Thoughts for the day: 7th Jan 2015

Hello all, just a quickie!

As some of you will know, I like to do my daily readings each day. Despite having very soon published 2 books, I'm not a great reader as I find it difficult processing certain information. That comes from the mild Asperger Syndrome I've had all my life. Anyway, back to the point... This was my daily reading today:

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute" Proverbs 31:8

I felt it really spoke to me, I've previously been a very shy person who was afraid to express himself. I had questions about Christianity that I could not answer because either the wording of the question wasn't clear or my mind was too muddled from bits of information I had picked up here and there. I've felt the size of a pea when I've not been able to answer questions about my own faith. My God who I've given my life to. "Does that make me a bad Christian?" I used to question myself.

These words from a friend have always stuck. I can't quote word for word but it was along the lines of "You don't have to know the Bible inside out to be a Christian, if you believe that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins then that's the most important thing".

It doesn't matter how much we know or how much we don't know. Having faith isn't about who can quote certain passages from the Bible in record time, it's about following God's word and having FAITH.

From experience, I've learned not to get into any discussions because if that person is set in their ways then you're just going to wind them up even more by responding. The best way for others to see how God works is to just follow his word and let the others see for themselves. They might question why you're so content or wonder how you've coped with certain situations. Then they will see God's work.

My thoughts for the day...

Amen and God Bless,

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a blessed CHRISTmas and New Year!

My theology studies are going to continue very shortly but before then I'm finishing off my new book about my experiences with Asperger Syndrome.

My 1st book is called "A New ME" and talks about my struggle so far with the illness Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. The reason I am telling you this is because there is a section in this book which explains how I became a Christian and you'll see throughout the book how God has worked in my life.

You can download it on your kindle for FREE for just another day so even if you don't read it all, just downloading the book is a massive support in helping to raise awareness for this horrible illness.

It's available in ALL countries so I'll post the link to just a few of those where my book's been most popular:

United Kingdom:  http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-ME-Barry-Evans-ebook/dp/B00L1LIT6E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420579028&sr=8-1&keywords=a+new+me+barry+evans
