Sinning badly as a Christian



Well first of all there are no degrees of sinning, it is all bad. I am writing this to encourage anyone who feels they have well and truly blotted their copy book.  You are not alone. I committed adultery a few years ago, left my husband for another man.  This was sinful, make no mistake, but I repented and God forgave me as He promises He will if we do repent.  That means that God has now forgotten my sin. Hebrews 10:17 “ then he says,19Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no longer.”20
If God has forgotten our sin so should everyone else.  I do not make light of this matter but I rejoice in God’s goodness.  This is why I am so happy, but some people cannot understand my happiness and think I should wear sackcloth and ashes all the time. It is also good to know that all that time when I was away from my family God’s purposes were being brought about.  He has been so good to me and given me back my family.  My first husband and I are good friends and we spend a lot of time with our children and grandchild.

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
