We All Need God
Posted by Simon in Uncategorized on April 13th, 2009
So the final instalment on anger (I promise something lighter in my next few blogs)So as the title says we all need God and there isn’t anything we can do to change that, we were made to have a relationship with him you can accept that or run from it but life and for that matter death doesn’t work without God. We can now know God, Jesus died on the cross not just as an act of love, it was an act of love but also to take care of the barrier which separates us from God. We need God, we can know God but we need to make that choice. I am not talking about religion here, don’t get religion it’s boring we’re talking about Jesus he’s risen he’s alive and he wants to step into our lives. For this we were born and now there’s an opportunity to respond, with our eyes open to the challenge saying yes I’m a Christian who got stuck I want to move on.
I’ll show you angry
In my last blog I started a series on anger and the sense of being dispirited or depressed that can be caused by unresolved anger, as a example I looked at 2 Sam 6-8 and how David had got angry with God and reacted to that anger rather than responded.
Not all anger is wrong the Bible say, “Be angry but do not sin” Eph 4:26. There are something’s we should be angry about; when we hear there are 10,000 child prostitutes in the world we should be angry, to greet such news with a sense of bland passivity is inappropriate, why are we angry at that? Because we care, because we love. God gets angry he’s never flying of the handle and never out of control but his wrath is a sign of his love. Why does God get stirred with us sometimes? Its because he cares about us so much. Read the rest of this entry »
