Anarchy!
The world is mad at the moment with its conceptions of what is politics, many are being seen for what they are and what they should not be?
Many nations are in political anarchy and they can no longer hide their lies or pull the wool over peoples eyes! Meanwhile those in opposition are no better, with confusion reigning and members allowed to run wild with their ideas and prejudices?
Who to vote for and what will be the outcome, this is now becoming a harder question than it has been for some time, and one does not know the answer!
But faith in Jesus, is the answer to a New Life and a New way! Leaving behind the concerns of the world, and coming into new things!
Yes we have to live in the world, but the world will no longer live in us!
Matthew 5:14, 24:21, Mark 10:30, Luke 9:25, John 1:9, 29, 1 Corinthians 3:19.

Our Heart? One.
Judge not and be not Judged!
Everything in relation to our condition starts with ourselves?
We today are going to look at how others see us, in relation to our conduct and walk with God! They may not see us fully as they think they see themselves and so they may think we are not saved or have come to a fulness in God?
But it is the heart within us that is where God is working, something that cannot be fully seen by others! One has to draw on ones own experience, because I have been judged by others as not being Born-Again?
Romans 10:8-9, Acts 13:38-39, Matthew 10:32-33, 2 John 1:7.

RETURN?
The Lord!
We are told that even Jesus does not know when He will come back, but He is coming back at the time that the father chooses!
In the rush of the world and Christian activity, many forget this one important promise? We look to Christmas and Easter with some emphasis and we press on with all that daily life throws at us, we may recall the day or moment we were saved, converted?
We may hope for relief or pray for many things, think on the death and resurrection of Jesus? But we forget His Ascension and promised return, some are confused by the book of Revelation but here we are only dealing with that promised return and the result of the Judgement that is to follow !
So our conduct is to be examined now unless we are found naked and ashamed on that great and terrible day?
Psalm 98:9, Ezekiel 16:37, Mark 13:33-37, Acts 17:31, Romans 2:5-6, 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3, Revelation 1:7, 16:15.

Our Choices? One.
Determine!
Many people find it easier to blame the environment for failed choices, over that of taking responsibility?
It is always easy to blame another factor and we see this first in the garden of Eden, when Adam blamed Eve! But Adam knew as well as eve that they were not to eat from the tree of knowledge, so they both shared in this disobedience to God which brought in the second sin of shame!
What is happening in our lands, cities and streets are well within our influence and this is proved by the reaction of people to build up mistrust that then fuels the laws of the ghetto or anarchy!
Genesis 2:25, Psalm 119:116, Proverbs 8:10, Mark 8:38, Acts 15:7, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Titus 2:8.

Aftermath?
One stabbing, 347 arrested 30 police injured!
Two days of bands, spice food, dancing, drink, Grenfell and wrong attitude, with one million in attendance?
2019 is in the planning and so is the heightened security in relation to a probable Islamic terrorist attack!
This year it would seem the community did work together for another great parade, but they still do not seem to want to end the gang violence that could see the end of this annual street party?
Where are the Christians, why are they not seen to be speaking out and if not why not?
Genesis 31:44, Proverbs 6:19, 14:25, Mark 10:19, Exodus 20:12-16, Romans 9:1, 2 Timothy 4:1.

Notting Hill Carnival! Two.
Acid, guns and Knives?
Another year another opportunity for the gangs to spoil the event for all the others, including the many foreign tourists and another year for the new locals wanting to see a final end to this unwanted street party?
Time will tell if it will last, once known for its race riots, today it is associated with criminals, drug dealers and thieves! Time will also tell if the Hackney and Brixton events will finally replace it and spread out to more local parades that can be controlled?
People want to enjoy themselves and west-Indian culture has nothing to do with criminal activity, but was once based on a Christian festival that was adapted over the years! Carnival should be inclusive, but all cross community for it to diverse, grown and continue to be the best of the best?

Notting Hill Carnival! One.
'Its carnival Time?
The largest street party event in the U.K. is approaching once more, with street music and food from more than just the Caribbean! But so comes bad people, gangs, muggers, thieves and molesters, one gets all of these things in all events even Glastonbury but we don't hear much about it?
What it originally was meant to be has today moved far away, but things like this develop as the mixing pot of London or most big cities occur!
If it ever had a Roman Catholic emphasis, it was never really seen in the forefront and many people from the W-Indian communities who refused to go perhaps revealed truths that others did not want to hear!
Exodus 12:14, 17, Judges 11:40, 1 Chronicles 16:4, Psalm 98:6, Isaiah 38:18, Luke 15:6, 9, 23-24, John 4:36, 1 Corinthians 11:20.
