Verse of the day

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

- James 1:5-6 (ESV)

Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.  Luke 12:2-3

These verses came to mind during the recent ‘Bigot-gate’ incident.  Gordon Brown had been speaking with Gillian Duffy but upon returning to his car and forgetting to turn his microphone off told the world’s media what he really thought of the lady he had just been smiling at!

Bigot-gate’ is a reminder and warning to all of us that a day is coming when the hidden motives and secret thoughts of our hearts and minds will be revealed by God and broadcast for all to hear. That is a very solemn truth for un-believers to consider. The English playwright and novelist William Somerset Maugham must have been considering these things when he wrote:

For my part I do not think I am any better or any worse than most people, but I know that if I set down every action in my life and every thought that has crossed my mind the world would consider me a monster of depravity.

The good news is that Jesus Christ was sent by God to provide a way of sorting out our wicked hearts and minds.

As always we invite you to join us to find out more – a warm welcome awaits.
