I remember being at College in my earlier years of education and I met another student called Gem who befriended me. The entire time, Gem was building up a friendship to try and convert me to Islam. I was brought up in the Catholic Church, but I had not read my Bible in such a long time.   I still loved God, but I had become so caught up in the world that I no longer turned to my Bible. Gem started to tell me things about Islam, and due to me being so far away from the true Word, he almost had me convinced. I was so close to Islamic conversion because he could see I had a love for God that lacked knowledge.  This made it very easy for him to fill in the gaps and manipulate me. I remember going home feeling so confused and feeling so torn. Something just didn’t feel right. I turned to my Bible and received the Word and it reopened my eyes.  I went back to college and told Gem that I was sorry but I could not convert and from that moment on, he never spoke a word to me agai...

  Is a bee not drawn to nectar? A heterosexual not drawn to the opposite sex? Are the birds not drawn to the skies or a philosopher to their thoughts? Is the apple not drawn to the ground and does it not fall far from the tree? And when left to nature, does the apple not then find itself becoming something else?  Does the man with disease not seek a cure?    Or do the hopeless not seek hope? Do the unhappy not long for joy or those in conflict not seek for peace? If you are at peace then it can only mean that you have found God, and if you have found God then you have found eternal life.  Perpetual motion in an isolated system violates the laws of thermodynamics, so it is impossible for something that has moved to be eternal.  This explains why God is the unmoved mover; divine in nature, why God is unchanging, why God is pure love and it’s why you have that love inside of you. The universe is not eternal, just as light is not darkness, left is not right, an...

One of the most common questions that I hear as a Christian is ‘If God is all powerful, all knowing and all loving, then why does he allow so much suffering to happen?   Why is it that he allowed and didn’t stop someone I loved from dying? Or the child that was molested? The woman who was raped?  If He was all powerful, all knowing and all loving then surely He would have known beforehand, used his power to stop these things from happening and this would show us His love for us.”  I have heard many theologians attempt to answer this question, yet many people I come across still feel that this question is unanswered. I know this to be true because I encounter many who still use this argument to this very day. There is a growing resentment towards God and this can only be because many are unsatisfied with the answers they have been given.  The Holy Bible has provided the case clearly as to why these things happen and in order to understand, then you are going to have t...

“For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” - Matthew 16:25 Please Heavenly Father, help me to write these words accurately and with pure intentions as a testament to your existence and glory. Holy Spirit guide me with wisdom so that more people can come to see that Christ is our Lord and Saviour.  We spend most of our lives living inside a house and hoarding material objects. Some we ascribe sentimental value, other things we keep around purely because we are used to having them. This can also be said regarding our aspirations, dreams and hopes for the future.     We find ourselves in a perplexed state of attachment, and when we lose something or something doesn’t go the way we hoped, we begin to panic and find ourselves in a state of despair. It’s interesting how many of the things we hoard, we actually pay very little attention to in every day life.   However, simply knowing it is somewhere there in the back...
