Why do Governments Tolerate? Two.

Keeping Face!

Did you know that the U.S. President Trump is actually afraid of woman in power, that is why he is at this time during the G20 in Argentina playing ball over the Ukraine to please British PM Mrs May!

World leaders play diplomatic games facing each other off and pretending to keep what they claim to have said or not?

The Holy Bible calls this intrigue or clever manipulation of events something the British government has played with its own people over Brexit, but this goes on all over the place with many other issues too even despite it being dishonest!

Isaiah 14:13,   Ezekiel 28:2,  6,  9,  Matthew 24:4-6,   1 Corinthians 8:5,   2 Thessalonians 2:3-4,   2 Timothy 4:3-4,   Revelation 13:6-7.

Christmas Preparations?

Most people share across the Monotheistic Divide!

December 1st and 2nd is the Jewish festival of the dedication of the Temple that covers nine days and nine presents, then comes Latin Christmas 24th December to 26th, followed by the Eastern Orthodox, after the New Year 31st to 1st January, 1st to 7th and last of all the Armenian and some Coptic’s the 19th of January!

Islam marks the birth of the great Prophet Jesus/Isa around the same times as Christians do, but for them he means nothing more and for some fanatics they can always find and excuse to murder ordinary people?

But the facts of Christmas are slowly being eroded in western society by black Friday commercialism, and the essential message of Jesus the Saviour of the world coming in human flesh and born of the virgin seems to be lost?

Isaiah 9:6-7,   43:11,  Luke 1:28-36,   2:11,   John 4:42,   Acts 4:12,   13:23,    Titus 3:4.

Fire, fruit and Pruning! One.

The role of the Holy Spirit in the believers New Life?

When we are born again of the final atonement of Jesus death on the cross and resurrection on the third day from the grave, because of our faith and repentance we individually receive the Holy Spirit!

First there is an inner fire, a flame of mixed passion and compassion for the lost around us, family and friends! We are eager with share our testimony and witness our faith and from this comes fruit, but we have also been given fruit the ability to use these divine and spiritual resources?

Then when we have learned how to use these gifts, we also will learn how to prune back the elements that are not profitable, so that all may be refined to start afresh and press on?

John 15:1-16,   Acts 2:3,   1 Corinthians 3:13,   12:6-30,   Galatians 5:22,    Jude 1:23.

Ever Darkness. One.

The Lords Return!

We have been warned in the Holy Bible that the world is getting worse in its lack of morality and also in its sincerity towards each other!

We are warned that the love of many will grow cold, this is more so with believers than with the world who are already there on the insides!

But we have to continue to live in the world and face daily hostility on different levels, sometimes insults, jeers and other times worse like threats and intimidation? But the answer to these problems is opposite to what the human nature demands anger and strife, we are asked to rejoice to be happy to praise God!

Psalm 7:17,  68:4,  Matthew 24:12,  Luke 10:21,  2 Corinthians 12:20,  1 Thessalonians 4:17,  James 4:1-4,  1 John 4:20,  Revelation 1:7.

The Darkness. Two.

Risen from the Dead!

It is still hard for many believers who accept that Jesus has died for their failure to then believe that the Man-God rose from the dead on the third day?

The challenge of faith is to believe in the impossible and then apply it, this is much more than just trusting it is proving God to be true to His word!

Without the resurrection, there can be no Salvation, no overcoming the sting of death and no entering into the promised New Life! Over five-hundred people witnessed Jesus in Israel between His rising on the third day and His Ascension back to heaven!

John 11:25,   Acts 10:39,   Philippians 3:10,   Hebrews 11:1-3,  1 Peter 1:23.

The Darkness. One.

Exodus and Easter.

God made His presence known on these two important occasions of deliverance for His people Israel from their slavery in Egypt and for our individual deliverance by Jesus shedding of blood on the cross/stake/tree for our sins!

God in His character is not dark, but rather pure light, truth and holiness and without sin, but we are told something of that dwelling place that we can never enter and that is a place of darkness!

This time of the year should be one of reflection on our own calling and salvation, while also hoping and praying for those lost around us that they might see the light that Jesus offers and turn to Him in confession and repentance of their own failures, seeking His forgiveness?

Genesis 1:2,   Exodus 10:21-22,   2 Samuel 22:10-12,   Psalm 18:11,   Matthew 27:45.

Red roses and my Valentine!

‘Love is in the Air?’

Its that time of the year again when couples express their love for each other, cards, red roses, and the special romantic meal?

This has become the love of the world, it is based on emotions, lust and selfishness and dressed up to mean something it is not!

But the Love of God for us sent Jesus to give His life so that we would be set free from the curse of the Law! Jesus love in our hearts makes us take responsibility to care and be concerned for others, over that of advantage or even thanks from them!

John 3:3,  14-21,  Ephesians 5:2,  2 Thessalonians 2:16,  1 John 3:4,   4:10-11,  19.

Mind, Heart and Soul. One.

We Choose?

It is easy to blame all the evil and bad in the world on the Devil, when the truth has more to do with our own human choices? Jesus told the people in ear shot of Him that it was a mans heart that was were the origins of our own actions stem from!

It does not matter how many rules you think you can keep, or the way you choose to live, meditate, use different ways to form your lifestyle? Sin will always get in the way, our inherited condition will allow us to choose from a selfish standpoint, from lust, desires and what we want?

On the other hand we claim to have faith in the death of Jesus on the cross/stake/tree for our sins and forgiveness and His resurrection from the dead into our New Life? Then we are daily challenged with how to apply love to those who hate us and try to us either physical or mental harm!

Genesis 4:7, 6:5-6,  Job 1:8,  Psalm 10:9-10,  Matthew 15:18-19,  Luke 6:45,  1 Peter 3:4,  Jude 1:4,  22-23.

Humans and Robots. Part-Two.

Just Machines!

Some are or have become concerned about the fast progress of todays robotics and the complex computing that they have been enabled with? The fear that humanity will be replaced by a machine is nothing new, but it has not yet happened!

A machine is a machine, clever computing power and programming may make it do some wonderful things? It may even one day have the limited capability to make its own logical choices, but these will not be a threat as claimed by many today!

Humans are far more different and complex from any Robot of any type yet built, because we have a soul and machines never will! We are made in the image and character of God, they may look and speak like us but they remain machines?

Romans 1:20,  5:4,  Deuteronomy 4:13-16, Psalm 143:6,  Luke 10:27.

Take Heed. Part-One.

Our responsibility?

Some times we need to stop in our tracts and think about where we are with the Lord our God?

We may like to think we are okay and doing fine, but the truth is we may actually be slipping back into our old lives?

God our Father always wants the best for us and sometimes that stop, hold back is the best check-up  that will get us back on track and sorted out?

Psalm 39:1,  Matthew 6:1,  Acts 20:28.
