Tug of the Heart

Happy Valentines Day everyone, whether you are single, taken, married or whatever! Hope everyone had an excuse to smile at least once today (we have one everyday in Jesus!) :-)

My one gripe about Valentines Day is the negative comments on Facebook from people. This was my first Valentines with someone this year (none of my previous relationships occurred over Valentines before!) but even in previous years I was happy just to see others be happy with each other. I didn't see the need to be negative.

This year there were a tonne of derogatory comments on Facebook and I realised that many of the comments were just attempts to hide how people really felt, that they did care about Valentines and having someone to share it with but they didn't want to show it. The ones who didn't post anything negative at all were more convincing to be honest ;)

This reminded me of the spiritual struggle we all have but particularly of the ones Atheists have. The Bible makes it clear in Romans 1:18-20 that there is no excuse for those who claim not to know God. Everybody knows there is a God but because they don't want to know Him they fight it.

Every article about Christianity on BBC News is littered with comments from Atheists belittling the faith and the British Humanist Association always seem to get to comment on them (so much for the BBC being down the middle). Why do these guys care so much? If you really don't believe in a God (and they do, they just don't want to admit it) when why does it bother you so much that some do?  Seeing them fight it so much is great proof to me that they really do think there is a God. Those who don't seem to care are a lot more convincing!

Don't fight the truth in your heart any longer, you don't need to...

Jesus : The Truth

John 14:6 -  Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me.


The Gospel of John records Jesus as referring Himself as being the 'Truth'. What does this mean for us?


John 1 describes the 'Word' being with God in the beginning. This passage clearly is referring to Jesus, meaning Jesus was there at creation. The existence of a God is the only way absolute truth can be rationalised and since everything on this earth is created by God, it is sensible to suggest that truth was also created by God. Jesus is the truth because He created the truth.


There are many voices calling out to us in today's world and it probably wasn't too much different in Jesus' time or at any other time. Adverts call on us to buy this and buy that and imply it will make us happy. Richard Dawkins and his Militant Atheist cult tell us there 'probably isn't a God' despite no evidence to suggest that and plenty of evidence to suggest the Universe was created. Peers tell us if only we wear this, or do this or live like this then we will be acceptable and right with the world. Actually, there is only one truth and that truth is Jesus Christ.


Jesus existed (37 records excl. the Gospels, some critical but show He existed!), Jesus died for us, Jesus paid for our sins and through Him we will have life to the full (John 10:10).


Jesus is the true key to peace, contentment, fulfillment and happiness. People who meet Jesus and get to know this rarely, if ever, go back, because it is true!


Don't believe the lies, believe Jesus. But don't take my word for it, take His. Don't trust me, Trust Him!


You can thank me in Paradise.
