False Teachings. Two.

Introducing Legalism.

Most cults work on rules and the when they have snared you in its the teachings of the founder and his experience over that of following Jesus examples and the God of the Holy Bible?

Today there are many small group Churches from House Groups to smouldering congregations of once large Churches, they appear to be active in the community and draw in some odd-bods.

The leader, rather than leadership is the emphasis of these dangerous groups, where the pastor will claim that many had left them and gone away in falseness?

We as believers must always keep our focus on Jesus, who has purchased back to our Father God from our sins and living in darkness.

Romans 3:23, 6:23, Titus 2:13-14, 1 Peter 3:16.

EU Exit.

Extended European Stay.

It has all come down, after all the hype in the U.K.  as who is telling the truth?

This is the long standing problem with politicians, they promise much but deliver little! This same scenario will be repeated across the globe and soon in the United States, one can almost see that it is obvious that Hillary Clinton has something to hide?

Meanwhile Donald Trump will not be the man he is now, when he hits the reality of working in the Whitehouse. Our politicians abandoned us a long time ago, but a temporary fear has challenged  the political world here since the assination of Labour MP Mrs. Jo Cox.

The bible is very clear that God does not like His people to be living a life of lies and deciet, He wants us to be true and doing what is good. There are many that claim faith, but there are few who really practice it?

Psalm 116:11, Romans 8:15-17,  3 John 11,  Revelation 21:8.

God’s Control. Part-Two.

He sees our Hearts.

The creator of the Universe sees everything, but most of all He sees the human heart and our response to situations that others cause. We may term it reaction to circumstances, what is to be done?

Humans are always quick to blaim God, pointing the finger and asking the questions why this or why that?

God operates on a different level, He wants to see how will we handle it? Will we stop moaning and complaining being critical or act?

Genesis 3:3,  Joshua 22:22,  Psalm 44:21,  Luke 18:15,  2 Corinthians 5:11.

Ladder to Heaven.

Jesus reveals another side of Him.

Many tend to over look this aspect of faith applied and rewarded in relation to the calling of Jesus first twelve Disciples. We can picture a hot day in Israel and all sitting in the cool shade of a tree, Jesus is impressed by the simple and yet effective faith of this man.

Jesus then reveals to him the fulfilment of the scriptures in relation to their mutual ancestor Jacob, who long ago saw this vision. It made him afraid, since he was in a lot of trouble at the time making a run for the relatives.

God uses intelligent people, He also uses the weak thing of this world to shame the wise! But what He is after is effective applied faith on the basic level and then dreams and visions will be revealed to us to build us up to be more effective in His business.

Genesis 28:12,  John 1:51,  Joel 2:28-32.

Religious Sects. Part-One.

Jehovah Witnesses.

Sadly there are to many religious sects in the world today, many claim to witness for Gods name Jehovah. But most are about financial gain and having power over weak people, who then can be exploited and mentally abused.

It is reported in various media outlets that the pop star Prince refused medical examination, because he believed that praying to God would heal him? The bible does not teach the refusal of medical attention, since the Gospel writer Luke was a physician.

But some cults and cultic groups twist the scriptures of the bible to suit their own misunderstandings. The Apostle Paul talked about this warning believers of these dangerous errors.

Acts 8:30-31,  28:26-27,  1 Corinthians 2:14,  1 Timothy 1:7, Jude 1:10.

Missing the Point.

Within our Power.

God the creator has told humanity His creation, that everything is within our power and still the human mind refuses to believe in God. Humanity is searching for the missing links in science, astronomy and geology, but it will not be found until God is acknowledge.

The key aspect of sin and the fallen nature in pride, man wants to be like God as much as the fallen Angel Satan claims!

God has given to us His one and only son Jesus, the second Adam and the perfect man. If we choose to admit and turn from our failure accepting the Good Works of Jesus death on the stake and His resurrection from the dead then we will see Gods plan in a more clearer way,

Psalm 8:4-6,  Hebrews 2:6-8.

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.
