Secular Humanism? Part-One.

The enemy of Christian Faith!

Many Christians around the world today have taken on this cause believing that the 'good works of Jesus was for the defence of the poor and they completely miss both His death on the cross and His rising from the dead for their salvation?

Humanism is at times an excuse to get out of commitments to God and much of its ideas are based on Roman Catholicism in the ideal the more good we do, we have a better chance of going to heaven?

But belief in God has to be based on faith and that of being Born-again or anew and it is not based on what we can do, but rather what God has done for us!

As believers we are commanded to do what is right and good and not wrong, this is how we will know on this side of Eternity who are walking with our Lord and who are not!

James 2:8,  1 Peter 3:14, 1 John 2:10,  20-27,  3:14-19,  23. 

Moving to every other Week!

Hi Brothers and Sister?

We are moving now to every other week and hope that you will stay with us?

Personal pressures has forced us to take this action, but we hope to get everything updated such as the Bible study page and perhaps in a few months return to a weekly postings!

Numbers 23:19,    Job 23:13,   Psalm 119:159.

Summer Opportunities? Two.

Every moment an Opportunity!

As believers our main mission is to share our faith in love and win others to Jesus, as we were to won to Him! This witness has to be done in kindness, but also with a warning of the grave consequences that if this message is not heeded disaster lays ahead!

We live in an age of the doctrine of the Love of God and this is true up to a point and that of sin? The bible has not changed in relation to what God has said about sin, only that we who believe by faith have had the law fulfilled for us by Jesus death on the cross/stake/tree!

But when this time of grace or Gods favour is over comes His wrath of Judgement and His conditions will be met before Eternity, which is the final dispensation!

Psalm 5:11,  Proverbs 18:21,  Matthew 3:7,  John 3:15-21,  31-36,  Acts 4:12,  Romans 3:23,  5:9, 6:23,  Galatians 5:14,  Ephesians 2:4,  Colossians 1:28,  3:8,  1 Peter 1:8,  1 John 2:5.

A British Royal Wedding!

Fire, Love, Vows?

Its a time for change in the British Royal family and may it continue over colour and religions, but may these marriages last the trial of life?

Saturday 19th May was Pentecost and the theme was Love and Fire, accompanied by the vows of promises to each other and to God!

Love is something that is much said in our world today, but many of us who have come from broken homes and witnessing domestic violence know how much it was lacking from mum and dad?

But because Jesus found us, He has given us the fullness of His Love in accepting us and yet He was rejected by all at the Cross/stake/tree!

Matthew 18:18,  19:5-6,   Acts 2:3,  Ephesians 4:13,  1 John 3:18,  4:8,   Genesis 2:24,   Numbers 6:21.

Knives! Two.

Islam and Paganism!

This is the one time that the bible mentions something that is still practiced today across the Middle-East, the acknowledgement of justifying self slashing! For them it means the shedding of sins, but this is a false idea and has nothing to do with faith in God!

The cutting of the flesh is as old as men were on the Earth and it probably started in the days of Tubal-Cain before the great flood, but like all sins it has continued! Today we see it in tattooing and many have tried to justify it, but we must not run against God because He wants the best for all of us!

1 Kings 18:28,  Leviticus 19:28,   John 3:3,  15-21,  Romans 3:23,  6 :23.

LOVE Applied?

Where humans Fail!

Sin in us is the block to remembering to keep loving by care, having concern and applying it all the time? Believers on the other hand should be, but there are many reasons as to why we do not?

Jesus did not stop loving and God our Father has not either, since people all around the world everyday are turning from darkness to light!

We have been left an example or pattern to follow and we have one step ahead of the world, since we are a temple for the Holy Spirit He is able to guide us in the application of Love!

Proverbs 2:2,  22:17,  Ezekiel 30:21, James 1:23.

Prayer?

Many Kinds!

God is not limited to hearing us cry out to Him, to give thanks, to praise Him! Humanity likes to jeer God and make Him small and far away, to undermine the people of faith as nutters, weaklings losers?

Prayer does help in our times of need, wither we are praying for our own situation or that of another!

Born-again believers know already that our relationship with God, through Jesus His one and only Son allows us to see the miracles, the impossible at work all the times and everyday!

Our God is near and not limited, He answers in His time and He gives what is needed to meet each situation!

Genesis 13:8,  19:7-8,  Exodus 10:17,  Job 42:8,  Psalm 5:2, Matthew 6:9,  Romans 8:26,  2 Corinthians 13:7,  2 Thessalonians 3:2,  Hebrews 13:8,  3 John 1:2.

Easter. Part-Two.

Jesus perfect and sinless Man!

Jesus chose of His own free will to go to the cross/tree/stake for our purchasing back to God! He was the perfect sacrifice, much better than any animal that had been offered since the days of Abel, Tabernacle and the Temple!

Blood had to be always shed for the remission of sins on everything, we see this on the door posts before the Exodus from Egypt by Moses, we see it in nearly every sacrifice that was offered to God!

But now Jesus died taking our sin on His body and removing past failure, allowing us into a New Life with Him and His father!

Exodus 12;13,  29:20,  Matthew 26:28,  Luke 22:20,  Acts 20:28.

Love. One.

Compassion.

Do we have compassion for other people, especially those in the current news? The immigrants and refugees fleeing war, persecution and death? It is so easy today to say we love, this that and the other, but when it come to practise it can be misconstrued as something else?

The bible tells us that Jesus had compassion on the masses that were out in the fields and hills waiting on Him all day! Jesus had compassion on many people, some had little faith, others found it hard to trust and He too had compassion on us who deserved nothing but punishment for our wrong doing?

Colossians 3:25, Psalm 78:38, 145:8, Matthew 14;14, 15;32, 20:34, Mark 1:41, 8;2, 1 John 3:17.

Sinning. Part-One.

Continuing to Sin.

There are many who claim a faith in God today, but they continue to live in the world, as the world. They show nothing of the New Life that they claim to have in Jesus death and resurrection for them?

God warns those who have believed and who then think that they can abuse their position with Him, will loose their salvation! The blood that Jesus spilt for us on the cross/tree/stake is very precious, it was to buy us back to God.

But if we abuse that relationship by living and continuing on in the sinful nature, we will be refused entry into His rest.

Hebrews 10:26, Numbers 15:28-31, Deuteronomy 17:12, Psalm 19:12-13, Matthew 12:31-32, 1 Timothy 1:13, 2 peter 2:20-22.

All Life Matters. Part-One.

For God so Loved the World..!

Hypocrisy is one of the biggest problems in human nature, along with embarrassment and shame. These are three of the worst and they show us up as real loser's, despite money, success and riches?

Pride is another problem that allows communities to make claims over others that they well know are not true, we are seeing this everyday right across the world.

This is why we have so many wars, local conflicts and problems. But only faith in Jesus with Integrity will help us out of this mess of sin.

Psalm 25:21, Proverbs 19:1, Matthew 23:28, Luke 9:28, John 3:15-18, James 3:17.

SIN. Part-Two.

In and Out.

Food does not effect how we are, except if we make it a problem like gluttony!

What goes into our bodies is not the cause of our failure, it is rather what we say from our hearts that is sinful.

It is of our own choice that we choose to Sin, to fail so we cannot blame another for our own choices?

Matthew 15:10-11,  Mark 7:14-15.

Ufology. Part-One.

'Aliens.

There are many people across the world today, who are convinced that we are neither alone or that the world governments are in contact with Alien visitors.

Many people have claimed that they were abducted by creatures in Flying Saucers?

What can we make from all of these reports? Are some of these folks mentally ill, hoaxers. liers or imagined it?

The bible tells us many thins about space, but it does not tell us of other life forms.

Job 26:7,  1 Corinthians 15:41.

Zyclone-B. Part-One,

Holocaust Denial.

There are plenty of people in the world who like to tell lies.

They like to refuse to admit the truth, they refuse to admit the Holocaust (1938-45) happened.

They have their own agenda and in that agenda, they also show us their contempt for other races just as their leader Adolf Hitler did.

The bible tells us that this is nothing new, the bible has a history of violent, bitter, hatefull and jealous people who did the same things.  

Exodus 1:3-9, The book of Esther, Daniel 1:1-8, Matthew 2:3-13.

But this is not God's way. 

God is not intoerant of humans and the races, He only hates the Sin that stain's us.

Exodus 23:8,  1 Thessalonians 5:22,  Revelation 10:11, 17:15.

Wrapped. Part-Two.

Part of the Royal family.

The shephers, who looked after the sheep, got a real scare, shock when the angels appeared to them. But they obeyed the message that they heard and went see for themselves.

One thousand years earlier the boy shepherd david must of been suprised to be anointed the king of Israel by the prophet Samuel. But he to obeyed and joined the court of evil king saul.

David was like us, he was not perfect and yet the baby Jesus is decended from that Royal line.

The good news don't end yet, we to can be part of the eternal royal family, by placing our faith and trust in jesus, and his works to set us free?

Luke 2:8-20,  1 Samuel 16:11,  Acts 2:44-47,  1 Peter 2:9.

Wrapped. Part-One.

Jesus Promised.

Many people were waiting for the birth of Jesus, they had the faith to believe.

He was expected to be born as a King in a palace, but He came by a virgin and was layed out in an animal drinking basin. In a humble place, or a dirty place, a stable.

Why did He come? Because God loved us, He came to show us Gods ways and the way to return to God, through Him.

Psalm 22:6,  Isaiah 53:2-3,  Luke 2:3-7,  John 1:14,   2 Corinthians 8:9.
