Cannot grow without It?
The Christian faith is the only religion that increases by persecution and we see this from the first one that occurred in Jerusalem, after Pentecost. It may have been a terrible time, but from it the Church spread to Damascus in Syria and to Antioch in what is now south-east modern Turkey!
During the work of the Apostle Paul new Churches were established in Asia, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Rome and both Macedonia and Spain. Within fifty years there were Christians in Iran, N-Africa, the Arabian peninsula and India.
It is terrible today to see Chinese believers being attacked by the state, others driven from their home in the Muslim world and restrictions still placed on them throughout Roman Catholicism, apart from our own new secular humanistic societies were sin is justified as equality and human idealism?

Addictions? One.
Alcoholism to Narcotics!
Psychology believes that we are all addicted to something, and one supposes that why we need psychologists to deal with our addictions?
But there is a truth in that many people struggle with being addicted to drink, smoking, gambling, narcotics and pornography!
Society shapes the sinfulness of the human heart, what was a problem one-hundred years ago is coming back to haunt many nations?
There are many words in the Holy Bible that deals with the condition of our soul and that we are in one right our own destiny by choice?
Psalm 10:3, Proverbs 2:2, 3:5, 4:17, 23:31, Isaiah 5:11, Matthew 5:8, 28. Revelation 14:8.

Terror-ism. Part-Two.
7/7 --- 26/6.
It has now been ten years in the U.K. since terrorist attacked, on 7/7/2005 52 people travelling to and from work were murdered on three underground trains and one bus. Two weeks ago on the 26/6/2015 38 people from seven nations, 30 of them British holidaymakers were gunned down on a Tunisian beach.
In these two horrific attacks 5 terrorists were killed, they were all members of the same affiliated organisation based on the ideas of a few self-styled religious men. Men with their own take on their religion, we would call them Cult leaders.
The bible tells us much about self styled leaders in Jesus day, 34 years after Jesus Ascended back to Heaven a group of religious fanatics lead thousands to their slaughter at Masada, when they stood against the Roman Empire.
Mark 13:1-2, Luke 21:5-18, Proverbs 24:19, Matthew 10:30, 1 Peter 3:14.
