What is life all about? Why is the world so full of suffering? What happens when you die? There is clear evidence that shows God does exist and wants a relationship with you – click to read about the evidence!
What is your response to the prospect of the arrival of… Continue reading
We can be guilty of taking the complexity of our bodies for granted. When we look at individual parts it’s breathtaking how they work and the precision in how they operate is often impossible for us to replicate. Many believe these came through slow changes over many years but is this a reasonable conclusion once we understand the intricacy of how many of our organs work?
For example, let’s look at the eye and the ear…
Here’s a short video on how the ear works:
Every sound we hear “sets off a complex chain of events”. The ear has the smallest bone in the entire body, the stirrup, which is… Continue reading
When it comes to Bible prophecy, we often view God as making a prediction and then coordinating events on earth to fulfil it – a bit like a puppet on a string.
One example is Jesus’ birth. Jesus was predicted to be born in Bethlehem, but his parents were settled up in Galilee (80 miles away!). Mary was in the wrong place for Jesus’ birth. She needed to be in Bethlehem, but how was she going get there?
Caesar Augustus caused this to be fulfilled through his census. This census had already been delayed by a few years due to protests in the area. If the census had happened on… Continue reading
This week the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists shared their annual Doomsday Clock update – It is still 90 seconds to midnight. The members “have been deeply worried about the deteriorating state of the world” and believe that “ominous trends continue to point the world toward global catastrophe.”
The trends they state are:
- Nuclear Risk
- Climate Change
- Biological Threats
- Disruptive Technologies
The first 3 are not new but their risks and volatility certainly have increased. War and rumours of wars are one constant on our news channels. Then we witness the number of devastating natural disasters that have been happening globally for a number of years. Whatever we put… Continue reading
The dynamics of an airport are fascinating. Think of air traffic control at Heathrow airport – the coordination involved is mindboggling and there is very little room for a mistake. On a clear day, you can see the planes stacking in vertical lines before they are given the go-ahead to land – planes going in and out constantly, every minute or so. It looks so calm and orderly from a distance. We don’t see the inside of the control room where everything is carefully choreographed, but we know it exists.
Compare that scene to the inside of an airport where things can look unbelievably chaotic! People running around everywhere, frantically… Continue reading
When we are saved, an exchange takes place in the spiritual dimension – we express our belief in the Lord Jesus and in return, we receive eternal life. This is summarised succinctly by Jesus in John 3:16:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NIV)
Commenting about Abraham’s belief in Genesis 15:6, the apostle Paul also makes reference to this exchange in the spiritual dimension:
This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone,… Continue reading
