An Insight on “Platinum End”a new story from the creators of “Death Note” (repost)
If anyone is reading my blog and waiting on something new, I dearly apologize for not posting lately. I’m currently working on two overlapping series, etc. and its quite a handful. But here now I want to repost this article I recently read. If you’re one like me who is curious to see the new series from the creators of Death note, Platinum End, and you are a believer in Christ, or in another case, if you’re thinking of suicide, heres a beautiful insight from Beneath the tangles blog site.
Some quotes:
“Strange though it may sound, hedonism and Christianity go hand-in-hand to an extent. Christianity is about seeking and finding joy but acknowledges that this quest is ultimately about desiring God, rather than simply pursuing pleasure for its own sake. We put our hope in God because we trust that He has the power to make good on His promises to sustain our joy. Nothing else, no matter how well-meaning, has that ability: people will disappoint us and/or eventually leave our lives, memories will fade, bodies will atrophy, and possessions will deteriorate. Only eternal things endure, and those things are few and far between—human souls and God, among them.”
“Don’t suppose that you have nothing left to live for. Don’t suppose that things won’t get better. Don’t suppose that you can’t beat this. You don’t know what tomorrow holds (Matthew 6:34). With God, all things are possible (Matthew 16:26). We can do all things through Christ who strengths us (Philippians 4:13). We are conquerors and overcomers—soldiers in His spiritual army (Romans 8:37). It’s not an easy fight. We’re not told to put on togas or monkish habits, but to put on armor (Ephesians 6:10-18). That doesn’t mean we’re not allowed to stumble, fall, bleed, cry, and question God. David did all five, on an almost daily basis, yet God considered him a man after His own heart.
Don’t give up. God’s not giving up on you.”
I have yet to start reading Platinum End. Thanks to my bulk right now, it is not permissible. They say it’s controversial and Im up to it for study. Anyway, anyway, what can I say? Dark stories like this actually perk me up to keep working to get my series out. Sorry it sounds like Im “plugging” again. Just wait for it nalang. Haha.
