I would be happy with a few emails or even a text message or two. Like the old joke- “He doesn’t call! He doesn’t write!”

But God DID write and He calls out to the whole world through the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. In talking to unbelievers, I've heard more than once or twice the claim that if Jesus Christ appeared before them, then they would believe. However, Jesus said himself that such unbelief is a symptom of a stubborn and wicked heart and that even if someone were to come back from the dead and appear before them, they STILL would refuse to believe. For those who hang onto their rebellion against God, nothing will really convince them to change their minds. There needs to first be a softening of the heart towards God and a diligent, truthful, humble and repentant spirit that seeks after the truth in order for the light to get through.

So is it Jam yesterday, and jam tomorrow, but never jam today?

All I want is an email. Is that too much for G-d?
