Christian England?



I consider that England has never truly been a Christian country (There is no such thing.)  Not what I mean by Christian.  Instead there have been hierarchical institutions claiming to be Christian but only really interested in having power in the country.  The true Christians have always been and always will be those who trust in Christ alone for their salvation, no matter what they have to suffer from those around them who do not believe. I realise that this country has changed forever and no amount of Brexit will put the clock back to a time I felt more comfortable with.   I am quite comfortable, because I live in a rural situation where we are in a time bubble and have not yet caught up with the rest of the country.
  When I voted for Brexit I was protesting that our country had had its ability to make its own decisions taken away from it.  I do not disagree with immigration, just the fact that we could not control it, and still can’t to this day.  I don’t want to see anyone, except criminals, thrown out of the country.  Immigrants play a vital part in running the much needed services of the country.  I do want refugees to be helped.  I just don’t want the quotas to be decided by Europe.

  Our country has changed forever, but that is a fact of history always.  Whatever sort of Brexit we end up with, and it will probably be a pale reflection of what many hoped for, nothing will ever be the same again; but somehow our children and grandchildren will cope and wonder why Grandma made such a fuss.

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
