People need people




Just get off your phone, tablet, PC whatever and experience the wonder of talking one to one with another human being.  On the internet there is no eye contact, no body language, no really great immediate interaction.  The words on the page cannot tell you what the other person is really like.  It is so easy to read the wrong tone of voice on the internet.  You can think someone is angry with you when they are not.  You can think someone agrees with you, when they do not.  You need real live interaction.  So meet up with a friend and experience the joy of conversation.  Meet with several friends and really chew the fat.  When you talk with others it helps you to understand life and put things into perspective.  You might feel you don’t need this, but think about the others who are missing out on your viewpoint

  If you are a Christian you need to speak with other Christians and see if you have the right thoughts about your faith.  Don’t just listen to the Pastor only, that’s the lazy way to do things.  We all need to think through our beliefs and work at getting closer to Jesus. Talking with other Christians can be the highlight of the week.

How do you cope with depression?

There are two main types of depression, reactive, which is a reaction to your circumstances and endogenous, which is a part of your makeup and not entirely affected by your circumstances. I get the second type. When I am depressed I like to sleep a lot, this is probably not a good thing as depression can lift if you do not have extra sleep. It is all very well knowing that , but acting upon it is another thing. Exercise is also beneficial. Some sorts of depression can be lifted by taking these measures, but some people need medication. You need to get to know your doctor and develope a relationship with him/her where you feel you can trust their judgement. Do look for help as there are lots of possibilities out there. It is not good to spend long stretches of time on your own. Talking with other people will often help lift your spirits, especially if they are people who have gone through this experience themselves. Maybe you need to join a self help group. Avoid people who tell...

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.

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.
