Easter. Part-Two.

Failure.

Many of the Disciples of Jesus believed that they could follow Him any where. Peter boasted about it, but Jesus warned him that he would deny him three times.  Matthew 26:31-35,  Mark 14:27-31,  Luke 22:31-34,  John 13:36-38.

We can all make claims to what we believe in, but when it has to cost us something, fear of man sets in and we all run away. Mark 14:50-51, John 18:15-18, 25-27.

This was just the beginning of a series of events that are part of the Easter Story, all of this was in the will of God.

Love and Marriage. Part-One.

Marriage.

God ordained for man and woman marriage. Many people today believe that marriage is for everyone and anything?  But if we claim to believe and follow the teachings of the bible, we will see that this is not so.

In a few days time loads of people will long for that Valentine card and will spend and enjoy Saint Valentines day, as a time of sharing love and romance. Couples single and married will come together to enjoy each others company, but the end result must be a relationship in union with God. Genesis 2:18-24,  Matthew 19:4-6,  Mark 10:6-9.

Everything that is outside this union of Covenant of Marriage is from the selfishness of the heart.

Holocaust Denial. Part-One.

There are many people in the world today who want to re-evaluate the Nazi-Holocaust of 1939-45, for their own personnel ends. They are described as revisionists or Holocaust deniers. They want to question the numbers, that could not be possible to kill so many people.

We have learned from history over the last sixty-five years in Kapuchea and Rwanda that it is very easy for humanity to commit mass genocide. What was done here in either months or a year or so, is on the same scale as, if not more than what Germany achieved. Thus cancelling out the revisionist ideas.

God tells us in a straight way ‘that all men are sinners.’  Romans 3:23,  6:23,   John 3:15-21.

Many think ‘oh I am okay for what i have done God will let me off.   Luke 14:27.

Virgin Birth. Part-Three.

‘Don’t be afraid!

We are twice told in the story of the birth of Jesus by Angels not to be afraid. It is a natural thing for humans to be afraid, when something happens that we do not understand. Joseph was perplexed, confused, when he found his wife to be Mary pregnant. Matthew 1:20.  The Shepherds out in the fields were startled by the appearance of Angels in the middle of the night.  Luke 2:8-20.

But look at the contrast here to the paranoid king Herod, what did he do with his fear?  Matthew 1:16-18,  Jeremiah 31:15.

What in the World? Part-Two.

People do not like to hear that Israel is a chosen nation by God, they want to say that what is written in the bible is not true or it was written from their point of view.  Numbers 32:9-12.

The land was given to them and they lost it due to disobedience, but God always promised He would restore them one day. That day has come and all the events of history and human time will be played out in this region. Matthew 24 and 2 Thessalonians 2.

For believers we need not worry about these events. 

But if we are not saved, then we do need to seek Jesus today.

What in the world? Part-One.

..Is happening?

This is a very relevant message today, as we see once again the situation worsen in the middle-east between Hamas Palestinians in the Gaza strip and Israel. Many people today believe that Palestine has a right to exist and the Jews should leave the holy lands and go somewhere else?

But the bible tells us that it was God who gave Israel the land of the Phillistines and all world events, including the end will be centered in this region. Believers in Jesus, Yeshua and Isa are told not to worry, as the world does about what is happening here.  Luke 12:39.

What we really need to worry about is where will we be on Judgement Day?  Today is the day of repentance, now is the time to change your mind.  2 Corinthians 6:2,  Isaiah 49:8,  Amos 5:4.

What will you choose?

War. Part-One.

Men go to war with each other for all sorts of reasons, some are minor while others are more serious.

The first battle or war is mentioned in Genesis 3:15 between Satan and God. So it is not just mans failings weaknesses and sin that leads us to attack each other. Exodus 14:13-14. War has been an instrument used by God to judge the nations.

Many people today seek to find peace, to reconcile and these are fine moral objectives, but the bible tells us that Satan is very good at peace too. That is how at the end of the age he will deceive the nations. Revelation 20:3, 8.

Our Inheritance. Part-Three.

The Cure.

Faith cannot be measured, we can only pass comment or judge by what we see in another. But God is the only one who can see the heart and the conditions, the motives within us all.  Hebrews 4:12-14,  Psalm 33:13-17.

Humanity has inherited Sin and failure and there are so many bad aspects within those categories, that science can neither detect, identify or remove. But God has provided us with a way out, a way to see ourselves as we really are and rely upon Him to help us.  John 3:15-17,  Luke 4:18,  Revelation 1:5.

Our Inheritance… Sin. Part-One.

With all the breakthroughs today in modern science, medicine and the discovery of the wonders of DNA humanity still has a problem that of Sin. It is one of the key conditions that makes us human, it is inherited from generation to generation and so far nothing has been found to heal us of it.   Sin is a condition that even remains with all who have trusted in Jesus, the difference in belief we have the understanding to cope with the selfishness of our hearts.  Genesis 4:6-10,   1 John 2:1-2.

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.
