What Humans can Do. Two.

Cause Divisions.

Our world is full of divisions, from race, creeds to religions and apart from the work of Satan in causing these problems man has played his part by listing to the lies of paranoia!

God may of scattered humanity over the earth to break its unity of disobedience, but we are really the maker of many of our own problems?

Jesus came into this world to buy us back by His own death and resurrection from the grave, because God loved us! This does not mean an excuse fro sin or keeping in the way that we once were, but rather changing to be more like Him!

John 3:14-17,  Genesis 11:1-8,  Psalm 119:73,  Romans 16:17,  2 Timothy 2:7,  1 John 5:20.

2017. A year Nearer!

Jesus promised Return!

It not a question will He, but rather when will He return?  For we who believe it should be our purpose and desire to hope for the return of Jesus soon to end the mess our world is in?

The Bible tells us that nothing is getting any better but rather worse than even in the days of Noah! We should be greatly encouraged knowing this, since we have much service and witness to do leading even our own families to know Jesus as we do?

1 Thessalonians 1:9-10,  Genesis 8:6,  Matthew 24:37,   Acts 1:7,  1 Peter 3:20.

Hearing the Truth. Two.

Stephen.

Stephen spoke the truth and for it he was attributed as the first Martyr of the Chistian Church!   Acts 7:1-60.

Today believers are still dying around the world, because we dare to speak the truth to a world full of selfies and selfishness? But we too were once blind and could not see this wonderful truth, this Love that God has for us?

1 Thessalonians 3:4.

Please do not stop speaking or sharing Jesus this season, because we do not know who will be chosen to join us soon at the Lords table to break bread and drink wine?

Matthew 12:18,  Romans 16:13,  1 Corinthians 10:16,   Colossians 3:12,   1 Peter 1:2.

Christmas?

God’s Love for Us!

People today are seeking most of all Love, this is their claim and they are finding it in all the wrong places? Materialism, wealth, decadance, and sexuality, they calim to have found it and at the cost of those who lost out?

But God’s love came into our world two-thousand years ago as a free gift in the baby Jesus! Humanity has constantly rejected the love of Jesus, thirty-three years after His birth they hung Him on a cross and jeered at Him!

What is Christmas all about? It is about applying this love that many claim that they have in Jesus? It is one of the times of the year when we have the oppertunity to put it into action?

John 3:15-21,  32-36,   James 2:18-22,  1 John 1:7-10.

Hearing the Truth. One.

Jesus came into the World!

It is only those who have heard and accepted the truth of Jesus words in relation to their need of Salvation, that receive the promises of Eternity with Him!

It is one thing to say that God sent His son into the world out of love, yes He did! But this does not mean that we continue in our sins after we come to know the Lord as many people today have ben deluded into believing?

It was thirty-three years after Jesus’ birth and hours before the cross, that  Pilate spoke the prophetic truth of who Jesus was and what role He had come into the world to achieve!

Mark 1:15,   Isaiah 9:9, 53:1-2,  4-7,   Luke 2:11,   John 18:37,   Acts 2:36-38.

Religious Fanaticism.

Guy Fawkes and on to the Present.

Nothing has changed over time with the human psyche to be motivated to do evil, there were as many before Fawkes and since?

Today the world faces a western onslaught from a new but another religious sect, who want everyone to believe their way or if they refuse be killed?

The Bible shows us that humanity never learns from its mistakes in relation to plots, to genocide, to murder all from a selfish narrow minded view. We can call it racism, sectarianism, religious fervour or revolution, it is basically all the same?

But God shows us a better way to escape this darkness and blindness of the world, if we would but have hope and trust in His son Jesus? For in Him we will find mercy, love and forgiveness of past sins.

The book of Esther,  Proverbs 21:27,  Matthew 15:18-19,  Luke 6:45,  1 John 2:13-14.

‘Not my brothers Keeper?

Doing Wrong.

Sin is conceived in the human heart, we see it time and time again throughout the Holy Bible from Cain right through to James warning us about knowing what we should do and not doing it!

Our problem is that we have an inherited condition, that we in our own strength cannot rid! But God has offered us His one and only son Jesus, who died on the cross/stake/tree 2000 years ago and has provided us with a divine blood transfusion!

It is our choice today wither we choose to admit our failures and seek to change our mental attitudes and walk with the Lord Jesus in a full surrender and have no desire to turn back?

Genesis 4:9-10,  John 8:44,  Ephesians 2:13,  1 Timothy 1:15,  James 4:17,  1 John 1:7.

End of the Age. Part-Two.

Like a thief in the Night!

Robbers never announce their coming, sometimes we might see something and think that does not look good? This makes us secure our homes, car, business and then we are proved right by the attempt!

But with the Lords return and the end of this age of Gods grace, it will come suddenly when we do not expect it! I recently heard a comment in the media about being complacent to terrorism, because that is when they will attack?

This is perhaps another way of looking at the situation humanity faces, but for us who believe it will be going home to be with the Lord for Eternity! Via the Day of Judgement!

Job 24:16,  Joel 2:9,  John 10:1,  1 Thessalonians 5:2,  2 Peter 3:10.

Humanity and Eternity. Two.

From Birth to New Birth!

Humanity has the choice today to choose Jesus, it has the oppertunity to not have to be selfish and live in a wrong way?

God cares for this world, he watches the way we go about our business everyday.

He is a creator who even care about the crippled and the lame!

Humanity cannot say on that day of Judgement that they did not know about their destiny to hell withouth acknowledging Jesus as Lord of their and our lives?

Jeremiah 1:12,  John 3:15-21,  Matthew 11:15,  Luke 14:21.

The Apocalypse. One.

The end is not Immediate?

What a statement to be made by Jesus in relation to the End of the Ages?

Jesus was hinting to a series of circumstances leading up to the Great day of His return and what processes where to follow!

The title of this series is the Apocalypse a Greek word meaning Revelation and the events of the End is written for us by the Disciple John as the last book of the Bible, New Testament.

Jesus is speaking to His own, us that we must not be scared or worried about these and the many other events. We will be handed up to the world to be put on trial for our faith, under accusations Just as He was.

But we will have the Power of the Holy Spirit within us to speak the right words at that time!

Luke 21:9, Matthew 24:6-8,  Luke 13:7-9.
