The Bible

If you want to know about God and what He requires in your life and how you should live, you must make the Bible absolutely central to your everyday reading.  There is no where else that can tell you what you need to know.  You cannot afford to listen to someone else's ideas, you need the Bible only.  If you have a good pastor he or she will be feeding the word to you, but you still need to search the sciptures to make sure he has got it right.  You must not be a lazy christian depending on some else, having a second hand faith. You must energetically search the sciptures for yourself.  The Holy Spirit will help you if you ask. You must also been prepared to have dearly held views challenged.  The Bible is no ordinary book, if you approach it sincerely it will change your life and that may be painful. Often our lives need drastic measures to bring us into the light. But it will be worth it.

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
