'Do You Want to be...Part-One.

in My Gang.

These are the words of a 'Rock song, but the reality today in our cities is that many are joining up as earlyas they can to be in the Gangs.

Being in a Gang, Posse, Crowd has always given the sense of protection, this does stem from the past when most people belonged to the Tribe or Clan.

But there is a great difference between the Tribe and the Gang. The tribe gives identity to a race and culture or family. The Gang has a sinister element, it has loyalty to a leader for bad and not for good.

Jesus had His Disciples or/and followers, an intial 12 plus about 100 others. Today believers in Jesus belong to a Spiritual building and we move in the power of God, not weapons and guns.

Psalm 68:27,  Matthew 5:1,  10:25,  Mark 14:48,  2 Corinthians 12:20,  1 Peter 2:4-5.

Valentine. Part-Two.

Saint Valentine.

All twenty men with this same name are remembered for their works and good deeds. 

Doing good is a good thing to do especially for others, but this does not get us points for heaven.

God wants all peoples to call on Him for their Salvation and not think they can do it another way.

Psalm 51:10,  Romans 7:18,  2 Corinthians 13:7.

Valentines. Part-One.

Love, Romance.

This is the times of the year to post you car to someone that you really like or Love and hope that they send you one too. For others it's the special date, the candle lit dinner or just a box of chocolates and a bunch of red roses.

Many things are occurring in the one day event marked on the 14th February every year, appreciation, love, kindness, and passion. 

But many people forget it all on the 15th, they have had their fun or disappointment! 

God has a love for us too, He showed us this Love through His Son Jesus. The great thing about this Love is that it is unconditional.

God only asks us to have a mental change of attitudes and believe and live in the works of Jesus.

John 3:16,  Ephesians 4:31-32,  5:1-2,  1 John 3:16-17, 4:11.

Zyclone-B. Part-Two.

Chemical Weapons.

The news is full of Syria and how the government there is using these chemicals on his own people. But how do we know the truth?

Many people say, 'even the pictures on our TVs and the net are not real.'

It is hard sometimes to know who is telling the truth. 

This was seen recently in the U.K with the Mark Duggan inquest. What people fail to see is, it was not the fault of the jury. They could only make a Judgement of the facts that the police presented to the enquiry.

At the end we will all have to face the Judgement seat of God and then we will be tried by Jesus. It is upon this evidence that we will be sentenced to Eternal Life in Heaven or to outer darkness in Hell.

Psalm 85:10-11,  89:14,  Proverbs 8:7,  John 8:44-46.

Zyclone-B. Part-One,

Holocaust Denial.

There are plenty of people in the world who like to tell lies.

They like to refuse to admit the truth, they refuse to admit the Holocaust (1938-45) happened.

They have their own agenda and in that agenda, they also show us their contempt for other races just as their leader Adolf Hitler did.

The bible tells us that this is nothing new, the bible has a history of violent, bitter, hatefull and jealous people who did the same things.  

Exodus 1:3-9, The book of Esther, Daniel 1:1-8, Matthew 2:3-13.

But this is not God's way. 

God is not intoerant of humans and the races, He only hates the Sin that stain's us.

Exodus 23:8,  1 Thessalonians 5:22,  Revelation 10:11, 17:15.

'I have a Dream.' Part-Two.

Rosa Parks.

The Civil rights movement in America in the 1960's has been the inspiration to many key historical events world wide since. It was Rosa Parks who was really the fuel behind this fire, this challenge to white authority in the 'Deep South.'

It is always ordinary people who come to the fore in world history, like Jerry Adams, Lec Valensa, Winnie Mandela and so forth. 

We remember Luther-King, because he and two of the Kennedy family were assassinated, Nelson Mandela imprisoned for a long time and many others elected into leadership after long periods of persecution.

Jesus to was an ordinary man, He was not attractive as continues to be falsely portrayed. He was misunderstood and gravely persecuted for us.

Psalm 69:10-12,  19-20,  Isaiah chapter 53,  53:3,  John 1: 10-11,  Acts 3:13-15.

'I Have a Dream.' Part-One.

Dr. Martin Luther-King.

'I have a dream are perhaps the most profound words to be spoken in the 20th Century, spoken by a black man the descendant of slaves. Slaves who where brought to America in the 17th-18th Century by European white plantation owners from the Caribbean islands,

Slavery has always and continues today to be big business. When anyone is forced to do work and imprisoned against their will we are dealing with slavery.

Black Americans and Black British West-Indians know their roots, from the cotton fields of the Southern States and the sugar cane of the Caribbean. 

Not all Europeans in these regions kept slaves, in fact many German and Dutch Christians bought slaves and set them free, within their confined communities. Christianity replaced a mixture of pagan beliefs and has proved to both the establishment and white society their hypocritical and double standards that continue to this day.

Acts 2:17, Isaiah 40:5.
