Exodus 20:20 I remember buying our first leather lounge suite some years ago. We had waited for this occasion for a long time as we saved our money for this luxury. When we finally bought it and placed it in our lounge area we treated it with the utmost care. The last thing we wantedContinue reading “Awe Full”

Saved
Matthew 1:21 Some think Jesus was simply a good teacher, others know him as a prophet, some would say he was some sort of magician, others don’t think he existed at all. Most don’t realise that the evidence from inside and outside of the Bible unavoidably points to him being who he said he is.Continue reading “Saved”
Feeling far from God
2 Chronicles 7:14 There may be times in our life where we feel we are far from God. Perhaps this is because we have ignored him, turned away from him or simply not believed in him. Then some hardship or crisis comes along and we call out to him to save us and at leastContinue reading “Feeling far from God”
Natural instincts
Galatians 6:7-8 If we are honest with ourselves, we will observe that our natural instinct is to follow our natural instincts. Think about it for a moment. If you followed through on your first response to feelings of anger, sexual attraction and need for money what would your life look like? It would probably beContinue reading “Natural instincts”

One of the questions that people ask is “How could a loving God send people to hell?” This can be asked in a genuinely concerned way or as a way of justifying someone’s unbelief. This famous verse (John 3:16) which is often quoted by Christians and often seen on signs and placards helps to answerContinue reading “Who is sending who?”

The song describes how, unlike any other religion, that even though the gap between us and God is unachievable He took it on Himself to bridge that gap through Jesus. God knew thatContinue reading “Best news ever”
Getting rid of evil
Many religious people, from any religion, take it upon themselves to try and rid the world of evil. This often ends up in violence and hatred as so called good and evil people clash. Some call it justice while others call it cleansing. Those who associate with ‘good’ justify their actions by claiming to beContinue reading “Getting rid of evil”
Far from perfect.
If we are honest with ourselves we would admit that we really are not perfect. Well I know I am not perfect, in fact far from it. We can fall into the trap of thinking that we are on balance a good person. This presumes that good and evil are evenly balanced either side ofContinue reading “Far from perfect.”
The power of dark secrets
Dark secrets have the power to control our life and make us into people we don’t want to be. They captivate our imagination and we play out worst case scenarios in our mind leading us into patterns of thought that are unhealthy but make sense to us. So we cover them up by burying themContinue reading “The power of dark secrets”
Shifting priorities
We all make time for what is important to us. When we say yes to something it means we are saying no to something else. Through our life our priorities change and what was important once upon a time is no longer as valuable to us. This change can be positive or negative depending onContinue reading “Shifting priorities”
