Relationship with Jesus!
We may think that we have many friends or perhaps we know them as associates, but are they really our close mates or buddies or are they out to get something from us?
The old Hymn opens with these words, 'What a friend we have in Jesus!
This is true, He really is the best and only friend that we can really have, if we seek, confess our failure and turn from it into being born-again as a new creation?
Now we will have that friendship, knowing that Jesus will intercede on our behalf to the Father! He will hear our prayers and guide us through the daily reading of His words in the Holy Bible!
Matthew 7:7-8, John 14:27, Revelation 3:19-20.

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.

Love and Forgiveness? Two.
We cannot live without Love!
As a species love is a key element to our existence and the world cannot do without it!
Animals mate by cycles that they have no control over, but we humans can make choices wither we want to or not?
The world craves love, but if we who claim a faith in Jesus, then we must put His love for others into action! Loving those the world reject, fellow believers and their situations, the homeless, family, friends and enemies alike?
We also must learn to forgive all of the above, since God forgave us our failings!
Proverbs 10:12, 17:9, Matthew 18:22, John 3:15-16, 1 Corinthians 13:13, Galatians 5:17-26, James 5;20, 1 Peter 4:2

Love and Forgiveness? One.
Lacking Today!
Forgiveness would help solve many issues today in our world and society, and it is lacking on an individual, national and idealistic level! Our world is full of rights, civil, political and judicial, but nothing ever really seems to get sorted?
People lack trust in the selfishness of a want, must have society that demands more and more tat? Tech is out of date the minute we use it, designer clothing is nothing more than some ones name of a third world produced product!
Where do we stand in all of this, with Gods dynamic faith?
Prayer is good and we need it, practicing charity and doing good works, volunteering does make a change!
But preaching the gospel and telling others about what Jesus has done for us is the best of all, because it sows seeds that will change lives, today, tomorrow, next year!!!!
Psalm 130:4, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:14.

PEACE?
Human ideal and our Constant!
We always hear the world talking about the ideal of peace and yet it seems to be a continued elusive process, yet for us who are born of the Holy Spirit back to God through the blood of Jesus we have peace as our constant companion?
God is kind to us who have come to believe and to strengthen us daily to be able to live in this world we have the peace of Jesus in our hearts, that the world cannot have unless it too repents!
We can offer real this peace of Jesus to others by our words, in sickness, in fear, in trouble, in strife and they can respond to us, if they hear in thanks and maybe to God in confession!
Genesis 26:29, Job 21:9, Psalm 4:8, 34:14, Matthew/Levi 10:13, Luke 8:48, John 3:15-18, 14:27, Acts 10:36, Romans 3:22-23, 5:1, Galatians 5:22, James 3:18.

Genocide! Part-Three.
Russian Pogroms to the Nazi-Holocaust?
European Jewry has had a history of Christian based hatred against them, based on that of betraying and killing Jesus! But this is one of many excuses and we humans are very good at telling lies, being jealous and hating each other in the outworking of sin!
The Russian Pogroms were based on religious lies and less than ten years later most of those priests were hanging from gallows in the Russian revolution of 1917 which lead to the formation of the Soviet Union.
From 1928 an the rise of Nazism lead by Adolf Hitler, there was a deep seated hatred over the Armistice and its follow on humiliation! Why not blame someone for our own mistakes and this lead gradually to the systematic murder of one race and all who protected them!
You might think that you are on your high horse of rights, many young black youth today are represented by Jewish solicitors in the U.K. Jews lead the world in medicine and inventions and much more that are humanitarian breakthroughs!
But God has the ultimate plan of gentile salvation and the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel's Salvation too!
Exodus 19:6, Deuteronomy 17:8, 1 Samuel 28:17, Matthew/Levi 4:17, Luke 17:21, John 18:36, Acts 1:3-6, 28:31, Galatians 5:21, Hebrews 1:8, 2 Peter 1:11, Revelation 12:10.

Genocide! Part-Two.
Armenia and Windrush?
Racism is not limited in the world to the effects of the former European Empires of Imperial times, but also to the Muslim world from Barbary to the Turkish unification before and after the fall of the Ottoman Empire?
Armenia was a genocide on a par with that of the Jewish Holocaust and the Japanese work force death camps of Manchuria 1931-45.
But here now in the 21st Century boarding papers for a whole group of loyal British citizens was lost and excused by our own PM Mrs. May who continues to lie and cheat this nation of its democracy?
Even Donald Trump is fixated with a wall that Genghis Khan sailed round back in the days of ancient China and so much for the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific ocean! He even has the audacity to justify employing an anti-Semite and Hitler lover to build this wall for him?
Humanities ability to hate, to separate, to kill fellow humans is unlimited! One hopes that faith in Jesus will win the day, seeing what Jesus saw having compassion and loving those who hate us is the key to showing who and what we believe in!
