Answered Prayers!

Not to be taken Lightly!

1 Kings 8:49, Psalm 86:7, Proverbs 28:9, Matthew 6:7, Acts 2:42, 2 Corinthians 1:11, Revelation 8:3.

Many people pray and think nothing more about what they have done, some hope others do it out of ritual or traditions? But we can say it has worked after three weeks of coughing sneezing and two more weeks of other problems, we are hopefully back on form?

God says he hears us when we pray and prayer is not always hands or actions, but rather thoughts in our mind and words from our hearts!

'Oh God help, 'I'm in trouble, 'One or we cannot cope with this or that?

It is God who knows if we are genuine in what we are saying or not and He will answer us in His right timing!

Many Thanks.

Meeting the Ancestors?

All Hallows/Halloween!

Nearly every culture around the globe has something similar at some point of the year, where there folklore has to deal with the living and the dead and some form of contact being made? This time of the year was dreaded in the belief of meeting the ancestors, especially if you were a murderer since all would be revealed?

Today the Christian festivals of All Hallows and Halloween have been hijacked by commercialism and the message of Jesus light over the powers of the devil lost in the fun and fireworks?

But Jesus did defeat Satan at the temptation in the wilderness and finally at the cross and Jesus resurrection from the dead for all of us who have been set free from darkness into our New Life relationships with Him!

Psalm 18:5,  Matthew/Levi 4:1, 10:28,  John 8:12,  9:5,  12:46,  2 Peter 2:4.

False Believers. Two.

Signs that Trouble!

We can generally see the people who are amongst us because of their ways and attitudes that trouble us? Gambling, smoking, taking narcotics, adulteress, swearing, late for services, and out before they can be met at the door?

These are some of the many issues, others are gossipping, and not being able to keep confidentiality are the worst? Because they leave accusations and they hurt people in a real bad way, that could lead to worse such as mental health issues or that they loose their faith?

We have great responsibility as believers in the house of God, to share and help each other? The structures of organisation are there, because over the last two-thousand years they have been developed to give a guideline and hope to us to grow, pray, commune, witness and teach others!

Psalm 94:20,  Acts 2:42,  1 Corinthians 1:9,  Ephesians 5:11,  Philippians 1:5,  1 John 1:7.

Direspect. Part-Two.

Hispanics?

It is easy to point the finger, when you have the money and security in life at other people who may be less fortunate than you? It is easy to brag about the size of your proverbial barns and tomorrow drop dead!

George Bush is correct in what he has said in relation to what is happening by these divisive moves in the States today! One man is so hypocritical and inward looking that he is destroying his own nation, in front of all who put him there into office?

This political incorrectness is much more common amongst governments than meets the eye? We see it in the U.K., Russia, China, across Africa, the Middle-East, Israel and all over the place?

But one day all of these people, wither they believe in Jesus or not will have to give their account to God!

Matthew/Levi 12:36, Romans 14:2, Hebrews 13:7, 1 Peter 4:5.

Monday 9 October 2017

False Believers. One.

Wolves in sheep's Clothing?

The Apostle Paul tells us than in his travels he met many false believers and we to will also meet them! We see many false Christians in the media, in government, even in Christian programming and we need to be vigilant!

Because these are the people who will deliberately lead us astray into other teaching that sound justified, but if they do not match up to what God and Jesus His son has to say we would be wise to avoid them?

The Bible warns us about wolves and peoples in the last days disobedient to God and wanting to fulfil all their desires! It is hard to be a follower of Jesus, we have the victory despite sometimes it can be very hard!

Matthew 7:15, 24:11, Acts 20:29, 2 Corinthians 11:13, 26, Galatians 2:4, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 1 Timothy 1:3.

Value of People. Part-Two.

From Las Vegas to Baghdad?

There is a big difference here between the value of people, because in Vegas they are worth more that in Iraq? This is a fact of the way humanity classifies the races and nations in this world, from the advanced western to the simplest in Africa and other natives!

But God sees all of humanity as fallen and sinful, that is why He gave us His one and only son Jesus to die for our failures!

Today we see that the U.S. President is not a racist in relation to the NFL, while he thinks the Hispanics are lazy losers? He is hoping soon to Nuke N-Korea and this Las Vegas situation is going to be political ammunition for him to become more popular at the cost of black people in the United States!

At the end of the day he too, will have to give an account to God wither he believes in Him or not!

Exodus 17:14,  Matthew 12:36,  Luke 12:7,  24,  Romans 14:12.

Disrespect. Part-One.

Do you get the feeling that Trump does not like Black People?

In fact does he really like anyone at the Apprentice showdown tower in New York, when daily people are fired? Sadly one has to admit many of them like Spence were total idiots, when it came to major historical events!

The new news headline at the moment is his attack on the NFL and his belittling of American football and Baseball as boring games? This attack comes because he cannot get what he wants with Obama care and so he is indirectly attacking the Black Lives Matter movement!

It is sad to see politicians and leaders come to power and not be able to maintain it or to deal with people and their needs?

Men are blinded by wealth, success and selfishness, they will brag and boast and if you read the bible you will find many evil people there who had a high opinion of themselves and alas they hung themselves!

Matthew 2:1-19,  Luke 16:13,  Esther 9:13-24.

Monday 18 September 2017

Value of People. Part-One.

The value of Life!

This is a great humanitarian statement that you will hear again and again in the media, by government and politicians alike? But when it comes down to the one person level the term is lost in the crowds of misery!

So here now we see the human condition of inherited sin at work, when bias and prejudice come into focus! Following the ravages of hurricane storm Irma across the Caribbean, N-Cuba and Florida, western journalism (British) began to play down the effects of this massive storm to justify the responses of their government?

The value of people by some empire builders is still based on white wealth and investments, over the ex-no native black population? This is a world-wide problem as much in poor nations, across the Muslim and Communist world too.

Genesis 29:20, Psalm 4:2, Galatians 5:13, Ephesians 4:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:13, Philemon 1:7, James 2:5.

Monday 11 September 2017

Irma and 9/11.

Today is the 16th Anniversary of 9/11!

Meanwhile as one disaster is remembered another is ending hopefully with the monster storm Hurricane Irma, which has killed well over 50 people so far across the Caribbean and Florida?

Irma has been bad, but it has ben nothing like this eventful day in New York 16-years ago, which left over three thousand people dead, when two commercial airlines where hijacked and crashed into the twin towers!

Many people will ask why, why do these things happen? Some are the results of bad foreign policy and broken promises, while other could be blamed on the continued ignorance of burning fossil fuels that are messing up our weather?

These things are bad, but what is even worse is not knowing God and Jesus of Christmas came to set all free from the darkness!

Deuteronomy 29:22,  31:17,  Proverbs 3:25,  Jeremiah 16:10,  Luke 13:4.


Monday 4 September 2017

NAZI-America. Part-Two.

Will it happen?

For a moment we thought that it would, but words and statements have been backtracked upon? N-Korea and bad relations with Russia, while the floods in both Texas and Louisiana will cover this political disaster for a time the problem does remain?

Now that two police officers have been suspended for claiming they only kill blacks and that they cannot cope with people explaining something one knows that America is still a bad place?

We can claim to be something on the outside, like the Pharisees in Jesus days, when they were truly rotten within?

Matthew 3:7,  9:11, 12:12,  Mark 10:2,  Luke 11:39,  53, John 12:6,  James 4:8.

Criminal Activity. One.

Acid Attacks!

Years ago the term for acid was related to narcotics and other mind bending drugs, but today in London, U.K. it has become a weapon for cowards to leave people many innocent scarred!

The selfishness of being challenged or confronted for doing wrong is now excused by this cheap form of revenge, something that needs to be considered in the later years for criminals who turn to God?

What is now accessible as a cleaning agent, will soon be banned and the legitimate use of fighting vermin which is a growing problem in our overcrowded cities will not be available?

Exodus 32:30,  Joshua 24:20-21,  Job 20:21,  Hebrews 11:39.

Monday 21 August 2017

The value of Women? Part-Two.

Worth nothing in Islam?

This is the impression that one gets in relation to the recent terrorist attacks in Europe and Russia? In fact British TV is airing The State, based on the experiences of four young people who join Islamic State and in this film women must end their western-ideas for complete Sharia?

In Sharia the women is worthless, if she falls to adultery she is to be killed by stoning to death! Even if she was lead astray by the male or raped, she must still die? In the film there are claims of seventy two woman for every man?

But this is all contrary to the teaching of the Bible, even in the Old Testament! Proof and decisions  must be made by the courts before and stones are cast! The Jews got it wrong when Jesus asked them to cast the first stone, because they did not keep the Law that they claimed to believe in?

John 8:7,  Deuteronomy 17:6,  Psalm 15:16-20.

Tuesday 15 August 2017

NAZI-America. Part-One.

Presidential Attitude?

One had hope yesterday that the words of the U.S. President were genuine in his condemnation of white supremest violence in Charlotteville, Virginia?

But when the Black business man resigned his position in protest to those riots and the death of three, DJ Trump showed his colours by accusing him of being a black crook!

Today the United States of America is in so much big trouble, that one knows that N-Korea need not fire any missiles at Guam? 'We will take back America! Means we will look back past Obama and Martin Luther-King, to them Good Ole days?

Most of what is coming out of the new administration is not sounding real Christian, but its rather the religious twisted ideology of the Ku Klux Klan and all those other groups represented in the Republican administration?

Genesis 4:5,  Ruth 2:10,  Psalm 138:6,  Proverbs 22:6,  Luke 17:18,  Acts 28:2,  1 Corinthians 14:11,  Ephesians 2:19,  Colossians 3:11,  James 2:3, 1 Peter 5:5.

Monday 7 August 2017

Thirsty? One.

Needing a Drink?

People long ago in Europe made mead or beer to drink, mostly in towns and cities where the water was dirty? People washed their cloths and bodies in the water, but out I the sticks many had seasonal wells of fresh water, while everything else was done in the streams and rivers or on the boiling pot.

Jesus asked a Samaritan woman at the well for a drink and promised her Eternal Life, this fact in human history has not stopped yet and you are being offered that same water to refresh your mind and heart to know you failures and too repent of them!

Psalm 107:35,   John 4:14,   Isaiah 12:3.

Monday 31 July 2017

'Fake News?'

Who is telling it?

One U.S. president has come up with this term on his media services, re his election to office? But the truth is he is as much to blame, as his own media? All media services are advised by their governments on what they can and cannot report? Degrees of freedom change from country to country to the point of being closed and controlled!

The world will tell you there is No God, religion, Church going, is either rubbish or a waste of time? This is the real fake news, the denial of a loving unconditional God and His compassionate son who died on the cross to free us from our sins and rose from to dead to set us free and allow us entry to Heaven!

Psalm 40:9,  45:1, Proverbs 15:30,  Isaiah 40:9,  61:1, Matthew/Levi 11:15,  Luke 1:19,  Acts 8:12,  Romans 10:15, Hebrews 4:2,  6,  1 Peter 1:12,  25.

Monday 24 July 2017

Marked Out?

Tats or You Tube?

Gangs were once known by their Tattoo's today it is their insulting and provoking videos on You Tube, because the mobile phone has replaced identity? Identification, provoking and insulting other to rise a confrontation is not good in the first place, but surprise surprise others who see may be tempted to come in and start their own turf wars?

God forbids those who trust in Him to mark themselves by inking, painting or cutting their skin! It is only mentioned once, and that is perhaps enough for us to get the message? The world who do not believe in God now don't care, but when you do it will cost you much pain to get them removed!

God has laws set in place, despite His unconditional love for us! He always wants the best for us to stop being silly and get on in life doing something that is responsible and caring for others!

Leviticus 19:27-28, Exodus 23:1, Luke 1:53, John 3:15-21, Romans 3:22-23, 6:22-23, Hebrews 10:24.

Monday 17 July 2017

The value of Woman? Part-One.

Society and Woman!

Everyday we hear about the undervalue of the role of the woman in our societies, woman are attacked on many social networks by men with filthy language and then they term it banter! It is the woman's role to give birth to all people living today, we call this our mothers.

Many men abuse their partners and wives, if not also their mistresses? They see no value in woman, as nothing more than a sex object? Then one has to wonder in what way do they see their female relatives, aunts, sisters and mothers, grandmothers?

The bible tells us that woman was made for man, because no other creature in the created order was suitable as a partner! We are told about the several dispensations in relation to woman in the bible from the Old Testament to the New, wither they are single, virgins, married or widowed!

Genesis 2;18,  25:6,  2 Chronicles 11:21,  Exodus 22:16,  Daniel 5:23,  Matthew 1:23,  5:32,  Psalm 68:5,  Luke 20:47,  1 Timothy 5:16,  Titus 1:6.

Monday 10 July 2017

Prayer?

Many Kinds!

God is not limited to hearing us cry out to Him, to give thanks, to praise Him! Humanity likes to jeer God and make Him small and far away, to undermine the people of faith as nutters, weaklings losers?

Prayer does help in our times of need, wither we are praying for our own situation or that of another!

Born-again believers know already that our relationship with God, through Jesus His one and only Son allows us to see the miracles, the impossible at work all the times and everyday!

Our God is near and not limited, He answers in His time and He gives what is needed to meet each situation!

Genesis 13:8,  19:7-8,  Exodus 10:17,  Job 42:8,  Psalm 5:2, Matthew 6:9,  Romans 8:26,  2 Corinthians 13:7,  2 Thessalonians 3:2,  Hebrews 13:8,  3 John 1:2.

Life and Death?

Medicine does not have all the Cures?

It big news at this time about a little baby, who is being kept alive by a machine at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). But others believe there is the possibility of a cure in the U.S. that is worth following through?

We so much need hope today in this world, hope that life will be lived over that of death and murder! The youth are killing themselves over crap rivalry and listening to music that is neither cultural or inspiring!

We all need to have our faith in God, to believe in the impossible to know that we are cared for and loved by God who gave us His one and only Son! So that we would be set free from the darkness of this life into the hope of the New Life!

John 3:3,  15-16,  31-36,  Proverbs 8:30,  Philippians 2:9-11.

A New kind of People. One.

Not what we Where?

It can be hard for many who believe and then go to fellowship, only to find people still gossipping as they were in the world?

James (Ya'akov=Jacob) warns believers that we cannot carry on now like we were before, salt and fresh water cannot come from the same spring! There are a few other illustrations that one could search for this week and have a bit of bible study, that relate to we cannot be hot and cold?

If we claim faith in Jesus, we must walk in His ways and no longer in the ways of this world!

James 3:5-9,  Matthew/Levi 6:24,  Luke 16:13.

Monday 19 June 2017

U.K. At War with Islam.

A united humanitarian Front?

The truth is that Britain and its various religious leaders like to keep up the front of unity, when the reality is far worse than meets the eye? The world will either be rational or ritualistic in believing that humanity covers over hatred?

The truth is far harder to bear, British and most western policies are now clashing with the Middle-East! The Internet and mass immigration has caused local frictions, but when a young man detonated himself in Manchester killing twenty-two mostly woman and young children a door was opened to sectarian warfare!

This morning another fanatic has tried to mow-down Muslim worshippers at the notorious Finsbury Park Mosque, if not also the fire at the Grenfell tower-block inferno was not also a backlash attack?

As believers we must not allow politics, or nationalism one kind or another to influence us? We must stay clear of the leaven of hypocrisy and the rationalism of wickedness!

Leviticus 2:11, Matthew/Levi 10:6, Romans 3:22-24, 6:22-23, 1 Corinthians 13:6-7, James 2:19-25.

Monday 12 June 2017

In times of Trouble? Two.

Believers have it Tough!

The world always thinks to be a Christian, to be born-again is for the losers, the weak? But we know that the truth. it is the world who are the weak, cowardly losers!

This is proved by their refusal to believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus, the forgiveness of their sins by a merciful God, who they need to repent too, as once we too did!


It is hard to be a believer, because we will get troubles from the darkness of this world and Satan! But we have the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, who strengthens us daily to rebuke the devil in Jesus name to pray for others, to forgive them and to love without hate!

It is a tall order, but its rewards far outstretch anything this world could ever give us!

Ephesians 3:16,   Matthew/Levi 6:13,   Philippians 4:13.

Monday 5 June 2017

PENTECOST!

For Believers Only!

This is the truth, it is only we who know that Jesus has forgiven and forgotten our past sins are given this power of the Holy Spirit to comfort and help us walk with God!

The world can claim many things, as it does along with its false teachers even in the Christian Churches? They push homosexuality today, while they hide their paedophilia? Dishonesty, theft, and the breaking of many rights for their own financial gains all done in the name of God!

But we are beyond that, by choice and because of what Jesus has done for us we desire now to please Him and see others come to the truth that we know!

Isaiah 53:12,  Luke 16:15,  John 16:7,  Acts chapter 2,  Romans 8:34,  Ephesians 3:14-19.

Monday 29 May 2017

In times of Trouble? One.

What a friend we Have!

Our world and our nations are under attack from a ruthless army, who attack soft targets to maim mostly woman and children and also Christians! These are the big men of the Islamic State, who are proving their cowardliness to us now!

But we know that their are many evil forces at work, who are equally cruel in vice and trafficking, blackmail and extortion? All is not lost, if we know that we have a friend like Jesus in our hearts and lives!

He is the one who gives us the daily hope to go on, despite all that both Manchester, Westminster Bridge and the attacks in Egypt are costing in death, destruction and emotional breakdown. We who believe knows that our God never gives up on us, because 'We have a friend in Jesus, such a precious friend!

Proverbs 17:17, Luke 11:12, James 2:23.

Monday 22 May 2017

Leaving and Returning!

Some (believers) Forget?

Even people of faith can allow themselves to get caught up in tradition of holidays like Christmas and Easter and forget that their faith in God has much more to offer?

Jesus Ascended back to Heaven and Angels said, 'He would return again in the same way!'

Jesus is coming back to collect the Ekklesia, Bride of Christ or family of God at the end of the Age!

We must be ready for that great and terrible day, when the sky as we understand it will be opened to reveal the mighty armies of Heaven descend to Earth?

Acts 1:2-11, John 14:3, 2 Thessalonians 1:10, Revelation 1:7.

Monday 15 May 2017

The Spiders Web!

The INTERNET.

These last few days has seen an unprecedented attack on the Internet and older operating systems by unknown hackers or so we are being told?

Technology is a great thing, we have a plethora of gadgets today and in the last 30 years there has been a revolution! The Internet brings education, entertainment and communications today right into our hands via the mobile phone.

But as we are seeing there is a cost to everything, because a system is easy to work with and is old, does not mean it will continue to be patched up with new fixes?

The bible warns us about trusting in things and not in God, it also tells us not to sew new patches to old garments? But rather we should be wise in our need of storage and buy new things that are present!

Judges 16:13-14, Job 8:14-15, 27:18, Isaiah 59:6, Matthew 7:26-27, Mark 2:21-22, Luke 5:36-37.

Monday 8 May 2017

500+

Witness of the Resurrection!

People are canny today when it comes to being a witness, they either know how the play the system that requires numbers or they like the police make up false statements to twist things to suit themselves?

But over five hundred people say Jesus risen from the grave over a period of forty days, and Jesus said to sceptical Thomas what you see, many will believe without ever seeing!

So the ball is now in our court and we have heard it all before, OMG I don't believe?

Isaiah 53:9-12,  Mark 16:12-13,  Luke 24:13,  John 20:24-26,  1 Corinthians 15:6.

Monday 1 May 2017

1st May.

A day for the Workers?

Today many people who work for these plethora of the many gig economy companies are actually more worse off than their ancestors one hundred years ago?

19thCentury socialism fought for the rights and equality of the workers, who had been exploited by their bosses throughout the Industrial revolution.

But today there remains several totalitarian governments who are enslaving their people, because they have taken socialism to the extreme and thus they have reverted to the denial of many other freedoms!

God calls for believers in business to be fare, show concern and be compassionate to their workers situations!

Exodus 6:9, Psalm 71:4, Ecclesiastes 10:13, Malachi 1:4, Matthew 15:37, 1 Corinthians 8:13, Colossians 3:12, 1 John 3:17.

Tuesday 25 April 2017

Easter. Part-Three.

Risen from the Dead!

Jesus said that he would die and rise from the dead on the third day, and he did! He was seen by well over five-hundred people between His resurrection and His Ascension back to Heaven, over a forty-day period.

Doubting Thomas is one proof, the broiled fish is another that he returned to us in the same body and was neither a ghost of some lofty Spirit! Jesus was the same flesh and blood as He always was, both fully the perfect, sinless man and God!

Now we come to the facts of faith-trust in relation to the resurrection of Jesus, because some cannot believe this to be a truth? Without understanding this key area of our salvation, we will not be delivered from the darkness of sin! In it we died with Him and rose with Him into the Eternal New Life!

John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4, 12-13, 1 Thessalonians 4:14, 1 Peter 1:3, 8.

Easter. Part-Two.

Jesus perfect and sinless Man!

Jesus chose of His own free will to go to the cross/tree/stake for our purchasing back to God! He was the perfect sacrifice, much better than any animal that had been offered since the days of Abel, Tabernacle and the Temple!

Blood had to be always shed for the remission of sins on everything, we see this on the door posts before the Exodus from Egypt by Moses, we see it in nearly every sacrifice that was offered to God!

But now Jesus died taking our sin on His body and removing past failure, allowing us into a New Life with Him and His father!

Exodus 12;13,  29:20,  Matthew 26:28,  Luke 22:20,  Acts 20:28.

Easter. Part-One.

He died for Me?

Easter is about the death and resurrection of Jesus, that baby that we celebrate the birth of Christmas each year! But in history there were thirty-three years between these two most pivotal moments in human history.

Jesus came to set sinners free from the grip of Satan, who has a hold on humanity since Adam fell eating the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden! But God always promised that he would send a Saviour to rescue man from his inherited condition!

For God so loved the world, that he gave for us Jesus His one and only son. John 3:16.


Tuesday 21 March 2017

Apostacy. Two.

Lacking Empathy?

One knows something is seriously wrong when people who claim to be Christians cannot forgive or forget their enemies, on the other hand they may choose another equal cause and have an alternative hatred towards another community?

This is something that we are seeing with the situation in N-Ireland brewing up again, we see it daily to in many other places such as in the U.S. police against the Black communities. There is a lack of care, because they are not like us why should we care about them?

Look what they have done to us over the years, how can one forgive them for all that? This reveals that these so called Christians are like a white washed wall pretty on the outside and respectable but full of hatred and wickedness on the inside!

Proverbs 17:9, Luke 17:4,  2 Corinthians 2:7, Hebrews 12:15, James 5:15.

Monday 13 March 2017

Cloud of Witnesses. Part-Two.

Looking out for Others?

We are the next generation in that divine cloud of witnesses, we are on the narrow way to glory and we are seeing new believers being added to our Churches! We are looking out now after the many years of sometimes hard experience's to help others, the so called babes in Christ.

Advice, warning, encouragement, praise, devotion, prayer, exercise of the mid in discipline to have a routine or quite time daily with God! These are some of many things we can be doing, even when it may hurt others for a time?

We tend to forget that the many today coming into fellowship, may have no religious background or come from one of the legalistic sides of religion, paganism and the many new ideals of self praise, positive thinking and self-achievement that is not based on the teachings of Jesus?

Hebrews 1:6,  Psalm 138:3,  1 Thessalonians 5:14.

Martyrs-Saints. One.

The Celtic Church.

When many Christians come to study Church history, they focus mostly on the division of Europe between the Eastern orthodox and the Western Roman Catholic. Some will occasionally look at the Armenian and the various Coptic's around the Middle-East and North-Africa, but all will fail to acknowledge the Celtic Church of the geographical term, the British Isles?

This is because it seems not to have a direct connection to the mass events of historical interest, when the truth be known that it is more important in relation for today than meets the eye? The influence of one man Patrick in Ireland would change direction for the Christian religion throughout Northern-Europe and this influence despite the various reformations would ultimately clash with other groups of the New world in the Americas hundreds of years later!

Matthew 3:12, Mark 16:15,  Romans 10:15, 1 Timothy 1:15.

Apostacy. One.

The Nations?

Our world is in a mess, but by the standards of the Bible it always has been since the fall of Eve in the garden of Eden! There are many who are claiming they can fix it by their acumen and politic, and one would have to be really silly to believe them?

In the Old Testament of the bible, the Prophets gave their message from God either to Judah or Israel or both, but today the message of God's Judgement is to all the world! By refusing to recognise Jesus the one and only son of God, the world will perish in Hell.

Jude 24,  Micah 1:2,  3:1,  6:1.

Monday 20 February 2017

Cloud of Witnesses. Part-One.

We are not alone in our Journey?

Many believers when going through a bad patch think God has left them and those who have passed cannot help? But we should know that our Lord is always at hand to help us, we can call on Him anytime. Jeremiah 3:33.

We need to remember what believers advised us on certain matters, who have now passed away? We have such a rich heritage as born-again or converted believers, that we must not loose sight to these important facts.

This verse goes on to speak about the race for our heavenly reward and not to grow weary or give up, what Jesus has done for us on the cross/stake/tree!

Hebrews 12:1-2,  1 Corinthians 9:24-25,  James 1:12.

LOVE. Two.

Loving the Truth?

There is a difference between us and the lost, but it is a very little one of choice, when God reveals to us His chink of light? There are many people today who go to Church and have the name tag Christian by tradition and birth, but faith-trust in God does not come by the will of man nut God.

There are many at the same time who believe without the cross and self-denial that they know the Lord Jesus, they are always on the take? But when asked to do something, even a small thing the selfishness of their hearts are revealed and they run away.

When they saw the chink of light, they refused it to continue in their darkness, but we accepted because we love the truth of Gods word the bible and try to live by it everyday! Not living as the world, but living in the New Life!

2 Thessalonians 2:10, Proverbs 8:18, 2 Corinthians 2:17.

Love. One.

Compassion.

Do we have compassion for other people, especially those in the current news? The immigrants and refugees fleeing war, persecution and death? It is so easy today to say we love, this that and the other, but when it come to practise it can be misconstrued as something else?

The bible tells us that Jesus had compassion on the masses that were out in the fields and hills waiting on Him all day! Jesus had compassion on many people, some had little faith, others found it hard to trust and He too had compassion on us who deserved nothing but punishment for our wrong doing?

Colossians 3:25, Psalm 78:38, 145:8, Matthew 14;14, 15;32, 20:34, Mark 1:41, 8;2, 1 John 3:17.

Living in Denial. Part-Two.

The denial of History and the denial of God!

The world shares in the denial of God, it also shares in the denial that it continues to fail and commit sins?

There are many who will praise this new film on the serious prosecution of British Holocaust denier David Irvin, but at the same time they will themselves deny Jesus/Yehua as their own Lord and Saviour?

These and many other things only show the fallacy of humanity in making excuses, claiming one side is better than the other in moral fibre?

Joshua 26:27, Matthew 10:33,  Mark 8:34,  Luke 20:27,  Titus 1:16.

Living in Denial. Part=One.

Emancipation, Genocide, Holocaust Denial?

Last evening I saw a historical programme about the Scottish influences in the Southern-States of the U.S.A. It was so sad and pathetic, that a Christian people set out from being oppressed in their native land to do the same to others in America.

They formed the Kuklux Klan to defend their fantasy dream based on classical fictitious romanticism and this lead to the many ideas that Miss Rosa Parks stood up to in the 1950's-60's in Atlanta, Georgia, that won black civil rights!

But God proves time and again that no one race of creed in this world is exempt from racism and hatred of another, black white or another colour! This has been proved over the last two-hundred years with genocides and the Nazi-German Holocaust!

Judges 12:6, Job 31:2, Matthew 2:6, 1 Corinthians 11:12, 2 Peter 2:1, 1 John 4;1, Revelation 19:20.

New Year 2017.

Resolutions?

When we make promises to change, to loose weight, to take up a new hobby, to get out walking more, perhaps even get married? The problem is the same every year, after a few weeks we give up and go back to what we were fat, lazy, liars and ignorant of the facts of our condition?

There is as many people in the Church today, who once made a choice to follow God, they all went through the processes, said the right things? But they never really meant in their hearts, they are what the bible calls the weeds that choke the real believers?

Matthew 13:26-40, Romans 5:8, Ephesians 2:4, 4:14, 1 Timothy 4:2, 1 John 4:11.

A bed of Roses?

Stephen and being a Believer!

The traditional image of the Christian Church is of it being easy, like a bed of roses?

But to be a born-again believer is only for the tough and its great to know that God chooses us for His service!

Weak things are strength, while those who appear to be strong are really the weaklings!

Stephen was a man who spoke the truth to a libertine world of his day and they could not cope with him so they did the same as with Jesus a year earlier.

So they set him up and had him stoned to death, but he was tougher because he forgave them and asked God that this not be held against them!

Acts 7:51-60,  2 Corinthians 12:10,  Hebrews 4:12.
