I choose life. (2 Corinthians 2 v 14 - 16 )

Recently a lady got lost in a jungle for two weeks,she was thankfully rescued,speaking about her ordeal,she said ,that she had a choice between life and death,she choose life.Life is about making choice's  ,consider how many choice's we make every day,it would be interesting to count them.They are endless,let me point something out to you, when I preach the gospel I want people to make a choice.If you are not a Christian I pray that you will make a choice and trust Jesus as your Saviour.    Deuteronomy 30 v 19.  'This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses .Now choose life'                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Counterfeit ( Matthew 7 v 24 - 29 )

I was talking to a lady and I complimented  her lovely hair, yet it turned out that she was wearing a wig. It was not the real thing, not the genuine article.Are we the genuine article as regards our Christianity?,we might do all the right things, and have never been born again. In the Gospel of John a very religious person was told that he needed to be born again  ,if not then heaven would not  be his   destiny. People have delusional thoughts,I know a person who believed he was Jesus Christ , of course He was not,  but no amount of talking changed his delusion.  In Matthew 7 v 21 - 23 Jesus said, ''Not everyone who says to me Lord,Lord, will enter the Kingdom of heaven  , but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord.did we not  prophesy in your name, and in  your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?. Then I will tell them plainly, I never knew you. Depart from me, you evil doers'.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Praying .( Philippians 4 v 6 )

One of my favourite birds is a robin ,I don't have any visits from a robin in my garden,well until recently when one came twice. Why did it visit my garden?,well I remember that I did pray that I may have a robin come to my garden, and so it came to pass. Never underestimate the power of prayer even for simple things. Ask and you shall receive,is that to simple?.,the answer is no,the fact is we can pray about anything,if it is His will He will answer.and we can pray  anywhere,just have a reverent attitude, and faith

Gods moral law. ( Galatians 3 v 19 - 25 )

A very important thing to remember that we live in a moral universe,and it is the one who made this  universe who says what those moral values should be. While we may keep the laws of ones government,don't break the speed limit, don't drink and drive,don't steal.etc. . Yet as regards laws in our countries they can change, and often do, being a homosexual was a criminal offence, not now. Adultery was grounds for a divorce at one time, not now, when it comes to divorce,there will be no fault finding actions taken into consideration. Slowly but surely things are changing,but when it comes to Gods moral values,they will never, never change. Gods law still stands,not as a means of salvation, (Galatians 3 v 11) but as a very important reminder that no one can keep God's law perfectly. Make no mistake ,we all have broken Gods law,in thought and deed,this means we re sinners,all of us without exception. It means that we can never enter Heaven,unless that sin is forgiven by trusting Jesus,when we do all can be forgiven.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The soul that sinneth,it must die, in response                                                                                             to this an old Puritan wrote,'' Glorious God,                                                                                             I saw thy Son  dying that I might live, and                                                                                               in that death I found my all''

Normal ( 1 Corinthians 1 v 20 - 25 )

We want people to think we are normal,as  Christians, but the fact is we are not normal, we do not live for this life alone.What we believe is contrary to those who are not Christians,we believe that all mankind are sinners,and if a person  dies  with their sins  unforgiven they go to hell,there are no exceptions ,none. We believe there is only one way to God, Jesus,that all other religions are in error and cannot save. We believe that we are called to be holy, we cannot go along with the changing moral standards of the world.Of course all this and many other things sets us apart from what the world considers normal,we live in the light of eternity,not just for the here and now.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Two roads                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Enter trough the narrow gate, for wide is the gate                                                                                    and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and                                                                                  many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow,                                                                                                                                             

Saved. ( Romans 10 v 13 )

A young prostitute was bundled into a car,by a man, he forced her to lie down,as he drove the car ,the young girl fearing for her life,prayed. Her prayer went something like this, 'Jesus save me,and I will give my life to you'. Well the next thing she knew the car crashed,and the man was slumped over the   wheel,unconscious,this enabled her to escape. She later attended a church,where the gospel was preached,and a appeal was given to trust  Jesus as one's Saviour, she thought well He kept his  bargain ,I am going to keep mine,so she went forward and trusted Him.And from that moment on she followed and served the Lord. Christ is still in the business of saving people, why don't you trust  Him                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Psalm 34 v 6                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     This poor man called,and the Lord heard                                                                                                   heard him; He saved him out of all his                                                                                                     troubles.
