My thoughts and my life

A reminder for today But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5) This weekend Christians all over the world will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. But what does the resurrection mean to you? Do you go to church and then have an Easter egg hunt? Do you celebrate and next week everything is back to normal? I have written to you earlier in the month about Easter versus Passover and what do we really celebrate. For me the risen Jesus has more meaning than just this weekend with the two public holidays. You see the resurrection of our Lord is something I carry with me every day. It is the gospel and the very foundation of our religion.  None of the apostles celebrated easter anywhere in the Bible, instead they risked their lives to carry the gospel to people all over the world facing death and danger at every step of the wa...

A reminder for today Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Genesis 20:3) When in an argument with atheists the flood often arises. People will question the love of God with the flood. So, if your God is love, why did He destroy all those people in the flood? This is a question with a lengthy answer but let me try and break it down to you and if you like you can research the subject more. For now, we need to go back in time before the flood. It all starts in Genesis 6: And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose (verse 1 and 2). These sons of God are angels (As per the book of Enoch) mating with human woman. The result was the Nephilim and the beginning of a corrupted blood line. These are the giants that are in the Bible and I believe that much of the ancient Greek mythology is based on t...

A reminder for today And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32) When confronted with the argument that the earth is billions of years old I often get the ice age question. Glaciers, mammoths, and saber-toothed cats (sometimes called saber-toothed tigers)—those are just some of the things that immediately spring to mind when we think of the Ice Age. But some Christians wonder if there really was an Ice Age. Where does it fit in biblical history? Actually, it’s not biblical creationists who have a challenge explaining it. Secular scientists who propose dozens of ice ages throughout the past have some major hurdles to overcome! So, let me share some ice age facts with you from renowned scientist and creationist Ken Ham. You see, there are many lines of evidence that strongly suggest there was indeed an Ice Age in earth’s history. Now, what you need to form an ice age is much more than just a cold earth....
