Jesus Challenge’s!

The religious hypocrisy of His day?

Despite time, this sin of unbelief remains in many parts of traditional Christianity today, where Jesus is no longer Jewish?

Faith is the answer to believing, since there is no other way to be saved, but many abandoned this concept for something that is more easier and less accountable and that is why there is so much scandal in those denominations, when there is not repentance!

The more our Lord spoke the more they set their hearts to kill Him, since He was showing them what they were and that more so of dishonesty and making excuses in how to get around the law, something that many Christians today also excuse to their fate?

God is merciful, compassionate and kind to all who seek Him and to us He is our comforter through the Holy Spirit that is within us!

Acts 8:37, Proverbs 30:5, Hebrews 9:26-27.

Hate and Hatred!

Terminology that Woke avoids Using?

We live in worsening times, were reality is being replaced with words that refuse to explain the motives of evil people and this is now being employed by some media outlets to cover up why Islamic terrorism is becoming more active in Germany and the U.S.!

But despite this we as believers need to be aware that Islam is not what it claims to be, but rather that of forced conversions or decapitation and the way it sees the world, if from only its point of view?

How do we deal with this rise of hate and hatred is to explain what sin and jealousy is to a dying world, and to do it is a loving way that is factual and true that will convict hearts and minds in love and what we will see is the hypocrisy of the woke movement coming to the fore!

Matthew 24:10, Luke 6:22, John 7:7, 15:18, Romans 3:22-23, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26-27.

A Happy New Year and the Lords Blessings!

HELL!

The refusal to warn people about Hell?

This is becoming a new thing in western woke society to avoid upsetting others, with the connotation of archaic words and causing offence, when truth is being replaced with lies and the Ekklesia refuses to take responsibility or recognize in fear of being persecuted?

But Hell is real for wicked and unbelievers, it is also for those who rebel within being saved or who deluded by wrong teaching and wonder off into ungodly things, which we looked at last time with the Pitfalls of the faith!

Hell is real because Jesus said so and we are warned that what we term now as a God of Love will do this to the above mentioned

Matthew 5:29-30, 10:28, Mark 9:48, Luke 16:23, 25, 2 Thessalonians 1:9, 2 Peter 2:4.

Original Confidence!

Staying the Course?

Not all who come to faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus stay the course, fear of man, tiredness, trials cost and burn out many that is why Jesus told us about the sower and the seeds in His Gospel parables!

But if we fail, we should repent and seek our Lords forgiveness, since our destiny is not a good destination and there is no return after death?

God wants us to be both wise and honest and press on knowing in whom we have believed and that He will never fail or leave us and we will make it home, one day to be with Him for evermore!

Proverbs 13:11-14, Malachi 4:1, Hebrews 3:12-15, Revelation 17:7.

The out working of Sin!

Cain had a choice and so do we?

Jealousy set in to the heart of Cain against his brother Abel and it continues to this day, between nations and individuals even many who profess to know God, they allow their hearts to be darkened!

God warned Cain he had a choice and he went with Satan to oppose God and to kill, this past few days the former U.S. President nearly became a legacy for the United States when Mr, Crook was 2-inches form killing him?

Jesus is the answer, if we keep Him as the focus or source point of our lives and not choose to wander off is some false idea, doctrine, teaching or a;;ow anger to take control of us!

Genesis 4:6-7, Proverbs 14:29, John 3:3, 14-21, Romans 3:23, 6:23, 2 Corinthians 12:20, 1 Timothy 2:8, Hebrews 11:27, James 1:19-20.

Easy and Hard?

Ways!

There are two ways to go in life so the Holy Bible tells us, the easy way to Hell and the narrow way to God!

Most people follow the broad way, even many who have made a confession, soon become inactive in fellowship and a bad example to many others?

But we are of the hard way, that costs and will hurt since we are sharing in some of the sufferings of our lord and our way is narrow and winding, but we are going up and not down even though it may feel that way at times!

Many are called few are chosen, those saved from much will do much, those from less, less will be done.

Psalm 16:11, Matthew 7:13-14, 18:8, Luke 13:24, John 14:6.

Lack of Preaching!

Fear?

Is it fear of the laws of the lands, or is it being lazy and hoping our gracious God will do it for us, as we lounge about hoping for that great revival to come?

Has prayer replaced preaching or is it seen as old fashioned and like many things in modern society old and not of any value?

God does not change, only we do and this has been foretold in the New Testament that people will grow cold, that truth is no excuse to stop, since many still want to hear and many will claim on the day of Judgement that they never heard.

John 3:3, 14-18, Romans 10:17, 1 Timothy 4:1-2, Hebrews 9:26, 10:10, Revelation 3:20.

Ascension and Return!

The way of the World?

Our societies are moving into unnatural areas of science that will allow two men to have a baby, as is reported from Japan and so we already have three way surrogate parenting which proves the human mind continues to seek out these things!

Man wants to reach the stars with a load of one hundred people at one time, Musk has failed for now but he will get there will lesser, but still enough to build on Mars and go other places?

N-Korea is making threats, the Ukraine situation could boil over along with Israel moving and taking the Temple Mount, aggravating Islam and the beginning of more than one third world war, since we humans are fickle minded?

All of this points us to the days of Noah, eating, drinking and not caring about God, in fact they were and are today side lining Him again to please themselves and so when the Lord appears it will be a dreadful time for them, but for us we will be taken up in the skies to meet Him.

With Easter past the work must continue to preach the Gospel message and teach believers our needs met and conduct kept, to see souls won and to show love to the unloved, the oppressed, the hurting as Jesus has done for us so we must do to others?

Matthew 24:38-39, Luke 17:27-30, 1 Peter 3:20-22,.

EVIL! One.

The World/Kosmon.

We have all as believers come out of the world, its ways, selfishness, achievement, lies, filth, sexual pleasures, theft, financial gain, and walking over others?

For some who claim a faith in God, some of the above mentioned is fine for them, then the problem is that they have either turned back or that they are not fully saved, or worst still religious imposters?

Evil is the basis of sin, but we know that some people are more evil than others and other deliberately provoke God in their sin! Intimidation, bullying, dishonest gain, tax dodging to sexual sins of lesbianism and homosexuality, while even wearing the cloth and claiming the love of God?

But God sees through our motives and it is only He who knows everything, wither He acts now of tomorrow or never until the day of Judgement that ball is in his court alone!

Genesis 6:5, 13:13, 38:7, Deuteronomy 31:18, Job 1:1, Psalm 14:4, 34:16, 55:15, Matthew 5:11, 24:12, Mark 7:21, Luke 6:9, John 3:20, Acts 8;22-23, Galatians 5:21, Colossians 3:5.

The Prodigal Son! Two.

A picture of Youth?

Sins today consequences tomorrow, it may not be for all misspent youth but for some who inherit early it is a common factor to pain later on?

Here we are shown that young man who perhaps set off out into the world with good intentions, but the riotous living and the lights of the world caught up with him and he fell into those temptations we are told about and so he ends in a place of humiliation, with that final though of returning home!

Many people today have the opportunity to turn to God, they may even be considering Him and yet they refuse for a plethora of reasons not to come home to a loving Father and a heavenly home, but remain in the dross and muck of this world?

Luke 15:12-18, Job 21:13-15, Proverbs 6:26, Romans 13:13-14.
