What or whom do we need saving from?

And so we continue looking at what salvation is.  We learned last time that sin is inherited from our ever so many great grandparents.  We also learned that the wages of sin is death.  Who is it that will bring up the question of our sin and mete out the wages? It is God Himself .  God demands that we should obey Him, that we should love Him with all our hearts and we fail miserably.  This is not some wicked tyrant but the holy righteous and perfect One who is our Maker.He deserves our love and is totally worthy of all our worship.  Think of the worship you give to your pop idol or sport's personality.  You don't even give God Almighty a little part of that. We all deserve God's wrath to come upon us.  None of us deserves anything else and yet God Himself has provided a way for us to be totally forgiven and brought back into fellowship with Him if we will come in the way He has provided. More tomorrow.

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.

Section A

I've posted off my work for section A. Now to get on with B. Onward and upward as they say. It does feel good to have completed A, progress is being made.I think my tutor is more nervous than I as to the outcome, but then I am his first student. We are learning from each other.But then that should always be the case. It's an adventure we go on together.The course seems to be suiting me alright but I feel there are a lot of potentially excellent local preachers out there who are put off by the study. Something should be devised to include these good people, we can ill afford to do without them, especially as the numbers of ministers is dropping. What did Wesley do? You don't need a degree, or even A levels to preach. You need a call, and a close relationship with God.
