Why do so many marriages fail

For those of you interested my sermon is coming along fine. So I have time to spend a little time with you out there in the big wide world. Isn't it amazing that a little lady from Devon, England who has only left this island once, to visit Southern Ireland, is now in a position to address the world with the thoughts gleaned over 63 years. You may be reading in Japan or the Philippines, or Australia, or America and a thousand other places. Wow what a responsibility that is. I'm not here to give you light chit-chat I'm here to tell you about Jesus. If you don't want to hear then go away. If you are troubled in your heart you will want to hear. Jesus is the answer to your heart's longings. Do you know why so many marriages fail(mine included)? It's because we expect our partners to fulfill all our dreams, we expect them to be all that we ever wanted. They can't deliver, they are human and our hearts are longing after God, only he in Jesus can give us all that we long for. So get to know Jesus and perhaps you can save your marriage.You need to read the Bible to get to know about him, but to know him you have to put aside time to be on your own alone with him. Talk to him, he's there. This is called prayer. If you want to see how I pray go to this link

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
