Watchmen

There was a guy from the United States America at my Church last week speaking about the dangers of Christian Television. He was focusing on the exponents of the ‘Health & Wealth movement’ and exposing the grave dangers of being sucked in by their lethal doctrines. This was a message close to my own heart and in fact it was something I blogged about during the summer entitled ‘Charlatans’. The speaker was a Mr Justin Peters from Mississippi, check out his website www.justinpeters.org

Justin was in Northern Ireland as the guest of Mr Cecil Andrews of ‘Take Heed Ministries’. Cecil is a ‘watchman’ indeed and has an excellent ministry exposing the cults and false doctrines that are flooding the church. Check out Cecil’s website also www.takeheed.net

Thank God for watchmen! Pray for them in these days.

BBC Bias

I was looking at the BBC website at lunch time today to see what the News headlines were and was once again confronted with the image of Charles Darwin on their homepage. It seems to be that they can dream up whatever excuse they can find to make a programme about Mr Darwin. The reason given today is the 150 anniversary of the publishing of the ‘Origin of the Species’. A few months ago they had a programme to mark either his birth or death (not sure which it was). I suppose we will have a programme about him to mark his wedding anniversary next.

It is a pity someone at the BBC would not commission a programme to mark that other significant event in 1859, the religious awakening in Ulster.

The BBC continually pumps evolutionary propaganda down the throats of the British viewing and listening public. Every Science article is preceded with the words ‘so many millions of years ago such and such happened’. Hold on a minute, were you there Mr BBC editor? Let us not forget that evolution is only a theory and a very weak one at that. They should be more honest and say ‘some scientist believe that so many millions of years ago…etc’.

Sad to say the bosses at the BBC have sucked in the lie that there is no God and we are all here by accident. Does creation itself not teach the opposite. They should remember the words of the Psalmist.

‘The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.’ Psalm 53 v1

Mr Darwin did say something of intelligence once, he said 'to suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection seems I freely confess absurd to the highest degree'. Having said that how could he go on to extract God from creation? For the same reason they all do, they don't want a God to be accountable to. Richard Dawkins admitted that he 'cannot allow a divine foot in the door'.

They should read again the opening verse of Genesis!

‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.’ Genesis 1 v1

I did'nt know you there!!

I was talking to a friend the other day who had been at a high school reunion. He told me that he had bumped into people that night that he had not set eyes on for over 20 years. He said that he was shocked how he didn't even recognise some of them anymore.

This got me thinking. As a Christian I have the greatest friend imaginable in the Lord Jesus Christ. I talk to Him every day in prayer and He talks to me through His Word the Bible.

Sad to say there are many Christians who never talk to the Lord and never read His Word. I wonder if they bumped into Him on the road of life would they recognise Him. Sometimes even Christians who are talking to the Lord don't recognise Him because they are too busy looking at the difficult circumstances of life. Mary was a bit like that in the garden on the morning of the Resurrection, she mistook her Saviour for the gardener until he called her by name. Praise God, if we are saved He knows our names.

'I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.' John 10 v14

PREACHING STILL WORKS!!!

'For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.' 1st Corinthians Chap 1 v 18


The 21st Century Contemporary Church would do well to rediscover the truth of the above text. What might seem foolish to man is God's ordained method of reaching the lost.


I was at a youth meeting in my own assembly last night where a young woman trusted the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation after listening to clear and faithful Biblical preaching. Glory to God, preaching Still Works! Praise His wonderful name.


You can keep you seeker sensitive programmes, you can keep your topical talks, you can keep your repetitive 'so called' worship. Give me the Preaching of the Cross any day.


'The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.' Psalm 126 v 3

Thank you Lord!
