Open the Book

So what does this title mean? If you said it to children in many places in Britain they would tell you it is all about watching 15 minute playlets of Bible stories and it is great fun. Actually it is also great fun for the adults putting on the plays. I belong to a group which takes turn presenting these with another group doing the alternate weeks. We have only been doing it since May and have borrowed costumes and props from a completely different group in another village. Fortunately we have a handyman amongst us and he is collecting together various bits and pieces, swords and bows and arrows etc. I'm not sure who are benefitting the most, the children or the adults.
Open the Book is designed to fit in with the school curriculum. It is a chance to bring back much of the Christian heritage lost to our children over the last few years.i played Saul today and enjoyed being thoroughly bad-tempered and miserable. It's good to get back to having a smile on my face.

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
