NO GOD.

‘I don’t believe in God,’

This is the most common answer that you will get today, if you ask people in the western world in relation to God and religion. But these same people do have trust in people and in materialism?

The bible tells us that unbelief is nothing new, the fool said, that there is no God. Simple people have no time for God, because they are so full of themselves. it is perhaps a sofeter wording for the wicked and evil who only think of themselves.

But Jesus still accepts us wither we are good living, religious or evil minded. If we are prepared to admit to Him our failure, seek His ways and follow His son Jesus then we enter into His family.

Proverbs 1:7,  22,  29-30,  Amos 5:4,  Matthew 3:2,  4:17,  John 3:18-21,  Acts 4:12,  26:20.

Risen from the Dead. ONE.

Resurrection.

There are many accounts in the Bible in relation to the dead being brought back to life! Many reject the fact that Jesus really rose from the dead, that some kind of trick was played, or His body was stolen.

Yet there are 500 witnesses to His rising from the grave and many were Romans, apart from the locals. In fact today people still claim to have seen Jesus coming to them in coma’s and near death experiences from automobile crashes to the surgeons table.

Faith is the key to understanding God, to admit what we are and to choose to turn from our failure and not return to it again. The death and work of atonement is final, the resurrection is Jesus victory for us over the sting of death.

Job 14:12-15,  Psalm 17:15,  Isaiah 26:19, 1 Corinthians 6:14, Ephesians 2:5-6, Hebrews 11:35,  revelation 20:13.T

Sin and Salvation. Part-Three.

The need for, Met.

When the ship is sinking or the plane falling from the sky the athiest cries out to God, ‘Save me! Why does that person do such a thing, when they say they do not believe in a God?

Why are the secular society meeting on a Sunday, when they are so oppsed to Christianity?

The reason for all of this is that broken relationship with God comes to the fore in our greatest time of need. We here everyday people say, ‘Oh God, and then go on to deny Him

This is time of the year when the credit runs our and the HP has to be paid off. Many find themselves in debts and fear sets in and God is sought for the moment?

2 Corinthians 6:2,  Isaiah 49:8,   Matthew 26:26-28,   Acts 2:23,   1 Corinthians 5:8,  Hebrews 3:13.

Sin and Salvation. TWO.

Allure of the World.

Technology, sex, money, success these are all the promises that hold us down, making the heart proud and boastful. They hide the reality of our condition, fear, anger, greed, selfishness?

Much of these things today are again themselves covered up and justified by equality, our human rights! When we know that everything is a fabrication to keep us away from God.

The first steps to knowing God is prayer, in talking we will see our need to change our attitudes and then to make that break with the past and find a new relationship with His son Jesus, who died for us to buy us back to God.

Luke 15:11-14,  Psalm 25:11,  79:9,  143:11,  John 3:36,  1 Timothy 1:16,  1 John 5:11-17.

Sin and Salvation. One.

Recognise our failure and change our Attitudes.

It is that time of year again!

Easter is three weeks away, more sweets, flowers and gifts will be exchanged?

While the message of true, real Love for us will be missed in the claims of excused religion? Jesus came into our fallen world to open a door for us to escape the darkness and enter once more into a personal relationship with God the Father.

We can go on excusing ourselves, thinking our good deeds, works, chrity, gifts, will get us to Heaven? But we are seriously wrong, only the blood of Jesus will make the final atonement for our sin.

1 Corinthians 15:8-10,  Romans 3:23,  6:23,  Amos 5:4,   John 3:15-21,    3:31-36.

URBANIZATION. TWO.

Great Cities.

Today we might say Moscow, New York, Shanghai, Paris and London and there a quite a few more?  We remember them because they are the seats of great power, freedoms, liberation, culture, science, all the attributes of human achievment!

The bible tells us to about the great cities that hold dark powers, these are the ones that oppress humanity, who murder believers in the past,  today and the future.

God tells us through His word how he has destroyed those early ones with water and how one new one will be for all who had faith in Jesus, after the whore is destroyed.

Genesis 4:17,  Luke 17:27-28,  Revelation 14:8,  21:2.

The problems with…

Today the world is full of growing new cities that are starting to have as many problems as they had in the past. The bigger a town gets, there is more of a problem with sanitation, a rise in diseases and today pollution from the burning of fossil fuels.

Overcrowding is one of the causes of infections and diseases to spread and in the past, apart from natural disasters many cities failed and where abandoned.

Humanity does not seem to have been able to learn from those past mistakes? if this is not possible in relation to these matters, it just proves the same with moral codes, the breakdown of society that is all linked to Sin.

Genesis 10:10-12,  Numbers 35:3-5,  Hebrews 11:10.

A time to Love.

Saint valentines Day.

You might say to me what has this to do with being a Christian?

The world by tradition emphasies romantic love, associated with marriage and courting?

But the twenty two men with the same name, were all associated with putting the love of Jesus into daily practice at cost. They like millions of other believers have laid a foundation for us to keep following as we walk daily with God.

There is so much suffering all around us, come on you cannot say,’What does God want me to do?

Galatians 5:24-26,   Philemon 8-10,  1 John 3:16.

Freak Weather. Part-Two.

Limited Knowledge.

Science has the problem of dissmissing what does not fit in with its conception of the facts and this is universal religion. Many monks of various religions gathered weather data over the last thousand years, which is worth investigating!

Science wants to model only on the last two hundred years of their accurate data?

The Earth has changed over the last 2000 years in European weather and this has to be taken into consideration.

Wisdom is a great gift from God, wither we believe in Him or not?

Genesis 41:1,  1 Kings 10:24,  Psalm 9:10,   John 8:32,  2 Peter 3:15.

Freak Weather. Part-One.

The seasons are merging?

This summer in the southern hemisphere has been too dry in Australia and very wet in the tropical regions. Meanwhile in the northern winter hemisphere it has been to mild with flooding, less snow.

North-America has seen severe snow in the east and at last rain in the west. The weather generally from this time last year has been the warmest yet on recorded data.

For along time we associated our weather with sun spot activity, but in recent years science has noticed that the earth is warming up from within. But like everything opinion is divided and for now many are sticking with Climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels!

1 Kings 18:45,  Isaiah 34:4,   Nahum 1:4,  Revelation 6:15,  8:7.
