God expects more from Us!

 A den of merchants and Robbers?

One has always felt uncomfortable with the Sunday book store in the Church and despite the need for it, it becomes a king of religious hypocrisy when we are encouraged by some to keep the sabbath and feel okay trading in the confines of fellowship!

Jesus was not to pleased with what He saw in the Temple in Jerusalem, the abuse of the religious leadership turning a Holy building into another outlet for business and His words spoken that they were in relation to what the poor suffering Prophet Jeremiah had to put up in his day!

God wants us to be a people of applied faith, not Church going and not in a religious system of rules and rituals #, but to free in the indwelling holy Spirit to be alive and active, with no fear of people? Respecting the laws of the lands that we are in as long as they do run contrary to God's laws!

Jeremiah 7:3-11,  Matthew/Levi 21:13,  Luke 19:45-46,  Hebrews 4:12,  Revelation 2:19.

Terrorism and Wickedness. Two.

'Our free Choice?

God has never been unfair to His creation as some people think He has? 

He has given all of humanity free will and choice for us to work out our own course of life!

All humanity is born into inherited sin, this is our incurable terminal-illness that we on our own cannot fathom to cure or heal!

But God has given to us His one and only Son Jesus, by placing our faith in Him we will enter into the promised New Life!

People are shaped by circumstances to what they become, a hard life can either lead to evil or a born-again active Christian? A good life can lead to being drawn into a false sense of security and many are lead into terrorist idealism?

1 Samuel 9:2,  Psalm 119:101,  Isaiah 58:6,  Luke 14:7,   Romans 9:16.

Fire People? One.

Living in the power of God!

When we are born-again we are given an internal fire or power that helps us to be active for God! There are many issues today in the Church, which stop believers from remaining active, such as criticism and unbelief!

But if we are empowered we will not stop, since our witness will be done in secret or rather we will not brag about it to others? 

At the end of the day our service for the Kingdom is to know that we are in partnership with Jesus and this is not a work of self!

John 1:7,   5:32,   Acts 23:11,  Philippians 1:5-6,  Hebrews 2:4.
