Eternity

 What do we think of this?

 When we consider
eternity, what thoughts
do we have and
what are they based upon?

Many people have differing
views on eternity,
even those who do not
believe in a God have
at least a viewpoint on this.

Some simply do not believe
that they have an eternity.
They see their existence 
and that of others as
being over once their
time in this life is over.

There are those who
also believe that
there is nothing that is 
eternal, the individual
or the physical universe.

Whereas some believe in
an eternity but do not
have a definite belief
in God.

We who have a belief, faith
hope and trust in God do
of course believe in
an eternity.

We believe in an 
eternal God, who is
El-Olam- the 
everlasting God or 
God of eternity.

We accept this and believe
this, though we may
not fully understand or
comprehend it.

We know that we have
an eternity with God,
yet we also know that those 
who do not also
have an eternity as well.

Sometimes we see our
eternity as beginning when
we leave this life,
which is in one way true.

Yet we also have to realise
that though we have not
yet entered the eternal state
promised, our eternity with God
began when we gave ourselves to him.

We have this eternity
guaranteed for us, not
because of anything we
have done but because of
what Christ Jesus 
did for us.

So when we consider eternity
let us allow this to
encourage us into
action for God and
for the lost who do not
know him.

    Yes, this message makes me think of a Christian worship song, 'we will meet him in the air and then we will be like him, for we will see him as he is, then all hurt and pain will cease and we'll be with him forever and in his glory we will live with him.'
    Amazing and uplifting message for all us Christians who will have an eternal everlasting life with God, amen.

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 ...

There's never enough TIME

 Where does time go?  One of the things that we  can always be certain of in life,  is that time passes.  Time doesn't always pass  in the way we want.  Why is that time seems to  at times pass very quickly,  yet at other times it goes  very slowly?  Usually this is because  during those times when  time seems to drag we are  perhaps doing something which  we do not enjoy or is monotonous.   Whereas upon other occasions  when time races away from us  is usually when we want something  to last longer and so because of this  it seems to go quickly.  Within church events and church life  this can also and very often is the case.  There can be things that need to be  done which we ourselves and  many others do not wish to do.  With this we either avoid doing them  or if we do actually decide to ...

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...
