Christian thoughts and words for the day

 We all go on Journeys  We all at times within our lives go on more than one journey. Perhaps you have been on many journeys within your life. Some people go on quite a number of journeys just within one year, this depends usually upon their profession. As some people travel a great deal in their work. Whereas some only journey a few times in the same time period, perhaps this is for a holiday or visiting relatives. There is also a journey we take in different areas of our lives, such as we could be upon a journey within our careers or also your  family life. As Christians we know that there are many journeys in life, some of the journeys that we find ourselves upon can be hard and a difficult  route to be upon. But there also can be journeys that can be both enjoyable and exciting. Then there are those that can cause nervousness and  others still a sense of anticipation. Wi...

 What do you consider nature to be?  Nature is something that can be taken in more than one way. We can see nature as being the natural  world around us . Many people appreciate nature and love to walk whilst looking at some of natures wonders. Others prefer to watch television programmes, of which there have been many, which show things from nature that we may never ourselves get to see. Then there is also the nature of things, that is the nature of living things, we see this with all such things. Also there within this is human nature, which some believe us all to have. But what is this really? Human nature is really linked to the soul, yet within human nature there is a problem which philosophers  do not recognise. We as Christians, though do understand the problem with human nature and  that is of course sin. That is evident within mankind and therefore within human natu...

 How do you view Work?  We all have work which we need to do. There are different types of work which we  need to do on a  regular basis. Then there is also work which we have to do and work that we should do, plus also work that we try not to do. Many will have employment which they need to do to pay the bills, so there is a need to work and through the necessity of it there can be a strong desire to work. This is evident in many who are unfortunate who have either been out of work or are currently in that situation. There is also optional work, where we have work that needs to be done at home which we sometimes  embrace or at others force ourselves to finish the work whatever it may be. Within the Church there is always work that needs to be done and work that should be done. But how many individuals are there within the Church that are willing to do the work that is neede...

 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 kno...

 How important is music?  Everyone at some point in their lives has listened to music. What type of music one individual may like to listen to could possibly be different from that of another. As we know, there are many different types of music that we can listen to and there now are many different ways of being able to listen to them. Peoples' taste in music can also change, for example the music that I liked  to listen to many years ago, now I would not enjoy. How important is listening to music to you though? There are reasons why we like to listen to music and different music can give different results. What of the music within the Church? And what of  the music within the bible? Within the bible, music is mentioned frequently and also for many different reasons. Music was, along with poetry, the only main Art forms that are part of the Israelites Old Testament culture. It ...

What do you think of royalty? For some this is a question that is controversial, for  others it can be irrelevant. There are still countries that have royalty, either as a figurehead or as an acting ruler. Within some countries there can be a debate as to whether it is in  the countries best  interests to keep them as such. Some see them in different ways, which can cause friction between their differing viewpoints. What of the Church? How do we, or how should  we see royalty? We of course have a different perspective of royalty than those who are not Christians. Some Christians may live in a nation with royalty and others without, regardless of this. As Christians we all have a King. Jesus of course is our King, he is the King above all others. He is  the King that was promised, first to the Israelites, then to those who would come to know him. He is the perfect King,...

  Have you ever known rejection?  It is very likely that everyone has at some point within their lives known rejection. This can come in many different forms and can also affect us in many  possible ways. People can receive rejection when attempting to start employment at another company; they are rejected for one reason or another. Also should an individual desire a loan from the bank this also can be rejected by the bank. Then of course there is rejection of yourself as a person, you can be rejected by people on account of how you look, how you dress and so on. People can also be  rejected in matters of the heart, one person may not feel the same way as another, and so one is rejected. As Christians we also know that rejection can also come from the things that we believe, people reject not only what we believe but also Christians as a whole on account of our beliefs. People ...
