The continued Value of….

Preaching?

We tend in the west today to excuse the need to stand on a soap box and degrade our dignity on a street corner to tell dying society around us of the Good News of Jesus!

Christians have allowed the standards of the world to influence us and so in many places the faith is in decline? Some say it is different now with technology and the Internet, but one did not see much to qualify this during the pandemic in the British Isles so it is not true!

The world cannot see and does not want know, unless someone has the courage to speak and share Jesus and from this point to that of the pulpit, people need quality teaching and the altar call for people to believe that God loves them and gave to us His One and Only son, forgiving us of our pasts and promising to us the Eternal Life!

It is a simple message that needs to be got out and proclaimed by believers who will surrender all, not just the words of a hymn on a Sunday morning, but everyday?

Acts 2:26-31, 8:25, 14:6, 21, Romans 10:14, 1 Corinthians 15:1, 11, Galatians 4:13, Philippians 1:30, Colossians 1:23, 1 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 3:7, 15, 2 Peter 2:5, Revelation 1:9, 20:4.

HELL?

Who will be There?

The Holy Bible says all who have refused to believe and wicked cruel people! But that definition of sinners has changed today, because not all sin is sin, like loving children and same sex relationships?

Society and some elements of the Church have accepted sin on this one level, which does now justify the right to kill, steal, lie, be dishonest and disobey God! But this is not Gods way and we will have to give an account of our actions in this life!

Hope in God being fair is not good enough, because He has no favorites and what He says remains because we are believers we know that He does not change. There is a separation from God and it is well listed wither some leaders believe it or not in the Bible that not everyone is going to be in heaven!

Darkness, fires, unquenchable pain and all mentioned along with the bottomless pit and the torment of the Devil for Eternity! We cannot afford as leaders, evangelists and Pastors to ignore these facts and lead others in to a false sense of security when this is the reality of all who will be lost!

Deuteronomy 32:22, Psalm 55:15, Proverbs 27:20, Isaiah 28:15, Ezekiel 31:16, Matthew 23:33, Mark 9:43-48, Luke 16:22-23, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Ephesians 6:16, 2 Peter 2:4, Revelation 1:18, 21:8, 22:15.

Happy Easter?

Chocolates!

Nearly every holiday in the calendar is marked by chocolates of some description and Easter seems to be the height with the empty egg? It is no wonder that we have a diabetes crises with over weight and with many other inter related illnesses?

But the real message of this season has to do with the death of Jesus a perfect sinless man and His rising on the third day from the grave!

Why do we need Jesus in our lives and why do we need to be saved? Most people believe that they have some good in them and if they do the odd bit of kindness this is enough to make credit with God?

But it does not work like that and death is not the end, but rather the beginning of an Eternity in Hell with Satan or in Heaven with God! The decision has to be made here and now, we need to seek Him, confess and repent of our failures and find His forgiveness, believing by faith that He Jesus has taken our place on the cross and has risen or resurrected from the dead!

Luke 22:20, John 3:3, 14-21, Isaiah 1:18-19, 53:12, 1 Peter 3:18.
