Month: July 2020

I may be a long way from America, but like so many others, I am deeply saddened by the death of George Floyd, and the rage, hate and violence that has followed.

Yes, we should be mad, and saddened by the ending of Mr. Floyd’s life, but the way some people are acting is not okay. As I watch the terrible scenes on tv, it just looks like insanity.

Black Lives Matter. So do the lives of the unborn, the sick, the old, the disabled. All lives matter because we are all made in the image of God. Jesus died for everyone.

So please, let’s all be kind to each other, and treat others with dignity and respect. We are all broken people, living in a fallen world, in need of a saviour. No one is better than anyone else.

We can do better than this. Let’s spread kindness and…

We are not called for an easy life, but to do all for Christ.

We might have to give up a little, or a lot, but we all have to sacrifice.

Only through God’s strength can we prevail, so don’t give up the race.

It’s not a sprint, but a marathon, so don’t forget to pace.

Thirst for Jesus, and His life-giving water will keep you pressing on.

Live in the Word and live out the Word, and you can’t go wrong.

The road is narrow and the trials sometimes long,

so to all my fellow believers I say, stay strong.
