We are planning this study page, to give you further insight and for you to do some extra homework.
One study will be put up every three months and this will be completely separate from the weekly blog postings.
October to December 2023.
The day that changed the world, October 7th!
July to September 2023.
April to June 2023.
30th Anniversary of Stephen Lawrence!
One would like to think he would have done well, but with the current climate in British cities he may have been a victim of his own culture of rising out of control knife crime?
That is not to say his death was right, since murder is murder and justice must be sought and it was to a point!
The police failed another black family in the U.K. and they seem to continue to this, but black people are not the only ones who suffer at the hands of the police, both the Irish and the travelling community are easily abused and don't have their rights respected?
To forgive must be a full process and not done in halves, we were forgiven by God in full, even though we deserve nothing from Him!
Psalm 25:18, Matthew 6:14, 18:35, Luke 6:37, John 20:23.
January to March 2023.
Excused to Denial?
Humanity is very good at pretending to be doing humanitarian work, when in truth it is killing people, investing in the arms industry and deluding the nations into some form of an economic crises!
What we are seeing in the Ukraine is nothing new, Yemen, Libya, and many other places are surviving media and political hype that changes from day to day to suit whatever the flavour of the month is?
As believers we need to be focused to see and read between the lines, so that we are not caught out with the world and the powers that control the masses!
Ephesians 6:12, Hebrews 5:14, 1 Peter 3:22.
September to December 2022.
Gifts for the King of Kings!
We all like to give each other gifts of some kind, even when we have little a card or sweets and in these time, bread, milk, spread and sugar the essentials?
Before Jesus was born, maybe even conceived the wise men of the east saw the sceptre of Jacob and set out to meet the King of Kings in Jerusalem, this was a time long awaited for in the court of Daniel the Prophet to the nations!
The events of them going to the palace and being warned in dreams are important, but here we are only going to look at their ecstatic joy of meeting the King of Judah!
This should be a page out of the Holy Bible for us when we go to fellowship and meet together to break bread, each week as well as on other special occasions?
Numbers 24:17, Matthew 2:10, Luke 1:14, Revelation 5:5.
June to August 2022.
Global Warming.
Just another hot summer or What?
March to May 2022.
U.S. Silence to a new world Order?
In a recent visit to the Middle-East the U.S. Administration were surprised to find that their old time politics for the region was well out of date and no one pulled with them!
With the advent of the Trump era, everything had changed and for the better, Arab nations now were free to do what they wanted to and even the accords in relation to the Palestinians had been abandoned by them for new things?
Having faith in God is not about being stuck in a dry tradition, but rather that we are ever living in the new now, since we are moving with the Holy Spirit!
Psalm 98:1, Isaiah 42:9, 65:17, Matthew/Levi 13:51, Colossians 3:1.
December 2021 to February 2022.
The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther-King!
It has its place now in American history and survives as a reminder of what it was before the 1960's protests, yet only a few year ago in the Trump era we saw that hatred rise again not to the same levels, but it was there?
Since the death of George Floyd by a police officer, great protests were made world wide and many promises, but the killings go on with innocent black men being shot sixty and 28 times in the back by white police officers!
Genesis 6:5, 20:6, Hebrews 4:12-13.
After the U.S. Elections one must say that very little has actually happened and both the New U.S. President Biden and his vice, Mrs, Harris have done their best to avoid the issues claiming that it is still not the right time?
Psalm 4:2, 14:6, Proverbs 13:5, Romans 10:10, Titus 2:8.
September to November 2021.
June to August 2021.
March to May 2021.
Pilate sought Equality for Jesus!
There is much difference between the justice of God and the humanism of man and we see this quiet evident in the Easter story, as the Roman Governor Pilate did his best to get Jesus off with what His own people were accusing Him of!
John 19:1-12. Matthew 27:21.
But God was overruling the will of a man, so that Jesus would go to the cross. They say that Pilate years later committed suicide during his posting in Syria?
Perhaps he could not bring himself to repentance because of past loyalties in the region and after seeing that the Ekklesia movement of the Way was spreading and growing across the then known Roman empire despite death and persecution!
We also see that Humanism in Judas Iscariot who thought when Jesus was arrested he would see the power displayed to liberate the nation, but he misunderstood the scriptures that Messiah was the suffering servant. Isaiah 53:1-12.
Matthew 27:30, Acts 1:16,
December 2020 to February 2021.
September to November 2020.
June to August 2020.
In times of Trouble?
The Holy Bible can be a source of great comfort and refuge when we are worried, fearful and stressed and it is not just the Book of the Psalms that we may find that comfort and peace but the whole of the Old Testament too!
March to May 2020.
SARS-COV2/COVID-19.
We are living in some extraordinary times and have seen nothing like this in our lives since 1917-1919, when some fifty million people from the U.K. to the U.S. and around the world died horribly from the wrongly termed Spanish flu Influenza?
This new bug or strain is one of many in the top fifteen called the Corona virus, Corona being the Latin for head! Most medical terms come either from Latin or ancient Greek or are made up works for the shorting of long technical terminology such as AIDS and SARS.
Depending on what you read in the world media, many different pictures are painted to the origins of this virus, the U.S. have accused China, others believe it originated in the U.S, while others its been about for some time and has just being building up?
Some years ago teams working in the U.S. Thailand and Israel discovered a three spike protein that was a off shoot of Aids and this is now what the WHO have termed COVID-19!
December 2019 to February 2020.
Unconditional Love!
This is a fact that makes real Born-Again Christianity unique, it that we are saved by the unfathomable riches of Gods love for His creation!
All religions are either based on legalistic observance or animistic philosophies that are man created and some times silly, but those who follow would kill for?
Many will attribute love to our wills and cannot comprehend or want to understand that god can love us, since he is far away and we have to work to get to him or the many of them?
John 3:16, 15:9, Romans 3:21-31, Galatians 5:22, 1 John 4:7, 9, Revelation 3:19-20.
September to November 2019.
Evil, thoughts and Motives!
Jesus said, 'It is not what goes into us that makes us bad, but what dark thoughts that come out of our Hearts! Matthew/Levi 15:17-10
In the book of Hebrews we are told that only God knows what is within our thinking and it is He and the Holy Spirit who discerns those thoughts. Hebrews 4:12.
Anti-Semitic terrorism has arisen in the U.S. at this time, but not from the traditional white supremacy, but from the Afro-American black community!
We need to have a good knowledge and understanding of the Holy Bible, before we start to make misunderstood judgements in relation to Jewish people?
Much religious Church going does not make us Born-Again and if we are and hold this hatred then we cannot be really Saved by faith in the King of Israel the perfect and sinless Jew who made the final atonement for our sins?
Matthew/Levi 9:3, John 3:3, 14-16, 10:28, Ephesians 5:2, Hebrews 10:5, 12, 26.
June to August 2019.
The Holy Spirit the Mind of Christ?
What a scripture to challenge the believers that by having the Holy Spirit we understand God!
This is the difference between being religious, legalistic and traditional to that of being Born-Again! It is also the proof we need to understand that Islam and Judaism have no spiritual insight into what they read from the Qumran and Tanakh, for them it is empty and a book of hard legalistic regulations that they claim they heed?
But we on the other hand operate in the life of faith and press on despite attack, persecution and threats! We understand what Jesus wants for us and what way we should go?
There are many Christians who are born-again, who practise a superficial religion and perhaps have pulled away for the comfort zone and this may be either fear of man or that they are not really serious?
1 Corinthians 2:13-14, Job 15:8, Psalm 25:14, Proverbs 28:5, Ecclesiastes 8:5, John 15:15, 16:13-16, Romans 11:34, Colossians 3:16, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, Hebrews 5:14, Jude 1:19.
March to May 2019.
LOVE!
The Cross/Stake/Tree is about the Love that God has for us His creation and the sending of His one and only Son Jesus to die and rise again so that we who repent and seek God will be atoned for and redeemed or bought back to God as Holy possessions!
There is no other religion in the world today who can offer to us this assurance of Salvation? All of them are either legalistic or idol based in that they make demands rather than choices!
Love is a unique tribute with God and with us who are born of the Holy Spirit in that it is not critical or aggressive! Many today claim God's love for them and they fool themselves, because they do act in the way to properly respond?
John 3:3, 15-18, 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, Galatians 5:13, Philippians 4:8, Colossians 1:11, 2 Timothy 2:10, James 3:17, 1 Peter 4:8, 1 John 3:16-17, 4:11.
December 2018 to February 2019.
'Another Holocaust?
We cannot escape the facts of the teachings in the New Testament of our Holy Bibles in relation to the events of the last times!
These days will be terrible before Jesus returns, they will be days of strange events, darkness, and severe persecution for believers, while those deluded will be further seduced by evil spirits into more sins.
There is to be another Holocaust, when Satan will reveal himself as the false Messiah to Israel after three and half years of blessing and prospering them in that false delusion!
Mark 13:24-26, Isaiah 13:10, Jeremiah 4:23-25, Daniel 7:9-14, Zephaniah 1:14-18, Matthew/Levi 24:29-31, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, Revelation 1:7, 6:12-14.
September to November 2018.
Conditions for Jesus Return!
We are clearly told in the New Testament of the Holy Bible not to speculate on the events and times of Jesus return, because only the Father knows these things!
Yet it is unbelievable how many Christian leaders and teachers ignore this and press on with making false claims with arrogance that they have had a unique revelation because they are favoured by God?
Basically they are lying to the fact that they are false teaching, but we have to be aware of the hype that they use to cover themselves in deceiving us!
Mark 13:21-25, John 5:43, Acts 1:7, 2 Timothy 2:19, 1 John 2:26, 2 Peter 3:17.
June to August 2018.
March to May 2018.
Psalm 37:20, Proverbs 11:10, 28:28, Matthew 6;12, Mark 3:28, Luke 7:47, John 3:3, 16-17, 31-36, 14:27, Romans 3:23, 4:7, 6:23, 10:1, 1 Corinthians 16:22, 24, 1 Timothy 2:8, Philemon 1:9, Hebrews 6:11, 2 Peter 2:12, Jude 1:5.
December 2017 to February 2018.
Human Standards facing God?
We need to wake up and be aware that we must never underestimate the will of God, He appoints His chosen, who today may be considered mad but tomorrow may be the people of the moment!
September to November 2017.
Facing the Facts. Two.
Do you know that Islam is growing faster than any other religion in the world? That America has more Hispanics now than white Europeans and that the U.S. government is living in denial of Islamic terrorism on its soil, black people being killed by the police and poverty in the nations surrounding the U.S.?
America is not alone to many of these realities, why because they are blinded by their wealth! Jesus said it in relation to the poor widow, who gave God her all while the rich could afford to give from their plenty!
Today many people who claim to believe in God-Jesus are not really Born-Again, but rather imposter's? People who like the atmosphere of religion and this is nothing new, going to Church brings respectability?
But it is the actions of Love crucified in our hearts, that bring the truth of loving and caring for others! Wither you work in a soup kitchen or write letters to others to encourage them, you are active for Jesus!
Joshua 24:7, Proverbs 13:7, 21:29, Matthew 10:33, 15:8, Luke 20:20, John 11:33, Acts 4;10, Romans 6:6, 10:1, 1 Corinthians 1:23, 2 Corinthians 1:23, Galatians 5:24, Philippians 4:6, Titus 1:16, Hebrews 3:12, 9:22-28, Revelation 2:13.
June to August 2017.
Facing the Facts. One.
Many people in the world today live in denial of sin, of failure, but so do many Christians when it comes to race and religious issues?
For many people are caught in a time trap of how it was, when it was better in the old days? When our land, language and culture dominated, when we looked down on them?
But this is not what Jesus died for you to continue to live in your sins and to be bias? Jesus the King of Israel and the saviour of the world, seeks us to be honest, fair and to do what is right and good and to love others as He loved us when we were ignorant and hostile to Him?
We are now free from the Law, because Jesus has fulfilled it for us! So know we are a New people, not religious but living in the Power of the Holy Spirit daily because we have the choices to make working out our own Salvation?
Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:9, Job 29:15, Psalm 4:1, 69:13, 102:1, Jonah 2:7, John 3:15-17, Acts 28:31, Romans 10:1, Galatians 2:4, 5:14, Hebrews 9:22-28, 1 Peter 2:16.
March to May 2017.
Sacrifice!
December 2016 to February 2017.
God's Love?
September to November 2016
Wicked People.
Today because of the World Wide Web we are filled with media reporting nearly every terrorist incident on the planet, people are being killed and maimed everywhere for one cause or another and that is on top of criminal activity and mental-breakdown?
The Devil remains very active and things are to get far worse, rather than better as the days approach the Return of Jesus! We see many movies that are related the these End times events such as Knowing and Left Behind!
It is the inner peace, joy and love from having a personal relationship with Jesus that will set us free from the worrying that these events are causing! We need not be afraid of seeing who and what we are, but admit and confess all this to God and really mean it?
Don't then look back or worry about the past, God will help us to get through, because Jesus has taken our place and we are forgiven!
Luke 9:62, Acts 1:9, 11, Romans 13:12, 2 Timothy 4:3-4, 8, Hebrews 9:28, James 1:6-8.
June to August 2016.
Bad and good Company.
If we are believers we will know where we have come from? And from knowing this we will know what kind of company we should keep now that we have been set free?
There is a saying amongst Christians, ''Saved from little, do little, saved from much do much?
This can be taken across to the experiance of life, if we came from the ordinary we perhaps will easily be influenced again? But if came from the darker, rougher side our desire is for much more of God and our Spiritual brothers and sisters?
Philippians 1:27-2:6, 1 John 3:13, 16-20, Job 5:12-14.
March to May 2016.
All Saved?
God wants to see no one lost and that all of humanity would return to Him, through Jesus His Son! But He knows that there are many who will refuse Jesus, embarrasment, shame, pride, stupidity and arrogance.
The Bible never promises ''Once saved always saved,' it rather gives us the hope of Eternity, when we have completed running the race!
People do backslide and fall away, there are also many conditions to who will and will not get into Heaven. There are many things that stump or block our process of walking with the Lord.
Matthew 13:24-38, Mark 4:4-31, 1 Corinthians 9:4, Psalm 38:15, 42:11, 119:114, 116, 146:5, 1Thessalonians 2:19, Titus 2:13, Hebrews 6:19, 1 Peter 3:15, 1 John 3:3, Revelation 22:14-15.
December 2015 to February 2016.
Virgin Birth.
September to November 2015.
Miracles.
The Holy bible is a book full of the miracles of God to His own creation=Us. From the display of His power in nature, the elements to the raising of the deal, healing physical, metal and Spiritual.
Old people having children, woman in old age concieving, visions, dreams, prophecy, people placed in key locations througout history.
Genesis 17:15-21, 18:9-15, 23:1, Exodus 14:22, 16:13, 17:5-7, 1 Samuel 1:7-20, 1 Kings 17:8-16, 2 Kings 5:1-21, Luke 4:27, Matthew 1:23, 2 Kings 13:21, The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Hebrews Chapter 11.
God is not limited like us, who are a fallen corrupt, changable and desceptive race. That is why Jesus came and had to die for us taking our failure on His body for us.
Romans 3:23, 6:23, Psalm 62:12, Jeremiah 32:19, Matthew 16:27, John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:57.
June to August 2015.
Choice.
The great thing about being a human is that we all have been each given choice, animals only have instinct. Each of us has a soul and that means that despite being born into our human bodies, we were actually created by God before the universe was made.
Genesis 2:7, Ecclesiastes 3:11, Acts 15:7.
It is the soul within each of us that lives on after death, the grave even cremation is not the end of us. God has promised those who believe in His son Jesus will receive new bodies, but those who do not Eternal separation from His presence.
Matthew 25:31-33, Revelation 20:4.
Many lack this knowledge, thinking they lived an all right life and when they die its the end. No you are seriously wrong, it is the beginning of Eternity. Isaiah 57:15, Mark 9:48.
March to May 2015.
Justice.
Many people claim to be able to give Justice, we hear it daily in the news in relation to Afghanistan and the Middle-east and yet at home in Europe and North-America very few get it.
God on the other hand gives out His own kind of Justice and He does not discriminate or have a special preferences. This is because he knows what our human nature is like, that we all have sinned and we are always changing our minds!
1 Chronicles 28:9, John 2:24-25.
Human nature leads us into favouritism, it also allows us to be open to sin and the taking of bribes which is of a financial nature.
But God wants us to be fare and do what is right all the time. he does not want us to hurt other, to lie, to give false witness or to encourage others to do so.
Exodus 23:1-3, Leviticus 19:13-15, Psalm 82:2-4.
He wants us to tell the truth, even if it hurts, the truth will always win the day, over race, business, war, genocide, sin, quarrels, hatred.
Matthew 5:23-24, John 7:24, 51, 1 Corinthians 13:6.
January to March 2015.
Freedom.
The only time that a person is truly free is when they come to experience the New Life in Jesus, it is then that we are free from the power of Satan over us.
Isaiah 61:1, Luke 4:18, Romans 8:21, 2 Corinthians 3:17, Galatians 5:21.
Being a believer in the 'Good works of Jesus, His death on the tree/stake/cross and resurrection from the dead does not mean that at a future date we can continue as we once were.
Galatians 5:13, 1 Peter 2:16, 2 Peter 2:19.
If we do start to slip back into the old ways, we may never have been serious in the first place. The Holy Spirit is given to all believers, but if we continue to grieve Him God will remove Him from us and this is something that prohibits a return back to God.
Matthew 12:31-32, John 15:22-27, Hebrews 6:4-6, 10:24-27, 2 Peter 2:20-22.
October to December. 2014.
Heart Conditions.
The bible is the only book that tells us that all of humanity is sinful, continued failure. No matter how hard we try to be good, we always fail.
Genesis 4:7, Job 4:8, John 8:34, Acts 8:23.
The reason for this continued failure is an inherited problem, man cannot rid himself of sin. This can only be done by God and God in His mercy on us has allowed His one and only Son Jesus to make a final blood atonement for our failure.
Numbers 7:16, 1 Corinthians 15:3, Galatians 3: 21-22.
It is from our hearts that comes all sorts of plans, schemes and evil. Even believers fall, when they one minute praise God and the next curse men.
Psalm 32:1, 51:2, Proverbs 5:22, Hosea 4:8, Romans 6:23, Hebrews 4:12, James 5:5, 2 Peter 2:14.
July to September. 2014.
Prostitution.
The world says 'That this is the oldest profession around.' The truth is that, it is not. But Harlotry is old and is the sin of sexual exploitation. Sex is a natural pleasure created by God, between a man and a woman for multiplication of the human race.
But there are people out their who for financial gain, evil intentions and pleasure are ready to exploit it.
The King James bible uses many terms and forms for the different types of Prostitution. Harlot and Whore.
Genesis 38:15, She.
Genesis 38:21, Temple.
Deuteronomy 23:18, Hire.
Joshua 2:1, Rahab.
We must remember that these terms are not exclusive to females, but also to men and boys.
1 Kings 14:26, Joel 3:3.
The terminology of these three words are also connected to conditions associated with corruptions, deceptions and decay in peoples, cities and nations.
Isaiah 1:21, Matthew 11:20-24, Luke 10:10-14, Revelation 17:5.
Even to the wearing of certain types of clothing.
Proverbs 7:10.
Meanwhile the New Testament takes a similar stance on the subject in relation to adultery and the consequences of that illicit union. The same terminology is used as in marriage of one body or flesh, but here it has more evil connotations.
1 Corinthians 6:16-17, (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5, Mark 10:8, Ephesians 5:31).
We also see in the New testament how Jesus deals with the subject as he was confronted with it. Many people, many Christians claim that Jesus never spoke about Male prostitution in the New Testament, but he did. Matthew 10:15.
We see that this profession has many facets and one is money. Deuteronomy 23:18, Joel 3:3, Nahum 3:10.
We also in this area the conditions of the people who fall into this sin. The brazen nature, the deceit, blackmail and extortion. Proverbs 2:16-19, 5:3-4, 6:24-35, 23:27-28, Matthew 5:28.
Jesus and the woman of Samaria or the woman by the well. John 4:7-38.
Jesus and the woman to be stoned. John 8:1-11.
Jesus and the woman with the expensive perfume. John 12:1-8.
Jesus and Mary Magdalen or from Magdelena. Matthew 27:56-61, 28:1, Luke 8:1
Making it Through?
It is hard going as nation after nation is in lockdown because of this serious pandemic that is killing millions, yet we will get through this not in the will of human resolve, but the faith that we must have in Jesus our Savior!
The world speaks most of the time words of confusion, since many who talk do not even believe in the science, but think people will be fooled by their fine speech?
God always speaks the truth to us through the reading and the searching of the Holy Bible and our faith and belief to trust in and apply it to our lives!
Job 15:17, Daniel 9:14, Romans 13:14, Hebrews 13:17.
September to November 2020.
'Not one Hair!
If we are worried and this plagues us all for many reasons, the Bible tells us that God knows us and is caring for us, since He alone is the only one who has counted the hairs on our heads individually!
Not even a medical person could work that out and yet God can do anything, since He has created and it is He who will bring New things for us who believe!
He is a God of protection and one who wants us to trust in His one and only Son Jesus so that we will be less hindered in our difficulties that the world faces, knowing that He is always with us!
Luke 21:18, 1 Samuel 25:29, Amos 5:4, Matthew/Levi 10:30, John 3:14-17, Acts 27:34.
June to August 2020.
In times of Trouble?
The Holy Bible can be a source of great comfort and refuge when we are worried, fearful and stressed and it is not just the Book of the Psalms that we may find that comfort and peace but the whole of the Old Testament too!
God is not limited to the New Testament now that we have a New covenant and relationship with Him, since the whole book is about Him from Creation to the final Judgement and where we will be in Eternity?
The Bible has something for everyone and its values last beyond the crap teachings of clever people who are always trying to push their ideas and agendas, where with the Holy Bible and God it is about seeking Him and finding.
Genesis 1:1-2, Psalm 9:9, 10:1, 22:1, 46:1, 7, 11, 88:14, Isaiah 28:15, Jeremiah 16:19, Matthew 7:7, John 3:3.

Some years ago teams working in the U.S. Thailand and Israel discovered a three spike protein that was a off shoot of Aids and this is now what the WHO have termed COVID-19!
As believers we must be aware that in these last days there will be plagues and rumors of wars, but we must be vigilant? This must not be an excuse to distant ourselves from helping people who are hurt or ill but to try and do our best, with prayer and with love in the same way that Jesus has for us!
Genesis 12:17, Matthew/Levi 9:36, 15:32, Mark 8:2, Luke 7:13, 15:20, Hebrews 10:34, Revelation 9:18, 20, 15:1, 16:9, 18:4, 22:18.

Many will attribute love to our wills and cannot comprehend or want to understand that god can love us, since he is far away and we have to work to get to him or the many of them?
John 3:16, 15:9, Romans 3:21-31, Galatians 5:22, 1 John 4:7, 9, Revelation 3:19-20.
September to November 2019.
Evil, thoughts and Motives!
Jesus said, 'It is not what goes into us that makes us bad, but what dark thoughts that come out of our Hearts! Matthew/Levi 15:17-10
In the book of Hebrews we are told that only God knows what is within our thinking and it is He and the Holy Spirit who discerns those thoughts. Hebrews 4:12.

Matthew/Levi 9:3, John 3:3, 14-16, 10:28, Ephesians 5:2, Hebrews 10:5, 12, 26.
June to August 2019.
The Holy Spirit the Mind of Christ?
What a scripture to challenge the believers that by having the Holy Spirit we understand God!
This is the difference between being religious, legalistic and traditional to that of being Born-Again! It is also the proof we need to understand that Islam and Judaism have no spiritual insight into what they read from the Qumran and Tanakh, for them it is empty and a book of hard legalistic regulations that they claim they heed?
But we on the other hand operate in the life of faith and press on despite attack, persecution and threats! We understand what Jesus wants for us and what way we should go?
There are many Christians who are born-again, who practise a superficial religion and perhaps have pulled away for the comfort zone and this may be either fear of man or that they are not really serious?
1 Corinthians 2:13-14, Job 15:8, Psalm 25:14, Proverbs 28:5, Ecclesiastes 8:5, John 15:15, 16:13-16, Romans 11:34, Colossians 3:16, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, Hebrews 5:14, Jude 1:19.
March to May 2019.
LOVE!
The Cross/Stake/Tree is about the Love that God has for us His creation and the sending of His one and only Son Jesus to die and rise again so that we who repent and seek God will be atoned for and redeemed or bought back to God as Holy possessions!
There is no other religion in the world today who can offer to us this assurance of Salvation? All of them are either legalistic or idol based in that they make demands rather than choices!
Love is a unique tribute with God and with us who are born of the Holy Spirit in that it is not critical or aggressive! Many today claim God's love for them and they fool themselves, because they do act in the way to properly respond?
John 3:3, 15-18, 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, Galatians 5:13, Philippians 4:8, Colossians 1:11, 2 Timothy 2:10, James 3:17, 1 Peter 4:8, 1 John 3:16-17, 4:11.
December 2018 to February 2019.
'Another Holocaust?
We cannot escape the facts of the teachings in the New Testament of our Holy Bibles in relation to the events of the last times!
These days will be terrible before Jesus returns, they will be days of strange events, darkness, and severe persecution for believers, while those deluded will be further seduced by evil spirits into more sins.
There is to be another Holocaust, when Satan will reveal himself as the false Messiah to Israel after three and half years of blessing and prospering them in that false delusion!
Mark 13:24-26, Isaiah 13:10, Jeremiah 4:23-25, Daniel 7:9-14, Zephaniah 1:14-18, Matthew/Levi 24:29-31, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, Revelation 1:7, 6:12-14.
September to November 2018.
Conditions for Jesus Return!
We are clearly told in the New Testament of the Holy Bible not to speculate on the events and times of Jesus return, because only the Father knows these things!
Yet it is unbelievable how many Christian leaders and teachers ignore this and press on with making false claims with arrogance that they have had a unique revelation because they are favoured by God?
Basically they are lying to the fact that they are false teaching, but we have to be aware of the hype that they use to cover themselves in deceiving us!
Mark 13:21-25, John 5:43, Acts 1:7, 2 Timothy 2:19, 1 John 2:26, 2 Peter 3:17.
June to August 2018.
Attitudes Changed?
Our attitude is the thing which makes us hostile to others, a lack of trust and a bad report over the generations of mistrust, will never lead to solving the problems of racial tensions, sectarianism and divisions in all cultures and creeds!
The ball has to start in our own court, we cannot continue to sulk and play the victim, when we are being seen to be the aggressor? Our lives must reflect honesty and truth, with justice and not let anger boil over into violence and then try to excuse or appease ourselves?

Jesus is the only answer to us having a mental attitude change, with Him we live in the power of the Holy Spirit overcoming the former control of the flesh and sin!
Psalm 51:10, 12, John 3:3, Ephesians 4:23, Colossians 1:21.

Gangsterism!
This is a fact of the dark side of the human condition of sin!
People, mostly youth join out of despair or are drawn in by intimidation and this is the same world-wide and not limited to just blacks!
There is no real solution to end criminal activity, except hearing the Good News message that is real and a change of heart/mind will be made? This was the way it was for some of us who came out of youthful bad company, through either Christians in the police, prison or some similar outreach!
Communities that have allowed this wickedness to take over, are as much responsible or to blame, because of their coldness to authority they encourage a counter-culture that they loose control of!
The music of wrap and other forms of break dancing in themselves mean little, but it all depends on what the message is that does mean something that leads to the loss of pride, respect and honour when others are jeered!
Christian Churches in these communities have a massive role to play in reaching out to the lost generations outside their doors! It is hard to witness, but its not impossible and so of these criminals will really appreciate that they are loved by God!
A God, a Father who gave us His One and only son, so that by His death and our faith in these events, we might be made right and bought back! No gang, no broken home, no pain or rejection, wrap, video can give us the righteousness and Love of God?

December 2017 to February 2018.
Human Standards facing God?
The world talks about freedom of sexuality and yet is those same countries the streets are full of sexual workers, mostly woman?
The world speaks of liberation and freedoms that it is introducing throughout society and yet many of our mothers work or worked in the cheapness of labour washing floors and cleaning office blocks at night for pittense?
Standards to suite whom, themselves and make them famous for denying the truth of God? The excuse is always love, we must love! But the bible says God first loved us and that sexual sin, sodomy is not based on love but on lust!
Sorry Mr. Obama you really got that doctrine wrong in pushing all this filth and all who follow you will have to give an account to God, wither you repent of it in this life or not!
Exodus 12:29, Acts 12:23, 1 Corinthians 6:9, Galatians 5:20.
September to November 2017.
Facing the Facts. Two.
Do you know that Islam is growing faster than any other religion in the world? That America has more Hispanics now than white Europeans and that the U.S. government is living in denial of Islamic terrorism on its soil, black people being killed by the police and poverty in the nations surrounding the U.S.?
America is not alone to many of these realities, why because they are blinded by their wealth! Jesus said it in relation to the poor widow, who gave God her all while the rich could afford to give from their plenty!
Today many people who claim to believe in God-Jesus are not really Born-Again, but rather imposter's? People who like the atmosphere of religion and this is nothing new, going to Church brings respectability?
But it is the actions of Love crucified in our hearts, that bring the truth of loving and caring for others! Wither you work in a soup kitchen or write letters to others to encourage them, you are active for Jesus!
Joshua 24:7, Proverbs 13:7, 21:29, Matthew 10:33, 15:8, Luke 20:20, John 11:33, Acts 4;10, Romans 6:6, 10:1, 1 Corinthians 1:23, 2 Corinthians 1:23, Galatians 5:24, Philippians 4:6, Titus 1:16, Hebrews 3:12, 9:22-28, Revelation 2:13.
June to August 2017.
Facing the Facts. One.
Many people in the world today live in denial of sin, of failure, but so do many Christians when it comes to race and religious issues?
For many people are caught in a time trap of how it was, when it was better in the old days? When our land, language and culture dominated, when we looked down on them?
But this is not what Jesus died for you to continue to live in your sins and to be bias? Jesus the King of Israel and the saviour of the world, seeks us to be honest, fair and to do what is right and good and to love others as He loved us when we were ignorant and hostile to Him?
We are now free from the Law, because Jesus has fulfilled it for us! So know we are a New people, not religious but living in the Power of the Holy Spirit daily because we have the choices to make working out our own Salvation?
Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:9, Job 29:15, Psalm 4:1, 69:13, 102:1, Jonah 2:7, John 3:15-17, Acts 28:31, Romans 10:1, Galatians 2:4, 5:14, Hebrews 9:22-28, 1 Peter 2:16.
March to May 2017.
Sacrifice!
God our Father gave us Jesus and Jesus gave us Himself, so that we who believe could be set free from the darkness of this world!
we don't hear a lot today about sacrifice, because depending where you are the important meaning of it and its worth has been lost?
Feelings, what I want and self has filled the needs of humanity, but they are on that slippery Broadway to Hell?
Exodus 8:25-29, Psalm 50:14, Matthew 12:7, Ephesians 5:2, Hebrews 9:26, 13:15.
December 2016 to February 2017.
God's Love?
There are as many Christians today as religions who refuse to understand that God loves sinners? God has to love His creation, because He saved eight sinners on the Ark! Genesis chapters 8-9.
Yet Noah obeyed God, but later after the flood he sinned again? Genesis 9:19-22. We all sin, even if we are born-again but that does not take away the fact, that a Father loves his son, even if he breaks a window with his football?
What God does not love is our sins and when we fall back into them! There is as yet no one who is sinless apart from Jesus the perfect man and second Adam, who made the one and final atonement for sin to buy back to God!
All who were lost and now have faith in Jesus death and resurrection knowing that our sins have been forgiven!
John 3:14-18, 11:25-26, Luke 11:4, 1 John 1:9.
September to November 2016
Wicked People.
Today because of the World Wide Web we are filled with media reporting nearly every terrorist incident on the planet, people are being killed and maimed everywhere for one cause or another and that is on top of criminal activity and mental-breakdown?
The Devil remains very active and things are to get far worse, rather than better as the days approach the Return of Jesus! We see many movies that are related the these End times events such as Knowing and Left Behind!
It is the inner peace, joy and love from having a personal relationship with Jesus that will set us free from the worrying that these events are causing! We need not be afraid of seeing who and what we are, but admit and confess all this to God and really mean it?
Don't then look back or worry about the past, God will help us to get through, because Jesus has taken our place and we are forgiven!
Luke 9:62, Acts 1:9, 11, Romans 13:12, 2 Timothy 4:3-4, 8, Hebrews 9:28, James 1:6-8.
June to August 2016.
Bad and good Company.
If we are believers we will know where we have come from? And from knowing this we will know what kind of company we should keep now that we have been set free?
There is a saying amongst Christians, ''Saved from little, do little, saved from much do much?
This can be taken across to the experiance of life, if we came from the ordinary we perhaps will easily be influenced again? But if came from the darker, rougher side our desire is for much more of God and our Spiritual brothers and sisters?
Philippians 1:27-2:6, 1 John 3:13, 16-20, Job 5:12-14.
March to May 2016.
All Saved?
God wants to see no one lost and that all of humanity would return to Him, through Jesus His Son! But He knows that there are many who will refuse Jesus, embarrasment, shame, pride, stupidity and arrogance.
The Bible never promises ''Once saved always saved,' it rather gives us the hope of Eternity, when we have completed running the race!
People do backslide and fall away, there are also many conditions to who will and will not get into Heaven. There are many things that stump or block our process of walking with the Lord.
Matthew 13:24-38, Mark 4:4-31, 1 Corinthians 9:4, Psalm 38:15, 42:11, 119:114, 116, 146:5, 1Thessalonians 2:19, Titus 2:13, Hebrews 6:19, 1 Peter 3:15, 1 John 3:3, Revelation 22:14-15.
December 2015 to February 2016.
Virgin Birth.
September to November 2015.
Miracles.
The Holy bible is a book full of the miracles of God to His own creation=Us. From the display of His power in nature, the elements to the raising of the deal, healing physical, metal and Spiritual.
Old people having children, woman in old age concieving, visions, dreams, prophecy, people placed in key locations througout history.
Genesis 17:15-21, 18:9-15, 23:1, Exodus 14:22, 16:13, 17:5-7, 1 Samuel 1:7-20, 1 Kings 17:8-16, 2 Kings 5:1-21, Luke 4:27, Matthew 1:23, 2 Kings 13:21, The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Hebrews Chapter 11.
God is not limited like us, who are a fallen corrupt, changable and desceptive race. That is why Jesus came and had to die for us taking our failure on His body for us.
Romans 3:23, 6:23, Psalm 62:12, Jeremiah 32:19, Matthew 16:27, John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:57.
June to August 2015.
Choice.
The great thing about being a human is that we all have been each given choice, animals only have instinct. Each of us has a soul and that means that despite being born into our human bodies, we were actually created by God before the universe was made.
Genesis 2:7, Ecclesiastes 3:11, Acts 15:7.
It is the soul within each of us that lives on after death, the grave even cremation is not the end of us. God has promised those who believe in His son Jesus will receive new bodies, but those who do not Eternal separation from His presence.
Matthew 25:31-33, Revelation 20:4.
Many lack this knowledge, thinking they lived an all right life and when they die its the end. No you are seriously wrong, it is the beginning of Eternity. Isaiah 57:15, Mark 9:48.
March to May 2015.
Justice.
Many people claim to be able to give Justice, we hear it daily in the news in relation to Afghanistan and the Middle-east and yet at home in Europe and North-America very few get it.
God on the other hand gives out His own kind of Justice and He does not discriminate or have a special preferences. This is because he knows what our human nature is like, that we all have sinned and we are always changing our minds!
1 Chronicles 28:9, John 2:24-25.
Human nature leads us into favouritism, it also allows us to be open to sin and the taking of bribes which is of a financial nature.
But God wants us to be fare and do what is right all the time. he does not want us to hurt other, to lie, to give false witness or to encourage others to do so.
Exodus 23:1-3, Leviticus 19:13-15, Psalm 82:2-4.
He wants us to tell the truth, even if it hurts, the truth will always win the day, over race, business, war, genocide, sin, quarrels, hatred.
Matthew 5:23-24, John 7:24, 51, 1 Corinthians 13:6.
January to March 2015.
Freedom.
The only time that a person is truly free is when they come to experience the New Life in Jesus, it is then that we are free from the power of Satan over us.
Isaiah 61:1, Luke 4:18, Romans 8:21, 2 Corinthians 3:17, Galatians 5:21.
Being a believer in the 'Good works of Jesus, His death on the tree/stake/cross and resurrection from the dead does not mean that at a future date we can continue as we once were.
Galatians 5:13, 1 Peter 2:16, 2 Peter 2:19.
If we do start to slip back into the old ways, we may never have been serious in the first place. The Holy Spirit is given to all believers, but if we continue to grieve Him God will remove Him from us and this is something that prohibits a return back to God.
Matthew 12:31-32, John 15:22-27, Hebrews 6:4-6, 10:24-27, 2 Peter 2:20-22.
October to December. 2014.
Heart Conditions.
The bible is the only book that tells us that all of humanity is sinful, continued failure. No matter how hard we try to be good, we always fail.
Genesis 4:7, Job 4:8, John 8:34, Acts 8:23.
The reason for this continued failure is an inherited problem, man cannot rid himself of sin. This can only be done by God and God in His mercy on us has allowed His one and only Son Jesus to make a final blood atonement for our failure.
Numbers 7:16, 1 Corinthians 15:3, Galatians 3: 21-22.
It is from our hearts that comes all sorts of plans, schemes and evil. Even believers fall, when they one minute praise God and the next curse men.
Psalm 32:1, 51:2, Proverbs 5:22, Hosea 4:8, Romans 6:23, Hebrews 4:12, James 5:5, 2 Peter 2:14.
July to September. 2014.
Prostitution.
The world says 'That this is the oldest profession around.' The truth is that, it is not. But Harlotry is old and is the sin of sexual exploitation. Sex is a natural pleasure created by God, between a man and a woman for multiplication of the human race.
But there are people out their who for financial gain, evil intentions and pleasure are ready to exploit it.
The King James bible uses many terms and forms for the different types of Prostitution. Harlot and Whore.
Genesis 38:15, She.
Genesis 38:21, Temple.
Deuteronomy 23:18, Hire.
Joshua 2:1, Rahab.
We must remember that these terms are not exclusive to females, but also to men and boys.
1 Kings 14:26, Joel 3:3.
The terminology of these three words are also connected to conditions associated with corruptions, deceptions and decay in peoples, cities and nations.
Isaiah 1:21, Matthew 11:20-24, Luke 10:10-14, Revelation 17:5.
Even to the wearing of certain types of clothing.
Proverbs 7:10.
Meanwhile the New Testament takes a similar stance on the subject in relation to adultery and the consequences of that illicit union. The same terminology is used as in marriage of one body or flesh, but here it has more evil connotations.
1 Corinthians 6:16-17, (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5, Mark 10:8, Ephesians 5:31).
We also see in the New testament how Jesus deals with the subject as he was confronted with it. Many people, many Christians claim that Jesus never spoke about Male prostitution in the New Testament, but he did. Matthew 10:15.
We see that this profession has many facets and one is money. Deuteronomy 23:18, Joel 3:3, Nahum 3:10.
We also in this area the conditions of the people who fall into this sin. The brazen nature, the deceit, blackmail and extortion. Proverbs 2:16-19, 5:3-4, 6:24-35, 23:27-28, Matthew 5:28.
Jesus and the woman of Samaria or the woman by the well. John 4:7-38.
Jesus and the woman to be stoned. John 8:1-11.
Jesus and the woman with the expensive perfume. John 12:1-8.
Jesus and Mary Magdalen or from Magdelena. Matthew 27:56-61, 28:1, Luke 8:1
