We are not alone in our Journey?
Many believers when going through a bad patch think God has left them and those who have passed cannot help? But we should know that our Lord is always at hand to help us, we can call on Him anytime. Jeremiah 3:33.
We need to remember what believers advised us on certain matters, who have now passed away? We have such a rich heritage as born-again or converted believers, that we must not loose sight to these important facts.
This verse goes on to speak about the race for our heavenly reward and not to grow weary or give up, what Jesus has done for us on the cross/stake/tree!
Hebrews 12:1-2, 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, James 1:12.

LOVE. Two.
Loving the Truth?
There is a difference between us and the lost, but it is a very little one of choice, when God reveals to us His chink of light? There are many people today who go to Church and have the name tag Christian by tradition and birth, but faith-trust in God does not come by the will of man nut God.
There are many at the same time who believe without the cross and self-denial that they know the Lord Jesus, they are always on the take? But when asked to do something, even a small thing the selfishness of their hearts are revealed and they run away.
When they saw the chink of light, they refused it to continue in their darkness, but we accepted because we love the truth of Gods word the bible and try to live by it everyday! Not living as the world, but living in the New Life!
2 Thessalonians 2:10, Proverbs 8:18, 2 Corinthians 2:17.

Love. One.
Compassion.
Do we have compassion for other people, especially those in the current news? The immigrants and refugees fleeing war, persecution and death? It is so easy today to say we love, this that and the other, but when it come to practise it can be misconstrued as something else?
The bible tells us that Jesus had compassion on the masses that were out in the fields and hills waiting on Him all day! Jesus had compassion on many people, some had little faith, others found it hard to trust and He too had compassion on us who deserved nothing but punishment for our wrong doing?
Colossians 3:25, Psalm 78:38, 145:8, Matthew 14;14, 15;32, 20:34, Mark 1:41, 8;2, 1 John 3:17.

Living in Denial. Part-Two.
The denial of History and the denial of God!
The world shares in the denial of God, it also shares in the denial that it continues to fail and commit sins?
There are many who will praise this new film on the serious prosecution of British Holocaust denier David Irvin, but at the same time they will themselves deny Jesus/Yehua as their own Lord and Saviour?
These and many other things only show the fallacy of humanity in making excuses, claiming one side is better than the other in moral fibre?
Joshua 26:27, Matthew 10:33, Mark 8:34, Luke 20:27, Titus 1:16.

Living in Denial. Part=One.
Emancipation, Genocide, Holocaust Denial?
Last evening I saw a historical programme about the Scottish influences in the Southern-States of the U.S.A. It was so sad and pathetic, that a Christian people set out from being oppressed in their native land to do the same to others in America.
They formed the Kuklux Klan to defend their fantasy dream based on classical fictitious romanticism and this lead to the many ideas that Miss Rosa Parks stood up to in the 1950's-60's in Atlanta, Georgia, that won black civil rights!
But God proves time and again that no one race of creed in this world is exempt from racism and hatred of another, black white or another colour! This has been proved over the last two-hundred years with genocides and the Nazi-German Holocaust!
Judges 12:6, Job 31:2, Matthew 2:6, 1 Corinthians 11:12, 2 Peter 2:1, 1 John 4;1, Revelation 19:20.

New Year 2017.
Resolutions?
When we make promises to change, to loose weight, to take up a new hobby, to get out walking more, perhaps even get married? The problem is the same every year, after a few weeks we give up and go back to what we were fat, lazy, liars and ignorant of the facts of our condition?
There is as many people in the Church today, who once made a choice to follow God, they all went through the processes, said the right things? But they never really meant in their hearts, they are what the bible calls the weeds that choke the real believers?
Matthew 13:26-40, Romans 5:8, Ephesians 2:4, 4:14, 1 Timothy 4:2, 1 John 4:11.

A bed of Roses?
Stephen and being a Believer!
The traditional image of the Christian Church is of it being easy, like a bed of roses?
But to be a born-again believer is only for the tough and its great to know that God chooses us for His service!
Weak things are strength, while those who appear to be strong are really the weaklings!
Stephen was a man who spoke the truth to a libertine world of his day and they could not cope with him so they did the same as with Jesus a year earlier.
So they set him up and had him stoned to death, but he was tougher because he forgave them and asked God that this not be held against them!
Acts 7:51-60, 2 Corinthians 12:10, Hebrews 4:12.
