illness and Disability?

Living with Them!

There is much emphasis today being put on people that they can live with their disability, and this may true to a point? But when it comes to the reality of illness, that is a far different matter, pain being a real problem, one has to suffer from it to understand that all want rid of it!

Job is perhaps the best example from the Bible in relation to one suffering and in pain and showing to us that many people would give up and die, after being struck down, but he did not since he had done nothing wrong, while everyone thought he had failed God in some way to be in this terrible suffering?

Neither are to be seen as a blessing, but rather that we need to seek God that we can be healed of them and set free to serve, today, to share Jesus with the decaying world around us!

Concerns For?

Converts from Islam and Hinduism!

It is never easy to become a believer in the death and resurrection of Jesus at anytime, but it is even harder for those coming out of Islam and Hinduism, despite the picture that these two religions like to portray the reality is far from the truth?

Hinduism is a religion of iconography and multiple gods and those who refuse to pull the line can be killed, where Islam bases all of its belief on the teaching of the Prophet Mohammed and not on the Holy Scriptures directly as Evangelical Christians do!

In this current British climate of hatred between the two communities, believers do feel more vulnerable to being attacked and one wonders if the Christian Church in the U.K. understands or is continuing to ignore issues that face their various ethnic communities for other things that are not a cost to them?

Deuteronomy 22:1-4, Acts 3:17, 4:29, Romans 6:22-23, Ephesians 6:10-18, 1 Timothy 4:1-5, 1 Peter 2:15, 4:12-19.

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.

Christian Response!

To anti-Semitism/Israel?

We have not had a good record in history over the past two thousand years in the ways we have found to persecute the Jews, from the Ancient Church, to the Crusades, the Inquisition, various Pogroms and the Nazi-Holocaust?

But this hatred has not stopped after 1945, but has continued with anti-Israel policies over their promised land, even the teaching of the Bible has now been abandoned for same sex relationships, the rights of this one and that one and in the U.K. we forget that between 1919 and 1947 the Palestinians killed more British troops and police than in any other conflict, bar one of two major wars!

We will eventually have to all give an account to Jesus for our actions and words, please don’t think once, ‘I am saved, I can do what I like?

Psalm 10:15, Ezekiel 24:13, Matthew 12:36, Luke 6:22, Romans 14:12, 2 Corinthians 3:15, Hebrews 4:13.

Destiny of the Evil!

What the leadership of ministry is hiding Today?

The doctrine of love has covered up and is the attempt to mislead people on love covers a multitude of sins, without recognizing the fulness of the words of God in the Holy Bible!

One believes that many in the ministry are desperate to cover up sins and fool the rest of us into thinking that these new times are acceptable to God and we will all be alright?

But the Holy Bible does not always say pleasing things to us but warns that the dishonest and liars will loose their salvation, if they continue to sin after they were called out to the promised Salvation of their souls, when Jesus returns!

Revelation 21:8, 22:15, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Galatians 5:19-21, Ephesians 5:5, 1 Timothy 1:9-10, Hebrews 12:14-16.

Moving on with God?

Between the Lines!

As believers we know that we have been saved by the blood of Jesus and the cost of that precious Salvation? Psalm 129:3, 1 Peter 2:24.

Now it is time to understand that we cannot do without the power that is promised to us from God, in the giving of the Holy Spirit that turns that heart of stone within us to His heart of flesh!

Ezekiel 11:19, 36:26-27.

What more is there now, but to serve, to endure, maybe even to die and have no fear of anything except God Himself?

Romans 12:7, 2 Timothy 4:5, Revelation 2:10-11.

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.

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.
