Be Positive

We know that we have an enemy, but don't major on his power.  What is his power?  It is only what he is permitted to have.  He cannot go any further than God allows.  No always think about the power of the Lord Jesus who has died to save all who believe.  That power is immense, incredibly strong.  That power can never be conquered.  "I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes." The good news that Jesus died for us is wonderful and it is the power of God working to save us.  You cannot get any more powerful than the power of God.  This means we are safe in Jesus no matter what the world and the devil can throw at us.  Yes we are small and frightened often, but we can never be lost if we trust in Jesus.  Nothing can finally defeat us!Read the beginning and ending of the book of Job to see a believing soul being brought through awful problems but still hanging on to his belief in God.  If he could do it before Jesus came, surely we can persevere knowing our precious Lord will never leave us and that once we arrive in heaven the troubles of this life will be like a pin prick left behind.

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...

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.

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.
