Lack of Preaching!

Fear?

Is it fear of the laws of the lands, or is it being lazy and hoping our gracious God will do it for us, as we lounge about hoping for that great revival to come?

Has prayer replaced preaching or is it seen as old fashioned and like many things in modern society old and not of any value?

God does not change, only we do and this has been foretold in the New Testament that people will grow cold, that truth is no excuse to stop, since many still want to hear and many will claim on the day of Judgement that they never heard.

John 3:3, 14-18, Romans 10:17, 1 Timothy 4:1-2, Hebrews 9:26, 10:10, Revelation 3:20.

Satan and the Devil. Three.

Halloween spooky Fun?

All Hallows is perhaps one of the most important lessons in the Church in relation to showing children and young people that the light of Jesus has victory over darkness, it also helps to show them good from wrong!

But the problem lays with us believers, since many today do not believe in the Devil, seeing him as a mythical or fun creature with hors, a tail between his leg and a pitch fork?

But we who have been attacked, who suffer intimidation, threats or many kinds from criminal gangs on estates, know better and really need to have a daily assurance from time to time that God is still there to hear us and help us!

Jesus came to save sinners, to save those in darkness, those in sexual deviancy, crime, prison and slavery, Halloween is a great opportunity not to be missed but used to cut crime and much more dishonesty in our community with village, stick or town!

Isaiah 42:7, 16, Matthew 6:13, Luke 1:79, John 8:12, 9:5, 12:46, 2 Thessalonians 3:13, 1 Peter 3:17, 2 Peter 1:19, Revelation 22:11.

Israel and Jerusalem!

Right to Exist?

If we are believers in the death, resurrection and return of Jesus, we cannot escape the facts about Israel and its Eternal capital Jerusalem? Despite the introduction and the long term acceptance of Replacement Theology in the Christian Church, we still find some passages about Jerusalem and Israel do not fit in to the Christian way?

This is because they are not for the blessings of believers but for Israel alone! God has a plan for His people Israel that is far different than that of the Church, this is a fact that must be recognised for us to really understand the bible!

If we persist with the ideas set out by Replacement Theology we will be lead astray into the many forms of false teaching and doctrines that are being introduced today! The capital of Israel is Jerusalem and when the Lord returns there will be a New Jerusalem for the believers by faith!

John 3:3, 15-17, 31-36, Romans 3:22-23, 6:22-24.
