Keep searching

Someone this week told me that there was no god and the bible is just a clever book but together by some wise old men over thousands of years.

Well I guess he got one thing right, the bible was written by some clever men over thousands of years.

He asked me to prove that god was real. To be honest I could only tell him about my experience and that maybe he could prove to me he wasn't real.... He couldn't.

If someone said to you there was no gold in China, would he be able to prove this?

He would have had to look under every stone in every hole and in every bodies mouth (checking for gold teeth) and so on and so on, before he could say that there was no gold in China.

To prove there was gold in China, I wouldn't have to look to far before I found someone wearing a gold watch or ring.

Today science has come up with many many things, but still we find that ideas change as we find new things. In fact today scientist believe we have not even started to scratch the service of what is to be discovered on earth and in the universe so how can anyone prove there is no God.

I'm no theologist who can prove the truth in the bible, I can't say that every single part of the bible is 100% written to the exact letter to how it happened. In the same way there is no scientist on earth that can't 100% tell us he knows how every thing works or about every living thing or if the big bag theory (yes theory) was correct

But what I can do is but my trust in it and tell you what I have experienced.

If you haven't looked for something how can you be sure it's not there. If you have written of the bible and that God is real then how can you know.

The bible says when you seek him with all your heart you will find him. I recon if you try to disprove he exists you'll be trying to prove it for a long time.

Foundations

There's a great story in the bible about two builders. Both builders where building a house. The first builder decides that he would build his house on a nice bit of flat sand, this should make placing the foundations easier and then should be a much quicker and easier build.

The second builder finds a hard rock base bit of land and decides that the stronger base may be a tricky area to lay foundations but should make the rest of the build easier with less problems.

We all know what come next don't we. The wind, rain and floods come along and the house that was on the sand colapses and sinks into the soft ground. But the house on the rock stands up to the situation and because of the solid rock base it stays strong and provides shelter through many more storms.

Its a classic Sunday school story and one that is told to the very youngest of children. There's no harm in us all being reminded of that story from time to time as we are reminded of the why it was told all those years ago.

What is our it we base our lives on? Is it that life is meaning less? I guess if it was true that we where all here by accident then yes, I guess life is just a pointless journey.

But life I guess isn't meaningless. We all have to make decitions, we all have to but our trust in others and we all have to think in some way about the future.

What foundation do you have in you life? Is it like the house on the sand that is easy and quick to build? After all if its just a case of we live and then die its alright to try a make quick success.

Or is it better to place a solid foundation, one that brings hope, one that give promise one that will still be there after many storms.

To but you trust in God is to build your house on a firm foundation, not one that's easy and quick to build on.

We live we die. That's an easy consept to belive, it has no real meaning or future but is easy and quick to grasp. But to but your trust in God is sometimes hard but will stand you on the strongest foundation, give you hope and will not let you down.

Why People Don't Go to Church

Why Christians go to Church?

One of my statuses last week on Facebook (AGAIN!!!) lead to a discussion been had with people saying ''you don't have to be a Christian to go to church. And sure Going to church doesn't make you a christian, but I was trying to do a blog about it, and was trying to state why its important for Christians to go to church or spend time with other Christians.

I did do a blog but as always It didn't quite read how I wanted it to.... then I found this...

In Gods hands

I must admit, i was going to stop writing blogs on here in 2013. I guess I have beenfeeling a little under qualified to continue with it as it seems to grow more each week.

when I get feed back from people, sure its great to hear they read it and i hope it helps put a different  veiw on thing. When i get bad feed back, well that just makes me blog more.

Ive been looking at a change in the blog for a while and hope to add those changes soon. But until that is possible I may have to either carry on as I am, or put it on hold for a few months.

Thing is when I started at the end of january last year I didn't think id have to many people interested in reading it, and no way did I think I would be looking at 10,000 views in a year. Well that's what its come too, and now I'm wondering if I have bitten of more than I can chew.

I'm writing this having beenawake all night trying to work things out about my life and its been a long darkand lonely time. But suddenly at 7am I find myself blogging, and simething tells me I have to at least try anddo a few more.

There has been somthing in my head for a while now, and although Ive not done much about it, I think I'm going to look into it a little further in 2013. It could be a massive step out in faith, or it could just mean continuing as I am. Either way I'm going to have to have faith God equips me follow his lead

I have some great ideas for this blog, shouldit continue. But if it doesn't I will know that I tried my best and have done what I believe God has asked.

You know I'm not sure God will always give you what you ask, sometimes he has other ideas. But I am sure god gives you direction, and I'm sure if you don't get it or understand he will make It clearer somehow.

There's some things that are just beyond our control. Something's we just can't make sense of right now and others we know are going to change everything. We may even be praying for them not to happen and hope God will fix it all. One thing for curtain is what ever the future holds we're in his hands.
