Visibility of the Clergy!

Mourning for Queen Elizabeth-II Regina and the Nation?

Are we seeing a reality of loss, a comfort to the people or just a procedure that has to be seen to be carried out every time a Monarch or a Prime minister passes?

The work of chaplaincy is now much needed as a million people may pass the coffin of our late Queen and be in deep grievance that death brings on us, if not recall to our own pain of personal loss?

Jesus was the great shepherd and He appointed the Disciples, who became Apostles and as the Ekklesia grew from the Way, much more was required in Church office to care for the respective flocks and not lord it over others vulnerable or not!

But we are all sinners and will fail as many do to money, to adultery, to theft, to hurting and exploiting others, if not the cases of sexual abuse and murder! Vows are not kept and many are flippant in their responsibilities accepting men who feel they are woman, while denouncing woman from the pulpit and breaking with Biblical teaching to self-achievement over the dying to self and obedience?

Jeremiah 23:2, John 3:3-21, 10:1-14, Acts 20:28, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26, 13:4.

All Change Elizabeth-II Passes 8th September!

Charles-III Now the New King?

It was a swift hand over and all in these days of national and commonwealth mourning looks stable, but with the new king comes many questions in relation to his wife, to the death of Princess Diana and the separation of Harry and Megan from the Royal family and also the upholding in reality of the Protestant faith?

We know that the Queen was a born-again Christian and she preached that faith each Christmas message to the nation, despite the media blocking it off for the last thirty years or so!

We also know that she put into practice in meeting leaders of all sorts and tried to give right advice and warnings to her own political leaders to change their way and recently we saw one refuse to do so and thus he has left to introduce another into our economic mess over the Ukraine and the sanctions we placed on Russian goods and fuels?

Matthew 5:27, Acts 24:24, Romans 1:8, 3:22-26, 6:23, 13:9, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Galatians 5:6, 1 Timothy 4:6, Hebrews 13:4.

Fields are as white as Snow?

Harvest Time!

In the life of the ekklesia this is the time of the year for the harvest, grains, potatoes and other newer crops and coming with it this year is a lower yield because of a very hot drought ridden summer?

To give thanks to God, should be a every moment occurrence rather than being once a year!

But despite this we also have the opportunity to seek and lead souls to faith, in wisdom since we know that are many seeking truth in our decaying world?

Proverbs 11:30, Matthew 7:7-8, John 3:3, 14-17. 4:23-24, 35, Romans 6:23.

Investing in Wars!

Brings good profits in stocks and Shares?

One would never think that Christians would invest in misery and evil, but they do world wide in the arms industry and they also do the same with the poverty of the poor in relation to energy a factor now that Europe and the United States too are in!

How will we fare this winter many people will die and many become homeless at the cost that both Mr. Biden and Mr. Johnson have suggested we have to suffer for the people of the Ukraine?

But who are they to lecture us when they have made us obey rules that they broke, setting up things that caused misery and them come across as knowing this is right for us as they nad many others line their pockets for retirement and their own futures!

Ezekiel 22:29, Zephaniah 1:14, Luke 3:14. James 5:4, 2 Peter 2:3.

Understanding!

Listening and Hearing?

To be a true pastor of the sheep, we need to listen, hear clearly and understand what people are trying to say and where they are coming from!

Many Christians in leadership today many preach well, may attend many conferences or are invited to many meetings, but fail to care for their own flock in a right way?

People wither believing or unbelieving need help, situations occur in families, work and school if not other places where crime is high parents worry about their kids, even adults, mental health and housing along with benefit issues, that others coming from the middle-classes do not have to deal with so much!

Deuteronomy 1:13, Psalm 49:3, 20, Proverbs 2;2, Isaiah 11:2, Colossians 2:2, James 3:13, 1 Peter 3:7.

Coma Treatment!

Not for all of us?

Recently the life support of a young twelve year old British boy was turned off after a long legal battle, when NHS Doctors said that he was brain dead and they over ruled the wishes of his parents and this is not the first time that this has occurred!

The family believe that the state has taken control of their lives and meanwhile many Doctors working with the boy opposed the prosses to turn off his life support thus creating a them and us scenario since in many cases of coma people have been allowed to live and wake up at some later time?

Many questions are not being answered by the media in relation to failing to report the condition and set up of the family, which may have lead the 12 year-old to attempt suicide with a cord around his neck when paramedics arrived!

Many people around the world believe in their medical facilities and organizations to save and prolong life, but in recent years financial restraints may one of many reasons why people are allowed to die?

Deuteronomy 30:19, Job 10:12, John 5:26, Galatians 2:20, Hebrews 13:5.

Being Observed?

‘You know the hearts of All!

This is quiet a statement being made by the early believers of the Way, before the New Testament Ekklesia as we understand was created?

Though they were continuing on in the old way of casing lots, they have acknowledged God, as one who knows everything, in relation to the conditions of our hearts and motives and one could say how this verse is sometimes misused an invaluable warning!

God does know us, since He is always watching us and in His love and concern for will show us a better way to go about things in our lives!

Acts 1:24, 1 Samuel 16:7, Romans 5:27, Hebrews 4:12-13.

This Generation?

Jesus compares!

One one level Israel was looking for deliverance from Greek influence and Roman occupation, but on the other hand they were pretending to be morally something they were not and in that they refused to turn to their Messiah and be saved?

Many came to Him to be healed, to have the demons driven out, but as one man said to Jesus help me to believe this, others followed with idealism as much as Judas Iscariot who would betray Him!

Others ran away in fear, some played the flute and danced others the dirge of the funeral songs, but neither had faith only their empty traditions?

Today many claim a faith and yet they practice dishonesty, live in sexual sin, justify or ignore poverty, exploitation and pretend our nations are great, when they are not and neither is Ekklesia either!

Matthew 11;16-17, Luke 7:31-32, James 4:7.

Pastoring!

The role of the Minister and all believers?

In the daily life of Ekklesia much is placed on those at the head to lead the members of the congregation, but we forget that ministering is a shared role and as believers we have much to offer in the comforting of friends within and outsiders too!

Organization and denomination must not be a block to encouragement, to comfort in pain, death and illness, since we are all of one family who have faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus our Lord while also knowing that we have ben forgiven our past failings and are free to Eternity, if we remain faithful and right with God?

Colossians 3:1-6, Matthew 16:23, John 11:25-26, Romans 6:2, Colossians 4:2-6.

Animal Implants?

Muslim and Jewish Opposition!

Because of COVID-19 it is becoming harder to get uninfected organs so science and medicine have turned to animals, but not everyone is in agreement with this breakthrough especially in relation to pig and other animals that are forbidden by God?

We may laugh at this in western society as trivial, but Muslims out number Christians and others by four to one and this fact covers much more than transplant surgery as many do their best to ignore!

At the moment it will help millions, but it is only time to tell if the Coronavirus does not spread with other viruses to the animal world?

We are warned in the Book of Revelations of various plagues that will hit humanity before the end and after more than two ears with mutations, sever other disorders are coming to the fore!

Revelation 5:8, 7:16, 15:7, 16:1-2, 9, 11,17:1, 21:9.
