Easy Terrorism?

 Knife Murder!

Last week a British member of Parliament was stabbed and estimated seventeen times by a young Muslim man in a Church as the MP invited people to seek help from him!

It is perhaps the same world-wide, were the public can talk to a politician an get a letter written, countersigned or get some help in their struggles with local government, the police, disputes with other people or faulty goods?

But now criminal activity is being employed by the cowardice of disturbed people and we are living in the spirit of the age, where knife crime is now more prevalent than it has been for over a hundred years?

Deuteronomy 21:1,  1 Chronicles 28:9,  Job 37:16,  Romans 2:12,  1 Corinthians 2:11,  Hebrews 4:12-13.

Inciting Violence!

 From Donald Trump to Islamic Rhetoric?

What should be banned in the world of rhetoric, the President of the United States be put on a par with Neo-Nazi and Islamic terrorism being incited out of his mouth or perhaps some of the crap that is now coming out of the #blm in relation to anti-Semitism and other?

The Internet was designed for the sharing of knowledge and information, which it did for over thirty years before it became a world-wide public forum, but now the speech is filth and hatred both aspects of the human nature of a fallen humanity!

Jesus warns us, 'To be wise in what we say, since we will be held to account for every word!  Matthew/Levi 12:36.

Matthew/Levi 15:11, John 12:48, Acts 7:54, Romans 6:23.

The Harvest Time!

 Reaping souls and Thanksgiving?

Wither we come from a farming or fishing community we can still enjoy the fulness of this special to give thanks to God for what He has done for us this year, more so in saving us and our families from the Coronavirus?

But there is always work to be done when we are believers in the death and resurrection of Jesus, the fields are white as snow and He said that the workers were few!

Our challenge from God is always to take up the gauntlet and be getting on with His work over that of our own?

Halloween and Christmas are ahead, they are great opportunities to reach out to our respective communities and families with the Good News message of Jesus?

John 4:35,   Luke 1:79,   Romans 3:21-31,  2 Corinthians 1:11,  1 Timothy 3:16.

The Joy of the Lord?

 To Have!

To believe in the death, resurrection and promised return of the Lord is one thing, but to follow Jesus is another?

To imitate, to apply Jesus actions everyday in our lives is hard and that is perhaps why many people who claim faith are unhappy, since they live as the world?

We were purchased at a heavy price and it is sad to see that many fail at this essential and simple hurdle or that they abuse the power they have been invested with!

Matthew/Levi 25:21-23,  1 Thessalonians 1:6,  Philemon 1:20.

The Love of God!

 Compassion?

We do not see much compassion with even the best of people at the worst of times and yet we are told in the New Testament of the Holy Bible that Jesus showed compassion to people!

The word is defined as having pity rather than showing love, Jesus had pity on the crowds who followed Him, because they were Spiritually dull and yet they wanted many things a leader to free them from the Roman occupation and a healer!

Today many people are searching for answers to the problems of life, but at the same time they do not want God? Because they have been told God is about rules and religion is rubbish and we can solve all our problems if we can find the answers ourselves?

Matthew/Levi 9:36,  14:14,  15:32,  20:34,  Mark 9:22,  Luke 10:33,  Romans 9:15,  Colossians 3:12, 1 John 3:17.

The county lines Chain?

 Of human slavery and Misery!

When one thinks that you can make a living and escape the evil of this new type of narcotics network, your friends stab you in the back and take over your role believing that they can do better and thus the misery and slavery continues!

Much of what is termed in the U.K. as a county line, is that of a baron and his family controlling misguided youth, families and children either by promises, nice food, clothes, loans or just intimidation so that a line network can be built up to supply drugs across the country?

The problem that society now faces is generations of youth believing they have no need to work, since at an older age they will live off the proceedings of their own lines or networks and that if they ever live long enough?

God sees the human heart of evil and sin and warns us of the our come of our actions, so we must choose Him and be freed from bondage, slavery, lies and death!

 John 3:14-20,  Acts 13:39,  Hebrews 4:12,  Revelation 1:5.

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.
