Difficult Times

First I must apologise for my inconsistency in writing my blogs – the spirit was willing but the flesh has been weak ! My only excuse has been a difficult two years that brought physical and mental inabilities to do what I would have liked to do and the loss of my son, which I must say was softened by the fact that I know he is now with the Lord.

Nothing happens to the Christian by chance – it all has a purpose, even if we can’t see it at the time. The Lord is faithful and will not suffer us to be buffeted and tried more than we can bear : 1 Corinthians 10:13. One thing I do know is that I’ve had to learn to have patience [ a fruit of the Spirit] and instead of trying to work out the how? myself – the answer has been , as always, to trust the Lord for it! To see that I seriously need patience is only the beginning and to realise the answer is in trusting the Lord for it instead of failing and feeling sorry for myself, is the way of the Spirit. ” He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the Day of Christ.” Phil 1:6 You’d have thought I would have learnt that after all these years mm? But it ‘s the age old battle of the flesh and spirit isn’t it?

I used to have the notion that once learnt never forgotten – silly me ; I keep getting reminded that life’s current challenges can still stir up my old ways and I must still learn how to walk in the Spirit and let the Lord produce the fruit of patience in me. And that’s just as it should be – therein lies the joy in believing. Romans 15:3 When it is a deliberate and conscious choice on our part to trust Him , He does indeed make a way of escape for us. He answers us in gentle, simple and heart-warming ways – at least, that has been my experience, and you just know He cares for you and will get you through no matter what. We are more than conquerors! Romans chapter 8 is just glorious to read.

See you next time dv, Eileen

Change of Blog Title

Many changes have happened to my life in the last several years which have prevented me from writing as I would have liked. Old age has made me try to adapt more and my hope is that I haven’t bitten off more than I can chew! I confess, my two biggest faults [ or are they sins?] are impatience [especially with the technology of blog-writing] and procrastination [ when I draft something and then talk myself out of it!] but at least I am more aware of when I’m committing them – I think ….

I can’t claim to be an expert in anything, but I do have opinions about many things and I do like to write about them, so I guess this blog is , sort of, therapeutic for me as well as , I hope, sharing things that people may not know about, or, on the other hand , they could put me right about. Polite discussion is a good thing, however strongly the views held.

From a Christian viewpoint I hope to show that this old sinful, fallen world is following God’s prophetic word and all that happens is in His ultimate control, even though , to the unbeliever , it all appears to be out of control.

So the emphasis now is likely to be more on what’s going on in the here and now with my own take on what’s going on – the aim being to get at the real truth, which has always been important to me.

God bless you, Eileen

The SHOT: Possible Religious Exemption …

Pastor Bill Randles Blog

My Son Samuel, is an attorney and for friends, has written the following request for exemption, to use in work situations. I can’t guarantee it will work, but he puts the issues well and succinct. I asked for permission to post this and he granted it…

To whom it may concern: I am writing to notify you of my religious and philosophical objections to the COVID-19 vaccine, and to request a reasonable accommodation and exemption on the basis of those objections. 

As a Christian, I believe that all life is sacred and bears the image of God.  Consequently, I believe that the act of abortion is deeply immoral.

I cannot in good conscience receive any vaccine which uses, benefits from, is derived from, or is in any way connected to fetal cell lines. For me, to receive the vaccine would be to endorse and turn a blind eye to what…

What Happened To Cause The Exile?… Noahide error

Another excellent article from Pastor Bill Randles

Pastor Bill Randles Blog

Between 70 AD and 120 AD, The Jewish people were driven out of the Holy Land, and the Nation of Judea was extinguished. The Jews would remain in exile, for almost two thousand heartbreaking years. Why? What happened two thousand years ago that brought this heartbreaking circumstance about?

The Land of Israel was given to the seed of Abraham ,Isaac and Jacob, by none less than God himself, in an unconditional covenant.

Now the LORD had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.

I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.

I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”(…

MY way or the HIGH way?

What's Happening...?

Soon, the way the world is heading, Christians will have a stark choice: go along with the nonsense of the thrilling world-healing plan (that is man-made and excludes the return of Jesus Christ) or stay true to the bible plan of salvation – faith that leads to a heavenly destination.

Old Heresies Repurposed for Today’s Delusion

What's Happening...?

This post contains an audio of an interview with guest speaker Constance Cumbey, noted researcher into the New Age and heresies in the Church.  Here she updates her former research by telling us that she sees the same teachings in the QAnon and related movements today.

Go direct to the interview and read the post later

This is no surprise to bible students, since the age-old plan to trick humanity into handing over the government of the planet to a wise and powerful messiah-figure never really varies. Only the terminology changes.

The Psychology of godlessness… Romans series

Pastor Bill Randles Blog

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,who hold the truthin unrighteousness…” (Romans 1:18)

The Gospel doesn’t begin with man and his need for salvation, it begins with God, His Glory and His wrath against sin.

The apostle tells us that the wrath of God; that is His ceaseless, active and fierce opposition to everything that is wrong, evil, perverse or false, is being revealed from heaven against man every single day.

The way God’s wrath is daily being revealed is in the steady degeneration of society, the “giving over”of society to ever grosser and more degrading forms of sin.The moral and social self-destruction that we are seeing today is an ominous manifestation of the Wrath of God. Abortion, homosexuality, the culture of death, and Nihilism are what God has given our generation over to, by allowing the natural…
