What does church mean to you?

The main important thing about church is that christians are meeting together to consider the Bible. That is what really counts.  The more rituals take place in a church the less people are focusing on the the only book that can tell us what we need to know.If you are going to church to gain brownie points( notch up points to get you nearer to God.)  Going to as many meetings as you can to be in God's favour.  Think again.  There is absolutely nothing you can do to get into God's favour.  You can't give Him anything because all that you have is already His.  Yes that handsome amount of money in the collection plate is His already.  Your very life belongs to Him, your strength and therefore what you earn.  All these attempts to get nearer to God on your own terms are not only a waste of time, they are a huge insult to him.  God has decreed the only way back to Him and that is through trusting in Jesus alone.  So stop being stupid,TRUST IN 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
