Corrie Ten Boom

Image
Are Jews Gods People In 1940 Hitler invade Holland the Netherlands, the Jews were searched out and taken to concentration camps for extermination. Where was God in all this you may ask!  My answer to you would be, "what possess people to carry out such inhumane acts, has nothing to do with God but the devil" We decide our destinies by the way we live our lives as Christians. This is where my story starts when talking about the Ten Boom Family. My mother talked about Corrie Ten Boom her story was one of love and forgiveness, Corrie traveled the world sharing her testimony about her time in Ravensbruck  concentration camp. Betsie her sister and their Father Casper  were taken from their shop, and imprisoned for having too many 'food stamps'. There real crime was for hiding the Jewish people but they had no evidence to prove this 'crime. It may seem ancient or an old fashioned practice which is so out of date or inconceivable to some people that a race of peo...

This story follows a young boy who has a brain tumor and even though he has had over 30 treatments of radiation he is in good spirits as children usually are . Tyler is so optimistic his friend often visits him by sneaking in through the window, watching this film you can't help but being taken back to the days of your youth, remember them times when you were full of dreams, trusting the future would be bright.

African Childrens Choir

Blessed To Be A Blessing Wales is about to be blessed with a visit from the African Children's Choir who will be singing at the Barry Memorial Hall Theater on Saturday 22 March 2014. The choir is well known for their song 'Sing' which was released for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. In 1993 they were nominated for a Grammy Award in the best Gospel Choir category. They  backed Michael W Smith on his album A New Hallelujah, which is an outstanding CD. The accolades accredited to these children is inspiring to all when you realize that these children are very young and come from a third world country with nothing handed down to them in life. These children bring joy to the hearer they will uplift you with their enthusiasm, the bible says 'its better to give than receive', these children sing with all their hearts. If you get the opportunity to hear the choir you will be blessed. Contact details Graham Ellis (01446) 747 659  

It Is Finished

Image
What Does It Mean For Us When Jesus was on the cross it the bible states He cried "it is Finished" this is found John 19:30. Did Jesus mean that He finished his work  as he stated in John 4:34. In other words was Jesus letting us know He carried His own cross and we must bear our own cross. There is a verse in Matthew 20:23 Jesus spoke to His disciples and said you will indeed drink of my cup. In this statement he was referencing to a personal suffering, which can be recognized by reading  Matthew 26:39 which Jesus ended by saying "Not my will but Thy will" You might wonder why I'm quoting such scriptures. The reason is many people teach a lot of different doctrine but the bible says we should all be on one accord. How can this be if most doctrines contradict other doctrines, could it be because people are teaching when there not called to teach. I would rather be approved of God than put in a position by man. When Paul wrote his epistles he started by ...

The Bible

Image
This New TV Series It is always good to see the bible visually many people have stopped going to church or reading the bible so it was a nice surprise to watch the bible come to life on Channel 5. It was not 100% accurate, never the less to cram the bible into under 10 hours is an enormous task. Genesis to the Acts of the apostles it was captivating for anyone weather a believer or not in the bible. It was good to see an Asian and black angel which to me was an outstanding fact that people of many different looks help to bring an authenticity to the series. Samson has always been my favorite character a man who stood alone trusting God would deliver him from any situation, but as Solomon found out no matter how physically strong a man is a woman can help to keep him strong or bring him to his knees. His character in these series was played as a Rastafarian which I found very interesting considering that Jesus in the west is usually portrayed as a blonde hair blue eyed 30 someth...
