Peace & HOPE!

Fear is holding us Back?

Many of us are being torn down by fear and frustration in these days, we are not certain that our governments are telling us the whole truth as to what is really going on and why we are being herded like animals at times?

The Disciples were also afraid when they gathered together, because of the religious police as many are today in many parts of the world! But Jesus appeared to them bringing His peace to their hearts and He also does the same for us!

The guidelines of being a believer have been laid down for us to keep pressing on, it will be hard and at times almost impossible to endure, but when we know His peace and love in our hearts its a little bit easier?

John 14:27-29, 2 Corinthians 13:11.

‘What is Love? Two.

A continuation!

Love does not end after St. Valentines day, Christmas, Easter or when we our fellowships, love continues and despite it being hard to put into practice it is a challenge for us from the Lord to keep doing?

Many believers get caught out by many false ideas, when it comes to being a Christian they start to think they a better than the world and that they want to appear in the Sunday puppet show of fine dressing, but on Monday they are back in the world and acting like the world?

Jesus tells us about the religious men of His time with us, they always wanted to be seen by people around them, but inside they were full of filth and hatred! This is a warning to us to be wise in our conduct, if we believe it must be all the time to share the good news, not part-time!

Matthew 5:44, 6:1, 5, 23:5-6, Luke 11:44, John 7:18, 2 Thessalonians 2:10, 2 Timothy 2:22, 1 John 4:16.

Mind Set. Part-one.

Good and bad?

The human concept of the though of humanity changes from generation to generation, what we accept today was not in the past? This covers many areas from the way we live to technology and to social interactions?

The concept of bad and good has been mixed up today to mean the opposites, but the Bible says that there are only two kinds of mind-sets or attitudes in the human nature! One to do good by believing in God and the other is bad in rebellion towards God and His ways!

Proverbs 11:18,  Psalm 4:6,   25:8, 27:14,   Malachi 2:17,  Matthew 5:16,  19:16-17.

The truth will set YOU.. One

Free.

How many Christians believe in the rising of Jesus from the dead?

How many Christians believe that we can disobey Gods commands and get away with it?

These are good questions, but the answers to some of them come from selfishness refused to repent of sins?

We will not enjoy the fullness of Jesus in our lives if we continue to live up to the standards of this dying world, if we refuse to believe the whole bible we will be lost in our sins and will burn in the fires of Hell!

John 8:32,  Mark 9:44-48,  1 Peter 1:18,  2 Peter 2:16.

Compassion. Two.

Our side of God’s Compassion?

What can we do to show that we are real believers in Jesus? Will we speak fine words and make claims that we are this kind of or we belong to this group? There are many today who will take and take, but they refuse to give anything that might cost them?

Lifestyle that is opposed to the teachings of the bible, prove a rejection to love the truth of Gods word the bible and a failure to practise will lead into delusion and falseness!

God desires us to love the truth and apply in our lives caring for those in need, the widow, foreigner and orphan who are always with us?

Isaiah 1:17,  Exodus 20:20-23,  Romans 1:27,  2 Thessalonians 2:10,  James 1:27.

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.

The Good. Part-Four.

SIN.

Do you think you are a good and fair person, perhaps you try your best to be kind, listen and help people around you. There is nothing wrong with being good, seeking justice and reporting crime.

But your ‘good works’ will not save you from Hell and allow you entry into Heaven. God does not work on self-achievements, as the human psyche does.

He tells us in His word the bible ‘that there is no one who is good and no person is withouth Sin.’ We have first to acknowledge Him and the works of His Son Jesus on the stake, tree, cross. We have to see our own failure and repent of it and then follow Him.

Romans 3:10-18.

Ideology.

Ideology, the ideas of men.

When we look at the world today we are drawn to think of the many closed lands and societies, that do not have or want to have our concepts and what we describe as freedoms.

These nations seem to be closed and controlled, such as North-Korea, China, Cuba and yet there are many lands near and far who practice similar conditions, such as Saudi-Arabia, Iran, Algeria, Sudan, Belarus and the list could go on and on.

Many follow the ideology of men and the party or a system or a king, religion or great leader. Some keep to the ethical code of their revolution. But what does mark them out is all who oppose must be imprisoned for a long time or killed.

It is valuable to read books in relation to Ray Bradbury and Farenheight 451 and George Orwells 1984, with the various films. Both these men were writing about conditions in 1938-1948. They were trying to warn us that any society can turn from what it is now into an idelogical dictatorship.

Can a Christian be Nationalistic? Part-One.

It is said today we live in such a liberal society, that we can be anything we want to be?

But is this really true?  Can Born-again Believers really be anything or do we have to live our lives to Jesus standards and follow Him?  Many hold on to their baggage, instead of letting go, the prejudices, racism, arrogance and nationalism. But is God is not like us and He does not want this earthly things to block, especially our witness of Jesus to a lost world.

John 3:16,  James 2:2-6,   1:14,   19-20.
