Terracotta Army






A couple of nights’ ago I watched a programme on T.V. about the terracotta army discovered some time ago in China.  Each soldier is amazing and individually crafted.  One man was measuring their ears to see how unique each one is, just as if they were portraits of different people, and I guess that is so.  They were buried with weapons which proved to be excellent and accurate.  The commentator said they were, “well ahead of their time.” Often when speaking of “primitive” peoples there is amazement at their technology.  We do not know how Stonehenge could possibly have been positioned as it is.  We marvel at the precision of the pyramids.  Why is it that we are amazed at these things?  If we read our Bibles we see that Adam and Eve were created perfect and this would have included their intellect.  They were far more clever than anyone on earth today and it was only after the fall when they rebelled against God that everything about them began gradually to decline.  Evolutionists tell us that we are becoming more and more clever, having come from nothing.  The truth is, from the beginning man was more intelligent than we are and everything is now going downhill as we race toward eternity. What pride we have in our achievements and yet there has been no solution to war, crime, poverty or famine.  We can flood the Earth with gadgets and fill papers with so called science which is mostly just the product of imagination.  We are failures.  There is a certain solution, to turn back to God whom Adam and Eve rebelled against, and find His salvation in Jesus Christ.

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
