The Value of Preaching? Two.

The Altar Call?

At one time this was the essential of leading those who were ready to repent to faith in Jesus, despite the terminology it remained an effective tool in Evangelism to lead to the lost to Jesus!

The preaching of Jesus death and resurrection remains essential today in ever increasing hostile and anti-Christian world! Our societies are in a state of moral collapse and the world is justifying sin, since it sees the Church doing the same!

An active Church is one that is preaching and reaching, while also comforting and helping the needy of the believers conscience rather than some far flung government scheme! Prayer must not be used as an excuse not to talk to people and share our faith with them?

Colossians 2:12,   1 Timothy 2:1-7,  2 Peter 1:8,    Revelation 1:4,   11,  20.

Carnivals?

Notting Hill, Reading, Glastonbury!

The justification of sin or just having a good time?

Cultures are different, something that should be considered by all believers in the statement made by the Gospel of John’ For God so loved the World! Controversial  because it addresses humanities failure on race and so to Ekklesia that carries the un-repented problem of being in the community of all the same?

We can claim that next weekend will see a rise in crime in W-London with the annual west-Indian/Caribbean street party and much will be reported and addressed in relation to all the negatives of it?

But neither Glastonbury or Reading will receive the same fare reporting of its drug abuse and violent cultures and this is because it will be majority white and civilised over that of black and dark skinned?
