Tax Dodging!

 Cannot be justified by Believers?

There are many it is sad to say will do dishonesty in many ways, after they have been saved and claim that it is acceptable?

But no sin is acceptable and wither it is a personal failing or net it is something that has to be dealt with by giving it to God!

The leader of the free world is now accused to be a swindler, and so are all rich people? That is why they are rich, because they refuse to pay taxes, hide their money in shell companies and hide abroad!

Matthew/Levi 19:23-24,  Luke 16:10,  1 Timothy 6:9,  James 1:11,  5:1.

Vitriol. Part-Two.

Fatalism?

Many today believe that this is the new attitude of the 21st Century youth, we no longer care about ourselves or anyone else? But surprise, surprise it like most things is nothing new under the sun, back in the 1930's Europe this attitude built on many existing ideas from the 19th Century, which lead to the Nazi-German Holocaust!

Fatalism is in many ways nothing more than an excuse to deny the power of God, to accept His authority over that of the worlds! The police, courts, laws of the land today are still corrupt and nothing will really change in the future either!

We live in a world of great social advances, its okay to have sex with your parents, sleep with you dog and have multi-trans gender feelings? Today a boy, tomorrow a girl and so on, but they are not a fact, its all feelings and they eventually will lead to suicide or mass murder?

Leviticus 19:18, Psalm 4;4, Amos 9:2, Matthew/Levi 4:5-6,  Acts 14:15, 16:27, Galatians 5:20.

False Believers. Two.

Signs that Trouble!

We can generally see the people who are amongst us because of their ways and attitudes that trouble us? Gambling, smoking, taking narcotics, adulteress, swearing, late for services, and out before they can be met at the door?

These are some of the many issues, others are gossipping, and not being able to keep confidentiality are the worst? Because they leave accusations and they hurt people in a real bad way, that could lead to worse such as mental health issues or that they loose their faith?

We have great responsibility as believers in the house of God, to share and help each other? The structures of organisation are there, because over the last two-thousand years they have been developed to give a guideline and hope to us to grow, pray, commune, witness and teach others!

Psalm 94:20,  Acts 2:42,  1 Corinthians 1:9,  Ephesians 5:11,  Philippians 1:5,  1 John 1:7.

Cloud of Witnesses. Part-Two.

Looking out for Others?

We are the next generation in that divine cloud of witnesses, we are on the narrow way to glory and we are seeing new believers being added to our Churches! We are looking out now after the many years of sometimes hard experience's to help others, the so called babes in Christ.

Advice, warning, encouragement, praise, devotion, prayer, exercise of the mid in discipline to have a routine or quite time daily with God! These are some of many things we can be doing, even when it may hurt others for a time?

We tend to forget that the many today coming into fellowship, may have no religious background or come from one of the legalistic sides of religion, paganism and the many new ideals of self praise, positive thinking and self-achievement that is not based on the teachings of Jesus?

Hebrews 1:6,  Psalm 138:3,  1 Thessalonians 5:14.
