Job (3): ‘Birthday curses’

Job 2:11-3:26 There is a shallow, superficial type of Christianity which makes out that if we are true believers we should always be smiling, laughing, and overflowing with happiness.

It’s important we recognize this – so we are prepared, should we experience it ourselves; and so we can help others who are suffering.

Christmas carols – Light in the darkness

Luke 1:67-79 Christmas is a dark, cold time of year. It’s the time we get out the lights – candles on tables, fairy lights on trees.

John 8v12 Why are we afraid of the dark? Why is darkness associated with evil? Black magic. The dark side which seduced Darth Vader. Horror films set in the dark. The dark is spooky. And in the darkness our imaginations go into overdrive. The Bible says that spiritual darkness is for real and affects us all. We need light – but we need to choose carefully which light we follow.
