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. 

Crime Initiatives?

 Bike 4 Knives and the many Others!

But the question to be asked is do they work and if there has been so many it proves that most of them did not work, dealing with the mindset is expensive so one had to understand why the alternatives?

Society is good at making excuses, we see many alternative ecological groups try to promote green energy to save the planet? Yet most of them smoke some kind of  pot and thus encourage deliveroo for narcotics and that draw more of the bike for knives youth into another evil!

What is at the heart of the matter is attitude and only God can really change us from what we were to what we are now! At the same time God is the only one who knows our hearts and motives and as we have already seen people with initiatives don't really want to spend the money on the right kinds of help?

Psalm 44:21,   Proverbs 14:10,   16;2,  21:27,   Acts 15:8,   1 Thessalonians 2:3-4.

The Easter Impact! Two.

 The rolling Stone?

The grave could not hold Jesus the Son of God and as He promised He would be raised on the third day from the grave, those who followed Him came to the garden and saw that mighty stone had been rolled away!

Matthew/Levi 28:2,  Mark 15:46, 16:4. Luke 24:2, John 20:1.

The question to be asked is do we too have a stone that covers our hearts, when it comes to God and Jesus? 

A stone that can only really be moved by God, if would but turn to Him and believe we would be a New person and He would give to us a New Heart and a New Life?

Ezekiel 11:19,  36:26.

Thou shall Not?

Grace and Law.

The world lives under the Laws of God found in Exodus chapter 20, but we who know Jesus as our personal saviour are under His Grace.

It is hard to tell people sometimes that we have been chosen! Many of us were going our own way and out of the blue, things changed and soon we discovered the knowledge that we were in a depraved state of sin?

You see the Law does not save us, it condems us to be breakers of its demands!

God's grace on the other hand gives us the promise of a New Start with Him to Freedom!

Jeremiah 3:13,  Colossians 2:20-23,  3:1-4,  10-11.

'Second Class. Part-Two.

Delivered, Rescued, Redeemed.

The pressure, the oppression it cannot last for ever, but sometimes it seems too? Many people have gone through the mill of life and they have been delivered by God, God chose us not because we were good.

But because we saw what we were and called out to Him and He heard us and changed us, because he sees us not as we are, but as what he has for us.

So if you think you are a second class whatever, trust Him now and get delivered to destination Heaven. 

Psalm 119:122,  134,  Luke 1:74-75,  Acts 9:31.

Racism. Part-Two.

Changeable Man.

This is the problem with the term racism is that humans change their stance, one will say they are racist to me while they maintain their right to be racist to another. Genesis 4:9.

Jesus has never entrusted Himself to any human being, because from early on He knew these people who praised Him for the healing and miracles would be the same ones who would shout, 'Crucify Him' when that time came. John 2:25-26.

The sin in our hearts must first be addressed to God and in repentance, that is real allowing our minds and attitudes to be changed. John 3:15-21, Galatians 1:4.
