Hope

 Do you Hope?

 This can be something that
everyone can relate to.
It is something we all
do and have done.

We hope for many things
within our lives, 
sometimes we hope for
things we know are possible. 

Whereas upon other occasions
we hope for things that
are out of our reach and
at that moment in time
unobtainable to us.

We can hope for things
which are good for us,
but then sometimes
people can also hope for things
that are harmful in someway
to us or others.

The hope that we have in
God should be something
that never stops and 
never diminishes. 

We have a hope that is
solid, sure and steadfast. 
Our hope is not based on 
what people see as hope.

Hope many see as just
a thing that is only 
possible and in some cases
very unlikely.

But the hope that we have
with God and in God
is not the 
'I Hope so'
hope of the world,
but it is a hope that is
guaranteed.

This hope is of course
includes the promise of
an eternity with him.

But also our hope should
also include what we
should know and realise
within our lives,
living each day 
with a hope in God in
all areas of our lives.

A hope that he shall guide us daily,
a hope that he shall strengthen us
for the tasks ahead and for any problems 
and situations that comes our way.

We should hope for these and
many other things as well
that we see in the bible, where
there are many promises
which we should have this
solid hope for.

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...
