     | 10,717 views

    The miracle of a blind man receiving his sight addresses the Problem of Affliction and Healing and that criticism by the Pharisees brought out both negative and positive reaction.

    There’s a saying that ‘There’s none as blind as those who won’t see!’ As Helen Keller said: ‘What would be worse than being born blind? To have sight without vision.’ It’s certainly true in the encounter that Jesus had with the Pharisees on the occasion when He healed a man who had been born ...read more

The destruction brought by the Napoleonic wars of the early 19th Century, transformed bare land into fields of blood red poppies, ...read more

    Many churches link Remembrance Day and the Suffering Church finding help in both life situations in David’s testimony of God who Forgives, Heals, Preserve, Provides and Satisfies

It’s also appropriate to link Remembrance with the Persecuted and Suffering Church. Here in Britain the Christian Church ...read more

     | 10,979 views

    Jesus used the Parables of The Talents and The Pounds to teach His followers of the Kingdom of God - of its Coming, postponed in all its fulness until His Return, but in the meantime, Waiting and Working for it, and Accountability for what we do for it.

    When Jesus walked the highways and byways of the land of Israel preaching the coming Kingdom of God he caused quite a stir. The religious establishment were generally suspicious and increasingly hostile to His message. His reception by what were known as the ‘common people’ was quite different. ...read more

     | 3,130 views

    Texting on my mobile was a parable on praying.

    Most children and many adults have a mobile. It’s a valuable tool of communication, not only as a portable phone, but also in word messages known as ‘texting’.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,608 views

    The abbreviation ’Xmas’ annoys some Christians but it has a message worth hearing.

    Xmas or CHRISTmas ? I used to get annoyed when I saw the word ‘Xmas’ as an abbreviation for ‘Christmas’ as it seemed to take something of the wonder out of the story of Jesus coming to our world as a baby in order to become the Saviour of the World. It was all part of the commercialising this ...read more

    In Leap Year, an extra day is given, but our days on Earth are few and uncertain, unlike God who is eternal but through faith in Jesus we may have eternal life with Him.

    One of the most frequent words in the Bible is the word ‘Day’. It’s used many hundreds of occasions because we’re living in time. When God created the world Genesis tells us it was over 6 days – how long those days were is not really known but on each we’re told ‘there was evening and there was ...read more

    Religion as mankind's search for meaning in life and its ultimate expression in God's revelation of Himself in Jesus

    ‘WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE RELIGIOUS?’ The best way to learn is to ask questions. The dictionary tells us that it’s having reverence or belief in some being known as ‘God’. To go further, we have to ask more questions. And that’s what I want to do this ...read more
