Favourite

 Do you have Favourites?

 One thing that is
certain in our lives
and that is throughout them,
we are sure to have favourites.

We can and most likely
do have a favourite
type of food or drink,
or at times we say
that we have more than
one favourite of these.

We can have a favourite
 television program
or a favourite film which
we love to watch, or
perhaps a favourite genre of these.

Also people can and do have
a favourite type of music
which they like to listen
to, with this a favourite
radio station that play such.

People can have favourite
sports which either they
enjoy to participate in
or love to watch.

There are many things within
our lives as Christians, where
we can and do have favourites.

In Church we also can have
a favourite of something,
there can be a favourite event
which you like to go to,
a favourite song you like to sing,
again there are many possible
favourites we can have.

Sometimes people in Church
have a favourite seat which
they like to sit upon,
others can have favourite
people which they like
to associate with, 
others can have a favourite
preacher which they like
to listen to.

We can also have a 
favourite bible verse, chapter
or book which we love to 
read and find comforting or
helpful when seeking guidance.

It, of course is not wrong
for us to have favourites in 
many things, but sometimes
we have to be careful to
not let our favourites exclude
all others.

This can be with people in
the Church, we must not allow
having those we see as our favourites
to come before others, nor
those who we like to speak to
above those we may not.

What also we must be careful
of is that our favourite parts of
scripture must not exclude all
others, even when troubles come, 
as this can hinder our
ability to receive guidance from God.

The same of course applies 
to the preachers we listen to,
we may pay greater attention
to those we think of
as favourites, but then we can
miss what God wants us to
hear from others when
our minds wander.

Favourites can of course
be good to have, but let us 
always be open to all 
and to new things and 
ideas which may be 
God inspired.

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...
