Christian despair & Depression!

‘Not a bed of Roses?

The statement, ‘It is hard to be a believer, should not be under estimated, since many of us who are now long in the faith now the pain and costs that are involved as we progress in that race that the Apostle Paul encourages us with!

Ekklesia has much to answer to when it comes to depression, mental-illness and despair amongst believers? What was at one time referred to for missionaries is now widespread in the body, since many of us live in pluralistic societies that are hostile to Christians?

Nothing much has changed from the times of the pagan world of the early followers of the way to modern times, the world has turned back to the worship of nature and abandoned the God of the Holy Bible and many believers are starting to fall away, as we are told is to happen!

But we have a God who loves us and His son Jesus who died for us, we must run to Him and trust to endure and to press on? It is indeed very hard, but the price for us is too great to know give up or let go? Let us encourage one and another and help, pray, financials and a roof?

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?
