Finding direction in life

The River Severn rises in the mountains of Wales, passing by the Powys towns of Newtown, Welshpool and over the border into England. Meandering through Shrewsbury and on to Stourport, Worcester and Gloucester. Here there are inland docks with the commencement of the canal to Sharpness, with its access to the Severn Estuary and the Bristol Channel. The river itself flows on to open out into its famous estuary. It has seen times of substantial waterborne cargoes.

Before the days of steam tugs, hundreds of vessels called trows, either propelled by sail or pulled by horses and men, carried cargoes up to Pool Quay near Welshpool. It was not easy as the river is notorious for being shallow. Crews had to rely upon spring tides  and flood water to keep going. 

It’s all over!

And suddenly, it’s all over!

Once again, after all the adverts, lights, shopping, nativity plays and seasonal films, Christmas is once again behind us and we start talking about “the New Year”. 

It reminds me of my Christmases when I was a boy.  The excitement started building weeks before the big day and the anticipation grew daily until, finally, it was Christmas eve.  As I was packed off to bed, I felt sure I wouldn’t sleep a wink – but I always did.  Then Christmas morning arrived with all the excitement of new toys and, even better, new books.

New Year Challenges & Changes

A new year brings challenges and changes. Can I remind you of some of the more important challenges we may meet in this life, and the changes we need to make to be prepared.

New Year Challenges

A New Year brings fresh challenges and opportunities but life is so unpredictable! At times, the variety life brings can be very exciting but sometimes it’s a bit frightening. That flood in the house, the illness that took us by surprise! The speed of change and our helplessness can be disconcerting! As mere mortals, we cannot control our circumstances and have to try to cope with what is inevitable as well as we possibly can.

One Direction - or are there many ways to God? #onedirection

Are you trying your best to get to heaven or maybe confused due to the wide spectrum of religions?

What about the possibility of there being only one way? Jesus Christ said that there is a broad road which is wide leading to destruction and there is a narrow way which leads to life but only a few people find it! Would you like to be on the right road?

Are you are a good person? Well you may be surprised to know that people who see themselves as good are on the road to destruction! God is not interested in anything you try to do
to be accepted by Him. You can listen to men preach and be religious, you can pray all you like, but whatever is boosting your ego will lead you to hell. 

You see, your way, is not God’s way. Only people who have put their faith in Jesus Christ will get to heaven. Christ died to save people from their sins - He is God’s way! 

Jesus Christ said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” You need to acknowledge your good works are like filthy rags. Forget religions they are all man-made. God wants you to repent of your sin and have faith in Jesus Christ. The way of salvation is open to you today.
