Theft.
Non of us likes to see things stolen from us, wither it be a burglary or our artists commission and yet many of us make the excuses to do it still.
The bible tells us that we must not steal from others, stealing does not just mean big things. it also means money from mummy's purse or dads wallet.
Theft is the same it is all sin, but God in His mercy says seek Me and I will forgive you through My Son Jesus.

Excuses for... Part-One.
Rioting after Carnival and Celebrations.
The summer bank holiday is next week in Great Britain and it has a traditional reputation for drugs, abuse and conflict with the police. The last few years since 2011 has been calm, but with another murder in Brixton south-London things might boil over.
Street parades and parties usually lead to some form of disturbances, we only have to look at northern-Ireland and Rio in Brazil to see how things can easily get out of hand.
But these are really all just excuses from the start for vice and sin, what they originally were based on were Christian celebrations that in a away have been hijacked and the real meaning long gone.

STAMINA. Part-Two.
Can you keep up with It?
Endurance marks out the calling and the life of Born-Again believer, we are always pressing on for the promised prize. We cannot afford to look back, because we already know our past life is of no worth only Jesus now is our destiny.
Keeping it daily is through reading the bible and applying it in to our own situations, we also pray and study the word to get more strength.
If we do not do these things and retain this knowledge of Jesus Victory in our lives we will fade away and may be in danger of loosing our hope of Salvation. It is tough to be a Christian, because we say, 'No constantly to what the world says it wants.'
Psalm 37:24, 28, Jeremiah 32:40, Hosea 12:6, Matthew 10:22, John 6:39-40, Galatians 5:1.

Copy Cats. Part-One.
Films to Music.
The summer is here again and everyone is out enjoying it when they can, millions each day is being spent on films and music. But out there are a group of people who copy and then either use it to dub their own creations or sell it on.
The problem is twofold, one no permission was given to copyrights and two no income tax was paid in the distribution thus this is theft.
But it is now the same for many things including abuses on the Internet and perfume, money and it goes on. The bible is very clear about stealing and theft that it is wrong and must be avoided. Many who do it think God cannot see them, but He can.
Exodus 20:15, Psalm 50:17-20, Luke 20:24-25, Hebrews 4:12-13.
