The Life Worth Living (8 of 10)
James Merritt
Philippians 4:4-7
Introduction
1. Many people ask is life really worth living? More and more people are beginning to answer that question with a resounding no. There are more suicides in America than there are murders. M\ore people are killing themselves than are killing others. Psychiatrists tell us that there are at least 12 million people in America who are in such deep depression they have lost all desire to live.

4. What a tragedy. Jesus said in john 10:10, ''I have come that you fright have life and have it more abundantly.'' now I am speaking on the life worth living. For not just any life is-worth living the only life worth living is the life lived in through for and by t ...
