The continued Value of….

Preaching?

We tend in the west today to excuse the need to stand on a soap box and degrade our dignity on a street corner to tell dying society around us of the Good News of Jesus!

Christians have allowed the standards of the world to influence us and so in many places the faith is in decline? Some say it is different now with technology and the Internet, but one did not see much to qualify this during the pandemic in the British Isles so it is not true!

The world cannot see and does not want know, unless someone has the courage to speak and share Jesus and from this point to that of the pulpit, people need quality teaching and the altar call for people to believe that God loves them and gave to us His One and Only son, forgiving us of our pasts and promising to us the Eternal Life!

It is a simple message that needs to be got out and proclaimed by believers who will surrender all, not just the words of a hymn on a Sunday morning, but everyday?

Acts 2:26-31, 8:25, 14:6, 21, Romans 10:14, 1 Corinthians 15:1, 11, Galatians 4:13, Philippians 1:30, Colossians 1:23, 1 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 3:7, 15, 2 Peter 2:5, Revelation 1:9, 20:4.

LOVE!

A controversial Subject in the modern Ekklesia?

We only have to turn on the radio or the Tv and we are met with love songs and programs aimed at the subject, perhaps songs are the most created side in relation to love? But the love of the world is more about a sexual encounter, rather than that of romance and marriage and the creation of family!

Today many Christians have accepted the doctrine of love to cover sin of a sexual deviant nature in relation to biblical teaching, but this also is leading many people away from the truth’s in relation to Hell and the crimson worm/maggots that never die eating our flesh?

Many leaders and Evangelists will have to answer before God in telling lies and falseness, perhaps to cover their own sin in that God loves us and we are saved and can live the way we want to but that is not the the truth?

Matthew 5:44, 10:37, 22:37, Luke 6:32, 10;12, Isaiah 66:24, 1 Peter 4:8, 1 John 4:10, 21, 2 John 1:16, Revelation 3:19, 22:15.

Terror-ism!

Freedom fighters today, politicians Tomorrow?

King David was described by the society of his day as a baga bond, who was followed by criminals and yet he became Israel’s greatest King, up to the revelation of Jesus the Messiah!

Many world leaders were once terrorist come good, but one has to wonder about the accountability of Yassa Arafat, Martin Mcguiness and many others in relation to their past activities that lead to the murder of civilians?

The concept of this type of war is to frighten the unsuspecting and to maintain that fear into eventual submission, but it does not always work depending on the targeting of military/police or economic assets!

Governments only start to talk when its costing them big time and this was proved by the IRA and their targeting of London’s financial hub, but today we are dealing with religious fanaticism over events in the Middle-East, Libya, Israel, Palestine, Syria and Afghanistan?

Job 18:11, Isaiah 24:17, 31:9, Jeremiah 8:15, Luke 12:5. 1 John 4:18.

Halloween?

Showing that the Light of God always shines through the Darkness!

Many Christians today are quick to dismiss ‘Harry Potter and Halloween as evil and not of any value, yet the Anglican Church maintained this festival since the reformation to show that God is greater than the Devil!

Evil is a ever present reality just as sin is, but we all have choices in relation to our actions and people, children can have the fun, while learning to see the difference?

The means to evangelise over this all hallows, will be a great blessing to us and may change the hearts and minds of many young people in these perilous times of increased knife crime and other criminal activity, such as county lines and prostitution with all the other social media and cyber space related issues!

Genesis 6:5, Job 4:8, Psalm 7:14, 119:43, Proverbs 6:18, Ecclesiastes 2:13, Matthew 4:1, John 8:12, 9:5, 12:46, 16:3, Acts 13:10, 2 Corinthians 4:2, 11:14, Ephesians 6:11-12, James 3:15, 1 John 2:8.

HELL?

Who will be There?

The Holy Bible says all who have refused to believe and wicked cruel people! But that definition of sinners has changed today, because not all sin is sin, like loving children and same sex relationships?

Society and some elements of the Church have accepted sin on this one level, which does now justify the right to kill, steal, lie, be dishonest and disobey God! But this is not Gods way and we will have to give an account of our actions in this life!

Hope in God being fair is not good enough, because He has no favorites and what He says remains because we are believers we know that He does not change. There is a separation from God and it is well listed wither some leaders believe it or not in the Bible that not everyone is going to be in heaven!

Darkness, fires, unquenchable pain and all mentioned along with the bottomless pit and the torment of the Devil for Eternity! We cannot afford as leaders, evangelists and Pastors to ignore these facts and lead others in to a false sense of security when this is the reality of all who will be lost!

Deuteronomy 32:22, Psalm 55:15, Proverbs 27:20, Isaiah 28:15, Ezekiel 31:16, Matthew 23:33, Mark 9:43-48, Luke 16:22-23, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Ephesians 6:16, 2 Peter 2:4, Revelation 1:18, 21:8, 22:15.
