"Those that earn money earn it to put into a bag with holes" - Haggai ch.1 v.6
Sound familiar?
It's a quote from the Bible, written a long time ago. God was explaining that life can seem very futile. We are sure the description is a good one for what we are told is the current "Credit crunch" or perhaps even better a definition of inflation.

"Every man did that which was right in his own eyes" - Judges ch.21 v 25
Sound familiar?
This is what we see so often around us, it amounts to selfishness and a total disregard for God, His laws and guidelines or even the norms of society.
You would think that the Creator could be relied upon to give advice to the creature but so many of us think that we can "go it alone"

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself" - Matt ch. 33 v 37/39
Sound familiar?
This is a stunning verse and the Lord Jesus Christ put it forward as the best, most successful way to live.
Maybe you have tried lots of things and been disappointed.
Perhaps you think you know what the Bible has to say. God had the Bible written to guide us through life, and to tell us about the great sacrifice His Son made in coming here to live as a perfect man.
Why?
So that He could die on the cross as a perfect man.
Why?
To take away the sin of the world, so that those who believe on him and trust in Him could be made perfect.
Why would He do that?
Because He loves those who have done wrong to be made right, and wants them to be in heaven with Him.
Perhaps you could look again at the message of the Bible. It is the most relevant book ever written.
If you don't have a Bible and would like one, free of charge, please get in touch.
If you do have one and have taken it off the shelf to have another look, may we suggest that you start to read in the New Testament, possibly the Gospel of John. Then it would be great if you got in touch to let us know what you think.
