'Do You Want to be. Part-Two.

In My Gang too.

Put on your TV or Radio today and you will hear plenty about Nationalist, Neo-Nazi gangs roaming the street of Kiev attacking people who do not fit their ideology.

Gangs come in different forms and levels from a group of local thugs to organised crime families.

Many of the organised families were set up with looking after interests and providing legitimate protection.

A normal society does not need any long term gangsterism, because it has the police and a fair legal system.

God wants us to respect and obey the government that we are under, there are exceptions like Fascism which is still prevalent today.

Exodus 23:1, 9,  Matthew 28:18,  Romans 13:1,  Jude 1:8.

'Do You Want to be...Part-One.

in My Gang.

These are the words of a 'Rock song, but the reality today in our cities is that many are joining up as earlyas they can to be in the Gangs.

Being in a Gang, Posse, Crowd has always given the sense of protection, this does stem from the past when most people belonged to the Tribe or Clan.

But there is a great difference between the Tribe and the Gang. The tribe gives identity to a race and culture or family. The Gang has a sinister element, it has loyalty to a leader for bad and not for good.

Jesus had His Disciples or/and followers, an intial 12 plus about 100 others. Today believers in Jesus belong to a Spiritual building and we move in the power of God, not weapons and guns.

Psalm 68:27,  Matthew 5:1,  10:25,  Mark 14:48,  2 Corinthians 12:20,  1 Peter 2:4-5.

Valentine. Part-Two.

Saint Valentine.

All twenty men with this same name are remembered for their works and good deeds. 

Doing good is a good thing to do especially for others, but this does not get us points for heaven.

God wants all peoples to call on Him for their Salvation and not think they can do it another way.

Psalm 51:10,  Romans 7:18,  2 Corinthians 13:7.

Valentines. Part-One.

Love, Romance.

This is the times of the year to post you car to someone that you really like or Love and hope that they send you one too. For others it's the special date, the candle lit dinner or just a box of chocolates and a bunch of red roses.

Many things are occurring in the one day event marked on the 14th February every year, appreciation, love, kindness, and passion. 

But many people forget it all on the 15th, they have had their fun or disappointment! 

God has a love for us too, He showed us this Love through His Son Jesus. The great thing about this Love is that it is unconditional.

God only asks us to have a mental change of attitudes and believe and live in the works of Jesus.

John 3:16,  Ephesians 4:31-32,  5:1-2,  1 John 3:16-17, 4:11.
