He who Endures

Posted by Shards ofMe on Thursday, May 12, 2011, In : The Daily Grind 
Matthew 24:13
But he who endures to the end shall be saved

Comforting, yet daunting words, spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ; one who knows all too well the endurance that is needed if we are to survive on, and beyond, this earth. My question is "what is endurance"?

Firstly I think of an endurance race...I think of the Ironman Triathlon. Triathlon was my sport many a year ago (back in 'young' days) so I know some of what it takes to go from one painful experience and straight into another. Why w...

Where will it leave you?

Posted by Shards ofMe on Thursday, May 12, 2011, In : The Daily Grind 

If the person that you look up to and confide in is taken up to be with Jesus at the time of the rapture where would that leave you?

Would you be standing alone? Or would you be enjoying the reward of your faith with them in Heaven? The fact is that when you and your Godly role-model are standing and watching as Jesus comes in the clouds, you will be the last thing on their mind.

Do you ever get those moments in life when you feel like you've fallen off a 10 storey building and landed on the pavement below? Do you ever go through those moments and wonder where God is, and why He isn't helping? I get those moments every day and I often find myself discouraged in my walk with God.

I look back over my life and I see nothing, absolutly nothing, but the hand of God. I look back and see 30 years of absoloute torture, tourment, grief, pain, depression, and hopelessness; but ...

Compromise

Posted by Shards ofMe on Thursday, May 12, 2011, In : The Daily Grind 

What's the very first thing you think when you read this advert?



I dunno what your first thoughts were but the very second that my eyes caught sight of this ad I felt God's still voice saying...

"This is the worlds philosophy"

After recovering from the shock that God had so rapidly spoken into my heart over such a trivial thing, I began to ponder on what this meant. The only word I could think of was "compromise". Am I saying that enjoying some yoghurt which is "apparently" sourced from some q...
