Why I Believe

I had a little guy in my office today.  He was struggling with believing that there really was a Jesus and a heaven and whether he really could trust the Bible.  We talked for a while about why we should trust something.  For me it really comes down to one answer.  If the Bible is trustworthy in the things I can check, then I trust it to be trustworthy for the things I can't check.


This picture is of one of the caves of Qumran where the dead sea scrolls were found.  Before their discovery, so-called scholars believed that the Old Testament had been gradually revised and edited to come up with the text that we have today.  However, the scrolls found in these caves which had been hidden away for 1900 years, show that the text we have is virtually identical to the text Jesus had all those years ago.

The Lord's Prayer

"This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven" and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed by thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." ----Charles Spurgeon

My Sheep

I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.  I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV)   This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland.  The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
