This Christian Resource Blog has been created by a group of friends from around the world. Our purpose is to provide links to useful resources, some commentary on topical or doctrinal issues, a place where anyone can come with questions and a means whereby we can share our faith. And above all, to grow and encourage each other. As Christians, we believe we bear God's image in this world, and seek to glorify God's name in this endeavour. Any Christian who wants to join with us is very welcome! |

Things
Gary
Alas, (not said too convingly) I'm 55 and 5 weeks off 56. But in good health, which I consider a great blessing. I don't dye my hair, or go to a gym, or a therapist though I probably need one.
47 Helped-along hair Gym member Therapist (God).
I criticise myself, and wish, each day, that I could undo a number of things that I have done.
God tells me daily, that once we repent for any of these things, the moment starts anew right at that moment. Don't knock yourself out over it - God knows your heart and when He knows when it is truly sorry, He in His great love and kindness is right ready to forgive. He told me once, when I was so ashamed of myself before Him in something, that the fact I actually came to Him in repentance and discussed it, meant more to Him than I will ever know. Face up and forget. Just had to mention this, as what you said has been a problem for me in the past too. But He dealt with that. He's the best therapist we could ever have!!
It worries me that we are all very busy.
Well Gary, we actually don't need to be! I will tell you what I believe and anyone here is MOST welcome to challenge this belief. I believe that God does not wish us to be so busy. And that it is influences outside of God which have created and are creating with greater frenzy, people to be as busy as they are today. I believe, that if we radically change our lives so that we are no longer "too busy" and absolutely trust the Lord will take care of things, then peoples lives will change completely. I have experienced this personally. I stopped working (even though we were going through a TERRIBLE financial experience - as I saw our children floundering badly with a Mum who was working all day and coming home too tired and stressed to even hardly say hello to them) I gave up all my interests (I used to paint, and sew everything we wore! We used to have a lot of social life.) and all this in search of having more time for family and God. Somehow, there was enough money. I honestly shudder when I wonder how we did it. Oh, we felt the job lack very much, but the change within our home life was worth every bit. Not just for then, not just for now, but I believe for all eternity. You just have to hand it all over to the Lord, learn to trust (how many people really truly know trust in the Father until they do something radical in some area??) and then live in God's moment. Whoops, I could write more and more on this topic - but better stop before it becomes a book!
Mmm deep down I am looking forward to BSF, Bible Study Fellowship. It is a great way to study the Bible.
Really glad to hear it!!!!!!!
Love Caro
