The Harvest Time!

 Reaping souls and Thanksgiving?

Wither we come from a farming or fishing community we can still enjoy the fulness of this special to give thanks to God for what He has done for us this year, more so in saving us and our families from the Coronavirus?

But there is always work to be done when we are believers in the death and resurrection of Jesus, the fields are white as snow and He said that the workers were few!

Our challenge from God is always to take up the gauntlet and be getting on with His work over that of our own?

Halloween and Christmas are ahead, they are great opportunities to reach out to our respective communities and families with the Good News message of Jesus?

John 4:35,   Luke 1:79,   Romans 3:21-31,  2 Corinthians 1:11,  1 Timothy 3:16.

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.

Terrorism and Wickedness. One.

Historical!

This is the time of the year when Europeans and all nations linked to them around the world mark Halloween, when God overthrew the power of Satan!

The holiday and festival has much to do with children today, but some aspects of it still remain the reserve of Pagans and Witchcraft?

November the 5th is Guy Fawkes night, marking the burning on the strake of a very British terrorist!

Most nations and cultures will have their historic moments of victory over evil, wither Spiritual or criminal?

But these evils come from choices made by individuals!

Job 34:4,  Psalm 25:12,  73:9,  125:5,  Philippians 1:10, Hebrews 10:26.

Meeting the Ancestors?

All Hallows/Halloween!

Nearly every culture around the globe has something similar at some point of the year, where there folklore has to deal with the living and the dead and some form of contact being made? This time of the year was dreaded in the belief of meeting the ancestors, especially if you were a murderer since all would be revealed?

Today the Christian festivals of All Hallows and Halloween have been hijacked by commercialism and the message of Jesus light over the powers of the devil lost in the fun and fireworks?

But Jesus did defeat Satan at the temptation in the wilderness and finally at the cross and Jesus resurrection from the dead for all of us who have been set free from darkness into our New Life relationships with Him!

Psalm 18:5,  Matthew/Levi 4:1, 10:28,  John 8:12,  9:5,  12:46,  2 Peter 2:4.

I Fear No Evil. Part-Two.

Zombies.

The African man and the Europeans both believe in the walking dead, but for different reasons.

In Jamaica they call the walking dead 'Duppies.'  This means white people. In Haiti the risen dead are called 'Zombies. 

Black Africans saw the return of the dead for revenge on the living.

Europeans see it as a time to again meet with dead relatives. 31st October. 'Halloween.

Jesus said to his disciples 'don't be troubled.'  

Matthew 14:26-27, Mark 6:49-50.
