I agree with what you say. All we can do is warn. Also quietly ask what business the living could ever have with the dead? They are gone and have no part in our lives. Which is I hope what the Bible advises, though I forget the exact verses

Not long and not much more from what I see. These feel like the last days to me.

A very good question. David Attenborough is such an excellent man who certainly has contributed significantly to our understanding and preservation of nature and our planet. Who could fail to think well of him. I feel disappointed for his sake that he is not a Christian. At least I don't think...

As a Christian I warn friends and acquaintences whenever I can not to go to see these kinds of people. Yet some will not listen, they are fascinated by spiritual stuff and think it is harmless fun. Yet it is not. I've heard of frightening stories from some who used Ouija boards or went to...

Mark 1, Ch 10. 'the spirit descending like a dove upon him'. The baptism of Jesus by John. What a great moment. If it was so important for Jesus, it should be for us. When you were baptised, was it the greatest moment of your life and who came to witness it? Was it full immersion and did you...

In 1Samuel, chapter 1. Verse 21 to 28, Hannah gives her son to the temple to live there always. She had yearned for a son but now she gave him up. So where was the benefit to her? He would not presumably contribute to her life, have a life and marriage of his own or take care of his parents in...

So why waste time on people who most certainly are not friends. I now nurture only those who are known to me, family and close friends. At the very least I make sure we have interests in common. It is important to whom we allow access to our lives?

It is an intriguing relationship. Only 6 months apart in age, cousins. They would certainly have met during childhood though they lived many miles apart. There was great respect between them, borne by the fact that John told everyone that Jesus was the great one and Jesus chose to be baptized by...

Hi, I do understand your feelings. However, not one of us is sinless. So in prayer I ask daily for forgiveness and help to bring forgiving. Then I ask for strength for today. This brings me peace no matter what else is going on.

Thinking about the definition of what a friend is, why do many people have so many Facebook friends? It seems ridiculous over a certain number. If someone has for example over 500 friends, it is time to question what they are aiming for. I deliberately nurture a small number of trusted...

Whatever seems reasonable and natural. I do ironing, cooking and lighter jobs better, my husband tackles heavier things like vacuuming, mowing the garden. I find that giving him a list of no more than two or three things to help with in his own time, works far better than nagging. Also...

To put each other first and be patient.

It is not a good idea. Unless you want to turn them away from God. Of course it has happened too often.

This brings a further thought. Are we to deduce that there is therefore substance to astrology, meanings attached to the position of the stars? The wise men made a long journey after all.

This is an important point. What about those who have not heard the gospels? Only God can decide our eternity. Yet those who have heard the gospels, who know about the Bible but refuse deliberately to accept Christ are the ones who may have problems at their death. We each face God in the end.

Referring to Matthew Ch 2, about wise men. Who could they have been and what scripture could they have read with this prophecy and what relevant interest was it to them? It is not specified that there were three, nor are we told if they were Jews. They wanted to worship this child. Would...

I think it means dead in spirit? Yet walking around on earth as if alive. I cannot see how once we are physically dead, we could be saved. There would be no urgency in case. Yet we know time is short, because the life of man is brief.

I absolutely love that account. Oh the comfort the disciples must have felt, knowing He really had come back. Grieving hearts were gladdened. I think Jesus, by that question was saying, commanding, you must love me above all others. I ask myself this and I can say,yes, nobody on earth matters...

Looking at Matthew chapter 2, verse 13. Is there biblical evidence that guardian angels exist? If so, do they help each of us only if we pray and believe in Jesus as Saviour? Many people take angels for granted as real but invisible. The term is used freely as if they come to us in times of...

Hi, Yes you should become changed from the inside. We become a new creature in Christ, freed from the shackles that hold us in sin. An extraordinary peace comes and you just know you are never alone in your troubles. The scriptures open up and understanding is the gift of the holy spirit.
