Health

 Are you Healthy?

 We all can be at
times very healthy,
yet upon other
occasions we are not.

There are different
ways of looking at
whether we are healthy
or not.

We can be healthy in
our general health; this
is something which
we all would like to
have, yet we also know
that it is something that
we cannot ever guarantee.

Our physical bodies
very often suffer from
a lack of health for which
we sometimes need treatment
and so on.

Then we can be healthy
within our minds, we can
have a sound mind, also 
though there are some
who are unfortunate
to suffer from the lack of this.

We can also have an
healthy diet; much has been
spoken and written about this
recently, and it is to our benefit if
we do eat healthily.

As Christians we also
know that people also
can have spiritual health
as well.

If people do not know
Christ Jesus, then they
are spiritually dead; 
those of us who do know
him have been through
the Holy Spirit been made
spiritually alive.

So we who are spiritually
alive then can also
be seen to have either
spiritual health or
a lack of it.

We also live a healthy
life within the Church, also
though we can do the
opposite of this.

A healthy Church life
means we attend the Church
regularly, we also support
the Church in whatever way
we can and we are as involved
in the Church as we are able.

But we also support those who
belong to the Church through
many different ways.

A Healthy Church life
helps us to also
have a healthy spiritual life.
There of course is more
we need for this as well.

We also need to live
our lives in relation to
the bible. For this
we need to study the bible
and hear sermons within
the Church.

Also we need to spend
regular time in prayer with
God; without this
we cannot ever possibly live
a healthy spiritual life.

So we want a healthy 
physical life in all ways, but
we also need an healthy spiritual
life with our bodies; we can 
do things to help our health, so
also let us do the things we need
to do to maintain and increase our
spiritual health.

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 ...

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...
