    Is sickness a blessing?

    I like the writing of the Rev J R Miller, he imparts much wisdom and clarifies Biblical questions. However, today I read a section in which he maintains that sickness is a blessing for which we should always be grateful. I am not sure at all about that! My health of late has not been good...

    Can we trust the Angels?

    In the Bible Satan is described as a fallen angel, having originally been Lucifer who was beautiful and known as the Bringer of Light - if my understanding is right. It is said there was war in heaven, Satan banished for challenging God and that many other angels, a third of the total...

    Attending church

    What do people think about someone who attends different churches, without wanting to commit to just one? A person I know of sys God is everywhere so why limit yourself to one church. I and my family belong to our own local church where we have friends and have settled over the years. We have...

    Bringing others to Jesus

    John 1 v 41-42 'He first findeth his own brother Simon...' The above is fantastic and the ideal. Yo bring your brother to Christ before all other. Yet I find this so hard. Those closest to me just do not want to hear it. Like talking to a brick wall, they don't listen to me and recently call...

    Kate Forbes

    Is it time such a rare politician led? She is honest and courageously stands up for Christian values. What do you think of her, especially compared to her predecessor? I think in these spiritually dark and difficult times, she would provide necessary light.

    What hope is there?

    Christianity brings us real hope for everlasting life with Jesus Christ. This I understand. My question is, when I die will I see my loved ones again and shall our love as it was on earth continue? I would like Biblical evidence on this please.

    Fasting like Jesus

    A pastor in Mozambique has died after trying to copy Jesus by fasting for 40 days. He died long before reaching his target. Actually, 40 days is a very very long time. Is it actually possible for any human being to do this? I can only presume Jesus did drink as humans die within a few days...

    Bible guidance on suicide...

    What does a Christian say to someone whose loved one has taken their own life? Is there any guidance in the Bible that would provide comfort and reassurance? I have read that the Bible contains advice on every aspect of life, it should always be our reference. I feel that if in doubt what to...

    China balloon

    So surely China wouldn't send surveillance equipment so blatantly, knowing the consequences? It will be interesting to see what it is and the motivation behind it. The whole thing seems absurd.

    Children's Bibles

    It may sound a bit strange but I find using good children's Bibles to introduce adults to the Bible are very useful. A gentle effective way to acquaint them with a good basic knowledge of it. In particular I love David Kossof's 'Bible Stories' is brilliant for a person I am helping just now...

    Home products of past times

    A bit of a reminisce. Which products from your home from years ago do you miss or don't miss? Some didn't really work very well and made hard work necessary to do your cleaning. Products you don't find in the shops these days. I came across a reference to OMO today, it was always in our house...

    Serpent in Eden

    Was the Serpent in the Garden of Eden actually Satan? I am a bit confused. I thought Satan was originally Lucifer who fell from heaven to roam this earth after becoming so arrogant that God had to get rid of him.

    God's Image

    In Genesis Chapter 1 v.26 (King James Version) it says God made us in His likeness in fact 'our likeness', plural. So what does that mean and why can we not see Him? It seems such a simplistic thing but it is a very large thought that we look like God, He looks like us. He said 'our'...

    Tyre Nichols

    Black officers beat a black man to death for no reason. Is that a first? The video is unclear. So can this be explained because I do not understand?

    Meditation

    I wonder if it is ok to use yoga and Buddhist sorts of meditations and exercise techniques just for improving health? When using guided visualisation videos there is often a white light or guiding figure being imagined, that sends healing warmth into your body and mind. I have become very...

    Psalms the easy way

    David Suchet reading the psalms, free on YouTube is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in God while you do your daily tasks. No music, just his lovely voice, the voice of a true believer and great actor. A good way to wind down before sleeping too. Can anyone recommend any good Christian...

    Advice please on a book

    A friend has mentioned and recommended to me a book that she is greatly enjoying at present, called ' Home with God' by Neale Donald Walsh. I've looked it up and am immediately suspicious of this author. I always check author's background etc before spending any money and time on any book. I...

    Let us pray ....

    .... For Prince Harry. He has surely lost his mind. It is a matter of deep concern that a man be so very unwise through past griefs. Lord Jesus, please help Harry before tragedy strikes. No doubt everyone has their own opinion on this matter but I see a man falling apart. I have no idea why...

    Cancer treatment choices

    I am reading books about documented cases of people who successfully decided to try natural ways to get well from even the most serious types of cancer. Some did it completely through diet and lifestyle changes, some through a combination of conventionally recommended chemotherapy and such. I...
