There are some comforting verses in the Bible that show God doesn't forget animals.."God.. in whose hand is the soul of every living thing" (Job 12:10)Jesus said:-"God won't forget the death of a sparrow" (Matthew 10:29)To comfort a child (and ourselves) when grieving for a dead pet, it might be...

An offshoot question that could be discussed is - "Should we pray for someone even if they or their family don't want us to?"For example a year or two ago I was surfing the net and happened to enter a computer game site and noticed the boss was saying his wife was seriously ill, needing a...

WHIRLPOOL by MickMany people become unhappy let themselves get sucked into the whirling maelstrom of the crazy world.We can't blame them because the message we get rammed down our throats from childhood by parents, teachers and society is - "You've got to make something of yourself in this life...

ANCIENT SKIES by Mick I'll never forget an incident some years ago, i was sitting at my computer one evening after dark when suddenly it switched itself off and the light in the room went off.At first i thought a fuse had blown, but then i realised the street lamp outside had gone off too.I...

Incidentally there's a free Spaceflight Simulator for download here, I've been dabbling with it for several years and its first rate -http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/I'd go so far as to say its an almost spiritual experience to lift off from Earth, Moon or Mars and see the whole orb slowly come...

Christianity never pretends to offer an easy ride, here's a piece I wrote on the theme -GOLD BERET by MickJust as Army Regiments award the beige beret (SAS), tan beret (US Rangers) and red beret (Paras), so does God award us a gold beret if we pass his test.The only success that matters is...

Which saves, water or Jesus?

Yes mockers...Only fairly recently a lady posted on a British AOL message board announcing how happy she was to have just got married, so most of the Christians on the board immediately began congratulating her, wishing her marriage every success for the future, hoping God would bless them and...

Personally I simply CANNOT respect atheists or nonchristians, for the simple fact they've rejected Jesus and are therefore a million miles away from me in every way.That doesn't mean I'll be hostile towards them, in fact I'd be polite and hospitable, but could never ever want them as...

(tim_from_pa;15214) IMO, I'll vote that it was the rotation of the earth..... Yes that would be easist..Another thing - I wonder if any ancient astonomers (chinese maybe) observed and recorded the phenomenon and wrote it down in manuscripts somewhere?As for most ordinary people, they probably...

YES, always ask for details.. I've been on the message boards and forums long enough to have seen mischievous jokers come along from time to time asking for prayers to "help my relationship with someone I deeply love", only for it to turn out that it's a gay or lesbian couple..Also, someone...

Apart from speculating what the sundial looked like, it's also fascinating to consider exactly HOW God made its shadow go backwards.Did he first stop and then reverse the rotation of the earth?Or did he leave the earth alone but move the sun itself backwards in the sky?Any thoughts?

(kriss;15161) It has been my experience that God touches us all every single day. Its us that suddenly wakes up to realize He has been there all along.... Good point, he touches even atheists, but they don't know it because his loving support is taken for granted and therefore unseen by them...

My own approach is to respect and be friendly to everyone at first acquaintance no matter who or what they are, but if there are certain things about their behaviour or their beliefs that I don't agree with, then sooner or later I will gently point out to them the error of their ways.If they see...

The perfect example of being born again is when the Christian-persecuter Saul was overwhelmed by the holy spirit on the road to Damascus,then changed his name to Paul and became one of the greatest Christians of all.But for most of us,the holy spirit doesn't come all at once like that, rather it...

Here's a little story i've woven around an incident involving a woman we'll call 'Jessica' in Mark chapter 5JESSICA by MickJessica had a good life in ancient Israel, she grew into a fine young woman, got married and had children, and was kind and friendly to all.Like everyone else, she knew...

Okay Pop thanks, some christians believe in OSAS (Once Saved Always Saved) which means they arrogantly think Jesus's sacrifice guarantees them automatic salvation, so they take off their body armour, drop their guard, put their feet up and relax.Satan will have 'em for breakfast, we can almost...

I can't speak for others but I go around the religious forums everywhere just to annoy as many people as I can "If you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing" - Sir Kingsley AmisProblem is I'm not very good at it as my fan mail illustrates -ChildofLight - "So good to read your...
