What does the Future hold for the Young People?

This blog is entitled Canny Granny's Advice to the Young so it's about time I addressed the issue of the present circumstances and what it means for young people.  Suddenly your education has been disrupted.  No exams this Summer and great uncertainty about the future.  I would advise you to keep as busy as you can.  Learning doesn't have to stop just because there isn't a teacher present.  Now is a chance to read as widely as you can and develop a critical attitude to all that you see and hear in society. Don't accept things at face value. Use your brain to think for yourself, to analyze what is going on in society.  But most importantly of all ponder the existence of God.  For this you will need to read a Bible. This is most important. It should not be done lightly.  This is the big question and your future depends on it. How you answer this question will decide your future path in life and where you will spend eternity. You will either believe and live your life in the light of that or you will reject Him and live a life centred on you, a selfish  life.  You can only know God in Jesus Christ.  Because we do wrong and God is Holy we have to come to Him through the cross of Jesus.  Jesus forgives our sin when we believe and makes us perfect in God's eyes.  You can't please God by your own efforts to do good, because God will only accept perfection.  That perfection can only be given to us by Jesus. Jesus promises that you will find Him if you search with all your heart.  Ask Him for His help in this as you certainly can't find Him without it.

Denial Over Corona Virus

When something very nasty comes our way we can only take in some much of the horror of the situation and then our minds protect us by putting us into a state of denial.  It's all very well sitting cozy in the middle of a storm, but by doing that you can put others at risk.  It is tempting to think that the corona virus situation is not real and won't touch you and your family, to think that somehow the heads of state who appeared so lately to be at loggerheads are in fact manufacturing the whole thing for their own purposes.  Just see how the mind wants to divert us from the awful truth. Do you realize we could be on the point of the total collapse of civilization? That's why people panic buy because inside they realize food production and distribution could break down.  Of course the little store they have been able to stash away will not last long. Deny us our food and we turn into much nastier human beings, well no that's the way we always were but this brings out...

The Cull

The gamekeeper looked over the moorland with a keen eye at the herd of deer grazing happily.   Of course he was not their owner, he had gone on a long journey, but he had been gone so long that the gamekeeper, whose name was Godred   Selfishman, had for some time come to see himself as the owner of the deer and as the best person to fashion the herd according to his own desire. He had forgotten that the owner had a special affinity with each individual deer.   He knew them all by name and they would come to him when he called. They were precious each one and woe betide anyone who would hurt any of his deer. Once Godred had known all this but over the years he had forgotten. He looked at the herd in the valley eating grass and flicking their ears.   They were content, unsuspecting. He had told the neighbouring farmers, “There are too many deer; they are eating your crops.” Unlike most farmers these did not think for themselves, they did not remember that the...

Is Mary the Mother of God?

This is a very tricky subject because I know I will upset many people by tackling it.  First let me say that everything I say to you is based only on what the Bible says.  I do believe that Mary was the virgin mother of Jesus and that Jesus was fully man and fully God.  Many people say that Mary was sinless but I can show you that she herself denied this.  She said,"My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour" Read this in Luke (от Лука) 1:46,47. A sinless person does not need a Saviour, but Mary said that God was her Saviour. I have often said that if it was possible to be miserable in heaven then Mary would be the most sad person there, because people often honour her above Jesus.  She would be crying everyday at this . Jesus was her son but also her Saviour. I have many things to add to this but we will take it a step at a time.  Ask the Holy Spirit to help you as you consider these things.  Ask Him to lead you into t...
