PENTECOST!

Fire, gifts, comfort and Friendship?

The world today is a harsh and pressured place to live in to survive, one wonders what they said two thousand years ago in Jerusalem and Rome bustling cities in their own right?

Life is pressured and people are demanding to meet deadlines, sometimes even the Church can be worse than the world when tempers fray?

God promised through Jesus that the believers would never be alone, we have got a wonderful friend to help us all the time! He has given us gifts to use, He helps us pray, has provided us with Spiritual armour and He is our friend to guide us through the difficulties and the good times of our lives!

Psalm 48:14,   Ecclesiastes 12:11,   Acts 2:3-4,   Ephesians 6:10-17,   Revelation 2:7.

The science of Criminal Investigation!

Where it is needed Today?

Murder is the biggest problem in humanity, for hatred, personal gain, opportunity, sexual perversion, mental illness, criminality which may cover every other reason and terrorism?

But some people will die accidently through a natural disaster or collision, yet sometimes this too needs to be proved and science comes into its own right!

Many great advances are available today to police forces world wide, but the problems come with costs and the right staff to eager out the resources? Lately discoveries have shown that DNA samples can be easily manipulated and this has caused an uproar in relation to some convictions, proving that nothing is perfect in the hands of us sinners!

Genesis 4:7,   Jeremiah 4:22,    Luke 6:9,    Acts 10:38,    Ephesians 6:7.    Titus 2:7,   Hebrews 13:16.

The science of Love?

Lust or Love!

Science can answer many questions for us in relation to matter and how things work, atoms and the aging of rocks? But it fails with human emotions, even when we deal with psychology we are only limited to the observation but the heart of each one of us remains secret!

Lust is the burning of want and is usually termed in that of forcing sex, or wanting it by demand! Where love is gentle and can proceed through a process that is of a joint partnership that will produce right desires and relationships?

Many desire to find a biological way to justify same-sex relationships, but if we are serious about our faith in Jesus and following His ways then we must heed the teachings of the Holy Bible in relation to this matter and not try to twist it to suit our own agenda!

Deuteronomy 23:17-18,   1 Kings 14:24,   15:12,   Luke 17:29-30,    John 3:3,   14-21,   Romans 3:22-23,   6:22-23,   1 Corinthians 6:9-10,    Ephesians 5:5,   Jude 1:7,    Revelation 3:19-20,    21:8,    22:15.

Servitude! Part-One.

A fact of Today?

Many people refuse to believe that slavery is well and alive today and is on their doorstep? Many communities practice slavery or domestic servitude, taking advantage of vulnerable people and others in dire circumstances!

Nearly every town and city has tens to thousands in bondage, locked up behind closed doors and many who never see the light of day especially woman! We are hearing much know about Islamic State and the selling of woman from men to men, but this also goes on quietly in many other lands Muslim and not!

Humanity has many issues with sin and with abusing each other, slavery is cheap labour that Chinese, travelling community gangs take advantage off, while Arabic and Africans abuse domestic servants!

Knife crime in the U.K. has links to the abuse and exploitation of young children in running and maintaining drug networks across the country, known as County Lines?

Genesis 26:19,   1 Chronicles 19:4,   Psalm 113:1,   Matthew 18:23,   Acts2:18,   Romans 6:22,   Philippians 1:1,   1 Peter 2:16,   2 Peter 2:19.

Christmas Limited?

The missing Parts?

Protestant evangelicalism could be accused of loosing out much since the German reformation of Martin Luther and the successive teaching of Calvin?

Even before the European reformation the Roman Catholic Church ignored the circumcision of Jesus on the eight day as not relevant, when it is essential in knowing that Jesus fulfilled all aspects of the Law of God for us!

The Magnificat and Zechariahs Prophecy are two key areas of New Testament scriptures that is lost in the Christian Church to bias from one side or the other, when they are both equally important for all believers!

Luke 1:46-55,   67-80,   2:21-24.

Both emphasise and signify that God has not yet and never will reject Israel the nation as much false teachings and doctrines today portray! We are in some serious dangers here and may loose our salvation if we continue to oppose God in a hostile way?

Romans 2:5-7,   Hebrews 2:14-15,   Revelation 22:16.

Christmas Preparations?

Most people share across the Monotheistic Divide!

December 1st and 2nd is the Jewish festival of the dedication of the Temple that covers nine days and nine presents, then comes Latin Christmas 24th December to 26th, followed by the Eastern Orthodox, after the New Year 31st to 1st January, 1st to 7th and last of all the Armenian and some Coptic’s the 19th of January!

Islam marks the birth of the great Prophet Jesus/Isa around the same times as Christians do, but for them he means nothing more and for some fanatics they can always find and excuse to murder ordinary people?

But the facts of Christmas are slowly being eroded in western society by black Friday commercialism, and the essential message of Jesus the Saviour of the world coming in human flesh and born of the virgin seems to be lost?

Isaiah 9:6-7,   43:11,  Luke 1:28-36,   2:11,   John 4:42,   Acts 4:12,   13:23,    Titus 3:4.

armistice?

culmination!

Its one hundred years since the end of World War-I (1914-18), ‘The wars to end all wars? But the truth was it was the beginning of a new age in warfare with the introduction of many new things, radio communications, mustered gas, flamethrowers and the tank!

It was also the age of the first use of aerial combat from ‘Dog fighting to bombing raids, by German airships over London and all gentlemanly of course!

What was gained was enough knowledge for world war-II (1939-45), were eugenics was fulfilled in the Nazi Holocaust and new atomics and rocketry  were also part of the new culmination of wars!

God wants us believers to really remember those who went before us and to see what he has done for us in redeeming us back to Him through Jesus! To understand that we have a precious salvation and the promise of an eternal life with Him!

Numbers 31:6,  Judges 3:10,  Psalm 120:7,  Jeremiah 14:15,  Acts 4:26,  Hebrews 9:11-12,  14,  12:1-2,  Revelation 17:14.

Fire, fruit and Pruning! Two.

Our accountability and Responsibility?

Our relationship with God, through Jesus is part of the New Life that we have entered into, but this is a two way friendship and not a material or spiritual reliance! We ask and God will just keep giving more and more, we too have a role to play in serving, worshipping, praying and witnessing our faith to others?

The worlds ways today have invaded the Church in many ways, that has allowed believers to be excused of many areas? These areas cover the practical side of concern, activity and friendship without bias, and one has to wonder why the numbers are going down!

Fellowship or mixing in some more traditional congregations is failing because of racism, class, respectability and even dress, we have become self appointed judges? Instead of looking out for peoples problems and trying to help each other at cost!

Genesis 39:6,  1 Chronicles 13:14,   Psalm 65:9,   95:7,   Luke 4:18,   Acts 20:7,   1 Timothy 3:5,  Hebrews 10:34.

Fire, fruit and Pruning! One.

The role of the Holy Spirit in the believers New Life?

When we are born again of the final atonement of Jesus death on the cross and resurrection on the third day from the grave, because of our faith and repentance we individually receive the Holy Spirit!

First there is an inner fire, a flame of mixed passion and compassion for the lost around us, family and friends! We are eager with share our testimony and witness our faith and from this comes fruit, but we have also been given fruit the ability to use these divine and spiritual resources?

Then when we have learned how to use these gifts, we also will learn how to prune back the elements that are not profitable, so that all may be refined to start afresh and press on?

John 15:1-16,   Acts 2:3,   1 Corinthians 3:13,   12:6-30,   Galatians 5:22,    Jude 1:23.

Crap rap and driller Killer? One.

Gang warfare Music!

London, U.K. has a real problem with gang warfare violence, with over seventy people this year murdered by both, guns, knives and acid attacks!

But what is behind these attacks is both rivalry, honour and drugs! These are the 21st Century gang wars of the inner cities and provincial towns and it is fired up by social media,  rap and Driller music which promotes murder?

Young people will always be drawn into things, we were all young once and influenced by the something or the other? But believers need to speak up and be heard in the communities where ever one is and we need to help young people find faith in Jesus as their Lord and saviour!

Genesis 19:4,   Joshua 6:23,   Proverbs 20:29,   Acts 2:17,    1 John 2:13-14.
