MANIA!

 Fear of loosing Power?

The Christmas story has so much blessing and hope in it, yet it also has horror in relation to the wise men from the east visiting the Kings palace in Jerusalem to meet the Messiah and the Savior of the Gentiles!

King Herod, who was only a proxy King in name and a vessel of the Roman occupation was in fear that another line of the David family was going to take his throne and he was infuriated when the three kings did not return to the palace!

Jesus and His earthly mother and father had to flee to Egypt as Herod ordered the massacre of all male children from baby to two years old in Israel.

Today we are experiencing a transition of power in the U.S. that is not nice and the President Biden is proving to be no better than Trump, each clinging on to power and maybe with Trump in four years time the situation now in S-Korea will be playing out in the U.S.?

Luke 1:68-72, 2:1-15, Acts 13:23, 32-33, 38, Hebrews 9:25-28, Revelation 7:17.

Stop and Search!

 Black Girls feel raped by Police?

Stop and search has been a big issue in the U.K. ever since it was introduced and the black and Asian communities have always felt picked on by the police as a deliberate act.

Recently a number of under age teenage black girls have been asked to strip naked, with no appropriate adult being present and many feel that they have been assaulted and left traumatised by the whole matter!

Meanwhile as is the usual in the United Kingdom of great Britain the police have once more excused themselves and any relations between the communities is now once more at a low ebb?

 Psalm 41:12, Proverbs 10:9, Romans 3:19, Titus 2:7.

Buffalo and Texas!

 It's happening again and again and it will continue?

That might be hard to swallow, but it is a truth that we human beings never seem to learn, despite hundreds of years of slavery, the scientific age that down graded people by their races and then Pogrom's and the Holocaust and much since, we are the same caught in inherited sin!

Laws would help, but we have seen in the united States a great weakness today more so that the 1960's to deal with rights, lies is now acceptable and their is no bar to any morality or Biblical truth that many profess to be, when they are not?

God sees and desires us who have faith in Jesus to share Him daily, because He is the only way to get out of this mess and be free! This not the freedom of secular humanism that has shipwrecked the Church and the Christian community, it is one of our hearts and minds!

 Acts 22:28, John 8:36, Romans 5:16, 6:18, 8:2, 1 Corinthians 7:21-22, Galatians 3:28, 4:21, Ephesians 6:8, 1 Peter 2:16, Revelation 13:16.

Don't Panic?

An opportunity to Reflect!

This is not a great or good situation to be in at this time, with many dying around us but it is a time when we can reflect on what God is doing for us?

Not all is lost and much can be gained, being with family may rebuild lost bonds or show us the worth of our relationships that may have been hidden by the busyness of our hectic lives?

In our reflection we get to be parents of our children helping them to faith through games and others from the Bible, if not ourselves improving our prayer time and study and praising God with the music that we have gathered over the time of our conversion!

1 Chronicles 16:10,   Psalm 5:11,   31:7,   63:11,   89:16,   149:5,   Proverbs 24:17,   Isaiah 12:3,  Luke 15:10,   Romans 5:11,  Philippians 3:3,  1 Peter 1:8,   Revelation 19:7.

Secular Humanism! Part-Two.

Taking away the real Meanings! Halloween.

Discounting God is the ultimate aim of humanism, to put a doubt in our minds almost the same way that Satan deceived Eve in the garden of Eden and brought humanity all this trouble!

If we are old enough to know, 'Halloween is to show children that Good always overcomes evil and it has to be simple for most of them?

But today children are being bombarded with deviant sexual education and that of a new king of totalitarianism in that parents no longer have any say to the state!

Slowly everything that is considered good and right is being ebbed away and it shows in the society around us, more lies being heaped on the already existing failures!

Numbers 14:18,  Job 34:37,  Luke 14:18,  Acts 1:3,  Romans 3:19,   2 Thessalonians 2:3,  James 1:6.

The Harvest Festival?

'A time to give thanks to the Lord!

Harvest time is traditional in the western Churches, because it gave a time to be thankful for the provision of God on the land even when it was not so good it was better than nothing?

But we may not fit in culturally to this set up, but still we can give thanks to God for His salvation and the great changes He has made for us in our New Lives!

There is always something to thank Jesus for in this New Life, daily miracles, children, blessings, deliverance, healing and the list could be endless?

Deuteronomy 8:10,   Psalm 44:8,   Jeremiah 33:11,   Mark 6:41,   Luke 2:28,   Romans 14:6, Colossians 4:2,   1 Timothy 4:4.

Fatty Issues. One.

Later in life Illnesses?

Weight is a serious problem in the western world today, but it nothing new accept now it is more widespread than before and more children are obese?

Everyone is talking or reporting, but no one is dealing with all the social issues that cause these problems! Work hours, depression, addictions, social disruption, greed, and laziness are some of the problems that are causing the further breakdown of the family unity?

The other factor is that we are bombarded with media advertising on both TV and radio, if not the mobile phone and the Internet?

The bible talks about fat people too and it also encourages one to exercise both physically and mentally!

Psalm 36:8,  Judges 3:22, Proverbs 13:4, 1 Timothy 4:8.

Social Media! Part-One.

The Facebook Debacle?

Today we depend on social media within the Internet to do most things, young people and every new generation of young children are more and more savvy to using it as a normal activity! But we tend to forget that prior to this it was Newspapers and comics that had the domain for over two-hundred years in the world of the printed press?

Facebook made a serious error of judgement and trust is doing what is normal in the world of data and personal information, since most companies will sell your data to others! But who is not being blamed is the British (Canadian registered) Cambridge Analytica who is responsible for political election interference in both the U.K. and the United States!

This hack was alleged to have taken place in the Ukraine by Israel Mossad agents, but it seems that Hillary Clinton and Theresa May believes this is Russia? They must of been crap at school with geography? 

Exodus 28:38,  Ephesians 4:14, 1 Thessalonians 2:3,  Jude 1:11.

CHRISTMAS. Part-Three.

Three Kings.

Wise men or the Magi, set out from Babylonia and followed the long awaited bright star. It took them one year to get to Jerusalem and they headed for the palace to seek the King of Israel.

There they met the mad, paranoid king Herod who was bemused of their arrival. But he had a hidden agenda as so many do!

The Magi eventually found Jesus and presented Him their gifts. But on leaving an angel told them to go a different way. Thus when Herod found out, he felt mocked. But his intentions was not to honour Jesus, rather to start a genocide, in which every male child up to two years old was murdered.

Matthew 2:1-11,  2:15-18, Genesis 35:16-20,  Jeremiah 31:15.

Fatherhood. Part-Two.

Relationships?

What was or is you contact with dad?

If you aint got a dad, this will reflect on your son or our child too!

Gods ways is always the best ways, He wants the best for us and since He is our dad.

We should confess, comit and trust him as His children!

Proverbs 10:1,  23:24,  29:3, 15.
