'On the verge of a world Plague?

 Omicron can cross to Rats!

We are living in dire times and no one is admitting to anything in relation to this virus and its mutations, with the latest news, things are only going to get worse?

But the Holy Bible has already told us that plagues are coming and we must try not to worry, because the end is drawing near!

If we believe and live by faith nothing will worry us or should not?

But from time to time Satan will attack us, but we must not loose heart this Christmas and New year, we again have the opportunity to share you with family and friends!

Exodus 9:14, Habakkuk 3:5, Matthew 6:28, Mark 13:11, Luke 12:22, 1 Peter 3:14,  Revelation 15:1-8.

SALVATION!

Longed for many Generations?

And now it is revealed to us who are being saved by the mercy of God through the blood of Jesus and we are being sustained by His grace daily to serve Him in many different kinds of ways!

What we have in these last times was something that was not fully understood by the Prophets of long ago, who preached the word of God and yet they wondered what was the fullness of what they were saying?

But we today live in the times of grace, since we believe in Jesus death and resurrection by faith and not on works, but they have since followed our conversion?

Psalm 22:1-21,  Isaiah 49:6,   Zechariah 6:12,  Luke 24:44,   John 3:3,  14-18,   Acts 4:12,  Romans 3:21-31,  Hebrews 4;12-13,  11:13,  40,  1 Peter 1:10-11.

Anarchistic Society?

The reign of terror Continues!

Knife crime in the U.K. is now worse than Gun crime in the U.S. and similar situations in many other places?

We can blame the police, we can accuse the government of failing to care, but much of what is happening in our nations has more to do with the Church than meets the eye! Comforts, indifference and ignorance's with false teachings and judgement plague the Ekklesia today and the word of Jesus on Judgement day are already ringing through!

When did we see you? Matthew 25:37-44.

As believers we need to change to break the mould that is killing faith, the preaching of the Gospel and the Cross! This is the only hope for the world, for  poor, the lost Jesus died and rose again?

John 3:3,  14-18,  19:17-19,   Acts 5:30,   Romans 6:6,   1 Corinthians 1:17,   2 Corinthians 13:4,   Galatians 2:19,   Ephesians 2:16,  Hebrews 12:2.

Secular Humanism? Part-One.

The enemy of Christian Faith!

Many Christians around the world today have taken on this cause believing that the 'good works of Jesus was for the defence of the poor and they completely miss both His death on the cross and His rising from the dead for their salvation?

Humanism is at times an excuse to get out of commitments to God and much of its ideas are based on Roman Catholicism in the ideal the more good we do, we have a better chance of going to heaven?

But belief in God has to be based on faith and that of being Born-again or anew and it is not based on what we can do, but rather what God has done for us!

As believers we are commanded to do what is right and good and not wrong, this is how we will know on this side of Eternity who are walking with our Lord and who are not!

James 2:8,  1 Peter 3:14, 1 John 2:10,  20-27,  3:14-19,  23. 

Crutches for the Weak?

Hard as Nails!

This is always the excuse made by all who are cold to the Gospel message, they try to claim we believe because we are afraid to die?

Many innocent people minding their own business are getting killed in the cross fire of gang warfare on our streets! Many of these young people hide behind a culture that no longer wants to trust, because it believes it is not part of our society?

Yet take away the benefits, the housing and many other things and these gangs will collapse! But better still finding faith in a real God who cares and loves for us, but will have to Judge us at the end is much better than trusting in wealth, and people who chop and change?

I think God chooses the tough ones in society to shame those who are too educated and unwise?

Romans 11:20,   1 Corinthians 4:7-8,   Galatians 4:8,  5:13,   Hebrews10:32,   1 Peter 2:10,   4:12.

Day two! Part-One.

Day One death, day three Resurrection!

These are generally the two emphasis points of the Easter story, but day two is the one that is over looked and yet it is essential to understand all three together, because without it many believers today are missing the points later on in the New Testament teaching?

Jesus birth, death and resurrection are key to understanding why He had to die, fulfilling the Jewish Laws for us as the final sacrifice for sin and His rising allows us to enter into the promises of Eternal Life, but we are now in the New Life!

Much of the work of Jesus was done in the grave of reconciling Jews and Gentiles of gathering the captives in His train and all the while the world was trying to undermine these events with lies to dispute the truth, which it continues to do to this day!

Isaiah 26:19,   60:1,   61:1,   Luke 4:18,   John 5:25,   12:46,   Ephesians 5:14,   Colossians 1:13.

Preparations for EASTER?

The pivotal key of history to Salvation by FAITH.

One has to wonder how many Churches today still emphasise the cross and the death and resurrection of Jesus as the final atonement for our sins and our Salvation? 

Or have they adopted new tact in playing on eggs and bunny rabbits to water down the truth, because of fear of upsetting others in the world who have no concern for Christianity?

Every nation and tradition will mark this time on differing dates, due to their respective calendars, but the message will still focus on Jesus!

Meanwhile what are we doing, many will have to work through it, while others can take the opportunity to share their faith and see other lives changed for the better!

Mark 8:34,   Luke 23:26,   John 19:17-31,   1 Corinthians 1:18,    Galatians 6:14,   Colossians 1:20,  Hebrews 12:2.

Summer Opportunities? Two.

Every moment an Opportunity!

As believers our main mission is to share our faith in love and win others to Jesus, as we were to won to Him! This witness has to be done in kindness, but also with a warning of the grave consequences that if this message is not heeded disaster lays ahead!

We live in an age of the doctrine of the Love of God and this is true up to a point and that of sin? The bible has not changed in relation to what God has said about sin, only that we who believe by faith have had the law fulfilled for us by Jesus death on the cross/stake/tree!

But when this time of grace or Gods favour is over comes His wrath of Judgement and His conditions will be met before Eternity, which is the final dispensation!

Psalm 5:11,  Proverbs 18:21,  Matthew 3:7,  John 3:15-21,  31-36,  Acts 4:12,  Romans 3:23,  5:9, 6:23,  Galatians 5:14,  Ephesians 2:4,  Colossians 1:28,  3:8,  1 Peter 1:8,  1 John 2:5.

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.

Social Media! Part-Two.

The killings go On?

Guns and knife murders are continuing despite appeals and calls for them to end both in the United States and England, U.K! 

Gang culture powered by wrap and viewed on Social media, such as You Tube is perhaps the cause of much prowess and insult that brings on the challenge to our do in respect!

We who have been there Know what it is like and how easier it is getting to be worse than ever before? The communities have a big Responsibility to take charge of the matter, working with local councillors and politicians in their contact with the police!

But social media also needs to clean up its act in relation to knowing and filtering what is going up as they have with the Islamic State?

Meanwhile the governments have to spend more money on young people, while the Church in the community preaches the cross and the need of confession and repentance of failures!

Matthew 10:38,  Mark 8:34,  Luke 5:32,  15:7,  1 Corinthians 1:17-18,  2 Corinthians 7:10,  Ephesians 2:16. Colossians 2:14-15,  Hebrews 12:2.

EASTER. Two.

Cross and Tomb!

Jesus died on the cross/stake/tree between two criminals, murderers who deserved this death!

Many events took place around that Roman torture peg, darkness for three hours, Jesus promising the repentant sinner paradise!

When Jesus died he was laid in the tomb of a rich man Joseph of Arimathae, one of the many secret believers in that time!

Today this same message is as powerful as the events on that day, we see many movie depictions of these events! There have been thousands upon thousands of books written over the last nineteen-hundred years, taking a standpoint from every possible position?

But today is another opportunity for you to choose wither you will repent, confess, seek forgiveness and walk with Jesus?

Luke 22:20,  23:43,  Matthew 27:45,  John 8:12,  Isaiah 1:18-19,  53:12,  2 Corinthians 3:4-6,  5:18-19.

Easter. Part-Two.

Jesus perfect and sinless Man!

Jesus chose of His own free will to go to the cross/tree/stake for our purchasing back to God! He was the perfect sacrifice, much better than any animal that had been offered since the days of Abel, Tabernacle and the Temple!

Blood had to be always shed for the remission of sins on everything, we see this on the door posts before the Exodus from Egypt by Moses, we see it in nearly every sacrifice that was offered to God!

But now Jesus died taking our sin on His body and removing past failure, allowing us into a New Life with Him and His father!

Exodus 12;13,  29:20,  Matthew 26:28,  Luke 22:20,  Acts 20:28.

Sinning. Part-One.

Continuing to Sin.

There are many who claim a faith in God today, but they continue to live in the world, as the world. They show nothing of the New Life that they claim to have in Jesus death and resurrection for them?

God warns those who have believed and who then think that they can abuse their position with Him, will loose their salvation! The blood that Jesus spilt for us on the cross/tree/stake is very precious, it was to buy us back to God.

But if we abuse that relationship by living and continuing on in the sinful nature, we will be refused entry into His rest.

Hebrews 10:26, Numbers 15:28-31, Deuteronomy 17:12, Psalm 19:12-13, Matthew 12:31-32, 1 Timothy 1:13, 2 peter 2:20-22.

The cost of being a Believer. ONE.

NO SHAME.

Shame today has become a twisted word, meaning not what is supposed to mean. Many people are ashamed to be called a Christian its soppy, expresses weakness.

Jesus went to the cross and took our shame on Him. He was afraid, but not ashamed.

What ever is your excuses this easter, lay them aside and trun to Jesus and find Eternity in your hearts and minds.

Acts 11:26,   26:28,  1 Peter 4:11.

Love. Part-Two.

Care and Concern.

Do you care about your family, mum, dad, grandparents, brothers, sisters, relatives? 

It is so easy to love your own and it is so easy to say, 'I love you!

What God really wants us to do is to show real care and concern for others, do the washing up, sweep the yard, take some old person to the store and if they over run on the cost you pay that extra. 

Now that is showing real love, just like Jesus showed us His love by going to the cross.

Genesis 4:9,  Psalm 27:10,  Proverbs 1:32,   Matthew 25:36,   Acts 20:32.

Crib n Cross. Part-Two.

Born to Die.

The story of the baby Jesus, does not end after Christmas He grows up helping His earthly father Joseph the carpenter in Nazareth. We learn from the bible that He was a perfect child. John 6:42.

But Mary still had to clean up after Him, when a babe and toddler! He stayed behind in Jerusalem talking to the teachers of the Law. Luke 2:46.

But when rebuked He obeyed his parents.  Luke 2:51.

The story of Jesus life is about doing what mum and dad needed Him to do, until His time was ready for ministry of healing and then He had to go to the Cross/stake/tree for us.  Mark 14:21.

I Fear No Evil. Part-One.

As I Walk Through....

What make you fear, the dark, your members, your enemies, the Police? 

We are all afraid of something from things that go bump in the night to facing up to our responsibilities and last of all the reality that we will all have to die some day.

But 'I will walk through the valley of the shadows and I will not fear! That is not for you, who do not believe.

But it is for you who do believe, that Jesus died in your place taking your failure on his body on the tree, stake, Cross and that He has arisen from the grave. Psalm 23:4.

I will not fear death, as I walk through the valley of Shadows.'
