'Guy Fawkes.
(Please note, sorry have had a few Internet connection problems and have missed a couple of weeks).
A very British terrorist who is annually celebrated for his defeat on the 5th November. Today we are under constant threat in Russia and the west from home-grown or 'woodbie terrorism, as was seen in Canada last month.
When people run out of talking they resolve to terror and intimidation to get what they want, but for us this should not be our way.
Matthew 5:10-12, John 18:10-11.

Incest. Part-One.
Lot.
The bible is a great book to read, because it deals with all aspects of the human character and this scares many people off.
Many Christians do not like to mention these subjects that we have been covering, because they have become taboo.
But these things need to be discussed and avoided, because there are always bad out comes for our actions if they are not dealt with and sorted out.
Lot the nephew of Abraham was made drunk and silly by his daughters, who slept with him and produced children. These children later became a problem to the people of Israel in the land.
That could mean in your own life or situation families now hate you and your relatives because of this sin.
Genesis 19:31-38, Matthew 14:3-4, 1 Corinthians 5:1.

The Bastard. Part-One.
Illegitimate.
Seventy years ago across many parts of this world it was a scandal to have a child out of wedlock, but many young woman fell victim to devious men. Promises were made, but never kept.
Today nearly everyone born here in the U.K. is from couples living together or the product of one night stands and people don't even have any shame about their actions.
When we are dealing with God, it becomes a whole different matter. He says 'Anyone who is not with Me is a Bastard. This verse troubles many religious or ritual following Church goers.
But you have to make your own choices?
Hebrews 12:8.

Sexual Exploitation. Part-Two.
Exploitation.
People sell themselves for sex and money, but this game is not always of choice. Some people are used or pimped off. The pimp taking a cut or all the money for their own benifit.
Today we come across professional escourt services, some seem legitimate but all are about paying for sexual services. This form of exploitation also leads to pornography and the sex industry in film and the lives of those people involved are destroyed for ever.
What seemed a joke or a prank by some on You Tube can never be stopped because the video will be copied multiple times.
As believers this is a very subtle and dangerous area to fall into the trap, which can lead to worse things such as paedophilia and worse still of contacts and a great fall.
Proverbs 2:16-19, Luke 17:2, Jude 1:7.
