Believing without Seeing?

Thomas Challenged!

The doubter got to see what he wanted, but Jesus told him that all believers in the future would believe without seeing and so two thousand years on Ekklesia continues to grow despite persecution, martyrdom, opposition!

Believers are getting saved daily everywhere, closed religious lands, Islamic lands, Communist dictatorship, even in our pluralistic and secular humanistic societies and some are secretive, while others have no fear and press taking the flack from misguided people?

What are we going to do today with this knowledge that we are being offered the New Life by a God who loves us and gave to you His one and only Son!

John 3:3, 20:29, Acts 4:12, 2 Corinthians 5:7, Hebrews 11:1, 27, 1 Peter 1:8.

Love Songs!

Most songs are about Love?

Human emotions are the most complex in nature, since we have been given authority over everything on Earth!

One wonders if psychology has looked into the effects negative and positive in relation to the love song, apart from music?

We do not really know if bird song is defence or romantic or just information to warn others, ‘Get off my Territory?

God loved and He has given us His son….John 3:16,  Jesus said through the Apostle Paul there is nothing greater than Love!  1 Corinthians 13:13.

Genesis 1:27-28,   Psalm 119:165,   Songs of Solomon 8:6-7,   Micah 7:9,   Matthew 6:12–15,  18:22,   Ephesians 4:26,   Hebrews 13:14,   1 Peter 1:22,   Revelation 3:19.

Mass Murder. Part-Two.

Armenian Genocide.

The Turks continue to have a problem with addmitting their sin, over the murder of thousands of Christians 116 years ago in the north-east of the country. it is very similar to the present situation with the Kurds today in the south-east.

The only difference with the Armenians were they were not able to fight back. Modern progressive Turkey has been fooling the world since the unification of the country by Ataturk. In the last two world wars of the 20th Century Turkey went with Germany, today it is being accused of supporting the Islamic Caliphate (ISIL/ISIS).

The sin of the human heart remains as evil as the day that Cain murdered his brother Abel, but today God offers us Mercy and forgiveness of sins! If we would just seek Him, if we do not the bible is very clear about our end in damnation and seperation from God Eternaly.

Genesis 4:2-9,  Psalm 51:10,  Amos 5:4,  6,  14,  John 3:15-21,  Romans 3;23, 1 Corinthians 7:23,  Hebrews 11:4.

The Doctrine of Feelings. Part-One.

Modern western Society.

Today we are being told to live our lives by our feelings, the feelings to be what we want to be rather than what we must be? Sadly many people in the world both Christians and not are being lead away from God. As we have seen over the last few weeks the bible is full of people doing their own things and ending up in a bad way.

Humanism, rationalism and secularism are now the new three or trinity of gods that dominate our society in what is called toleration, human rights and free choices to express. The bible shows us what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah and many nations who chose to go in a unwise manor, Egypt, Greece and Rome are no more.

Genesis 13:10-13, 19:1-28,  Matthew 10:13,  Luke 6:27-29, 17:1-3,  2 Peter 2:6.

Christmas. Part-Three.

For the lonely.

Many people make a point to miss out on ‘Christmas, because it is not a time for them due to lonliness and the feelings of rejection. That is one of the reasons the angels appeared to the shephers in the fields, the other that the ancestor of Jesus was King Davis. David started out as a shepherd.

This Christmas our challenge should be to look out for the lonley in community and Church, even within our own family groups. Christmas is a time to put aside our differences. Charles Dickens ‘Christmas Carol has old Scrooge being welcomed by his nephew.

1 Samuel 16:7-13,    Luke 2:8-20.
