Being a Believer!

 And not a fake religious Hypocrite?

Our fellowships are full of long time goers, who are not saved coming out eventually with statements that prove who they really are and the damage that they have caused over the years to many others, if not the younger generations that we wonder why they will or never have come to faith!

God tells us in his word that even the angels who broke cover were cast into Hell and all those who practice evil out of pride and other sensuality face the same fate, unless they repent.

We are told in the New Testament to speak and keep the truth, since we cannot deny what God has done in us and we are to avoid bad company, since they with the power of Satan drag us backwards?

1 Corinthians 10:13, 15:33, 2 Peter 2:4-10, Revelation 3:10, 3:20. 

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.

White people are all not Guilty!

 Holidays parade Attack?

The FBI and CIA have a problem with white Islam or terrorism that might be connected to the Islamic State since there are no white Muslim converts!

The United States from Kenosha to the Whitehouse still has problems with white people taking the law into their own hands and even doing a Las Vegas, because only dark skinned people must do bad things?

Hypocrisy and ignorance still exists in the Biden administration, where a long term politician will do the talk and nothing else accept praise the jury system to cover his own failing with child cages on the Mexican border!

Job 22:12, Lamentations 3:25, Luke 16:15, Acts 8:21. 

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.

Genocide! Part-One.

What we can do to each Other?

Slavery is one of the oldest forms of coveting in the world, it is as old as prostitution! Humanity has the potential to dream dreams and commit acts of both debauchery and evil at the same time, history has proved this case through our existence!

The need for others to service our needs and to build or design or make or create has always been over that of using our own people! Submission of enemies to learn who is the master, may work both ways and this has also been seen in kingdoms and nations, even to this present day!

Slavery comes in its many forms, today its called domestic, or servitude, where people are not free to escape or not able for lack of will or mental capability?

Even faith in God can be described as slavery, but this burden is much lighter than being a slave to sin!

Genesis 16:2-3,  Deuteronomy 21:14,  Matthew 11:28-30,  John 3:15-21,  8:34,  Romans 3:22-23,  6:22-23.

'Our Heart? Two.

Where are We?

We know that God tells us that our hearts are deceptive, we may like to think that we are alright? Because we are living in the right way in our own eyes, people like us, respect us, because we are being honest and truthful?

But this is not enough with God, we have to believe that Jesus died for our failures and rose again on the third day from the grave! It is through our confession and repentance that we make that mental change of our attitudes of hostility towards Him, that tell and ask for His forgiveness of past failures then we are born again?

We have a choice to make and being Born-Again does not mean an excuse to pretend to be saved and live as the world, but to be filled with the Holy Spirit and live in the power of God daily in this hostile world?

Genesis 50:21,  Deuteronomy 28:67,  Psalm 28:3,  73:7,  John 2:25,  3:3.  15-18,  Romans 3:22-23.

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.

The Chasm? Part-Two/

Many have it in this life?

These many include the many who claim to be Christians, but the reality is that they are imposters!

They are like the greedy evil people of this world who are now enjoying the fruits on the backs of others, but God is not blind and He will not be mocked when all of humanity will have to face the Judgement seat of God!

What many forget is that there is no once saved always saved and it is up to us to work out our own salvation by keeping on the path of truth!

The chasm that is in place between us and God has been filled by Jesus, since He is the only way to salvation! It is he who we must seek and who real followers must press on with daily!

1 Samuel 25:36,  2 Thessalonians 1:4-10,  James 5:1-7,  Revelation 22:11.

Answered Prayers!

Not to be taken Lightly!

1 Kings 8:49, Psalm 86:7, Proverbs 28:9, Matthew 6:7, Acts 2:42, 2 Corinthians 1:11, Revelation 8:3.

Many people pray and think nothing more about what they have done, some hope others do it out of ritual or traditions? But we can say it has worked after three weeks of coughing sneezing and two more weeks of other problems, we are hopefully back on form?

God says he hears us when we pray and prayer is not always hands or actions, but rather thoughts in our mind and words from our hearts!

'Oh God help, 'I'm in trouble, 'One or we cannot cope with this or that?

It is God who knows if we are genuine in what we are saying or not and He will answer us in His right timing!

In times of Trouble? One.

What a friend we Have!

Our world and our nations are under attack from a ruthless army, who attack soft targets to maim mostly woman and children and also Christians! These are the big men of the Islamic State, who are proving their cowardliness to us now!

But we know that their are many evil forces at work, who are equally cruel in vice and trafficking, blackmail and extortion? All is not lost, if we know that we have a friend like Jesus in our hearts and lives!

He is the one who gives us the daily hope to go on, despite all that both Manchester, Westminster Bridge and the attacks in Egypt are costing in death, destruction and emotional breakdown. We who believe knows that our God never gives up on us, because 'We have a friend in Jesus, such a precious friend!

Proverbs 17:17, Luke 11:12, James 2:23.

The ball is Rolling. Part-One.

Trumps Vision Fulfilled.

Don't say you were not warned?

It is sad when people in despair fall into the revenge trap, thinking their actions will get results. The murder now of eight U.S. Police men in two major 'Black Power' attacks and 29 having died this year, will give the oppertunity for Donald Trump the excuse to possible wipe out the comminity?

Tyrants like to play the ticket of doing what is right, getting the problem sorted? Even when they tell a pack of lies to fool the conservative of any society. In the Bible we see such a proud loyal man as Haman, who sought to destroy one group of people in the Babylonian nation out of sheer jealousy.

Esther 3:1-2, Psalm 12:8, Proverbs 29:2, Phillipians 2:10.

Gay Pride.

The answers in the Name.

Homosexuality is a sin before God, wither we know Him or not!

There are many today who profess faith in Jesus and yet practice this sin.

For you who continue to do this, thens its fine for swindlers and liars to be in the Church with you. Even murders and child abusers all continuing on knowing that Jesus loves us?

How sad that you have been deluded by Satan. When we repent we turn from our sins and try not to be tempted back again into them.

Psalm 10:4-6,  Isaiah 3:9-10,  Matthew 5:17-20,  Romans 1:26-16,  6:1-2,  Revelation 22:11-15.

No tit for Tat!

We are not called to do Evil!

The world is full of anger about the loss of what it wants over that of letting go and sharing?

Believers in Jesus by faith in His death and resurrection have been set free from the powers of darkness!

We are no longer what we were and in this New Life, that begins the moment we believed we are not a people of doing tit for tat.

Psalm 38:20,  1 Thessalonians 5:15,  1 Peter 3:9.

A Warning.

Don't be too Cool?

When we open the door to evil, it will stay with us and we will continue to have problems no matter were we go!

Admitting failure and turning from it brings humility, but also a will to learn to find a new and better way with God.

God does not give up on anyone who keeps trusting Him!

But those who continue to do evil face Judgement and Eternal separation!

Proverbs 17:13,  Psalm 35:12,  Romans 12:17.

SLAVERY. Part-One.

Human Exploitation.

Man has always done this to one another and despite historical claims that it was ended, it continues all over the wold to this day. It has many new names, exploitation, trafficking, cheap labour are just but a few.

There are many societies and communities who rely upon this for services, sexual prostitution and imprisoned labour. Many woman working for rich people are daily beaten, their passports are withheld and they suffer humiliation.

The Travelling/Gypsy communities continue to steal and exploit venerable people for all kinds of work, while young girls and woman are used for prostitution.

North-America and Europe are not excluded from this evil, even by their antiquated laws. In fact it is the rich countries that are the most lucrative for all of this.

Exodus 21:1-11, 1 Corinthians 7:21, Colossians 3:22-25, 1 Timothy 1:10,  Revelation 18:13.

Wicked. Part-Two.

A New Way.

Traditionally we associate wickedness with witchcraft and Voodoo or similar beliefs, but today we face new names in our plural world for the same evils.

Humanism, Rational explanations and secular thinking are these three new ways that turn our minds away from believing in God.

They set the agenda for equality that includes sexuality which opposes Gods will, doubts at to did God really say that and that science has the answers to explain way all the awesome events and miracles in the bible!

Genesis 3:1-3,  Psalm 73:11-13,  Hosea 7:2-3,  John 3:15-18,  Romans 3:23,  6;23,   Ephesians 2:1-4.

'Wicked. Part-One.

Devil, Evil and Satan.

Lots of people say that they don't believe in God, but they also think the Devil is another Christian myth. Yet many have chosen to follow the way of wickedness, because it gives them money, sex and power.

Matthew 4:10,  Ephesians 6:11,  Revelation 12:9.

They are surrounded by wealth, but they are really in poverty and some know it but they dont know how to get out of the cycle of being trapped.

Jesus said, 'I Am the Light of the world.  John 8:12,  12:46.

This is the first step to getting free for good.

Excuses for... Part-Two.

Choosing Light or Darkness.

Humanity has been given free will by God for us to choose our own destiny in life, wither we do bad and evil? Live in the darkness of denial and ignorance or we choose to believe and follow Jesus?

Doing what is right, fair and honest in His light, not pleasing people, not doing good deeds so we get the praise of the world. But rather serving Jesus and doing what is right, looking for no return or thanks but pressing on for our crown in Heaven.

John 12:35-36,  Proverbs 4:19,  Hebrews 3:7-8.

Sexual Exploitation. Part-Two.

Exploitation.

People sell themselves for sex and money, but this game is not always of choice. Some people are used or pimped off. The pimp taking a cut or all the money for their own benifit.

Today we come across professional escourt services, some seem legitimate but all are about paying for sexual services. This form of exploitation also leads to pornography and the sex industry in film and the lives of those people involved are destroyed for ever.

What seemed a joke or a prank by some on You Tube can never be stopped because the video will be copied multiple times.

As believers this is a very subtle and dangerous area to fall into the trap, which can lead to worse things such as paedophilia and worse still of contacts and a great fall.

Proverbs 2:16-19,  Luke 17:2, Jude 1:7.

Sexual Exploitation. Part-One.

Prostitition.

We normally associat this proffession with woman, and men paying for sex. But it is the bible that tells us that men and boys are also exploited into this game of evil.

Sex was created by God for men and woman to enjoy the reproduction process and it was to be within love and marriage, anything outside of this was to be treated as sin.

Genesis 38:15, 21, Deuteronomy 23:18, Joel 3:3, 1 Corinthians 6:16-17, Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5.
