A fallen Universe?

But we are a New Creation!

Or we a part of what is coming as believers in the death and resurrection of Jesus our Lord!

When Adam and Eve sinned all of Gods creation fell too, apart from His domain and sin entered into everything allowing death to people and to the stars, what we term today black holes that bend light and time!

But despite all this failing God in His mercy and Love has given to us a way out through His one and only Son Jesus and this process is the New creation as an individual, but also the longing for the New Heavens and the New Jerusalem!

Job 14:4, 25:5, Romans 8:19-23, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Hebrews 9:11, Revelation 17:7.

Faith & Love!

Hospitality?

As believers with in clergy or in everyday living, we always have the ability to share our faith, sometimes it can be very easy but for many it is very hard, because they lack confidence or fear offense from others!

But this should not be the excuse for doing nothing, when even a one word might be enough?

The world is crying out for God, despite what the media like to portray and the negativity of many presenters and journalist, people need help in relationships, marriages, money worries, loss of loved ones, disability, human rights more nearer to home, homelessness and many other issues with medical conditions and mental health!

We have a big Father in Heaven who care for us, if we would but put our trust in Him today?

Romans 11:14, James 5:20, 1 Peter 4:8-10, Revelation 3:20, 7:17.

2024?

Poverty, debts, false hopes and homelessness!

These are the facts of human existence today in the U.K. and several other western societies, people are greedy, indifferent and pressured, financial plans have failed, investments have fallen through?

We really don’t care too much about others, maybe some of us will do a little bit, but generally if it does not come to our door we will ignore it!

Many believers are worse than the world in passing Judgement on others with their respective opinions, and not living in the reality that our Lord Jesus saw each and everyday two-thousand years ago in Israel under the Imperial Roman occupation.

Our attitudes need to change from love to compassion, from Church to family, from hearing to listening and acting rather than having a plethora of excuses?

Proverbs 6:11, 10:4, 28:22, Matthew 18:30, 34, Luke 7:43, Colossians 2:14.

Christmas 2023!

The Virgin Birth?

We tend in this day and age of transgender and other issues to put away truths that Jesus our Lord and Savior was born to a woman that had no relations with a man and that the interaction with the Holy Spirit of God allowed Jesus the God/Man to enter into humanity, while Mary was healed and remained a virgin for her husband Joseph!

The story is simple and is fixed and why Church laity feel that they cannot understand it may have much to with where they stand with God, in that they are doing a job, with the faith to believe in the first place and thus every excuse under the sun is made to allow sin to have hold of the decay of society that will be re[laced by Islam?

We have something to share and we must do that to see others saved, and delivered from the evil that is off the world to the light of Jesus, bring hope and direction for others to go in the new life!

Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, 5:15-16, Luke 1:26-27, John 3:3, 14-18, Romans 6:22-23, Philemon 1:6, Hebrews 9:26, 1 Peter 2:12, Revelation 3:20.

The Law of God!

An eye for an eye?

Dealing with Islam and Judaism is dealing with people trying to live the law of God, something that the Ekklesia in the last fifty years in western society has abandoned for the doctrine of love to to cover over a multitude of sins in a worldly way?

Humanitarianism, ceasefires and many other humanistic ideals were never offered in the the war in the Gulf, with Iraq or during the Afghan campaign, but now it is Israel we must continue our anti-semitism behind a veil of religious hypocrisy!

What is right, what is wrong, is peace the way forward or the two state plan, neither side is now open to the Balfour declaration and no one is able to come up with a new concept, but continue with the same old mantra?

Numbers 23:10, 2 Samuel 22:43, Matthew 10:14, John 14:27, 1 Corinthians 15:47.

We can be Saved?

I’m too bad for God to Love Me!

You are no better than anyone of us, we are all the same when it comes to sin and our inherited fallen nature!

Satan is the one who scares us off from the truth of seek the forgiveness of Jesus to a change in our mental attitude, but if we ignore His attacks and surrender ourselves to God, turning away from the past our slate will be wiped clean and our sins never to be recalled again from the past!

If we are genuine in our need to seek Him we will find Him and He will have fellowship with us, to come to to the ever New Now of the Life Eternal!

Amos 5:6, 14, Zephaniah 2:3, Matthew 7:7-8, John 3:3, 14-21, Romans 8:24-25, 1 Timothy 4:10, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26.

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.

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.

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.
