Satan is a Liar

Satan is a liar - Jesus calls him "the father of Lies". One of his greatest lies to the church (in England) over recent years is that you can not set up a toddlers club, an retired person's dinner club, an after school club etc that mentions Jesus. He tells us that relational evangelism is the only way to reach the lost - that encounter evangelism doesn't work any more. (Personally I believe both are effective - as long as in our relationship we don't forget to mention Jesus). Satan is implying that the Holy Spirit has lost His power to convict. Satan tells us that the Gospel is no longer "The power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes".

In contrast Jesus tells us that "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few."

Whose report do you believe? I believe the report of the Lord!

This is becoming prevalent over here too Neil.

The workers seem to be even fewer now-adays...if that is possible!

Yes, this is also quite true here in the Philippines.. Authorities form the state universities prohibits prayer that mentions the name of Jesus..

Where does the ability to love come from?

Perhaps a silly and too basic a question, but I wonder if you have sat and thought about the question: "Where does the ability to love come from?" There is a new film out about Charles Darwin's life and of course his theory of evolution. The theory (and that is all it is!) describes a dog eat dog existence - where only the fittest survive. In all this the theory fails to address the existence of love. I'm thinking about the type of sacrifical love that we see clearly in the life of Jesus Christ. The type of love that on a good day we might manage to emulate. The Bible of course is absolutely clear about the source of love. Dear friends (says John) let us love one another, for love comes from God. And more clearly goes on to say: God is love! In the New Testament there are 3 words for love: Philia (family loyalty) Eros: (physical intimate love) And Agape: (sacrificial, life transforming, Christ like love) All these are gift from God but it is the th

Hedonist in the Making

Image
The other day I saw a young girl (about 6 yrs old) wearing a t-shirt that proclaimed: "It's all about me ME ME!" This young girl is a hedonist in the making. Little does she know of the prison she is building for herself. Little does she know of Satan and his cohorts who are all too willing to help her. The basic idea behind hedonistic thought is that pleasure is the only thing that is good for a person. Hedonism can be conjoined with psychological egoism - where people are motivated only by their self interest. Isaiah observed this attitude in Israel: "Let us eat drink (and be merry)" you say, "for tomorrow we die!" How sad that there is a real potential for this child to finish up like this:- All this only reinforces the importance (and high calling!) of children's outreach in the church. It was Bill Wilson of Metro Ministries and founder of Kidz Klub that said: "It iseasier to build boys and girls then to repair men and women" . How

A Bible Believing Repentance Seeking Evangelising Arch-Bishop

Image
John Sentamu is a Bible believing Arch-Bishop with tremendous gifts in evangelism. From past experience I know that he preaches the need for repentance and I was pleased to read that last week hundreds of people committed their lives to Jesus Christ following an invitation by the Archbishop of York at the Church Without Walls National Gathering in Scotland. John Sentamu said, "The National Gathering was a tremendous event. I was thrilled and excited to see so many people come forward and commit their lives to Jesus Christ." We need to pray for him and his work. When John came into office a couple of years ago now, he said that his mission was to give the church the confidence back to evangelize this nation. He is doing a good job!
