So True!

So true!

Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 2 Corinthians 7:10

Too often our repentance is shallow. We’re sad over the consequences of our actions and upset that we’ve failed to live up to our own standards of good behavior. But genuine repentance goes deeper than that; it involves a sense of grief over having wronged God by sinning against Him.

Our desire should be to please our heavenly Father, not grieve Him. So genuine repentance leads us to forsake the sin and practise obedience. When we humble ourselves and truly repent, the Holy Spirit pours His power and strength into our life. He enables us to turn from that sin in order to walk in obedience to our Lord.

actually now that I think about it, 'Jesus of Nazareth' is the 1st century levant version of 'Greg from Peterborough'

god bless you all :)

“The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress.”

— Joseph Joubert

I hope heaven has mud

A new heaven and a new earth. A world like a garden. With dew and pot-plants and cathedrals and grass. Not less real but more real, fuller, more fleshed out than this one. A tangible world with thoughts and time and relationships and bodies.

I want sunrises! Bread! Clay! Open and utterly and ridiculously unspoilt worship of our creator! Running! Dancing! Life and life to the full!

These and much more. A real, visceral, Godly paradise. Sure, the old order of things will pass away, but we do not just look forward to that. We look forward to the making of everything new!
