Harvest Time!

From the window box to the plains?

When serving in the inner cities we tend not to see the point of having a harvest festival and yet many members have allotments, gardens, window boxes to sow a few fruit and vegetables so they can count the pennies?

On the other hand the countryside and the small ports have their respective catches of grains and fish and have something to give God the thanks for!

Not many today see a value of the harvest festival, since they associate it only with the material, but Jesus referred to the Spiritual side of all of our callings to witness our faith, share our testimony, speak and pray and then the Angels will reap fields that are white for souls for Eternity?

There are many ways to do these services, giving thanks, involving children, young people and older folks, talking about experience or just a plain service?

The use of the community is important in the role of the food bank and also in growing the wrong crops such as narcotics, showing people a right way and asking them to consider Jesus!

Genesis 8:22, Exodus 23:16, 2 Chronicles 32:28, Matthew 6:26, 13:30, Galatians 6:9, James 3:18.

Bearing the Name!

CHRISTIAN?

Are you afraid of the lions?

What a strange question to ask a believer in the death and resurrection of Jesus, who is our Lord and saviour?

Our redeemer and the one who is returning one day to gather us His Ekklesia to be taken up with Him!

Yesterday the media reported that two-hundred and fifty Christians are killed world wide each month, probably most of them are real believers over that of carrying the name tag that other religions have?

Today in our ever secular society believers are being attacked for believing the teachings of the Bible, which oppose many issues, moral, sexual and our integrity in business, leadership or management!

But many others in leadership are refusing to make a stand for the truth, because they fear these new lions!
