Half Truths and down right lie

This weeks Crusaders was about the bible. As I was preparing to talk on the subject I was reminded about one of my primary teachers who told the class that we couldn't completely believe the bible to be true. Why? because over the years people would have told the stories differently so what we read probably wasn't true.

WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH!!!!

It wasn't until I as about 14/15 that I understood how wrong this is*. Though now all my fellow class mates will most probably believe that the bible can't be trusted, worrying.

Also people think the bible as a load of dos and don't s which is sort of true though the reason the bible is written like that is because God created us and knows the best way to live. So peoples ideas about the bible are marred by a half truth.

Being an adult with Children and other uninformed people is such an awesome responsibility. I pray that anyone who reads this will make sure they tell the truth to impressionable people!!!


* The bible we read today is almost no different from the original manuscripts which date back to around 100AD.

The Return

I haven't blogged in so long, apologies to those people who read regularly!

The past months have been interesting and eventful:

I've turn 19 (woooo), the football team won the league and came runner up the the cup, finished the first year of University, been on my first proper camping trip and much more I can't remember. So I hope to start blogging regularly again, giving people entertainment, food for thought and a little about me!!!

Have a look here for some the pics from the camping trip: Fort William - Corrour :D

Also, here is a video of a Christian band called Leeland. My good friend Johnny recommended them and this track "Tears of the Saints" really touched me lyrically:


There are many prodigal sons
On our city streets they run
Searching for shelter
There are homes broken down
People’s hopes have fallen to the ground
From failures

This is an emergency!

There are tears from the saints
For the lost and unsaved
We’re crying for them come back home
We’re crying for them come back home
And all your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

There are schools full of hatred
Even churches have forsaken
Love and mercy
May we see this generation
In it’s state of desperation
For Your glory

This is an emergency!

Sinner, reach out your hands!
Children in Christ you stand!
Sinner, reach out your hands!
Children in Christ you stand!

And all Your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home
