even care?

Have you ever found yourself asking that question – “Where are you, God?” – desperately wanting to hear His gentle voice whisper, “Don’t worry; I’m right here”?

If you have ever experienced the loneliness of not feeling God’s presence – of not being able to find Him, or feel Him, or sense His closeness – you are not alone.

Is Human Life Holy?

[PART 2 OF 6]

What exactly do we mean when we talk about the “sanctity of human life”? Is that even a valid concept?

Princeton University’s online WordNet dictionary defines sanctity as “the quality of being holy”. Holy is defined as “belonging to or derived from or associated with a divine power”.

So the question arises, “Is human life holy?” Does human life belong to, or is it derived from or associated with, a divine power?
