Walking with God

Before I started work at this museum, I went to the staff kitchen and made myself a mug of hot chocolate. After drinking half of it, I had enough and threw the rest away. "How do you guys keep drinking cups of coffee and tea?" I said to the security guy. "I couldn't even finish this hot chocolate." The security guy pointed at another colleague and said, "He drinks lots of cups of tea all day." "You must need to use the toilet a lot," I said.  "I'm not a fan of hot drinks, but I prefer cold drinks." "You don't drink coffee?" the security guy said. "How do you stay awake?" "I pray." That was the end of our conversation.😊 Thank you, God, for  keeping me awake.❤️

I believe the Bible verse below is very pertinent to this age of podcasts and social media.  We are bombarded with so much "truth", if you don't have discernment, you're going to be lost. "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; [4] and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." 2 Timothy 4: 3-4

 I saw two dogs at church yesterday with their humans and they were very well-behaved. One called Bella was sitting near me and kept licking my hands. The other dog accompanied his human when she went up for communion. It got me wondering whether I should take our resident cat, Zeus, to church next time. Not a good idea as he'll probably expect everyone to worship him. 😆 Photo of Zeus looking adorable. ❤️

I find it amazing how the photo below of earth, taken from space, looks so perfect. From space, you can't see any of the negativity going on earth such as wars, famine, sickness, suffering and death. I believe when God created the earth, everything was perfect before the "fall" of mankind. God then sent His begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem mankind from their sins. Now God sees those who have accepted Jesus's salvation just like the way earth is seen from space - beautiful, good, lovely, perfect, pure and whole. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verse: "For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away." 1 Corinthians 13: 9-10 Photo of earth courtesy of Google Images

 ust because you were brought up by Christian parents/guardians who got you to attend church and a Christian school doesn't make you a Christian. I was baptised in a Church, brought up in a Christian family, attended a Methodist church and school, but I wasn't a Christian. To be a Christian, you must be born again. (John 3: 3) That means you have to make a choice to ask Jesus Christ to be  your personal Lord and Saviour. (Romans 10:9) That can happen at any age.  However, just because you are now a born again Christian doesn't mean your personality instantly changes.  Your spirit or inner man is changed, but it takes time for your outer man to be changed as that involves renewing (reprogramming) your mind with the Bible so you embody the Gospel of Christ in your every day life. (Romans 12: 2) That's why it can take many years for someone to be ready for the ministry God has called them for. A while back I wasn't feeling well. As my flatmate could see I was still cou...

In the Bible when Lazarus was extremely ill, his sisters, Mary and Martha, sent a message to Jesus as follows: “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.” (John 11: 3) "When Jesus heard that, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was."John 11: 4-6) You would have thought Jesus would have taken immediate action to heal someone He loved.  Not Jesus. He decided to wait  a few more days.  When Jesus and His disciples finally arrived at the sisters' home, their brother had already been dead and buried for four days. Jesus then resurrected Lazarus from the dead. Only then did Jesus's disciples  and the two sisters understand that Jesus had been acting out of love. Before Jesus was crucified, He told His disciples that He was going to go through a lot of suffering a...
