Notting Hill Carnival! Two.

Acid, guns and Knives?

Another year another opportunity for the gangs to spoil the event for all the others, including the many foreign tourists and another year for the new locals wanting to see a final end to this unwanted street party?

Time will tell if it will last, once known for its race riots, today it is associated with criminals, drug dealers and thieves! Time will also tell if the Hackney and Brixton events will finally replace it and spread out to more local parades that can be controlled?

People want to enjoy themselves and west-Indian culture has nothing to do with criminal activity, but was once based on a Christian festival that was adapted over the years! Carnival should be inclusive, but all cross community for it to diverse, grown and continue to be the best of the best?

Psalm 68:24,   Isaiah 63:1,   2 Corinthians 2:14,   Colossians 2:15,   Numbers 16:26,   Psalm 112:10,   2 Peter 3:17.

Acid Attacks Two.

Father on Son?

What sickness is our world today, what depth of sin in the heart of a man to do this to his son! We are warned that the days are getting darker and worse, that the times will be worse than in the days of Noah before the great flood!

But now our planet is reserved for fire, when sinful and wicked people will hide underground from the heat on the Earth!

Can anything be done to show people in our society a better way?

We can show them that our Father-God has proved His love for us by sending His one and only son Jesus to die and rise again to forgive us our failings and not look at them again setting us free into living the New Life!

Genesis 6:5-7,  Job 21:30,  Ecclesiastes 8:11,  Romans 3:23-31,  6 :21-23,  2 Peter 3:7,  Jude 1:13.

Acid Attacks. One.

Three year old Attacked!

The depravity of the human heart has no bounds to its wickedness, this is the first reported attack on a child of this age and it is not clear what the motive was, if there really can be one!

We have covered this subject before, but it is one that needs to be reconsidered in relation to its continuation in the U.K., where the police lack the means to fight crime and this is playing into organised crime?

Prayer for believers is key, witness of Jesus for those who have come out of gangs is essential, working with the community to try to mediate and to rid our street of this hatred!

Genesis 6:5-7,  Numbers 16:26,  Psalm 1:1,  Matthew 13:49,  2 Corinthians 7:10,  2 Peter 2:7,  3:17.

Vitriol. Part-One.

Acid Attacks.

This is a new wave in street criminality across the United Kingdom, but it must be a reflection of society that has become vitriol to the state, police? 

After so many years of seeing no change in the West-Indian community and relations with the police, this new form of vicious crime is the reply! Today the law is catching up with this evil crime and soon, when it comes to the doors of the government youth will see long sentences, if not life terms?

Crime does not pay and any of us who have been there know it well?

Jesus is the answer for young people today, as he was for us yesterday! What can we do, talk try to help, get that anger out and find out what can be done to improve or turn them away from gangs, guns, and theft?

Job 7:11,  10:1,  Proverbs 14:10,  John 3:3,  14-21,  31-36,  Romans 3:14,  Ephesians 4:31,  Hebrews 12:15.

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.
