A Discourse

A Discourse

Some may say, for example, watching 'Songs of Praise' on TV

That it can vary - traditional, modern, etc; old, new songs, hymns, choruses, etc

We don't HAVE to watch it every week though!

 

Some Sundays I look at the theme and think, 'Oh no, don't fancy that!'

But recently one was asked, 'What does your faith mean to you in this situation?'

 

Maybe not always talking about the help of faith in times of trouble, but also in things of everyday life.

We can get into 'church-going' as a 'hobby', or just as a social club, but it's more than that, I believe

 

One ditty is: 'Christ and Christianity - a crutch to lean on?' 'No, the ground to stand on!'

The need for a Saviour, so there must be some awareness of sins to be forgiven, or else we say 'What sins?'

A search, and then hopefully finding, a 'thing' or rather 'one', a God, one greater than us as humans

Not cliquey nor a Club to join, but a living relationship with Jesus, God's Son

It's how it is for me - and for millions.

 

Another thing is, though it does not depend entirely on this, is 'Surely some many millions of believers can't be wrong?'

The 'Easter journey' starts again soon

It can be a sort of pilgrimage for us.....

 

End of 'sermon'?! 

'Woof! it's not a sermon', says Fido!

(You knew he'd get a word in somehow)

    "Even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees.

    • orchidee

      Presumably the axe is sharp?!

      • 2781

        Has to be, takes to much effort otherwise.

        • orchidee

          Yes, or else it's like getting nowhere - bashing one's head against a brick wall. In this case, bashing a blunt axe against a tree's roots.

                  Thanks Neville. Ahh, you can beat an egg. Do you actually beat an omelette, or has the beating been done by the time it's an omelette?!
