Home

 Where is your home?

 This is a question that
has perhaps more than
one possible answer.

If we are fortunate,
in life we begin with a 
home with the family
which we grow up with.

Though the place in which
you lived may have changed
more than once, yet each new
place became your home.

Then perhaps you are at or have
passed the stage when you
move out of your parents
house and into a place of your own.

This place then becomes your home,
yet the previous place where
you dwelt still may for
a while also feel like home to you.

Throughout our lives we
may know a good many places that
we accept as and welcome as our home.

As Christians we know that
the obvious answer to the
question is that our home is
with God in heaven.

We look to this, we
long for this and we
know that someday we
will have this home.

Yet, though we look ahead
for this, what of now?
We still have a home here and 
we should have more than one of them.

We have a home where we live
and we also should have a 
home where we have and
know true life, our
home with God starts before 
we get there.

This is due to us belonging to him
and through this being made
alive by his Holy Spirit who dwells
within us.

Also though we should have 
another home, this is
a home where we should
always know support and comfort.

This of course is the Church 
to which we belong, this
should and needs to be a home 
for us.

We need to be able to see and 
know this as a home
and therefore where we 
belong.

So let us enjoy our
many homes that we have
in life, both actual and
symbolic, let us also
know that our home is in and
with God always.

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...
