Why?

This is the question of all of us when we heaar of events like those in Cumbria England on Thursday. Why should an ordinary man, a taxi driver, kill his twin brother and several other people by shooting them in the open air as he drove forty five miles in Cumbria. Yes, he had problems with money, but what is at the root of such an event. You see it isn't unique, is it? We had the Hungerford massacre a few years ago and in Scotland the Dunblane tragedy. Also killings like this in the States. It seems to me that anyone is capable of an act like this given the right, or wrong circumstances. We have this dark side to our nature that leaves us open to do horrid things. That's why Jesus came so that we could be rescued from this dark side. But you have to want to be rescued. Do you want to be rescued? For more on the events in CumbriaA thought for each day

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
