Original Confidence!

Staying the Course?

Not all who come to faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus stay the course, fear of man, tiredness, trials cost and burn out many that is why Jesus told us about the sower and the seeds in His Gospel parables!

But if we fail, we should repent and seek our Lords forgiveness, since our destiny is not a good destination and there is no return after death?

God wants us to be both wise and honest and press on knowing in whom we have believed and that He will never fail or leave us and we will make it home, one day to be with Him for evermore!

Proverbs 13:11-14, Malachi 4:1, Hebrews 3:12-15, Revelation 17:7.

The Prodigal Son! Three.

Jealousy?

Infuriation might be a better word for the son who worked away and did not flout his fathers inheritance!

But like many Christians today in Ekklesia they miss the point when a prostitute or a big time criminal gets saved, it makes the place, reputation of good living look dirty?

Because their hearts were blinded to God’s love and mercy on the lost, just as this father took back his son and so we have a powerful evangelism tool with Luke 15 that can be applied in the community and worldwide today?

As believers we are always now with our father who through the good works of Jesus has bought us with blood and when we see the uncomfortable coming in let us rejoice for God has brought another home!

Luke 15:11-32, Romans 15:9-13, Ephesians 2:1-10.

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.
