Aspects of Christmas? Three.

Debt!

Today many people in the western world are in debt and Christmas has been known to the biggest problem with the easy way to get credit!

Both the lure and the temptation to have nice things for the children and ones self is very hard to resist and thus when the time comes in six months to pay up, there is no money?

The other problem with debt, is going bankrupt, it may clear some if not all depending on the amount, but it leaves you marked as a debtor for life!

This will cause many problems for some in getting even a bank card or proper account, while also being refused a loan and many other unforeseen aspects in the financial world!

God wants us to be sensible people, trusting him rather than wanting the things of this world! One will hear many different takes on this, with some Church leaders dismissing it, as they know better?But we have really at the end of the day stay with what God wants for us and that is always the best!

Matthew 6:12,  18:24,  25:15-28,  Proverbs 22:26,  Luke 7:42. 

New year 2018.

Seasons Greetings and A Happy new Year!

This is another New year and the time when our emergency rooms and hospitals will be filled with people facing terminal illnesses, following the excess of the season in food and drink? 

It is also the time of the year when people will realise that they are in debt, from wanting to buy everyone something for Christmas? Many people are not serious today about being in debt, they think it can all be swept away, but in latter life they may find the essentials that they need will be refused because of their pasts!

This is the same with knowing or not knowing God?

Rational thinking in the Church is blocking off the powerful message of Jesus Virgin birth and the importance to us of who He is!

Isaiah 7:14,  Matthew 6;12,  Luke 1:27,  Romans 3;23, 6;23,  Ephesians 5:8,  2 Peter 2:17.
