The amazing disappearing blog!

Jeremiah 44:24-47:7

2 Timothy 2:22-3:17

Psalm 94:1-23

Proverbs 26:6-8

There have been no blog posts for the last few days as we have been travelling through Scotland and have had fairly erratic internet access. The flat we are now staying in is probably the only internet dead-zone in the whole of Leslie.

"Pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.

 23 Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. 24 A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people."

This advice from Paul seems so obvious that it barely seems to be worth saying. But what he is speaking about is the effect that being a Christian, dedicating your life to being a follower of Jesus should have on you. You should change and become a much nicer person.

Jesus said the same sort of thing, "by their fruit will you know them." I read a passage like the one in 2 Timothy and think, how much has all this changed me? Does it continue to change me? A faith that didn't change people from the inside out wouldn't be worth following.

This post took forever to put together on my phone so expect few enough posts over the next week and then come Monday normal service should resume.
