BEING HARD OF HEARING

DURING THIS LAST WEEK there has been much speaking, and our latest Motivational Speaker has encouraged Kenyans, and indeed all citizens of Africa TO SPEAK UP, AND MAKE THEMSELVES HEARD.
Nothing wrong with that.   Freedom of speech and even thought is the basic ingredient of a sound Democracy.      But it does not always bring agreement, and indeed not everyone or everything propounded in a National Forum has to be right.


PRESIDENT OBAMA seems to want everyone to agree with him - or at least to take good notice of what he says, not just as the President of the U.S.A but as a 'son of Kenya' - as if he knows better than any other what we should do, and how we should behave.      I do not wish to belittle all that he has said, but he said it without reference to God, and therefore perhaps lacked the Wisdom of God in many places.   I can agree wholeheartedly with his hatred of 'discrimination' in any form.    He has, as he rightly stated, fair experience of the damage and hurt discrimination can produce - just from living in America!    But to a degree, on this visit, Mr. Obama seemed to be some kind of 'ambassador' for the Gay Fraternity, and once or twice made powerful representation towards a change of heart in Kenya's current attitude to Homosexuality in any form.    
We have seen in the press how our Vice President, Mr. William Ruto, expressed himself toward the U.S.A when he is reported as saying - 'We have heard in the U.S. that they have allowed homosexuality and other dirty things...'    This was a very frank statement of how he feels, himself, about such things, and perhaps even about the government that gives support to such activity.
Mr.Obama has said that he believes everyone should be treated and respected equally - including when it comes to those of a different sexual orientation (including gays, lesbians and transgender people.    He said 'no African state should discriminate over sexuality.'
But what does he mean by 'discrimination'?

Kenyan Law does not permit sexual activity between men; it is illegal and punishable with a   maximum imprisonment of 14 years.       Mr. Obama feels that individuals should  be free to choose their sexual partners and other activities.     He feels they should not be treated as criminals or abnormal.    He says they are doing no harm to anyone.      But this is very close to saying that all men and women should be free to choose and carry on their own life style without rebuke.      We are unique and have the power to choose for ourselves as if we are gods!     Does Mr. Obama have any moral parameters in which he can positively decry certain human behaviour, and even agree to measures being brought into Law that might discourage such behaviour?     For example is he willing to turn a blind eye to the habitual Rapist, thief, or drunkard?    Surely not!   Then why is he so concerned about the Gay Community?    He must be of the opinion that their lifestyle is not harmful in any way, and can be happily encouraged and accepted.  BUT this notion is not upheld by the Bible, nor by common practise.      We are told that those who practice such things hurt their own soul; they hurt their flesh by encouraging sickness, and hurt their mental and psychological well being as well. It may not be everyone's choice, but it can be put up with says Mr. Obama.
In taking this stance we have to believe that the President is ungodly!     He has no understanding of the mind or Will of God, and disregards the general Teaching of most of Religion's Holy Books, including The Bible, The Koran, and the Vedas.      To root for a change in the purpose and pattern of sexual relations, and in Matrimony as laid down and understood religiously is to divest oneself of the knowledge of GOD altogether.

LEVITICUS 18V6-27 is unpopular with homosexuals.    But the Bible upholds this teaching and the idea expressed all the way through the Old and NEW Testaments.      One Bible Commentator, a well known and respected theologian, commenting on these verses says - 'Seven abominations or wicked actions are listed here.    1.  Having sexual relations with close relatives.     2.  Committing adultery.
3.   offering children as sacrifices.    4.   Having homosexual relations, and  5.   Having sexual relations with animals.     These practices were common in pagan religions and cultures, and it is easy to see why God dealt harshly with those who began to follow them.   Such Practices lead to disease, deformity, and death.   They disrupt family life and society, and reveal a low regard for the value of oneself and others.      Society today takes some of these practices lightly, even trying to make the acceptable.   But the are still sins in God's eyes.   If you consider them acceptable, then you are not judging by God's Standards.'

Our Kenyan President, Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta stated, during the week that 'Gay Rights are a No Go area, and that there are important matters to focus upon.'
On the other hand our Vice President, Mr. William Ruto has opposed Gay Rights, and has stated that 'No amount of persuasion will influence the country stand on the issue.'

When it comes to our LEADERS, it is often good to understand where their Leadership is coming from, and what it is founded upon.      One can see the distinct possibility of a world, left to continue the way it is going, will become a world without God - and world hi-jacked by Man at the instigation of the Devil.      And if this should come to be, then Man will no longer be in the image (like) God, and all his actions, appetites and ambitions will be uninspired by God.     And the horror of this is that generally there are only very few who can SEE what is happening, and what the end will be.

The argument for GAYS, as with the argument for any other ungodly act or practice, cannot be APPROVED by God.     Those who DO approve such argument, do so from a world view that is without God, unpleasing to God.     Shall we be content to be LED by those without true Wisdom and Understanding; by men and women without a God inspired Conscience?   Men and Women disabled by sin in their lives clouding their judgment and impairing their spiritual vision.     Shall WE approve them like sheep going to the slaughter?

It is easy to understand how that a Man might come upon the world scene, acclaimed, and clamoured for, as an idol, who could lead ALL the people of the world astray - not just Kenyans.
A Man like President Obama - or someone very much like him.     A Man such as the Anti-Christ, the Man of Sin, the son of perdition!

BE WATCHFUL -  BE READY TO SPEAK UP, TO WARN, TO DO ALL YOU CAN TO BE LIGHT IN DARKNESS, AND SALT IN A TASTELESS WORLD SOCIETY.     Do NOT discriminate, but do not make allowances for what is clearly WRONG around you.   EXPOSE it,  and in love and mercy seek render it harmless, taking care that you yourselves are not infected by it, to your own damage and hurt.
CONSIDER the words of Ephesians 5v1-19.    Read them through quietly to yourself, and let them speak to you, to your current life and estate.     Let them move you to action in the here and NOW.

God Bless you all.



NOTE - I must apologise in last week's edition for stating so surely that Mr. Lee had indeed given birth.    The fact is I have not been able to ascertain with certainty that did!     IF he did give birth then all I said must stand.      If he did NOT, then I thank God for His Mercy, and pray that in some way Mr. Lee might profit spiritually enough to catch sight of Jesus.   But men continue to put the matter to the test, and even now some are carrying a child in different places, pushing against the tide of nature and God's Will.

MAN OF THE YEAR

READING IN THE BIBLE'S Book of Jeremiah recently, I found myself reading chapter 30 verse 6 where God says -

'Ask now and see

whether a man can give birth to a child?

God is pointing out that it is not practical, (it is against the way Man is designed and put together, for him to give birth to a child), at least without help;   it is against Nature, and against all the proper use of a man!     Against all known social usage to the very beginning of human kind.   It might be possible good news to the Same Sex Marriage, and the Gay Fraternity in general though.

In the next verse God seems to be looking into the future and seeing men apparently looking and behaving as if they were pregnant!       The Media reported last year, 2014, that 54 men in Australia had given birth!!    The Media noted that most of them were transgender men who had kept their female equipment needed to give birth to a child..... Still sounds abnormal doesn't it?     And Mr. Lee Mingwei, at least, is NOT a transgender, but an Artist.   (photo right above).   Research and even medical proceedings started long ago in Europe in order to help men give birth.   Only NOW are we beginning to see the FACT coming into view and the practicality of it, caused by more and more relaxation of moral and ethical standards.

GOD certainly gave the impression that it was not something He or any person would expect or accept considering the general rules and principles of Biology.  And we know that the Bible reveals God's plan was  for 'One Man and One Woman'.   He did not take more than one rib from Adam, and from that one rib make more than ONE woman.      Any other arrangement or union was (and IS) to God abnormal; as abnormal as Homosexuality and as abnormal for a man or woman to change their sex.   BUT He knew the day would come when all of this would be more and more accepted and excused.   He said of it in verse 7 -

ALAS!  for that day will be great,

so that none will be like it;

it will be the time of Jacob's unequaled trouble....

but he will be saved out of it

A Time when mankind will lose interest in religion - in god - and especially in JESUS Christ.

A time when men will even question the need for God in their lives, and when, because of this, BECAUSE of not keeping God in Mind, God will give them up.    Look at Romans 1 v26 - 28 (Amplified Bible)

Because humanity will turn from God ..

God will give them over and abandon them to vile affections 

and degrading passions.

For their women exchanged their natural function

for an unnatural and abnormal one.

And the men also turned from natural relations with women 

and were set ablaze (burning and consumed) with lust for one another.

Men committing shameful acts with men

and suffering in their own bodies and personalities

the inevitable consequences and penalties

of their wrong doing and going astray, which was

their fitting retribution.

AND SO

since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him,

or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base and condemned mind, to do things not proper or decent,

but loathsome.

************************ 

THERE IS NO DOUBT in my own mind that God, speaking through Jeremiah, was looking into the Latter Days, just as Jesus was, when Matthew recorded His words in the Gospel of Matthew 24, and as Luke did in his Gospel chapter 21.    Mankind has become embarked on a society akin to that of Sodom and Gomorrah so that we can surely identify that the LAST DAYS are well on the way to a conclusion, both fearsome and inevitable.       In verse 23-24 of Jeremiah chapter 30, it is written -

BEHOLD the tempest of the LORD has gone forth with wrath;

a sweeping and gathering tempest;

it shall whirl and burst upon the heads of the wicked

,

The fierce anger and indignation of the LORD

shall not turn back until He has executed and accomplished

the thoughts and intents of His mind and heart.

IN THE LATTER DAYS

you shall understand this.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE the society you live in?     YOU live in the Latter - the LAST - days; days in which only the very dregs of our moral integrity, revealed and confirmed in and through Jesus Christ, and which have influenced the Christian World and indeed all the world, for more than two thousand years, actually remain intact.     TODAY the world is turning more and more from EVERY regard for God, and His Will.

We have turned, instead,  to Humanism, making our own opinion and understanding MORE than God until we have become well on the way to forgetting What and Who we were created to be by the Creator; questioning even the existence of that Creator.        What will we have become in the NEXT fifty years?    Will we still know ourselves to be even human in mind let alone likeness to God?   Yes, and if we have eyes and intelligence we should be able to see clearly where things stand in our world society and philosophy.        Relatively a GODLESS world society without respect for God, His Principles and Rules for Life, where His Voice is unheeded, unheard, and un-recognised.

MANY are declaring that this is the Society they prefer - Free, and open with an un-prescribed lifestyle.      But the Bible and History teach us there is an ETERNAL price to pay for rejecting God's revealed LAW for man to live by.     We rebel against it at our peril.      By seeming to turn around God's Order of things in no way proves He Himself is a myth, and that his Commandments and the Nature of Things laid down can no be ignored, or changed.     By arranging for a man, who is not designed for it,  to be pregnant and to give birth to a child - the recognised expectation of a WOMAN - in no way makes it RIGHT or PROPER, and adds no weight to the argument in respect of God, or The Word of God contained in the BIBLE, and in the Life and Example of Jesus Christ.     There is no other Way and no other 'God', and no other way toward Eternal Life that can perfectly be engineered by wayward Man.      Without GOD, as manifest in His Word, and in Christ, Man will never attain the Peace of Mind he needs, or the abolition of Sin that even now controls our world.

Is that your opinion John?

Yes it is.     I am no scholar or noted theologian, just an ordinary man.    A common man feeling his way through life, and coming to terms with himself and life around him through the tuition of the Holy Spirit.    The Holy Spirit is given to EVERY human being to lead and guide him; to be his light in darkness; to be his conscience.     I may be easily disregarded, and yet I am not persuaded by myself of the Truth I seek to share.     I have not found 'The God Particle'   I have found God; that He is real and that He exists, and that His Word is Truth indeed.    Beware oh Earth, and all those who live on Earth and are willing to aquiesce with whatever Godless ideas are presented to them.    God will not always be mocked, or allow things to go uncorrected.     We should be warned, those of us who are Watching, and who are called to Watch and Pray.

OWNING WHO WE TRULY ARE

Whatever did happen to the Queen of Sheba?

____________________________________   

SOMETIME in Febuary/March  of 2002A.D. a woman calling herself the Queen of Sheba was found to be in Nairobi, and according to the facts published in the Daily Nation of the time, she was not finally found to be what she seemed to be. The real surprise is that anyone should have thought that she was who she claimed to be.     She booked into The Grand Regency Hotel, the most prestigious hotel in Nairobi, and they seem to have been completely taken in - to the extent of letting her have Three point four million Kenyan Shillings credit facilities before finally asking her to leave!       Various photos are available of this woman, whose REAL name is Debra Amelia Kasambura nee George!     Some show her wearing a crown, and others in ordinary clothes.   She will now, a guess, be in her sixties.   One such photo is to the left.
She arrived at the doors of the Grand Regency with her encouraged and announcing herself to be Queen Shebah 111 of the Nubian Kingdom.       The Managers of the Hotel seemed to be unaware that there is no such Kingdom, therefore no such 'queen'.    But she looked rich enough for the part, and reported that she was in Kenya to negotiate a deal with the Kenyan Government involving something like Fifteen Billion Kenyan Shillings.     She was shown to the Presidential Suite, the finest in the Hotel, and she even managed to fix an appointment to see President Moi!!!
There seems no evidence that she ever shelled out a cent of the 'promise' of 15 Billions of Aid, but she managed to run up the bill (as mentioned before) of more than Three point four Million Kenya Shillings whilst staying at Grand Regency!   No doubt extended credit given on miss-placed faith!  I
found the whole incidence more than AMAZING, not that someone might actually try such a con, but that all those concerned were TAKEN IN by her.
I wonder if I could get away with it?     Probably not,      Debra Kasambura DID.   She must have been quite persuasive.     Perhaps if she had said she was Queen Jezebel they may have been a bit more suspicious.   Very curious the whole things.    After all there are not so many Queens about that one might be mistaken for one of them.    A princess..? Perhaps.     Anyway there she was bejewelled, over-painted, and enveloped in furs, announcing her royal status and financial allurements.     And so everyone just came running to role out the 'red carpet', and to offer the best they had of everything; and the Press and the Media all rushed to publicise, and in a way give credence to this Queen of Sheba, as they called her.     WOW!   And no one even asked her for an I.D., OR to actually SEE the colour of her money.     How easy for Immigration and Authority to  just accept her without seeking any proof or confirmation - just because she looked, dressed and 'seemed' inordinately RICH!

TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO the elite of Jewish society said that Jesus was an impostor.and a 'phony'     HE said that He was GOD!    The King of Jews!    How could anyone believe such a thing?
This travel stained, untidy carpenter from Nazareth, fruit of a premarital relationship - how could HE be God?    The idea was preposterous to THESE rich, well educated men.     But the POOR believed in Him.
But no. those that mattered in society rejected Him,     To them it could not be accepted.   Oh yes, He was supposed to be able to heal the sick, and raise the dead; make the blind to see and the deaf to hear - but just LOOK at Him.    What was he really - just an unemployed illegitimate carpenter.  He was surely just a Trickster, a Quack, an Illusionist....... AWAY WITH HIM.     They said of Him 'Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses, and Juda and Simon?  And are not his sisters here with us?   And they were offended at him'  Mark 6v3    But the POOR did believe in Him; those who had no reason to look to Him for wealth or material aid.     Yet it was the poor that proclaimed Him to be God, The Messiah, the Son of God.      And Jesus was not 'pretending' to be anyone or anything; He merely told the TRUTH - He had no reason to pretend about himself.   The Truth will always out (be revealed) we are told, and the Truth about Jesus, and Who He was, just came out wherever He went.      The sorry thing about it all was that those who were so quick to believe, finally followed those who did not, perhaps our of fear of their Leaders, or the Roman Government, or simply because Jesus did not become the LEADER they were looking for.   They rejected the Truth, and trampled it under foot.
In Matthew 16v15 we find Jesus ASKING the Disciples who they thought he really was.    Earlier He had asked them what people were saying about Him, and who they thought He was.  Some of the people thought he was John the Baptist back from the dear; others that he was Elijah the Prophet, and still others said he was Jeremiah.    The Disciples now are being asked who THEY thought He was, and Peter, answering on their behalf said - 'You are the Christ the Son of the Living God'    HOW did Peter get this into his head?   He knew intuitively by the Holy Spirit.      They did not need to see his credential or even to witness the miracles.    The Disciples all  'felt' the truth within themselves.   JESUS himself acknowledge this when He said - ' Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven'  - Ad it is on this spiritual conviction from the Father that I will build My Church.'

Poor old Sheba, rolling expensively into The Grand Regency,  was certainly not recognised for who SHE truly was, behind the cosmetic, and under the heair-do.   NO. there was no ritual discernment there, and she was just accepted at face value, as someone she was not!  We should also learn to look further than the outward appearance if we are not taken in or made to miss the truth about a person.
Even Samuel the Prophet was led astray in his own judgement when seeking who might be God's Choice as Israel's new King.    1.Samuel 16v1-13.    God sent him the Jesse's family of good looking, physically attractive, and well put together sons, who were all paraded in front of him.   Any one them seemed right to Samuel - but not to God   None of those paraded by Jesse was God's Chosen One.
The one forgotten and left out, the youngest, a keeper of sheep, the most UNLIKELY was the One.  It was young David, looked down upon by his elder brother who was to be the GIANT KILLER and the future King of Israel.  And the LORD said - 'The Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart'       We need to think about that. brothers and sisters.    ' Not everything that glitters is of gold.'    Perhaps that is why so few see the GOLD that there is in Jesus.   Indeed He is more precious than pure Gold in unlimited quantity    But for the most part He is passed by, noticed only for a moment like a street musician or a quack doctor offering a miracle cure.    People take a quick look and see nothing to impress, just another guru, just another freak from the busy, or madman raving about nothing at all, and turn away to what seems to give hope of more immediate gain and profit.     THEY miss the KING.   They have missed God Himself as surely as the Innkeeper slammed the Inn door in the face of Joseph and Mary seeing their poverty and inability to materially enrich him.     JESUS came to give us immortality, everlasting health, and joy.   Yet the majority finally turned away, mocking Him and His offer, depriving themselves of the GREATEST WEALTH imaginable, materially, physically and spiritually.  INSTEAD, even today, they flock to the con men and women; the Queen of Shebahs of this world, only to be ripped off and left with nothing.
Why is mankind so dumb, so easily led astray, so easily duped?   After gawping, bowing, and scraping after the good will of this 'Caribean" Queen (she was born in the West Indies), the owners of the Regency Hotel become 3.4 million shillings poorer, and made the laughing stock of all.   Another person lost another half million shillings in paying her Bail promised against her Safe Custody.  ALL LOSERS because they went after glitter and glamour, instead of listening to the Good Sense God has planted in every man and woman.        Why do people not BELIEVE IN JESUS that Man of Calvary, a common Carpenter within whom GOD lived and died for all Mankind.    HE is the King of the UNIVERSE    If you embrace HIM, if you kneel before Him, and worship Him, you will never b e ashamed, you will never find yourself the LOSER.     Beneath carpenters garment are the Robes of Celestial Majesty,   Le the King of Glory in to your lives, and shut that LIAR and con-man of the universe - SATAN, out.     ONLY those who do this will Rule with Christ with Him over all the Universe.      Do not be DECEIVED.     Take great heed to yourselves.     Let your own Conscience that God has given to us all, confirm the TRUTH to us always.

JESUS when made in the likeness of men

humbled Himself to the death f the cross;

No reputation belonged to Him then; 

emptying Himself, He esteemed it no loss.

The Name that through ages to come shall our-ring;

 Jesus the Lamb, Who for sinners was slain.

SOON to this Earth He is coming as King,

Coming in power and in glory to reign,

Far above all; far above all.

God has exalted Him, far above all.

Crown Him as LORD, at His feet humbly fall,

JESUS, Christ Jesus, is far above all.

Debra Kasambura, Queen of Shebah was finally shoved on a plane and allowed to leave the Country with out any penalty being demanded of her.      She continued to live by her questionable wits all over the world.      Is he continuing to do so? I do not know.    But by the time she left Kenya in 2002 she had denied knowing her true self, and denied knowing the only one who could deliver her from her own sin and deceipt; the ONLY ONE who could forgive her, cleanse her from all her unrighteous livining, and MAKE HER NEW.          I have prayed that she finds and BELIEVES in Jesus.

The Shroud of Turin - 

  

ALL WE LIKE SHEEP........

SOMETIMES, reading a newspaper or magazine I come across a Headline, or topic that starts me of on a train of thought.     Many of these 'thoughts' became articles, some of which were broadcast by SAYARE Radio in Kenya, where I have lived since 1968.       Together with other writings that have reflected on Kenyan life and expression, I shall now publish some via this Blog.     I shall welcome comment and opinion as we  go along. 

This first Article appeared in 1999

THE DAILY NATION'S Saturday Magazine for the 17th July featured the story of Little MARIKUA who was lost for eight days in the jungle.     This little eight year old girl had been sent a short distance (about a kilometer) from her home to collect some sugar from a neighbour.  On the way she was frightened by some dogs, and ran off the track into a herd of Zebra.   She turned again to avoid them, and after a little while she found she was lost among the high bush all around her.

THE BIBLE SAYS WE HAVE ALL GONE ASTRAY, AND FOLLOWED AFTER OUR OWN PATH!    And in doing so we have all become lost - many of us without even realising it.    As lost as Little Marikua.   She was so close to home, but she did not find her way back on her own....she wandered further and further afield until, after eight days she was almost 80 kilometres from home. 

A massive search was mounted to find her, involving the immediate community and even the Army.   Every effort was made to find her, and many sacrificed time and comfort in leaving their homes and families in order to be part of the Search Party.     Day after day they searched, finding nothing.  They had almost given up, when on the morning of the seventh day, one of the Party found the child, curled up asleep in the bush, just a few meters from where they had all camped for the night.  She was very weak, and unable to speak or move......helpless and close to death.

In God's eyes we are all like lost children, away from the safety and love of home and parent.   God, our Father in Heaven, worries and grieves over every one of us, and desiring not to lose one of us, sent JESUS Christ, His son, to seek and find us.

Jesus once told a story about a shepherd who lost one of his sheep - just one.    He had ninety nine still safely with him, but he was so concerned for the one that had become lost, that he risked life and limb to go to find him.      I have a picture at home of such a shepherd, but in the picture he has actually FOUND the sheep that was lost and away.    It is shown as having fallen down a cliff-side, and was lying hurt on a dangerous ledge.     The Shepherd was shown to be reaching down precariously, putting his own life in jeopardy, to try and reach the sheep.         There is also a SECOND pictured nearby -  This time the Shepherd has secured his lost sheep, and is carrying it tenderly draped around his shoulders on the way home again.

There was great rejoicing over Marikua's rescue,    She had been snatched from the jaws of death. The story made it into the Nations Press!     But what about those others who have become lost following their own way instead of God's?     So many are lost, far from home, and their life ebbing away.  What of their lives?   Is anyone seeking and looking, does anyone care?    GOD CARES.   Jesus cares, but do you and I care?      For those of us who might call ourselves Christian, we are supposed to believe that Jesus Himself has come to live in OUR heart.      AND if that is true, then He ought to be putting it upon our hearts to seek those who are lost,      In the Gospel of John 20v21 in the Bible Jesus says 'AS MY FATHER SENT ME , SO SEND I YOU!    He says 'GO into all the world and tell the people all about ME, and how I have come to bring them home to God and Everlasting Life.;

MARIKUA's situation and rescue really got to me.   Her loss caused such consternation and concern. 

How concerned was I for others; for those now dying in their lostness.   How much effort did I myself, as a Christian, put in to proclaiming The Good News of Jesus and doing what I could to bring the lost home into the kingdom of heaven.     THIS is God's work.     Nothing else is more important. Yes, anyone who will busy him or her self in doing this is WISE indeed.

I talk to Christians now; those who have BELIEVED themselves to have been lost and away from God, in REBELLION even to Him, but repenting of their condition have also trusted in His Love and in the Salvation and Forgiveness purchased by God's Son on that Cross on Calvary's Hill....Since you have counted yourselves Children of God, have you reached out to others that they might also be Found, and rescued from the error and imminent death their god LESS lives have led them.

If you and I are NOT in God's Search Party, even though we may attend our church meetings, and even teach and preach about Jesus Christ; even though we testify to knowing HIM, we will in the end likely be found no more than 'nominal' and not REAL Christians, Children of God.    Jesus may say to one of us DEPART FROM ME, I do not know YOU;   you have not done the will of my Father in Heaven.        Matthew 7v21-23 

IN THE WEEK AHEAD LET US ALL BESTIR OURSELVES and even adventure ourselves to reek a soul for God.  Will you join me in that?  Will each one of you, as you read this, agree with me to win a soul this week fir Christ?    DO IT for God our Father in Heaven, who has made ALL mankind to be in His Likeness, and cannot bare the thought of one of us being lost for ever from Him.     People are getting lost all around us.     Stop judging, criticising, and rejecting people.   Let Jesus encourage you to GET UP and to put yourself out in order to rescue them with the love and mercy of God

Rescue the Perishing

Throw out the lifeline across the dark wave.

There is a brother who someone should save;

Somebody's brother!  Oh, who then will dare

To throw out the life line his peril to share.
