The DAY approaches...

No Christ follower in all history has ever had the opportunities we are having in our generation, to witness first hand a world in turmoil as it rapidly spins out of control. Terrorism is rampant, there are natural disasters happening everywhere, sin is at an all time high,and There are just a few modern day plagues around the place as well. The news of the death of Osama has bought such a mixed bag of reaction and emotion. He was a bad and evil man ..yes, but what the world is shown us in response to his death..just shows me how fast the day approaches when Jesus will return. Add to that the drama in the middle east..

The bible says that we should encourage each other more now than ever before.

One day we will go to bed at night, wake up the next day, just like we have been doing all of our lives, but this day will be different....the events of this day will change us forever and our world forever...

When Jesus returns... Nothing will be the same again.

Those that love Him now, will join Him then...
Those that don't. Well, you will still see Him, its that the outcome will be very different.

I get this image in my mind, of people frantically trying to justify their position when Jesus comes back.... Defending their lifestyle, explaining why and why not... Clutching at straws, trying to play catch up commitment, to do their best to get to heaven, and Jesus will see through it all.

Now is the time of Salvation, now is the time to make that choice and decision.... Not then ...then it's just too late.

This world is somewhat out of control and needs Jesus...

If you are a Christ follower, encourage each other more and more as the day approaches..

If you are not a Christ follower, then get to a church, join up now.... He is coming back for His church.

Yeah the world is doing some "sucky" things right now.

It needs the Saviour. So do you. So do I.

    I find it intriguing that people blame God for this or for that.
    Use His name and title when it suits.

    But if things don't go their way, well He doesn't exist, that is until, the next time I want to blame someone for something.

    My God is big.
    My God is real.
    my God will judge the earth and everyone in it.

    Don't ignore Him, reject Him, or pretend He doesn't exist, and then speak of Him anyway....
    That's just simply illogical.

What got us here, will not get us there.

I have been thinking about the this for sometime now. We as TSA have come along way, but yet...there is a long way yet to go, and everything we have done up until now, has given us the results we now have. It's insanity to think, that if we keep doing the things we have already done, that we will get a different result. All that we have done so far, in previous weeks, months and years and even decades have given us the results we are seeing right now. If we think for one moment that things are going to change, by doing the things the same way as we have already done them, then there may be a need for seeing a therapist. do things the same way, get the same result. change the way you do things, get a different result. the problem with this, is ..... that many think everything is honky dory....all "A OK".... and that's where the real bottle neck actually is. Because the truth is, (and many don't want to acknowledge the truth), that we are not winnin...

Salvo style.... God is here.

For me these days, life is super busy. I used to think I was busy before, but now...my goodness. Now, so that it's clear, I am happy being busy with the Kingdom stuff, and would never cope if I was blatantly bored in ministry, I am simply not wired in such a way. Life is good. My ministry is good. My God is good. For those of my readers who think, that maybe, I think I have arrived..... wash your mouths out...there is no way I think that, last week my head was in such a spin, I literally had to walk out the office and go home. I went for a walk to clear my head and got drenched when it started raining, and it was really good for me... I gained perspective and focus and the next day in the office was a little more sober. It's a busy place and much is going on.... it does pose questions for me, which over time I will seek clarity from the senior leaders here....and I guess where needed, I will tweak where and when I can. in the meantime, I am just doing what I feel...

Psychics

Went onto a Facebook thread this week that involved people seeking a psychic for whatever reason. I understand that the world is seeking answers,  and I have the answer but the answer I have people don't want to seek. VERY  FRUSTRATING . now as bad as it all is, what makes it worse, WAY WORSE...is that some of the people in our church were on there making appointments.   Now, before you throw your hands up in the air and ask what kind of church this actually is... we run a new church here at Craigieburn and it has loads of new baby Christians, and many also, who are just here checking things out...not committed to Christ yet, that's part of the journey of planting a Church..... so it is expected that there will always be people who are on various stages of growth. If you are reading this..and you have been doing this psychic thing... you don't need to do it, you need to seek Jesus and His Holy Spirit, it will be better than anything and everything else yo...
