Perseverance!

The calling of the Believer?

Suffering is now a dirty word in the Ekklesia now, because people have rights and equality and they believe that they cannot be pushed around by others, so they just sometimes have to put up with some things!

So perseverance has no meaning for many western Christians, but with all that said and done the other 90% of the world have to live with it everyday and many cannot even declare their faith or be killed for it, in other religions and in atheistic lands that refuse to tolerate anything but their own paganism?

Without suffering we cannot be tested by God to our loyalty to Him and without perseverance we cannot grow, many in the west are dry, cold, or over happy clapping, but they are lukewarm and dead!

Jude 1:17-23, Romans 9:8, Philippians 3:3, Colossians 2:7.

Weighed!

We cannot escape Him with our Excuses?

The first passage speaks about the arrogant being weighed by God in their actions and this is connected to a verse where God is ever seeing us and we cannot or ever hide from Him!

The next passage tells us that we may slip away from Him because of the things of this world dominating us and we lacking to seek help from Jesus, our Lord and Savior?

All of them prove that our intent, actions and motives will be accountable to Him and as believers what we say will be brought before Him in our accounts!

The promise of Salvation is what it is and we have to be honest and right and not think pride and other issues can be excused?

1 Samuel 2:3, Luke 21:34, Hebrews 4:12-13, James 5:5.

Who is Jesus!

Who is He really?

Do we really think that God has rejected Israel for the rights of the Palestinians or do we accept that He is the King of Israel as well as the Savior of the world!

Are we mixing politics with religion and humanism over faith or are we just hating God, through hating His race and being pretend Christians?

This is the image that many are seeing in believers today, that we justify sin and that we are for things that do not exist, so many are turning to religion with rules like Islam!

So we are left with this one passage in Luke 1:68-79.

EASTER?

What does it Mean!

The world is finding excuses everyday to get away from God, from Jesus and from the Holy Bible, because they want to live their lives their own ways without Him interfering, just the same way Jesus was misunderstood by Israel over two thousand years ago?

What they wanted was to be delivered from Roman occupation, today people want the freedom to sin, dishonesty, lies and sexual deviancy and so they misunderstand that Jesus is our suffering servant, who has come to invite us home to eternity by His blood making that atonement for sin, if we would surrender in repentance to Him and discover His forgiveness!

It is getting harder to preach or share the Gospel with many people being offended, while others find the language offensive and they complain to undermine the truth, since most today in the Kosmon are living in the delusions of the age!

Psalm 51:1-5, Isaiah 53:1-12, 2 Corinthians 2:14-16, Hebrews 2:15-18, 4:12-13, 9:26-27, 10:10, 15, Jude 1:6-7.

A.I. The future of Humanity!

The moral Question?

This depends from what religion or culture that you come from outside that of Christianity and that is why many nations are allowing for research into genetically modified humans as being more suitable than robots on the battlefield and eventually space exploration!

Bur today A.I. is being used in medicine, the nuclear industry and the military, with success, but also serious flawed failures as seen recently in the Middle-East, while the same flaw was ignored in Afghanistan by ISAF?

It would seem in the light of what we have learned so far the high moral ground is being ignored and that for financial gain rather than the cost or the value of human life!

Jeremiah 2:22, 1 Peter 1:18-19, Jude 1:23.

Happy New Year 2024!

Jesus and the Law?

Many unwise believers today think that God has given up on His law and its application in our lives, but as we who have a personal faith should know that He has not and the Law of God is eternal!

Yes we are free from the curses of breaking the Law and its punishment, because Jesus fulfilled this for us on the cross and His rising from the dead!

But the law is still not to be abused or ignored and the ten Commandments are part of the 613 laws that cover all area of our lives, they are not archaic as some believe, because of where we might live in the world and we are advised to obey them in our relationship with Jesus, while also pointing them out to both Kosmon and to Ekklesia?

Exodus 20:1-17, Leviticus 19:22, Matthew 19:17-19, 1 John 4:7-21.

The book of Revelation?

A mirror to the soul re-exploitation!

Replacement theology has lead many believers to discount the teaching of the book of Revelation as having no practical application in our modern world, but sometimes it is referred too in relation to End time events and the return of our Lord Jesus?

Otherwise the key elements of the salvation of Israel and the underlying secret slavery in society is avoided, it is a mirror of guilt in relation to service, servitude and cheap workers for clothing, medical care and a under payed work force and former imperial slavery and the lack of compensations to the survivors?

God is the only one who really knows our hearts, we may be serving Him in good faith, while hiding the secrets of prostitution, dishonesty, tax evasion and corruption, secret societies and much more!

John 9:41, Titus 3:3, Hebrews 4:13-14, 2 Peter 2:19, Revelation 7:1-8, 18:13.

Stephen!

The cost for loving Jesus?

Most of us will never have to face death for our faith in God, but many do around the world and more so during Christmas and Easter from deceived and sick people who fail to grasp the truth even about their own religions or atheism!

Many of us do face some form of intimidation, insult and attack from the world daily and it is hard at times to love these idiotic nasty people?

We can be attacked even in fellowship by our so called brothers and sisters, out of spite and jealousy, arguments boil over nothing and can lead to bitter roots something we are warned not to allow in our selves!

Stephen loved Jesus and spoke truth’s that the world could not excuse or hide from, very much as the religious men of Israel denied their Messiah, because He did not meet their standard!

This is a warning to us, that we have to try to reach His standards, knowing that we will fail and that love is one of many elements that make up the character of the Godhead under grace?

Acts 7:1-8:1, Romans 3:25, 2 Corinthians 2:7, Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:13, 1 John 1:9.

We hope that you can enjoy the Christmas season, even if you are isolated and that you will have a peaceful New Year?

EVIL! Two.

World War-I/II+ We Remember?

There is much pride in the human heart to remember the fallen of past wars and conflicts and it would seem honorable to do so, but not was all right in these two world wars and all wars!

Men in fear were treated as cowards and shot and their families not compensated with a war pension, greed and spite came to the fore, those who refused on religious grounds were either killed or rejected by society?

Meanwhile the suffering of nerve gas, high-explosive ammunitions left men with terrible if not horrific wounds and in the 1939-45 war many nations refused the Jews prior to the Nazi-Holocaust while others avoided their rescue and Britain maintained similar prison conditions in the Middle-East until Winston Churchill got challenged by the events?

Wars have to be fought to save our systems of politics and at one time supposed Christian values, but this is a smoke screen to cover arms sales and the pride of royal families, madness of dictatorship and excuses for sin and they will continue until even the Day of Armageddon!

Genesis 44:4, Numbers 13:32, Job 19:19, 35:12, Psalm 78:68, Proverbs 24:1, Ecclesiastes 9:3, Jeremiah 31:3, Hosea 11:1, Matthew 5:11, Luke 7::47, John 3:14-18, 12:43, 13:34, 15:9, Romans 8:37, Ephesians 2:4, Revelation 16:16.

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.
