PENTECOST!

Fire, gifts, comfort and Friendship?

The world today is a harsh and pressured place to live in to survive, one wonders what they said two thousand years ago in Jerusalem and Rome bustling cities in their own right?

Life is pressured and people are demanding to meet deadlines, sometimes even the Church can be worse than the world when tempers fray?

God promised through Jesus that the believers would never be alone, we have got a wonderful friend to help us all the time! He has given us gifts to use, He helps us pray, has provided us with Spiritual armour and He is our friend to guide us through the difficulties and the good times of our lives!

Psalm 48:14,   Ecclesiastes 12:11,   Acts 2:3-4,   Ephesians 6:10-17,   Revelation 2:7.

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.

The Spiritual Realm. One.

Un Explained!

Science, philosophy may from time to time make the attempt to try to explain elements of the Spiritual realm? But when they fail to try to understand it, they are quick to dismiss it?

Yet as believers we know that the realm of God is as real to us at the physical that we are living in today! This world hates us and torments us in many sly and slippery ways, but we have the power of the Holy Sprit to bring to us comfort as Jesus promised!

The world will never see what we have, unless they see their failures and repent turning to God in trust? Knowing that he does care for us and is concerned for our welfare and future destiny!

Jeremiah 29:11,  John 14:16,   15:26,   Acts 2:4,   2 Corinthians 1:4-5,   7:7,   2 Thessalonians 2:4.

The Doctrine of Feelings. Part-Two.

Right Feelings.

There is a big and important difference between what we feel and how we feel! This time we will look at the feelings of love for family and having compassion as Jesus had on us.

Brothers and sisters who have been seperated for a long time and come upon a chance meeting will find themselves in a emotional time bomb of feelings, much as Joseph when he saw his brothers again. Genesis 43:30, 45:1.

Then when we see our need of Dod and have that desire to be with Him. Psalm 42:4.

Our compassion for others, as Jesus had compassion for us when we were in our sins. This is the key between feelings and feeling for others. Colossians 3:12.

‘I have a Dream! Part-One.

Dr. Martin Luther King.

These are perhaps the most profound words spoken in the 20th Century and now it would seem that they have been fulfilled?  It is some times hard to believe that black people in Britain and the US are still considered not fully accepted into society today.

Racism and segregation continue, perhaps more in Europe than it does anywhere else in the ‘Christian world. One could include Australia and New Zealand to, who have problems with allowing the native peoples there own rights in their own countries.

The Sin in our hearts is great, we tend to think of lies, theft, selfishness and seek to get right with God. Yet we are not able to see the plight and oppression of our neighbours?

Exodus 22:7-11,  Psalm 15:3,    Matthew 5:43,    Luke 10:29.

Christmas.Part-One.

Hype and Advertizing.

For many people the Christmas season has started and we see are TV screens full of high powered and emotional advertising, promting us to buy generally food. But how many people today in Britain have any real knowledge of what Christmas is really about?

Many who go to Church and may even say ‘that they are believers, refuse to believe in the miracles of the Virgin birth of Jesus and the Star, appearing Angels. it has become a sort of dolly mixture of reallity and myth to them. the reason for this is that many people have and are allowing rationalism to influence their faith.

It is very similair to Satan descieving Eve in the Garden of Eden, by saying to her ‘You will not die!  We so need to believe and not allow anything to take away from us the facts of our faith and the truth of the bible applied everday in our lives.   Genesis 3:4,   2Corinthians 11:3,   Ephesians 6:11-13,   Titus 1:9.
