Resurrection...

 Not Reincarnation!

Jesus died and rose from the grave with the same body, yet for the 19th Century many evangelical clergymen accepted a Hindu concept that implied that the risen Jesus was a copy and not the one who died?

This still exists today in the many false concepts about the resurrection and  many cannot accept this historical fact, beyond that of the atonement?

If Jesus did not rise from the dead none of us can be saved, since the Holy Bible is very clear that He did!

John 4:23-24, 1 Corinthians 15:12-13, Philippians 3:10-11, Revelation 20:5-6.

Real Friendship?

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.

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.

Acid Attacks Two.

Father on Son?

What sickness is our world today, what depth of sin in the heart of a man to do this to his son! We are warned that the days are getting darker and worse, that the times will be worse than in the days of Noah before the great flood!

But now our planet is reserved for fire, when sinful and wicked people will hide underground from the heat on the Earth!

Can anything be done to show people in our society a better way?

We can show them that our Father-God has proved His love for us by sending His one and only son Jesus to die and rise again to forgive us our failings and not look at them again setting us free into living the New Life!

Genesis 6:5-7,  Job 21:30,  Ecclesiastes 8:11,  Romans 3:23-31,  6 :21-23,  2 Peter 3:7,  Jude 1:13.

LOVE Applied?

Where humans Fail!

Sin in us is the block to remembering to keep loving by care, having concern and applying it all the time? Believers on the other hand should be, but there are many reasons as to why we do not?

Jesus did not stop loving and God our Father has not either, since people all around the world everyday are turning from darkness to light!

We have been left an example or pattern to follow and we have one step ahead of the world, since we are a temple for the Holy Spirit He is able to guide us in the application of Love!

Proverbs 2:2,  22:17,  Ezekiel 30:21, James 1:23.

Sinning. Part-Two.

Lead us not into Temptation.

Jesus said, 'That it was not what we eat makes us dirty, but what is conceived in the human heart!'

Satan/The Devil knows all about us, since it was He who deceived our mutual grandmother Eve in the Garden of Eden so long ago! He knows that sin binds us to wants, food, pleasure, lust, power, money, all the weaknesses of the human nature.

Jesus was no exception to being attacked by His arch enemy Satan, when He was tempted out in the desert! But Jesus leaves us this example and knowledge along with that bases of prayers to build upon, that we can stand up to His evil devices and his various agents who seek if we are believers to lead us astray?

Genesis 3:1-5, Matthew 4:1-18, 6:13, Mark 7:15-20, Luke 11:4, 2 Corinthians 11:14, James 5:7, 17.

Reconciliation....

Our way back to God.

God accepts nothing without the shedding of blood, which makes it Holy.

In times past everything that was offered had to be covered by the blood of animals.

The problem was that it did not put and end to sin and had to be offered time and again.

Jesus, Gods own son was the perfect answer, all who confess Him have been covered in His blood of reconciliation back to the Father.

God always provided a way for people in need to seek Him, But now we have Jesus the perfect sacrifice to turn too.

Isaiah 45:19,  John 3:15-21,  1 Timothy 2:5-6,  Hebrews 9:13-15,  22-28.

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.

Patrick. Part-Two.

Impression and Reality.

Many of us think we know a person, like the stories and the legends that surround them. But the reality is that we do not know the truth.

Many people think they know who Jesus was and what he did, they have picked up info from TV, films, Sunday school, even Church. But they never really listened!

Patrick was a born-again Christian, who believed in Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Patrick could be described as the father of the Western Celtic Church, he founded eight schools of learning, translated the New Testament and the book of the Psalms in to Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish and Brigantic.

Many of these languages of the 6th Century had never been written down before. He was quite a humble man, but he established missionary work to Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, the Isle of Man and Northern-England.

Today you might want to discover who the real Jesus is?

Fatherhood. Part-Two.

Relationships?

What was or is you contact with dad?

If you aint got a dad, this will reflect on your son or our child too!

Gods ways is always the best ways, He wants the best for us and since He is our dad.

We should confess, comit and trust him as His children!

Proverbs 10:1,  23:24,  29:3, 15.
