A Christian Reflection:Where is your faith?

Where is your faith?

Jesus said to the woman "...your faith has saved you;go in peace" Luke 7:50

Jesus calmed the storm,he rebuked it and asked them "where is your faith?"Luke 8:25

Faith is the pinnacle of love.We love because God is love.We love because God has forgiven us.He paid the price for our sins. Who therefore loves more? Is it the one who has been forgiven for the least amount of sins or the one who has been forgiven for more sins? Luke 7:41.

It is someone who is forgiven little shows little love.Luke 7:47

What is your mindset? I am forgiven,but clearly have forgotten the cost that Christ paid on the cross.Have I become too proud and look down on those in sin? Have I looked down on the needy and the poor?Have I stop feeding the hungry, giving drink to those that thirst and clothing the naked. Yes,is it that my mindset is one where I think it was a little sin and a little price so therefore little love was shown.Luke 7:44-50

We must be careful of putting our light under a bed.That will be selfish of us as Christians.We must be careful that our hearts not be covered with the thorns of the world that will definitely squeezed the love out of it.If this is allowed it will become infected by the "yeast of the pharisees" .

Let anyone will ears listen to his voice and be saved.Praise be to God who save us by the cross.It was not because of little love but of agape love.Praise be to God.Amen

Are you afraid of the responsibility of the coming of the last days?

In thinking of the last days, it is a nerve racking thought. To be true to oneself, no matter how much your faith appears to be or is, the fact is that human nature is afraid of the unknown. To make matters worse there are repeated and constant forecast of doom and gloom. As Christians, there is a great responsibility placed on our shoulders. As the world descends into darkness( increase in evil, crime, rapes, road carnage ,fighting, hunger, taxes, immoral living and the list goes on) our light has to shine and not to be place on a shelf, but for everyone to see. Everyone will be looking at us Christians. They will be hard on us for they will be looking for answers. They will be looking to see how the God that we profess and believe in is actually working in our lives. They will want to see if God is real and how can they be save as well. Many will be doubters, mockers and critics. Therefore it is by our living they can see and witness that despite all the hardsh...

" Father,why have you forsaken me?"

For a long time now I have been faced with the word SIN. It came up again recently when I was reading the book of Jeremiah.It is a scary book but also one of hope.I felt the holy spirit guiding me to read chapter 32 for I were able to make a connection with the sin of the people in that time and the reason behind Jesus pained words on the cross. To start,I decided to find out the definition of sin.Here goes my explanation as it came to me: Sin according to the WebBibleEncyclopedia is the word used to "denote the willful breaking of God's law." Another source gotquestions.org described sin as transgression of the law of God and rebellion against God. We sometimes do not understand the word SIN in all its entirety.What I do know is that it is something very serious and terrible for Jesus to have died on the cross to absorb the punishment. According to the bible all SINs are and must be punished because of who Yahweh God is; PERFECTLY (a...

Should we be wearing Crosses or Crucifixes as part of our Christian worship?

Last week on Facebook, I came across a post by a relative of mines stating that he hates to see the cross or any crucifix. The reason being it was a constant reminder that they have kill his parent, his brother Jesus. He asked, how would you feel to see your parent up on a cross everyday? Honestly, I think it is a good question. I personally do not want to see my parents or any member of my family hanging from a cross everyday. I think others may agree ... Right! It will be just terrible and I could just imagine the pain, anguish and emotions that will follow. But on reflection, I would ask how did they end up there? What was the reason? What was the cause? What was their journey ? The answer surely will have an impact on my behavior and attitude afterwards. I don't really like going to funerals, but when I do the sermons are so spot on. What I observe sometimes at funerals are people wearing jerseys with the deceased face on them, some may wear their uniforms or some may have...
