So easy to get things wrong

Yesterday I had my first proper Russian lesson, face to face with a teacher.  Previous to that I have been learning on the internet.  I discovered that although I had been working very hard at learning for nearly a  year now, there were many times when I had simply not got the pronunciation right.  The problem is that some letters we don't know in English, but more confusing some letters look like ours and are pronounced differently.  No matter how hard you try it is difficult to get it right,  but when you have a teacher they can correct you and put you on the right road.
  In all sorts of things in life it is likely that we will get the wrong message and go astray.  We need a teacher to help us.  There are many charlatans out there who would lead us further astray.  There is only one we can trust and that is Jesus.  To find out about Him we need to read our Bibles and find someone we can trust to help us understand it, but mostly to trust only Jesus.

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
