Reading Mathew chapter 5 verse 22 I have a question. It is regarding having something against someone 'without a cause'. That implies to me it's ok if there IS legitimate cause, to be angry. Anger is a most destructive emotion, we all get angry. It can galvanise someone to positive actions or...

I've always loved science fiction and watched Doctor Who as a child, and still enjoy it as a grandmother. It's good for our grandchildren's minds to be challenged and expanded and we often watch TV together. However, I consider myself rather bewildered lately, at the diversity built in to it...

There is not all that much about him in the Bible really and I would like to understand more about him and his life. If anyone could recommend good books I would appreciate it. So did he heal the sick, did he preach of the love and goodness of God? I would like to know what his teachings were...

I would like a calm, objective, philosophical reflection on the essence of retaliation/revenge when violence has happened. So, if someone kills your family, what results if you kill their family? Two sets of innocent people die. When such a thing happens, can it bring justice or satisfaction...

I like my daily Wordle though my streaks are not that long, I fail at times. I have now discovered Qwordle which is 4 words to find daily in 10 rows. I always start my day with cracking my Wordle. My husband is far better than me and maintains long streaks.

This is an unusual subject. I was reading about famous prime ministers and began reading about Edward Heath, I noticed how people always wondered why he never married. This got me onto Pitt the Younger, same. Then I thought of how Cliff Richard has been treated disgracefully. Then about the...

So why has so much time elapsed? It has been centuries and no return. I firmly believe Christ will do as He promised but why is it taking so long? The world seems more than wicked and stupid enough to warrant the re-appearance for sure!

Anyone else find vitamin D has improved depression and wellbeing? Well it's worked wonders for me, since I feel a strength and vitality returning big time. I had not realised I stay indoors too much, so I must have lacked sunlight. This is only my view, I have not had specific tests. I take...

I often wonder what it is about us that God thinks worth so much. Sending His beloved Son to sacrifice Himself. So do you think you are worth it? I'm sure I'm not. Looking at what's going on at any time in history, just look at us! All sinners, even the best of us. If I was Him I would destroy...

Are you impressed by or afraid of people who own large, powerful, potentially dangerous dogs? Conversely, if you have a dog that is or soon could be, on the 'dangerous dog list', are you seeking to impress or frighten people with it? Or indeed neither. It is a question to explore reasons as...

I'm reading 'Near death in the ICU' by doctor Laurin Bellg. She makes a point of not dismissing anyone's account. Why do so many people scoff at these kinds of stories or dismiss them? Often because they don't fit their religious views. There is so much we just don't know, is it not best to...

If so, please describe what you felt. I have felt Him. It was an enormous fantastic force that overwhelmed my entire self. Never have I felt such love and security, being held so tight I could barely breathe. I know the Holy Spirit is real and I cannot wait to be with him permanently when my...

It is a bit confusing that Sunday is traditionally the weekly day of rest but also when the traditional Sunday roast is eaten, certainly in the UK. Cooking, eating and washing up on a Sunday is actually a lot of work - at least in my house. Certainly not restful in that aspect! I certainly...

I have read about and heard many near death experiences. I believe each person, I do not think anyone has reason to lie about such a serious, often life-changing matter. I think it is arrogant to dismiss anyone's experience. What puzzles me is that so many of these accounts say how much they...

Whenever there is discontent and turbulence, could the root likely every time be in disobedience? In families when the hierarchy is forgotten or disregarded. In kingdoms when subjects rebel against authority. Struggles result where nobody is willing to back down, so nobody is happy. The...

If in Mathew 4 verses 8-10, Satan offered all the kingdoms to Jesus on condition that he worship him, I need a point cleared up. One can only offer what one owns. So is Satan the owner? If so, why so?

In recent times I am avidly reading English history, especially the Tudor and Stuart periods. I am appalled at the violence, killing, burning and torture that went on especially between Catholics and protestants. I am disgusted at how much was done by 'Christians' to anyone who didn't do things...

I am getting sick a lot these days, my health is going downhill as never before. When I become ill, I also feel great depression, black pressures oppressing me, a hopelessness that takes away my strength. After time, treatment and much fervent prayer, I come through, feel better for a while...

What a drama series, I have never seen anything so powerful, it gets into your mind and soul. Very addictive and makes us think about power, money and the cost to the soul of being mind-blowingly wealthy. I feel changed and shaken by this drama.

Looking at John 21 verse 25, the last words there. Reflecting on this, what did it mean? There must have been so many Jesus healed, taught, who could not write anything. So much He did that will never be known. Since His time countless books have been written. It is a sincere statement at the...
