#blm in Retrospect?

 A past Event! 

One was taken recently to hear U.S. media reporting that the Black lives Movement was something of a past event and that it no longer had any powers in relation to the present situation in the States?

But this must be lies, since recent shootings of more young black men has nor been fully addressed either by Joe Biden or Kamela Harris, with troopers being called into settle the situation!

It would seem that the current administration has only its eyes on the Ukraine and what historical fame that will bring to the current leadership, while domestic issues just will be laid by?

 Acts 17:30, Ephesians 4:18, 2 Peter 3:16.

Domestic Abuse! Part-Two.

Breakdown, but not Breakup?

All relationships will have periods of stress and friction, since we are all sinners and fall all the time! Marriages are built on vows to God and promises to each other, that couples should take seriously and stop emphasising themselves and what they want!

We can have a breakdown in a relationship, but it does not mean the end even when their is violence? Because some violence can be treated and stopped, especially by good friends around us who can intervene and advise?

In other cases things just get worse and couples have to split apart, in these case one side may face time in prison for their foolish actions? There are so many combination of factors at play in the human psyche proving that we are much more intelligent than any of the other creatures around us!

Deuteronomy 24:1,  Ecclesiastes 5:4-5,  Matthew 5:31,  Mark 10:4,   Hebrews 6:13-17. 

Domestic Abuse! Part-One.

Begins in the Church?

What a terrible thing to say, but this is a truth that many believers refuse to admit to at any level of counselling?

Many a minister goes home and hits his wife or husband for saying the wrong thing, looking or being friendly with you know who and so the list of failure continues while the veneer of respectability covers the cracks of keeping face!

Our society at this time in the west is very complex with relationships of every kind that are outside the confines of the Holy Scriptures! We live in a world of more self and so more sin comes with it, if people and believers would only admit these failings revival would break out everywhere!

Job 24:15-18,   Proverbs 2:16-19,   Isaiah 57:3-4,   Matthew/Levi 5:28,   Romans 7:3,   Philippians 1:10,   1 Timothy 1:9-10.

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.

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.
