Spread out more and More?
The Notting Hill Carnival is one of the largest in the world, outside that of Rio in Brazil! It draws millions of people to dance away the days on the streets, but over time because of increasing violence it has in some ways lost its flavour or atmosphere?
Today the Spirit of Notting Hill is now more pronounced in that it has spread to all the major cities and regions of the Afro-Black communities in London! What started a s a Easter religious festival in the Caribbean islands is now described by many Black Christians as a place of debauchery!
As believers we too celebrate the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus and these holidays too have been hijacked by commercialism and filth that try to degrade what we believe in! But a day is coming when we shall join that great wedding feast in Heaven and all those who refused in this life to repent or hear are message will not be at that table?
Matthew 22:2-12, Psalm 20:5, 118:24, Luke 15:6, 32, Revelation 19:7, 11, 17.

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.

Notting Hill Carnival! One.
'Its carnival Time?
The largest street party event in the U.K. is approaching once more, with street music and food from more than just the Caribbean! But so comes bad people, gangs, muggers, thieves and molesters, one gets all of these things in all events even Glastonbury but we don't hear much about it?
What it originally was meant to be has today moved far away, but things like this develop as the mixing pot of London or most big cities occur!
If it ever had a Roman Catholic emphasis, it was never really seen in the forefront and many people from the W-Indian communities who refused to go perhaps revealed truths that others did not want to hear!
Exodus 12:14, 17, Judges 11:40, 1 Chronicles 16:4, Psalm 98:6, Isaiah 38:18, Luke 15:6, 9, 23-24, John 4:36, 1 Corinthians 11:20.

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.
Genesis 3:12-13, Acts 24:25, Romans 1:20.

'Carnival.' Part-One.
Party Time.
We all like to have some party time in our lives, wither it is a birthday, some anniversary or just a time to share our culture.
Music, bands, songs, drinks, food and dancing they make up the best party's?
The bible tells us about parties and celebration feasts, for victory in battles, proclamations of great events.
There are tow kinds of people who like party's and we need to be aware of both of them!
2 Samuel 6:14, Luke 15:12-14.
