A Selfish Society! Two.

Regretting? 

Time will tell for the many nations who today call themselves advanced? One has to wonder what this advancement might mean, as to kill others to join in the unions and alliances of mass genocide in the names of science and advancement?

God will soon make His Judgement on the world, when Jesus returns to take His Ekklesia to meet Him in the sky! But between now and that great day, there is still time for us to repent and seek God, confessing our failure and seeing Jesus, who died for us forgive our failings!

1 Thessalonians 4:17,   1 Corinthians 15:52,   Mark 14:62,   Acts 26:18,   Philippians 1:19,  2 Timothy 4:4.

Fruit and Fire!

Only for Born-Again Believers?

When we are saved, knowing that God has forgiven our past sins, because we believed that Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day making that one and final atonement for sins, we will have received the Holy Spirit as both a guarantee and seal of our Salvation!

The Holy Spirit is that flame or fire of passion that burns within us, wanting to share the Good News message with the world around us, friends and family! He gives us a passion and compassion for others, while also the gifts become available for us to develop in Love!

But last of all we are given the free choices to go with God’s flow or to refuse to do so and so we must face the consequences of these choices at the End of the Age?

‘I Patrick a Sinner! Two.

Witnesses?

You need many witnesses to prove seeing something, wither it is an event, a issue to trial or a testimony? Today our world around us is full of liars and false witnesses, people gang up on you to say something that never happened and get others into serious trouble!

We have the two accounts of Saint Patrick that have been verified over the centuries, as one of the best accounts ever recorded by a Christian of Celtic Ireland! What he saw and experienced before his conversion and after on his return as a missionary and the founding father of the vision for Kells and Iona!

Our media is full of fake news, lies, unverified reporting and government propaganda! Meanwhile we are told to believe their events of a story and there is a serious lack of witnesses to that suspected event?

Many people who discount the Christian faith try to say it was Jesus Disciples and those few woman around Him who made up a story? But they do not realise that over five-hundred people saw Jesus alive bearing the marks of the Cross/Stake/Tree on His body for forty-days between His rising from the grave and His return to Heaven!

Deuteronomy 19:19,   Matthew 18:16,   John 8:17,   1 Corinthians 15:6,   2 Corinthians 13:1, 1 Thessalonians 2:10,   Revelation 21:8.

Crossroads. Two.

Living in the power of the Resurrection?

There are some people who believe or claim a faith in Jesus, but they fail to fathom the rising of Jesus the man from the grave?

This a serious flaw in the Christian faith, like that of denying that a loving God would send people to Hell! But without faith in the resurrection of Jesus, we cannot enter into the promised New Life!

All who witnessed Jesus rising from the dead where changed people, their faith was made full and they were empowered to press on believing, applying Jesus teaching and serving God!

John 11:24-24,  Acts 1:22,  4:33,  Romans 1:4,  6:5,  1 Corinthians 15:12-13,  Colossians 1:13, 1 Peter 1:23.

Crossroads. One.

Easter the pivot of human History!

Jesus came to die for our sins on the Cross/stake/tree, this was His choice and ultimate calling for us to be saved! He was the sinless perfect man, the Messiah of Israel wither accepted or not and the saviour of the world!

Without the shedding of His blood in that one final atonement, there can be no remission of sins! Jesus did this for all who would by faith believe in Him, confessing and repenting of our sins.

There is no other way to be born-again, to be saved from the destiny of destruction that the world in its own achievement is heading for!

2 Corinthians 3:4-6,  5:18-20,  Luke 22:20,  Ephesians 2:13,  Hebrews 12:26,  1 Peter 3:18.

LOVE?

Saint Valentine!

Its that time of the year again when couples express their love to each other with cards, roses and the special romantic meal, but this may be a kind of love that the world has made a tradition but it is not real love?

Real love is to care and cherish, without expecting any return or even a thank you!

The bible tells us that God loved us first, not that we loved Him! His love was enough to send to us His one and only son, to die on the cross/stake/tree and rise from the dead saving all who would believe from their sins!

The application of love will cost us, rejection, opposition, but if we keep focused on Jesus we will continue to have the right attitude and will not be troubled by disappointment, but rejoice in the good fruit that it will produce?

Genesis 29:20,  Exodus 20:6, Psalm 5:11,  31:23,  70:4,  97:10,  Proverbs 10:12,  Matthew 5:43-46,  John 3:3, 15-21,  Ephesians 5:2,  1 John 4:10-11.

‘Happy New Year 2018.

Peace and Joy!

This is the traditional message of Christmas, that today seems lost in the rush of buying for everyone, but many of our cards even secular ones will still have a greeting similar to this?

Real peace and joy comes only when we know the Lord Jesus as our personal Saviour, other wise it is nothing more than feelings that are very much fleeting?

Christmas and Easter are about Jesus birth and death, he cam as the babe human the Saviour of the world and the King of Israel and He died for the sins of His people Israel and also for the Gentiles to make reconciliation between two races and between fallen humanity and God!

Genesis 28:21,  Psalm 16:4,  37:37,  Matthew 28:21,  John 14:27,  Romans 15:13,  Hebrews 12:2.
