Peace!

 The elusive failure?

Everyone is calling for peace in the Middle-East, yet mention the Ukraine and it is all out war to the end and the numbers are interesting Gaza has seen 30,000 dead a Hamas claim which cannot be truly verified, while the Ukraine has seen 360,000 dead on all sides and the possibility of another 500,000 this being a real genocide!

Both Europe and the U.S. are divided giving aide with one hand and on the other a shopping list of weapons on the other and meanwhile the President of the free world is talking more rubbish to the world and home, since he is well demented?

There are many who are seeking peace in both conflicts and many others around the world and we must give thanks to God for them, even in our own lands, towns and cities, in community relations, the police and immigration too!

Psalm 120:7, Ecclesiastes 3:8, Matthew/Levi 5:9, John 14:27, James 3:18.

The Christmas Story!

'More to it than meets the Eye?

After the wise men departed, an angel told Mary and Joseph to flee to Egypt with the Child, meanwhile King Herod felt that he was tricked by the Magi and ordered the genocide of all children from babes to two years old!

We don't here much about these historical facts today and people are quick anyway to even forget Holocaust in our current history?

Jesus birth coincides with the Roman census a governmental way of gathering essential data on the  population, something that has been continued to this day!

The who story of Christmas in these few New Testament Gospels covers a three year period and this would occur again, when the ministry of Jesus would happen up to that of the cross and His resurrection from the dead!

We hope that you will have a happy and peaceful Christmas season and not limit oneself to one tradition? For others this may be a time to seek God and find His forgiveness of Sins in and through Jesus?

Genocide! Part-Two.

Armenia and Windrush?

Racism is not limited in the world to the effects of the former European Empires of Imperial times, but also to the Muslim world from Barbary to the Turkish unification before and after the fall of the Ottoman Empire?

Armenia was a genocide on a par with that of the Jewish Holocaust and the Japanese work force death camps of Manchuria 1931-45. 

But here now in the 21st Century boarding papers for a whole group of loyal British citizens was lost and excused by our own PM Mrs. May who continues to lie and cheat this nation of its democracy?

Even Donald Trump is fixated with a wall that Genghis Khan sailed round back in the days of ancient China and so much for the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific ocean! He even has the audacity to justify employing an anti-Semite and Hitler lover to build this wall for him?

Humanities ability to hate, to separate, to kill fellow humans is unlimited! One hopes that faith in Jesus will win the day, seeing what Jesus saw having compassion and loving those who hate us is the key to showing who and what we believe in!

Numbers 14:19,  1 Kings 8:50,  2 Chronicles 36:15,  Psalm 17:10,  Proverbs 12:10,  Isaiah 54:8,  Mark 2:10, Luke 10:33,  Ephesians 4:32,  Colossians 3:12.

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.

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.
