What do I think about X Factor

  We have to keep in mind that X Factor is out there to make money. 
Ultimately to make money out of talented young people and a few older, by training and making them  into what the market wants, people who can sing and look good. By look good they mean look sexy to the nth degree. Of course they also make money from the phone calls when people vote for their favourite starlet, lots of it. These youngsters are coached on how to improve their image and singing and compete against each other.  Several of them will get signed up by record companies.  What do they stand to gain.  Money lots of it; fame lots of it.  Unfortunately they may not be able to cope with this and end up on drugs.  Lasting relationships may also be a problem. To be fair I've had two broken marriages and I didn't need fame to help me!!  Then one day on X Factor there was a magical moment.  Susan Boyle came into our lives.  She didn't look the part but boy could she sing.  Good on you Susan.  I get the impression they are looking after you properly and I hope we can all enjoy more of your beautiful singing for a very long time. But money can't give us everything.  We need God at the centre of our lives then we shall be truly content.  Neither is it good to be an object of worship,  that is to stand in God's place which He will not tolerate.

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
