TRUE CHRISTIANITY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD

Teenage mother with her child


True Christianity implies that you leave all the earthly things, these include going to parties , being sexual active and disrespecting among other things. Don't you think that if we all lived such a life a world would be a better place? All the things that are happening now would not be happening . For instance, the high percentage of teenage pregnancy. According Siyanqoba beat it one in three teenager fall pregnant each and everyday.Also in 2006 registered live births in the Department of home affairs were 13346 119 and 158 842 being teenage mothers. This shows that this is a major problem in South africa http://www.beatit.co.za/siyayinqoba-beat-it-2009/episode-1-teenage-pregnancy. I am stating the solution here. If we could just live by true faith and true christianity this problem would decrease.This problem is leading our youth to not complete schooling . When christ is in you ,you do not care aboout the Earthly things anymore. Even if temptations come you overcome because of the Jesus in you. Where will our youngstars be if they continue to gamble with their lives? Are these earthly things more important than your life? importat more than your future?

Jesus is the solution

PASTOR FAILS TO RAISE DEAD!

pole headline at Ackland Park
   

I saw this headline on the street pole and I was very much interested in reading it. When reading it the Pastor actualy promised to raise the deceased.Then i ask myself what exatly is the function of a pastor? http://www.biblicalperspectives.com/books/women_church/4.htmlThe role of a pastor is to represent the congregation,to be a worshiper ,to set good examples to the fellow saints ,an administrator and has a certain gift from God (corinthians). To go around making certain promises is certanly not setting good examples. Yes a man of God must be able to perfom miracles only to show the power of God, not empwering themselves. How true is it that the pastor actually promised to raise the dead? As we all Know that Daily Sun is actuallly not a credible source. The thing that really worries me is that the media frames certain things to the society . They have framed the pastor as a person who raises the dead. That's not what a pastor is ordained to do. How long will the media continue to brainwash our minds on meaning of things? Especially christianity. The media give thier own definition of what christianity is and I am definately sure that these definitions they give are not what in reality christianity is.

RED BULL PLAYING WITH RELIGION

Jesus wlaks on water:Red Bull advert

 Red Bull has made an advertisement where Jesus walk on water but one of the desciples ask if its one of his miracles, the other responds and says that its probably the Red Bull that he drank. Jesus responds that you just have to know the rocks and your stepping stones. http://www.peherald.com/news/article/5306. Red bull really like kidding around with religion specifically christianity. This is not the first time they do so. There was also an advertisement that was about Christianity where the Angels where said to have wings because they drank red bull .I really find it very disturbing for red bull to belittle christianity like this. When ask to comment the communication department of red bull said that they where just kidding around. Where do you begin to build your communication strategy on such a risky topic as this? Why do you kid on things like this? Well this kidding has surely destroyed their reputation because many christians are not ever going support it. A Catholic Bishop has even argued christians to stop supporting it. Their communication managers are surely against religion. Why do they continue using christianity even if they were banned the first time around? I really do not understand. Apparently the CEO of Red Bull died late march .http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303812904577289344108271080.html. Do we then say ,God is punishing him? we do know. Well I hope all the bad publicity has made them realise that you do not play with Christianity.

THE LIGHT OUTSHINES THE DARKNESS

                                              

In the beggining God saw that the light was good he seperated it from the darkness, Genesis 1 verse four .What exatly is the light and what is darkness? The light is defined as  everything that is bright ,visible to the eye,clear and bright. The darkness is the absence of light . all the things that are not clear, they are gloomy, blank and not visible. When God created the world why did he seperate the two? Why was the light good than the darkness? When it is night the lights go out and it is very scary to stay in the night/darkness. It is also impossible to work in the light. http://jaeka2011.wordpress.com/This meaning that there are no benefits at all in darkness world. John 12 verse 25 says that a man that walks in the dark does not know where he is going. can you see that the darkness has no good things at all ,that is why god saw the light as good . Biblically a person who is not saved is compared to the man that is walking in the darkness. it is so because if you are living to satisfy your flesh you have not yet seen the light, you do not have any authority over your flesh but it owns you. If you are in the dark do not despair there is a saver who will take you away from the darkness and walk you in the light. It is Jesus Christ. In the book of Matthew 4 verse 16 it states that Jesus showed light to the darkness and saved the people living in the darkness. http://www.revelife.com/727284136/walking-in-the-light/ Martin Luther KIng the Junior once said 'darkness cannot drive out darkness but only the light can .Only the light can outshine the darkness. Ask yourself in which world do you belong to? is the gloomy world or the visible world?

EASTER

                                                     
     What is easter and what does it exatly mean ? easter is actually a christians feast in which they celebrate the ressureaction of Jesus Christ on the day that he was crucified on calvary. In   which on the third day he rose from the dead. We find this in the book of Matthew chapter 27http://christianity.about.com/od/holidaytips/qt/whatiseaster.htm.Jesus was crucified  because he wanted to save sinners from thier sins. He became the ransom where paul said in the book of corinthians. What we should learn from his death is new life.        http://thepoint.gm/africa/gambia/article/easter-2012-message-from-the-methodist-mission-of-the-gambia. he Gained a new life when he rose . Why don't we adopt that and create new lives out of bad situations and challenges. Bury those bad situations in order to create and have new ones and make sure you make the best of the new ones.become wiser amd wiser that your situations.. The people that killed Jesus thought that they were wiser that him but the were not. Use your situations as your scapegoat to new beginnings. Also Jesus humbled himself even if he was mocked , he kept his cool. Also keep your cool in everything and you will rise some day. Finally whatever we think about ourselves tend to become true,so think positively about yourself.

FORGIVENESS

When you say you have forgiven someone ,have you really forgiven them? or do you forgive them because they have asked for your forgiveness or because its the right and honorable thing to do that God tells us to? or when you forgive them you have expetations that they won't repeat the same mistakes they did? Forgiveness is defined as an act of stop feeling angry or resentful  towards a person who has wronged you or hurt you.In the book of mattew 6 verse 14 to 16 Jesus commands us  to forgive so that  we will also be forgiven . Is that the main reason why we forgive ? Jesus also said that if your brother sins you even seven times we must forgive him . In our nature we do not overflow with mercy ,grace and forgiveness. But when we have acceptde the holy spirit we are given the Holy spririt  fruits. The fruits of the holy spirit are LOVE, JOY, PEACE ,LONGSUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS  , FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS  and SELF CONTROL.http://www.bible-knowledge.com/fruits-of-the-holy-spirit/. All these are what Jesus has and what he went through .These fruits helps us along the way to forgive people. In forgiving a person you do not just help them but you help yourself, You bring freedom,Joy and happiness to yourself. Jesus showed us the way and opened a way for forgiveness so let us follow in jesus footsteps.

LET US STOP CHRISTOPHOBIA

Christophobia is defined as  an opposition to christian's ,their religion and the practice of christianity. It is Discrimination and intolerance against chritians. It was reported that over 160 000 christians are murderd , burnt alive and brutally beaten last year.http://www.frontline.org.za/articles/Christophobia.htm. They are being murderd by mostly the muslims and other people that are of different religions.But why? why do we have to murder people because of what they believe in? What is the actual reason for this?

A hollywood organisation has established an anti-christophobia to fight these vicious acts. They reported that one innocent christian is murderd in every  five minutes just for believing in jesus christ. Christianity is regarded illegal in fifty-one countries.http://www.legalizejesus.com/2012/03/10/massive-prayer-rally-in-hollywood-thecry-hollywood-is-calling-on-all-christians-for-march-15-please-join-us/

In the book of corinthians apostle Paul says that "all that will live Godly in Christ shall suffer persecution. But that does not maen we must stand and be silent . Let us unite and fight against this evil act. With God we are more that conquerers we can defeat this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RlP8qoy3DE&feature=player_detailpage
