Inspiration

 What inspires us?

 In life we may have a 
great many things that can
inspire us and move us
to action. 

Inspiration is something
though that sometimes
escapes us when we
most need it or
most desire it.

Sometimes we need
inspiration when we are
in a difficult situation,
when we do not know exactly
what is the best way forward, and
how we can change the
circumstances surrounding
whatever it may be.

Problems need inspiration, 
yet also many other 
things do as well. 
Artists need inspiration
for their works of art, 
authors also as they 
create with their words.

In many professions, 
inspiration can be something 
that is needed and 
even essential. 

The lack of inspiration 
can sometimes be infuriating 
and can leave us in many areas 
wondering what exactly 
we should do. 

In church life inspiration 
is also essential and 
necessary in all we do 
as a body, which applies 
to each individual within 
the church. 

Preachers and teachers need 
inspiration for their sermons, 
bible studies and lectures. 
A minister of a church needs 
inspiration when faced 
with a challenging situation 
within the church or 
with a member of their 
congregation. 

Youth and children 
workers need inspiration 
when dealing with them and 
guiding them forwards. 

Praise and worship leaders and 
all involved with this 
need inspiration when leading 
the worship, and before 
when choosing the right 
music etc. for each 
individual church meeting 
or event. 

Where though should 
we find our inspiration? 
Of course the main and 
obvious answer is God, but 
how does he give and 
provide us with this 
inspiration? 

He uses his word to give this, 
he uses other people, even those 
who we would not expect, he uses 
situations and circumstances and he also 
uses us, our minds, our skills, 
our desires, our emotions and much more. 

The thing with inspiration 
given by God is whether 
we choose to listen, to follow 
and also to obey. 

If we do, then we will move 
forwards in the best possible 
way in whatever it maybe; 
we desire and need 
this inspiration. 

So let us always 
be open to God 
inspired 
inspiration.

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...

Freedom

Freedom in our lives. When we think of freedom what comes to mind?     Do we think of those imprisoned?  Do we think of Freedom of choice? Do we think of Freedom of speech? Do we think of Freedom in and from troubles? Do we think of Freedom from debt? Do we think of Freedom from sin? Do we think of Freedom in Christ? There are perhaps many different things that come to mind in what many would consider as our day to day living, and also within our Christian walk. However, the two really are one, as our whole life is a walk with God. But Freedom is something that for many is elusive.  In one or more of the things mentioned, whether through circumstances or choices made by us or others for us, in jobs, in family, in Government and many more. So how do we live in Freedom completely in our lives? The simple fact is we cannot, due to many reasons; due to sin, mans' desires, circumstances made by our choices or ...

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...
