Birth of the Great Shepherd. Part-Three.

Uncaring Humanity.

Christmas does not end with the birth of the baby Jesus, after all the commercial build up to this one special day of food, family, presents, arguments, lonliness, suicide and adultry?

People had to flee Bethlehem, after the birth and the visit of the Magi because mad King Herod was out to get rid of this child. In fact we see this everyday in the world, people keep rejecting the good news message of Jesus, with all sorts of excuses.

Herod was not the first, he is not the last and there will be more of the same to come. Pharoah of Egypt, the Turkish-Armenian genocide, the Crusades, Adolf Hitler, Phol Pot, Burundi-Rwanda.

Even this week there has been mass murders and another Burundi crisis is fermenting as humanity condems Paris and forgets about the rest of the world.

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.

When man began to Dwell. Part-Three.

Inheritance.

One would like to think that after the flood, humanity would have learned a thing or two. But sadly they grew in numbers again and fell into the same sins, which they had inherited from those eight survivors of year 601.

They descided to get together and build that tower, that they knew would lead to their confusion by God and being spread out from each other across the Earth. But they still went ahead with their plans, and this is a warning to the world today that it is heading for destruction. Not by water as scientists claim, but by fire as the bible says.

Genesis 11:1,  3,  8, 2 Peter 3:7.

Bara-Created. Part-One.

God Created.

Only God can create, we have seen it mentioned in this blog by me time and again. Man copies what already exists, he cannot create life. Humanity can design and plan, cars, machines, houses, structures, rockets, spaceships, robotic engineering and that is it.

God made the world, the universe and man in His time period, not that of the ideas of science and theory. That is perhaps hard to grasp for some people who are more afraid of Christianity, because they do not want to see their own failures and selfishness.

Genesis 1:1, 27, Revelation 10:6.

The Third Man.

Holy Ghost/Spirit.

For the Christian God is more than one, he is three, father, son and Holy Ghost/Spirit. But it is only believers in the death and resurrection of Jesus who recieve the promised empowerment of this invisible man.

The New Testament tells us He is the comforter and He comes alongside believers to help us to serve, to pray to preach, to give our testimony.

The world cannot have Him, because they do not believe and are unrepentant?

John 11:25,  14:26,  Acts 2:33, 2 Corinthians 12:10, Ephesians 6:18.

His Story. Part-One.

We Must Never Forget!

We could now be on the verge of another European war with the new Russian Federation, over the fate of the Ukraine. The problems that we face as believers is that of an illegal Ukrainian Revolution, with an un-elected government being recognised in a legitamate way by the leaders of the United States and the European Union.

Over one hundred policemen were battered to death in Kiev, but many leading politicians have accepted the will of the people. Here in many European countries, this type of violence to overthrow a system or government, would not be accepted.

The last time duplicity was used, was by the German Nazi Dictator, Adolf Hitler from 1933 to 1945. Many millions of people died in a World Warthat was  fought on many fronts, but essentially it was for the unification of Europe.

ROBOTS. Part-Two.

Humanities Greed.

From science fiction to reality, many aspects of the Robot has many good and practical uses. But then comes the horror of something going wrong! This stems from mans greed, the wanting of more and more.

With a mass production line, comes the cutting of corners and saftey. We already have seen this in trains, aircraft, shipping such as the Titanic. Many disaster, including bad management in relation to the Space Shuttle crashing.

Humanity continues to practice slavery today on different levels, but it all comes back to greed and selfishness.

Proverbs 30:15,   Matthew 23:25,   Mark 7:21-22,   1 Peter 2:15.

Stephen.

The first Christian Martyr.  Acts 6:5-8:3.

Today we hear daily in our media reports of the deaths of Christians in Iraq, Syria and Egypt. But many more die across the globe in China, India, the Muslim world, tribal and political violence in Africa and South-America.

Meanwhile Christians die in the Britain and the U.S.A. for their faith, or good deeds. The world does not love us, because we do not continue to tell lies and live in the darkness. We are alive within the New Life, that the Holy Spirit of God is within us. We will be honest and tell the truth. We will also help those in need, in the world and in the Church and not find escuses to justify Sin.

Stephen was murdered by Libertarians not because he had a faith in God, but because he spoke a truth that  they did not want to hear. We will be persecuted and some of us may go home, but even if we are attacked, provoked we must learn to forgive and not react.

Ephesians 4:23, 32,   Colossians 3:10,   Hebrews 12:24,   1 Peter 1:4,   1 John 2:9,   Revelation 3:12.

Terrorism. Part-One.

Freedom Fighters or Murderers?

Modern terrorism is not really much different from anything that was done in the past. It depends which country that we will choose to look at first. In the UK it has been Irish based terror, which has and continues now for over 200 years. It depends which side of the fence that you might be on?

Europe has and many other countries around the world suffer terribly from these kinds of attacks almost on a daily basis. Everyone will point their finger at Israel in how its treats the Palestinians and yet since 7/7 Britain now faces home grown terror from its own Muslim population.

The bible tells all the time about war and murder, most of the books in the Old Testament tell of how Israel had to fight the nations around them. But God is very clear about the differences of a war and murder.   Exodus 20:1-26, The Book of Joshua.

Sexuality. Part-One.

The World.

The world and the people in it make their own choices and have ideas about certain and yet everything. The Church/Ekklesia or family of God, the claimed followers of Jesus death and resurrection and His return are different from the world.

We who claim to be believers in Jesus have accepted Gods ways, not the ways of those outside us. Yet today many ‘Christians live in Sin, in contradiction to the teachings of the Bible. Homosexuality is now accepted by many and many ‘Church leaders are ‘Gay’ and married as Gay couples.   Genesis 2:24,   Matthew 19:5-6.

Yet all of this goes against the teaching of the Bible.  Genesis 19:5-8,   Leviticus 18:22,  Romans 1:26-27,  Revelation 21:8,  22:15.
