Well God is good and He may well use Towards Belief to bring
someone to himself. But it seems to me
that the series is flawed, if the first one is anything to go by. What men think seems to be the important
thing and highly educated men at that.
In the episode on suffering the Bible was not mentioned until right at
the end when Job was briefly alluded to. We should not be starting where the
unbeliever is, but declaring what God has said.
Tonight we are looking at the Bible.
No doubt we will start from the parts people find difficult to
believe. Of course they have this
trouble. It is only possible to accept
the Bible if we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. I wait with interest to
see what this evening’s DVD and discussion time will bring and no doubt I will
tell you all about it. Last week we had
only people with strong church connections.
I will be the first to rejoice along with the angels in heaven, if
anyone finds Jesus in these meetings. Putting these courses on is well
intentioned I know but we seem to have put the cart before the horse. “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the
word of God.” Romans 10 verse 17. We must preach the word not pick over it to
choose the bits we can accept. The Bible
is a whole and if you reject one part you will soon find that affects another
part and you will soon end up with a very slim volume indeed. Put your trust in
Jesus and you will soon begin to trust His word, the Bible.
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.
