No Trust!

 With the Police?

This is a problem world wide and not only is limited to black people, but also to many other communities based on ethnicity and on sectarian divisions, there are many examples that we could take from the travelling nomad's to religious divisions i Iraq, India, Myanmar, N-Ireland, the Ukraine and Israel!

We humans have a real problem with hating each other and not trusting the legal system or authorities and much of this stems from a white dominated police forces in the U.K. and the United States, but these same issues are also found in Mexico and Brazil and in many parts of the African continent too?

Sin once it takes hold of us it does not let go and it will drag us down into situations that our pride will giver over to others that will, not might exploit our situations?

Trusting in Jesus is the only way for us who have faith to go, the letter of 1 Peter is all about living through hard times and keeping fixated on the Lord who has saved us from our dark pasts and allowing us to live in His Light!

John 3:3, 17-20, 8:12, 9:5, 1 Timothy 4:1-5, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26. 

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.

Yardies.

Mobs and Extortion.

My mean man, not words to be taken lightly by the crew, gang members, posse. What makes a leader of the mob, usually selfishness, jealousy, own confusion, mistrust. 

The wanting to seize, to control, to cause confusion, to exhort, these are what are in the heart controlled by evil.

Proverbs 22:16,  Luke 3:13-14.

There is always a better way and a right way to live your life, being set free from it. 

This is Gods way. 1 Corinthians 6: 8-11.
