Hate or Dislike

 Are they right or wrong?

Sometimes we do use one of these words
to describe how we feel towards
something, someone or a situation we find ourselves in.
How much more often though
do we think either a dislike
or a hatred of something?

Is it wrong though to dislike or hate?
The answer would have to be yes
and then also no.
We all have likes and dislikes,
we may not like a certain type
of food or drink.

How many times have you heard
someone say that they
either dislike or hate their job,
or they dislike or
hate a colleague?

We could hate how someone
has or is being treated.
We possibly may hate how people
suffer in many different ways.

Not all of these are wrong but are
completely justified and right.
Whereas others there may have good
reason for, yet does that make
them still right?

As Christians, we know
that God himself does hate.
He hates sin
which comes in many different ways.

So hatred or dislike in themselves
are not wrong,
we just need more to see things,
people, situations and
also ourselves
more how the bible teaches us,
and therefore how Jesus wants
us to be and to live.

Listening

 Do people always listen?  One thing that is certain is that people want to be heard. We all want people to listen to what we have to say, whether they are someone that we know well or not. There can of course be many different topics of conversation,  dependant upon your listeners one subject may be more interesting than another to some. But sometimes when an individual is talking, they can tell that the one they are speaking to is not really listening. It could be that they may have other things upon their minds at that time or it could be that they just are not interested in what is said. Within the Church though, can this or does this happen?  When we speak to other Christians within the Church to which we belong, we should expect them to listen. Also we should also ourselves be prepared to listen to  what people say, it may be that they have a need of either advice or just some...

Something New

 Do you try anything new?  When a thing is new, it holds interest and can catch the attention of many. Whereas, when something is not new it needs sometimes a new way of doing it, something that will catch peoples' attention once again. What new things catch your attention? This can  be different for many people, a s people have different  interests, likes and dislikes. For some it can be a new car, for others it can be a new house, or possibly  for some it could be a new job. It may also be a new type of food which you have never tasted before, or a new hobby. Perhaps a new television or computer that comes out catches your attention, o r a new film or song that has been released.  Within the Church there can be new things, but also sometimes it can appear that there has not been anything new for some time. It is of course important to bring new things and ideas into the Chu...

Commands

How many commands have you broken? There possibly are quite a  few commands which we have received within our lives. Some of the commands which we may have received though we may not quite take  as a command, or understand that it was  an actual command. In peoples' careers or places of employment, sometimes a command is given to an employee and it may not be seen as such or taken as a request  or suggestion. There are also those who are in authority, such as  politicians or those within the military who also give commands, but these expect to be obeyed. Which of course they  should be, and unless the individual wishes to be reprimanded in  some way, their commands  are followed. Why though within the Church do some not  then follow the same  example, as for example soldiers who follow their commanding officers' commands as they are given. This of course...
