Made in the Image of God

Every human being, from the just conceived child to the oldest man and woman and including the ill, and the disabled, is made in the image of God.  God created them and only He has the right to take their life again.  We have to realize God is not mocked or in any way thwarted by the seemingly untimely death of anyone.  Even that He controls, but He will always demand an explanation from the murderer.
  I thought that Hitler lost the war, but now I see he only lost a battle, for his spirit is still abroad today.  The spirit that says only the fit and strong, who can work, are of any value. Such people, who follow Hitler, forget that they may succumb to illness and frailty. A fit and strong person can wake up one morning to find that they have a crippling illness. Will they offer themselves up for sacrifice when the system considers them useless?
  God is not an absent landlord.  He is fully aware of what goes on in His world and He will want an explanation of what has been done to His people. We first set ourselves up for this situation when we allowed abortion into our society. It is only a step from that to euthanizing the ill and the weak and encouraging the suicidal to go ahead and terminate their life. There is a price to pay for treating people like cattle. God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap.
  After the grand plan for a perfect world come the Nuremburg Trials.

What has Lockdown taught us? Will we listen?

  It was time for me to stop chattering on, thinking I knew so much and could teach the World how to believe.  Just like everyone else I have had a time of thinking things through. Suddenly the world changed over night and we were left alone with our own thoughts.  What IS the meaning of life? What really matters to me? How important is family? How important are friends and those people who are more than acquaintances? Can I live without them?   I'm beginning to realize how isolated I had become.  Most of my meals were alone, that is before Covid. We crazily live our lives in isolation and find that this means throwing away so much good food because you can't eat a whole cauliflower on your own before it's too far gone.  A tin of baked beans is too much for one and you don't fancy sardines on toast two days running. Life is built around being together, even if it's only two of you.  You don't have to live in the same house, you can share with a neighbo...

Hi-jackers

Down through history the true church of Jesus has been hi-jacked time after time by people with their own agenda which has nothing to do with Jesus and His teachings. Jesus lived a simple life. First as a carpenter and then as a preacher travelling the length of Israel. He healed those who were ill but reprimanded the religious leaders of the day. He gave His life on the cross to save all who will believe in Him. Yet ever since , although there have always been the few who have truly followed in His footsteps, there have always been the many who have built luxurious lives for themselves, and positions of grandeur claiming to be His followers They have also waged war in His name for their own ends. We should always beware of the religious who are proud of their position in the church . They claim to follow Jesus who was meek and lowly, but they are proud and love to be at the top of society. He healed the sick but they won’t give a coin to the beggar in the street. He taught us to love ...

Walking a Little Dog (2) Выгуливает собачку

 My little dog is on a lead. I allow him to explore his environment, I allow him to stop and sniff and to meet other dogs.  When we walk along the pathway known as the Old Railway Track I allow him more freedom.  I do not allow him off the lead because he does not know me very well yet and perhaps he would run away and not come back to me and then he would not be safe.  When we walk beside the road I shorten his lead and keep him close to me.  Sometimes he is frightened by big lorries passing by.  Then I speak gently to him and tell him he is safe.   For me all this is a wonderful picture of how God cares for us.  The restrictions he places on us are for our own good and for our safety and even to make us feel safe. He let's us explore life.  He doesn't keep us in a cage.  But he watches over us and gently, but firmly pulls us to himself when we are in danger. When life throws frightening situations our way He is there with a gentle whi...
