Living in dire Times?

Our rights and our Ignorance!

Wherever we live in this world taking some simple advice in relation to this medical situation and Pandemic would be wise?

But we humans at the best of times live in rebellion to God and many believers too have the arrogant attitude that they can deal with things on their own, even when the best advice is given to us!

This situation that we are in is not going away as some unwise leaders believe, this is because of going on as we are will only spread the virus and eventually with its mutations children will start dying since so far it has not discriminated who it kills?

Believers need to remain focused in doing what is right and obeying the leadership of wise medical staff in relation to social distancing and wearing face coverings, other wise many more people will die in the second and third waves of this COVID-19 pandemic!

Geneses 41:33, Job 11:6, Psalm 51:6, Isaiah 47:10, Luke 7:35, Ephesians 2:2-3, Philippians 2:2-3, James 3:14, 2 Peter 3:15.

Transgender Issues?

Testosterone!

What makes men and woman different is now the challenge that woman have to face with men who think or feel feminine and want to share the toilet, and also the sports field despite having more energy than females?

We are living in disturbing times, wither we call it apostate or something other it is not good for believers to accept sin and excuse it as something other?

In times past the Church and its institutions did cover up serious financial fraud and use other methods to hide its dishonesty!

But now we are living in an age were many people are vulnerable to sexual assault and rape and latest police figures suggest that much crime is either not being recorded or reported!

If we claim a faith in Jesus then we only have the Bible to live by and the conditions set by God, He who will have the last word at the end to the accountability for sin and our failures! We cannot excuse ourselves as many do today, believing that ‘Once they are saved they can live as they wish?

Romans 1:18-28, Psalm 81:12, Hosea 4:18, Ephesians 4:18, 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, Revelation 22:14-15.

Rainbow Diversity!

The eventual acceptance of Paedophilia?

The Church at this time is much different than it ever has been and is now open to many sexual preferences and yet doctrinally it remains stuck over the role of woman and many other areas?

One might be surprised that one should take on this subject and may feel hurt by the claims, but for the last sixty years many political groups within mainstream politics in the United Kingdom have tried to change the law in relation to paedophilia! Not as one would expect against it but for it, because many who practice what is now considered illegal will one day like same-sex relationships become acceptable?

Paedophilia is the last taboo in the Rainbow diversity challenge to sexuality, currently the new or great debate is on same Trans-gender facilities and there is much conflict over the matter of woman being molested by men, such as the issues with Harvey Winestien?

The doctrine of love has been the excuse for a long time in relation to these matters, but the whole concept of sexual deviance runs completely contrary to what God has to say in the Holy Bible and it would appear there is an open rebellion of apostacy now facing Christianity that is in conflict!

Matthew 18:6, Mark 9:42, Luke 17:1-2.

Luke 17:28-29, Romans 1:24, 26-27, 9:29, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Ephesians 5:5, 1 Timothy 1:10, Jude 1:7, Revelation 21:8, 2:15.

Genesis 19:4-13, Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, Deuteronomy 23:17-18, Judges 19:22, 1 Kings 14:24, 15:12, 2 Kings 23:7.

The book of Revelation! One.

Why no longer Popular?

Over the last forty years it seems that the book of Revelation is not as popular as it was say in the 1950’s?

One reason may be that it is difficult to understand or it is not relevant to the problems in the modern age?

The other reason is perhaps it warns those of us who claim a faith in God, but live in rebellious sin? Revelation does tell us the fate of liars, those doing dishonest gain and living in effeminate lifestyles!

1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Ephesians 5:3-6, Revelation 9:20-21, 21:8, 27, 22:14-15.

Adultery and Divorce!

A plague in modern Society?

Marriage today has become cheap, being not much more than a fad something to be experienced and then broken up and put aside?

No longer is marriage between and man and a woman, but now it is same sex running contrary to the teachings of the Holy Bible because its based on selfish motives and lust over that of love and forgiveness!

Christians are failing to speak out or to condemn evil practices in our nations and society! The fear of man now predominates the Church were ever it has got a foothold?

There does not seem to be a separation line between faith and the world, something to show that when we are born-again we have become a changed people? We have to live in the world, but the world must not live in us influencing us back to what we were before!

Believers need to show couples getting married in Churches the seriousness of what they are doing, the vows and promises they are making to God first and then to each other! The need to forgive when each will fail, to know that we have to forgive, since He first forgave us!

That same sex marriage is wrong and is an abomination to God, love here is not the question but rather lust which is evil and leads to many other sexual sins!

Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, Psalm 81:12, Matthew 5:28, Mark 10:11-12, Luke 16:15, 18, Romans 1:27, 7:3, 1 Corinthians 6:9, 7:2-3, 11:12, Ephesians 4:32, Colossian 3:13, Hebrews 13:4, 2 Peter 2:10.

How we do outreach/reach out?

Lack of Witness!

There is a serious decline today in preaching and teaching the biblical message to the lost in society, their seems to have been a change were the Church is now more aligned with the world than it is with God and the Holy Bible?

Perhaps the main cause for this change is the fear of persecution or having to give up the panelled homes of the clergy who life the life of Riley at the cost of their faith!

But many believers continue to share their faith with others, even not compromising on homosexuality but warning of the consequences of unrepentance and change that is required by God when entering into the New Life!

Out-reach-out remains one of the most important forms of witness for believers and Gods Ekklesia, it reveals to the community who and what we are and how we should care for the people around us instead of ourselves and hoping that God-Jesus will do the hard work for us?

Matthew 3:3, 7:2, 18:14, Luke 7:22, John 14:6, Acts 9:31, Romans 1:17, 1 Corinthians 12:2, Ephesians 2:20, Colossians 4:5.
