Where humans Fail!
Sin in us is the block to remembering to keep loving by care, having concern and applying it all the time? Believers on the other hand should be, but there are many reasons as to why we do not?
Jesus did not stop loving and God our Father has not either, since people all around the world everyday are turning from darkness to light!
We have been left an example or pattern to follow and we have one step ahead of the world, since we are a temple for the Holy Spirit He is able to guide us in the application of Love!
Proverbs 2:2, 22:17, Ezekiel 30:21, James 1:23.

LOVE Expressed?
St. Valentines Day.
The romantics in us will perhaps mark this day with the card, roses, box of something nice and the meal? Some will do it as an appreciation of the wife/husband other to get that partner into bed for a randy night of passion?
But this is not what St. Valentine is all about, but rather expressing Christian love to those who are without, the poor, the immigrant, the refuges, the homeless and so the list can go on and on? What is involved is putting yourself out for others, a meal, a blanket, clean clothing, a chat, showing interest and concern for what they have are and possibly might go through!
It about showing the love of Jesus, if what we claim is real in that we know the Lord Jesus as our saviour? We have to show His compassion, because any of us could fall and end up on the streets, be homeless or addicted to something?
Matthew 9:36, 15:32, Ephesians 2:4, 1 John 4:10-11, 19.

Modern Slavery. Part-Two.
Today?
When we come to think on the subject of slavery, it is always in the past but it is the same today, if not worse than the past! We may use many terms and words such as exploitation, forced labour, prostitution, but they all are slavery, because when something is done against the will of another it is control and submission in fear!
There are many other aspects of this in cheap labour, in non-contract work or casual labour? These are all border line slavery, which are more and more prevalent today in the so called Gig economy?
Many African-Americans are concerned about the language that the new U.S. president Mr. Trump is using in relation to them and several other communities in the United States and they should be, because history is repeating itself!
Adolf Hitler sounded plausible in 1928, but he showed his real colours in 1931 and black people were not on his agenda for the 1936 Olympics in Berlin!
Deuteronomy 24;17, Isaiah 56:11, Micah 3:11, 2 Corinthians 12:17, 2 Peter 2:3, Revelation 18:11-13.
