Remembering!

This year it has been treated with Respect?

In the last Century it is very difficult to comprehend how many people died in mechanised wars, that started with the Boers in 1904 in South-Africa, World War-I (1914-18), World War-II (1939-45), the Japanese conflict, which started in 1931-45!

Then we have all the wars from 1947 to 9/11 Iraq, Middle-East conflicts, Malay, Pakistan and many across the continent of Africa? Well over 100, 000,000 Million people died on our planet and despite the Promises of peace, or ‘Never Again, it has happened again?

Many Christians take the pacifist stance that it is not fit for us to go to war, since the Hebrew priests of the Old Testament did not! But this is not quite true, because in some cases they had no choice and when we come to Israel ancient and modern it has to defend itself from hostile enemies?

The ideas of the illegal occupation of Palestinian land does not corelate with Biblical doctrine, there has to be a Temple in Jerusalem for the Anti-Christ to operate from and for the Lord Jesus to return to at the end of the ages!

Genesis 9:16, Leviticus 25:38, Proverbs 17:9, Luke 21:10, Acts 20:35, 1 Corinthians 15:1, Galatians 2:10, 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, Hebrews 13:3, 2 Peter 3:2, Revelation 12:17, 16:15, 19:11.

The watering down of the Truth!

Guy Fawkes now anti-Catholic?

Over the years things have been getting worse for Christians on the mainland -GB, with the watering down of the Gospel, witnessing at work and the introduction of denial doctrines to counter act the truth of the Bible!

Many Anglican Church leaders know refuse to acknowledge the reformation of 433 years ago and are sticking to their Roman Catholic or Celtic roots 4th Century foundation? The Protestant reformation is seen as anti-Catholic and yet they are the same to deny that under Queen Mary-1 over fifty-five thousand Christians were martyred in her short reign by the orders of the Papacy!

Another issue is the denial of historical facts and the many freedoms the media has with the press today, come from the Protestant Puritans fight? What we can say today, remains a issue in many Catholic nations as unspoken except in private!

One hope that the Guy, the English traitor is burned this November the 5th and that children are taught some historical facts that need to be reinforced in a right way in our Churches and schools today!

John 3:21, 4:24, Acts 10:34, Romans 2:2, 2 Corinthians 13:8, Galatians 4:16, 2 Timothy 2:25.

Working with Children n Young People?

Laying Foundations!

Roman Catholicism believes that if you can win them young you have them for life, so the saying goes? But this is not actually true, because all children have to be confirmed into the Church at a certain age wither they profess a faith or not since this is a religious system that is based on traditions and ritualism!

We must not make excuses in our reaching out to children in Sunday school, youth clubs, house groups and other, believing that the new growth comes only this way? One has to wonder where the power of God is in such places, since these are the ideas of the human mind and not that of the inborn Holy Spirit!

The Apostles the Fathers of the Ekklesia did not preach exclusively to one age group and thus this is the way to progress and continue in under the grace of God! It is good to have a working for every-age within the life of the Church and nothing must be side-lines, even the dotty old dears may hear something and the dynamic power of the Spirit will bring them to salvation?

Matthew 3:1, Mark 1:4, Acts 6:2, 15:31, Romans 1:9, 15:4, 1 Corinthians 9:18, 14:3, Galatians 1:23, 1 Thessalonians 2:16, 1 Timothy 4:13, Philemon 1:7, Hebrews 13:22.

Sunday evening Services! Two.

Ekklesia is not like the Kosmon?

What is being lost in not having an Sunday evening service is that of fellowship of believers ahead of the working week! The world is very hostile most of the time to believers, we are attacked for what disagrees with their standards and ours are dismissed as archaic?

A two hour slot of praise, prayer and preaching with an after fellowship of just meeting and talking with folk is the varied ways of helping and leading others to God! When you have worked prior to going into ministry, you are more likely to see the needs in particular loneliness and despair!

God came to save sinners and the Ekklesia is a place for believers to meet together and be built up, its not a club or some unneeded tradition of religious observance! We need to help those who are seeking God and keep our flocks well watered and fed?

Acts 2:42, Romans 16:8, Philippians 2:1, Philemon 1:6, 1 John 1:6.

Sunday Evening Services! One.

No longer Popular?

Many fellowships today only have Sunday morning services and have ended their evenings for the pleasures of the television and other?

They see no value in pressuring their congregations into attending Church twice on a Sunday! But one has to say I think this is wrong, the opportunity to share the Gospel is slowly being eradicated and we will have to give God an account for missed souls?

Many in ministry have it easy, compared to normal 9-5 work and so it seems another chip off the block can be sacrificed? Many people today work in the gig economy and would like to break bread before or after work, to be fed spiritually and have the opportunity to bring a friend?

Isaiah 40:11, 56:11, Ezekiel 34:2, Luke 2:20, 1 Peter 5:2.

DAY TWO!

The EASTER Story.

Much has been written about the events of Easter, the death of Jesus on the cross/stake/tree are the essentials of the power of our redemption and forgiveness of failures to the promise of the New Life or being Born-Again!

We also know of the much in connection to the resurrection of Jesus from the grave and again the fulness of the promise of Eternal Salvation, but the hours between these two tremendous events are hardly ever covered in detail?

We get but a glimpse of the burial of Jesus, the torn curtain in the Temple in Jerusalem and the lies that were put in place to dishonour these events! When Easter is over Pentecost is the next episode of the Christian Church, missing out the Ascension of Jesus!

Matthew 27:33-66, Mark 15:47- 16:1, Luke 23:55-56.

The Book of Revelation! Two.

Israel and the 144.000?

This is proof that God has not given up on the Jewish people or the restoration of them in the land that He gave them!

Anti-Semitism and anti-Israel are rife today in the European Christian scene, because the roots of the Nazi-German Holocaust lives on disguised as pro-Palestinian issues?

We are in great danger of loosing our salvation, when we allow the world to interfere with our faith in God and our claimed walk with Jesus? Some believers claim they are able to balance this out, but this is not true! One cannot be lukewarm with God, we are either with Him or not!

The Kingdom of Israel will be established and filled with the 144,000 chosen of God, this one thousand year reign on the Earth will be followed by the end!

Matthew 25:34, 26:29, John 3:3, 14-18, Acts 17:31, 1 Corinthians 1:20-21, 26-28, 2:12, 3:18-19, Galatians 6:14, Revelation 1:6, 5:10, 7:4, 11:15, 14:1, 3, 16:10, 17:17, 19:6, 22:5,

Holocaust Denial?

Historical Revisionism!

How many Gentiles love Jewish people or support Israel today?

Not many is perhaps the answer, then you have some serious problems!

God has a plan for Israel in their promised land that He gave them in times past and that they now possess, there in mention of the Palestinians in His plan, unless they confess Jesus and join the Ekklesia or Bride of Christ?

We must be very careful in relation to what we think we know about the Holy Bible, how we read it and understand it? The Christian Protestant Church is tainted with the false doctrine of Replacement theology that tells believers we get all the blessings and the Jews the curses!

But the Holy Bible never says anything like that and many today who ignore the word of God on many issues will not enter Heaven tax dodgers, braggers, liars, chancers and people who play games with God for unjust motives!

Zephaniah 2:8, Zechariah 2:11, 8:7, Matthew 2:6, 12:42, Mark 12:39, Luke 1:68, 2:32, Acts 7:34, 11:26, Romans 9:27, 11:25, Revelation 2:14, 21:12.

We are living in dangerous times, things will only get worse and Christians are being martyred at an estimated 250 per month worldwide! Most are being killed for many reasons around the world, but in the west its threats to shut-up and don’t rock the boats of sin and disobedience to God!

Historical revisionism is leading silly people to believe lies upon lies and change history in the continued move of being anti-God! Israel is back in its land and it needs to carry on clearing it for Jesus return! The Bible is a hard book and its hard to be a believer, but we must remember that the world has never given us anything good??

Jesus Circumcision?

Fulfilling the Law and set us Free!

The Law is what the world lives under and to set us free from rules and regulations was the work of Jesus, who we as believers in Him will be celebrating this Christmas?

Many have taken away the emphasis of this part of the story of the birth of Jesus, their reasons may be more to do with anti-Semitism rather than it being just a minor issue!

Jesus came for Israel first and so He had to fulfil the Jewish Law by doing everything that it required, because He was both perfect and sinless a second Adam. If we see this and point it our to others, it will make understanding more of the New Testament teachings in a better way.

Limiting it because its not relevant now, is no excuse in explaining the role of the law which will come up again and again in the scriptures! One is concerned that much racism amongst believers is both a block and short coming to mission, outreach and preaching the Gospel today?

Let us this season stand back knowing the fulness of this season and our own salvation in God, hoping that by our witness others will to come to faith in Jesus the King of Israel and the Saviour of the world!

Luke 2:21, Genesis 17:12, Leviticus 12:3, Galatians 4:4-5.

Israel! Two.

Prophetic and Reality?

Where do we think Jesus will return to when He comes back?

All prophecy is based on the Messiah Jesus in relation to the events that will lead to the end of our world and the great day of Judgement! This will take place in the restored Temple o the Temple mount in Jerusalem and not as some think, Rome or some other place full of Christians?

Jesus is not just returning to gather Ekklesia, but also to restore Y’srael Basilia ot the Kingdom of Israel! Some believe this will be the establishment of the real Israel, but that has already happened so that the false messiah will be revealed!

How can we be sure of this facts, first many believers now know that we are living in the last days of the great delusion! People want to defy God on every level, they also want to undermine the teachings of the Bible and twist them to suit their own agenda!

Israel grows and its enemies are either appeased or are to be removed, the world goes with the idealistic idea of a two state solution, but there is nothing in the Holy Bible in relation to that set up!

Isaiah 10:21-22, Jeremiah 3:14, 31:8, Daniel 11:28-29, Hosea 3:5, Zechariah 8:3, Malachi 1:4, Acts 2:20, 1 Corinthians 1:8, 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4, 2 Timothy 4:8, Hebrews 10:25, 37, 2 Peter 3:4, 10, Revelation 1:10, 2:16, 19:15.
