2019 Happy New Year?

Revelations and Disasters!

There is always something new to see or to experience and yet also new types of disasters that have not been seen in living memory? Space X is doing well, Virgin Atlantic have touched space and yet Indonesia has seen a Tsunami of a different kind!

Italy may face an eruption and more from Etna, Iceland still awaits its big turmoil and we enter the new year with great expectation in science and  medicine, but we still have to contend with Ebola and several other serious diseases or viruses!

God does not change through all these human years of history, since He exists outside of time! This year may bring us much and yet it is of the most importance, whoever we are that we know the Lord and have faith in Him! Knowing our sins can be forgiven, that we are back with the Father in His love and have that full assurance of Salvation!

Acts 1:7,   John 4:23-24,   Leviticus 19:26,   Colossians 2:2-15,  1 Thessalonians 5:1,   Jude 1:3,   Hebrews 11:5.

Christmas Limited?

The missing Parts?

Protestant evangelicalism could be accused of loosing out much since the German reformation of Martin Luther and the successive teaching of Calvin?

Even before the European reformation the Roman Catholic Church ignored the circumcision of Jesus on the eight day as not relevant, when it is essential in knowing that Jesus fulfilled all aspects of the Law of God for us!

The Magnificat and Zechariahs Prophecy are two key areas of New Testament scriptures that is lost in the Christian Church to bias from one side or the other, when they are both equally important for all believers!

Luke 1:46-55,   67-80,   2:21-24.

Both emphasise and signify that God has not yet and never will reject Israel the nation as much false teachings and doctrines today portray! We are in some serious dangers here and may loose our salvation if we continue to oppose God in a hostile way?

Romans 2:5-7,   Hebrews 2:14-15,   Revelation 22:16.

armistice?

culmination!

Its one hundred years since the end of World War-I (1914-18), ‘The wars to end all wars? But the truth was it was the beginning of a new age in warfare with the introduction of many new things, radio communications, mustered gas, flamethrowers and the tank!

It was also the age of the first use of aerial combat from ‘Dog fighting to bombing raids, by German airships over London and all gentlemanly of course!

What was gained was enough knowledge for world war-II (1939-45), were eugenics was fulfilled in the Nazi Holocaust and new atomics and rocketry  were also part of the new culmination of wars!

God wants us believers to really remember those who went before us and to see what he has done for us in redeeming us back to Him through Jesus! To understand that we have a precious salvation and the promise of an eternal life with Him!

Numbers 31:6,  Judges 3:10,  Psalm 120:7,  Jeremiah 14:15,  Acts 4:26,  Hebrews 9:11-12,  14,  12:1-2,  Revelation 17:14.

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.

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.

Chaos Theory. Part-Two.

Predictions two to the Penny.

Because of chaos the predicting of weather models, as was revealed last evening on the British BBC TV proved that all the local weather services to the vicinity of the U.K. had come up with such a wide variety of predictions, that one could do ones own.

Science cannot solve Chaos theory, but only guess in the short time depending on the weather system seen. It is really hit and miss? As humanity progresses this theory will not be solved or undone and it is a pity that more professionals do not speak up and be people of courage.

The bible is right in allowing us to see how we have mucked up this world, but God remains in control. He alone is the stabilising force, because He is outside time.

Psalm 18:2,  Isaiah 59:17,   Matthew 1:21,   Luke 5:31-32,   Ephesians 6:17.

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.

Birth of the great Shepherd. Part-Two.

A God who Cares.

Jesus came to die for us, because God cares for us. He cares for those in need and the poor, He is able to use others to inspire them to service and us to who believe in Him.

The world is full of do gooders, who moan about why? why? does God not do this and that, stop so and so?

God does not fit in our pockets, it is rather we who believe in Him fit into His.

Psalm 72:9-12,  John 3:15-17,  1 Corinthians 2:10.

Death and Resurrection. Part-Three.

Jesus Family.

When we come to the events that are part of our Easter celebrations, we tend to forget that Jesus’ family were with Him and around about. His earthly mother Mary was at the cross/stake/tree and rushing to the tomb on the morning of His resurrection.

Jesus had two new believers that are mentioned at the cross, the thief and the Roman soldier. On that first Easter morning many female followers came to that empty tomb, some saw Angels, others a bright light and a few Jesus arisen from the grave.

Matthew 27:55-56, 61, 28:3-6,  Mark 15:40, 47, 16:1-9,  Luke 24:1-10,  John 19:25, 20:1-11, 16, 18.

What or where will you be this coming Easter Sunday? Still in your sin, full of the world or will you have the faith to repent and believe in these Good works of Jesus, who has made final atonement for you and join the family of Ekklesia and the promise of Eternal Salvation!
