Persecution!

The cost of being a Christian?

We tend to think of Stephen the first martyr of the Church which is mentioned in Acts 6:8-7:60, but we forget that the baby Jesus with His Earthly parents to had to take off in the middle of the night!

An Angels warned the wise men to return another way, while also telling Joseph to go down to Egypt until Herod's term was ended!

So we can see many pictures about human life from the Christmas story and that we will be persecuted and attacked for our simple faith in the death, resurrection and return of Jesus our Lord and Saviour!

Matthew/Levi 2:11-15,   Hosea 11:1.

Terrorism and Wickedness. Two.

'Our free Choice?

God has never been unfair to His creation as some people think He has? 

He has given all of humanity free will and choice for us to work out our own course of life!

All humanity is born into inherited sin, this is our incurable terminal-illness that we on our own cannot fathom to cure or heal!

But God has given to us His one and only Son Jesus, by placing our faith in Him we will enter into the promised New Life!

People are shaped by circumstances to what they become, a hard life can either lead to evil or a born-again active Christian? A good life can lead to being drawn into a false sense of security and many are lead into terrorist idealism?

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!
