In recent weeks I have written a series of articles that provide conclusive proof that the Bible is what it says it is - the inspired Word of God. All scripture is "God-breathed", God has breathed out His very words in the pages of this wonderful book.
I would like, now, to provide absolute proof that the satan-inspired "theory" of evolution cannot possibly be true.
I remember, as a kid, looking at a series of diagrams in a "science" text book which showed how man had supposedly evolved from lower life forms to become the intelligent being he is today. The "theory" of evolution, according to these diagrams, shows life ascending upwards away from primitive life forms.
However, there is a fly in the ointment (incidentally, that saying comes from the Bible - Eccles. 10 v 1). If evolution is true how does one explain the antics of the England football supporters? If we were to draw an upward line in the evolutionary graph it would take a sharp downward turn when we consider the behaviour of these poor creatures.
An example of this occured last month on St George's Day. Not being particularly patriotic (my citizenship is in Heaven - Philippians 3 v 20) I am not concerned to celebrate this occasion in any way, shape or form. However, if people wish to regale one another with supposed stories of the exploits of this "George" character, then that's up to them. However, on the morning of April 23rd I witnessed a bloke with a huge beer-belly covered by a sea of red and white, and on the front of his shirt the following words "win or lose, I'm on the booze". No doubt this "person" had such an empty life he had to try and fill it by boozing his way into oblivion.
The point I'm making is simple - if evolution were true then we would expect to see less and less of that kind of behaviour and more sensible intelligence. Instead of this, we see an increase in what is termed "anti-social behaviour" such as writing foul swear words on a war memorial, or throwing bricks at coppers, as happened just after the election results came through.
If evolution were true then crime would be non-existent and we would be treating each other fairly as we evolve into more intelligent life forms. The fact that this has not happened is conclusive proof that evolution is, in fact Evil-ution. It is a barmy "theory" promoted by supposedly intelligent "scientists". The Bible sums up such people correctly - "professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (Romans 1 v 22).
The vile behaviour of supposedly intelligent people simply provides further proof the Bible IS true when it sums up human nature in Romans 3 v 10-23, but I'll leave that for another article.

The power of God's Word.
In Romans 10 v 17 we read: "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God". Over the last 2 millenia there have been untold multitudes who have come to know Christ as their personal Saviour through the reading of God's precious and infallible Word - the Bible. One such example of this miracle of grace was Sergei Kourdakov in the 1970s, in the former USSR.
Sergei was a nasty bit of work. He led a group of coppers who had a remit to break up Christian meetings, which remit they fulfilled with extreme violence. Time and again this gang of thugs would invade Christian meetings and carry out unspeakable acts of savagery against the gentle disciples of Christ. However, on one such occasion one of their victims was a young lady whom Sergei later called "Natasha" (not her real name, this was withheld for security reasons). The simple, quiet presence of this Christian girl disturbed him. When she was present at another meeting a short time later, despite having been badly beaten earlier, Sergei really began to question whether or not he was doing right.
When these meeting were broken up the police would confiscate scriptures. It was a criminal offence to print a Bible, or even buy one (shades of things to come in the UK?) and the believers would write out scripture portions while listening to Gospel radio broadcasts from the free West. These confiscated scriptures would be taken to police HQ and burnt. One day Sergei was detailed to do the burning and, while his colleague went off to get vodka, he decided to read some of the pages. What he read was an extract from Luke's Gospel and it penetrated his conscience. He began to ask himself serious questions about God.
To cut a long story short he escaped to Canada and obtained asylum. He not only got saved, but went over N. America speaking to large audiences about the persecution of Christians in communist Russia. However, such work was highly dangerous and eventually the KGB murdered him. They tried to make it look like suicide, but he wouldn't have killed himself as he was in the process of writing to a Senator with a view to applying for US citizenship.
His change from being a hardened atheist to a committed servant of Christ came about because of those few pages of Luke's Gospel that he had read while burning God's word. This is not only a wonderful and thrilling account of how he got saved, but further proof that the Bible really is what it says it is - the Inspired, Inerrant, Infallible, Invincible and Indestructible Word of the Living God.

Further proof the Bible is true.
Over the last few months I've written articles producing clear evidence that the Bible is the truth. It is, as it claims, the inspired Word of God.
The fact that it has stood the test of time, it has changed people's lives, and the numerous fulfilled prophecies all bear testimony to it's infallibility. One example of fulfilled prophecy being the 7-fold prophecy regarding the destruction of Tyre in Ezekiel chapter 26. The chances of all 7 coming true are are so minuscule it is extremely difficult to accurately compute. In addition to this is the fact that the numerous prophecies concerning Christ found in the Old Testament were fulfilled in the New Testament.
Another proof of the Bible's inerrancy is being enacted right before our eyes even as I write this article. In Matthew 24 v 12 Jesus said (referring to the period leading up to His 2nd coming) "because iniquity will abound the love of many will wax cold".
What does that mean? Simply this, in the time leading up to Christ's 2nd coming there will be an explosion of sinfulness that will be so severe that even many professing Christians will fall away from the faith. This is exactly what is happening now. Indeed, for some years there has been a huge increase in such wickedness as unnatural sexual perversions, and the complete breakdown in marriage with many children being born outside the marriage union. Moreover, any Christian who has the courage to explain Biblical teaching on these matters risks being arrested or sacked from their job. Indeed, this has happened so often that it is not now even reported in the media.
I've no doubt that atheists rejoice as they see an increase of what they term as "secularism"; they seem pleased that the Christian faith has been maligned and Christians are being persecuted in the UK and the US. Moreover, they glory in "official statistics" that allegedly show a marked decrease in the number of people who believe in the Lord Jesus as their Saviour.
However, what these poor creatures do not realise is that this trend towards iniquity, and away from the Bible, is actually proving that the Bible is true. As the prophecy of Matthew 24 v 12 is coming to pass this should increase the faith of God's people because it is another evidence we can present to atheists, and all non-Christians, to back up our claim that God's word is absolutely trustworthy.
In the Bible we read that God makes the wrath of man to praise Him (Psalm 76 v 10); the raging of atheists against the Bible as they cite the increase of unbelief shows that this verse is spot on, and absolutely accurate as, indeed, all of the Bible is.
I do not despair as I see the increase in atheistic unbelief, I rejoice that God has given us indisputable proof of the truthfulness of His word.

A bridge for the Gospel
In the last few months I've written a couple of articles about how the cuts in welfare benefits gives Christians a wonderful opportunity for spreading the Gospel. I wrote about how churches can set up help for the poor in the form of food parcels and, as people come to collect these, then contact can be made with them, with a view to telling them about Jesus.
Proof that this is happening was evident at a meeting I went to last week. The 2 people hosting this (Roger and Matt) are evangelists with the London City Mission and head up a fine work for the Lord in the Bromley area. To be more specific, the hall they use is called "Whitefoot Lane Christian Centre" and is situated on the Downham estate. As a result of benefit cutbacks a real need developed in the area and these 2 dear servants of Christ set up a help centre for those in need. Help, advice and the provision of food is freely available. In addition to this a "pastoral table" is also set up staffed by a local minister who is on hand to pray with people and pass on Gospel literature.
It should be stressed that no recipient of the food help is required to listen to a minister or take literature, and no-one is put under any pressure. However, those who receive food help are so grateful for this that they are likely to be open and willing to consider the Gospel and listen to someone telling them about Jesus. As a result of this outreach souls have been saved.
Moreover, during this meeting we were informed that the LCM have a hall in another part of the city that provides a free breakfast for the homeless every day. Not only do they feed the bodies but also provide food for the soul in the form of a clear presentation of the Gospel. Again, souls have been saved through this ministry.
This blog is NOT political and I do not promote any party. However, I for one, find myself wondering if the benefit cutbacks of the last govt. (2010-2015) have helped to facilitate the spread of the Gospel. If these benefit cutbacks did not occur then it is unlikely that people would need food parcels and the opportunity for churches would not have been there. Indeed, one could say that benefit cuts have indirectly caused the salvation of souls as needy people seek food help and receive the Gospel as well.
It could well be that God, in His sovereignty, placed a government in charge that cut benefits in order for souls to be saved. If that is the case then, perhaps, it may be a good thing if the new govt. after May 7 continues this policy. If welfare benefits are very low, or non-existent, then what a wonderful opportunity to reach out to the poor and needy with the message of Jesus.
We should be looking for all opportunities to tell others about Jesus, how He died for their sins and rose again; as Paul put it "....by all means save some" - 1st Corinthians 9 v 22

What is the greatest crime you can commit?
The other day someone asked me the following question - "What is the greatest crime you can commit?". I thought about this for a few moments and then replied "The greatest crime is that which bears the heaviest penalty and, as the heaviest penalty is eternal damnation in Hell, then the greatest crime is to deny that Jesus Christ is the Son of God".
This may seem extreme to many people. After all, surely the greatest crime would be atrocities committed (eg the holocaust) or some foul deed perpetrated against a defenceless child. Mankind's history is full of reports of gross wickedness. Indeed, every time we turn on the news it seems that another dreadful crime has been committed, often against people who were unable to protect themselves. Of course, while these acts are wrong we need to look at this question from God's perspective and not our narrow, humanistic viewpoint which is often tainted by our sinful, fallen nature.
In John chapter 3 verse 18 we are told that a non-belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God will put a person under God's condemnation. Moreover, in John 8 v 24 Jesus said that if people do not believe "that I am He" they would die in their sins. The phrase "I am He" is a reference to The Lord Jesus as the Son of God and Messiah.
This, coupled with Jesus' claim to be the only way to Heaven (John 14 v 6) leads us to the conclusion that the ultimate penalty for not accepting Jesus Christ as God's Son is eternal punishment. This can be the only possible consequence for one very simple reason - when we die we all go to Heaven or Hell and, as Jesus is the only way to the former, those who don't accept Him will inevitably endure the latter.
Moreover, just as mankind's history is full of reports of gross wickedness and foul deeds, it is also full of reports of criminals who have truly repented and accepted Christ as Lord and Saviour (eg Von Ribbentrop, who accepted Christ before he was hanged). Indeed, if Hitler or Stalin had truly turned to Christ then they would be in Heaven now. Given the nature of Hitler's death it is unlikely he repented but, if he had repented and accepted Christ, and then was hanged for his crimes, he would be in Heaven now and for all eternity. The same goes for Adolf Eichman and Saddam Hussein. Even the worst of criminals can be forgiven for their misdeeds if they are truly repentant and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
However, if law-abiding citizens, who have never done any harm to any person, refuse to accept Christ as the Son of God (or even try to remain "neutral") then they WILL face the eternal consequences of their unbelief; they condemn themselves by their rebellion against God, and, in effect calling God a liar (in Matthew 3 v 17 God called Jesus His Son. Therefore. refusing to accept Christ as the Son of God is to call God a liar).
What I have written above would be considered to be an extreme statement and not worthy of response but it is the truth; it is based upon clear, and undisputed fact. As Paul said, in Acts 16 v 31 "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved".

A blessing or a curse?
It has become clear that the plane crash over the French Alps which killed 150 people was caused deliberately by the co-pilot. He locked his chief out of the cockpit and put the plane into descend mode taking his own life and 149 others.
It also appears that the Pilot was banging furiously on the door and would have known that the plane was going to crash. He would have had advanced notice of his death, but did the passengers know that death was only minutes away?
The general consensus among aviation experts is that the passengers probably didn't know the plane was in danger until the last second. They were, it seems, blissfully unaware that their lives were about to end. Is it a blessing or a curse not to know you are about to die?
Many will argue it is a blessing, because to know one is going to die is a terrifying experience, but there is one drawback - if you don't know you are about to die you don't have time to prepare for eternity. If these passengers did not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and they didn't have advanced warning of their deaths, then they will have passed into eternity completely unprepared and will face what the Bible calls eternal punishment. Therefore, that "blessing" of ignorance will prove to be a curse.
However, if they had known of the impending crash, that terrifying knowledge could have been put to good use by their repentance and faith in Christ as Lord and Saviour. The curse of knowing you are about to die will be to your eternal blessing if you use that remaining time to turn to Christ.
In the annals of human history there have been numerous occasions when people, knowingly facing death, have found Christ as their Lord and Saviour. An example being Von Ribbentrop, the Nazi war-criminal, who got saved during the Nuremberg trials. Many other condemned prisoners have testified to having made their peace with God before being executed.
Moreover, when the Titanic was sinking, there were many people praying and seeking after God. An evangelist named John Harper called many other passengers to repentance and faith in Christ before passing on to higher service. It is inconceivable that no-one would have heeded his warning.
However, for many poor souls there is no warning of death but their lives have been cut short due to an accident that killed them instantly. None of us can be sure when we will die, that is why we need to be ready now - as the Bible says: "Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation" (2nd Corinthians 6 v 2).

Food banks - an excellent opportunity for the Gospel
In recent months I have come across a number of articles by people bemoaning the fact that "Food Banks" have become more prevalent since the start of the current government. I also notice that, in my local Waitrose store, there is a large box set aside for customers to make donations of food - tins, cereal packets and so on.
I have mixed feelings about these food parcels; on the one hand it is sad that people who have fallen on hard times have to rely on such handouts. On the other hand this represents an excellent opportunity for the Gospel to be spread.
I believe that a number of churches are involved in preparing and distributing this help; the question is - are they placing Gospel tracts and booklets inside these food parcels? If not, then they are missing out on the chance to reach people with the help that they really need.
It is good to help people in need of food and other necessities of life, but what about the Bread of Life being presented to them? If a church gives practical help in this way, the recipient should be so grateful for this that they would (we hope) be more amenable to read about their need of eternal salvation.
The kind of booklets to be included in this outreach could be one (or a combination) of the following:
1. A complete New Testament, say provided by the Gideons.
2. A Gospel of John. (The 4th book of the New Testament and an eye-witness account of the teachings and miracles of Jesus). I wrote an article recently about the effectiveness of such a booklet in evangelism.
3. A good selection of well written Gospel tracts.
4. A chick book, especially "This was your life" - which interested readers can access online. Simply google "This was your life" chick book.
It could be that the Lord has permitted this situation (the need for food banks) to come about so that churches can avail themselves of the opportunity to spread the word of the everlasting Gospel.
