The interpretation of Words!

Woke and revisionism in the Hebrew and Greek Text Translated?

This is as much a danger if not more so than that of replacement theology, which has racked Ekklesia for over 400 years in the Protestant reformation from Europe to America and much further afield in the 19th Century?

What we accept as to be firm or solid is now being interpreted in an alternative way and this is basically to justify homosexuality and transgender and to make out that what God said was misunderstood by the times, forgetting our own times too!

It is a tough area to deal with since many who profess a faith are now open to these false teachings, because of the fear of man, the laws of the land, comforts and not wanting to be persecuted, which eventually because of indifference will come to them anyway?

Luke 10:29-37, John 5:47, 1 Corinthians 1:17, 2 Timothy 3:10-16.

Pitfalls of Faith!

Roots of Bitterness?

None of us is exempt from falling from grace, hurt and disasters come and they will tear us down and lead to the tears of the heart, but we are warned not to let the bitterness of of it get a root on to us and if so we will loose our Salvation!

God does not give up on us, but it is rather we who do that for many reasons from comfort to dishonesty, that we think we are fine, when we are not?

The Holy Bible has much to tell us in relation to not being complacent and how to get back on track with our personal Savior the Lord Jesus!

Proverbs 14:10, Luke 8:13, Romans 11:16-18, 1 Timothy 6:10, Hebrews 12:15.

Christmas Approaches!

A really busy time for Ekklesia?

Each one of us has the challenge of pulling something new out of the story that by tradition seems to be fixed and at that it in its own right is a tremendous one, but there are many part to it that can be added depending on who one is preaching too?

When we look at this story we are seeing the fulfilment of Jewish history and we know that in that brief time of some thirty four years, his own people rejected Him, but since thirty three AD the way and the Ekklesia just keeps on growing and spreading out and now we live in an age that allows us to see it recovering older areas that have died lack to keep sharing Jesus?

Christmas is also a time when we see the dregs of society, the self-opinionated and the good people come to fellowship with us for plethora of reasons, sometimes guilt, other memory of childhood, others just like the atmosphere without the reality and others still in despair of life?

Numbers 24:17, Matthew 2:2, 9-10, 2 Peter 1:19.

Mark 16! Part-Two.

Great Spiritual powers Displayed?

Many Christians today have grown dismissive of the impossible, of the power of healing and many other areas that seem to be very controversial when related to the work of the Holy Spirit within the believer!

Many are to comfortable in the Bible lesson preaching and not active in evangelism or sharing their faith, some of us have become lazy believing once we are saved we will just hang around in Church until Heaven?

These verses reveal the power of God at work in all believers who are open to serve Him and shows us that we are a protected people!

Yes we will suffer at times and be rejected by a hostile world that ridicules all that challenges its desire for sin and dishonesty, but in these last words in the gospel of Mark we are commissioned to go into community, work, family and share what God, what Jesus has and is and will be doing for us?

Mark 16:9-20, (17-18), Acts 28:3-5, 1 Corinthians 12:9, 28-30, James 3:8, Revelation 22:2.

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!

Acts 5:41, 11:26, 26:28, 1 Peter 4:16.
