A Heart Untroubled

There is so much negativity going on at present and it's hard not to notice what's going on when most of us are now restricted on our movements, what we can buy in the shops and who we can see.  What I find most sad, however is not the limitations that are being imposed, but the limitations that Christians are putting on God at this time.It's really times like this that we have to put our money where our mouth is. If we are truly Christians, it should be easy to tell by our words, actions, attitudes and behaviour. Hebrews 13:5-6 (MSG) reads: "Don't be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, "I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you," we can boldly quote, God is there, ready to help; I'm fearless no matter what.Who or what can get to me?" Firstly the author of Hebrews reminds us not be be focussed on material things.  Very apt for today with people hoarding and pan

Really as believers we need to get a hold of the truth that we are in this world but we're not of it; we've been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light.  We need to be remember that we are different.  All around me this week it's all fear and frantic behaviour!  One of my favourite verses speaks of being kept in perfect peace when we keep our mind stayed on Jesus.

Even in the Old Testament we read (Deut 31:8): " It is the Lord who goes before you; He will be with you.  He will not fail you or abandon you. Do not fear or be dismayed" (dismayed:  confounded, discouraged, broken down etc). There is nothing new under the sun and God is unchangeable!   He goes before us and is with us!!  We need to put our money where our mouth is so to spea

The Coronavirus has taken over the world!  Well at least the media!  People are selfishly stealing, panic buying and getting the knickers in a twist about the whole thing. I don't want to debate its's severity or where it came from or any of those things, but what I do what do take the time to do today it to talk about a Christian response to this, or any of the other reports that come between now and the end of the world as we know it! As Christians we need to get it into our heads that we are spiritual!  We're not just people in this world!  We are people filled with the Spirit of God living in our hearts! If we are no different to those outside of Christ, then why bother? In my daily reading plan, I have recently finished reading about the plagues God brought to Egypt which lead to Pharaoh eventually letting the people of God go!   Before anyone misrepresents that statement I certainly do not believe that God has anything to do with the coronavirus, but what I d
