Actual News



Times are coming, really bad times, so terrible that the world has never seen the like before. The bible tells us that the time of Jacob's trouble will be a bad time indeed but Israel will come though it. - and God cannot lie. How about you though?

If you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and saviour, look for Him and He will be waiting for you, that's His promise.  

Most folks don't get their pre-planned 5 minutes on a death-bed to sort it out with God. Most people die unexpectedly, never seeing their inevitable death coming, putting off a relationship with God until the last possible moment, and then miss it. If you aren't right with God through the blood of Jesus Christ you will die in your sins and never make it. 

Now would be a good time to get right with the Lord, while you can. If you are reading this then you can never say nobody told you!

Choose life, repent and turn back to God.

Liar




'He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall persecute the saints of the Most High,
And shall intend to change times and law.
Then the saints shall be given into his hand
For a time and times and half a time.'

Dan 7:25

Entrance fee £0.00



I know you can see it. It is so hard to look at sometimes, so frightening, that we would rather deny it is happening than face the awful truth.

But to deny the truth would be pointless, hopeless and ultimately self-destructive on a scale that is almost unimaginable. You were not created stupid, open your eyes!

Pick up a bible, read it, and you will KNOW the times we are in.

There's only one way out of this in one piece and that is through the gate marked Jesus Christ. God's free gift, open to all. x

You are NOT a good person.

Not long now. Unimaginably good news for those in Christ. Horrifically distressing for those who aren't.



'But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.  For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.'

Eph 2:4-9


If you don't yet know Jesus Christ as your personal saviour, now is the time to do so. You might not see another day on earth whether He comes now or not. And if you die without accepting His loving FREE gift of salvation you will never get another chance.

Eternity is forever. Do you want to spend it in hell?

Choose life. Choose Jesus Christ.

Knocked Conscious




'He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’  Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.'
Matt 16:2-4

Woe there!



Yes, and men and women not only marry 'themselves' (!!!?) but also; their dogs, their goats, cars, even their pillows! Whaaaaaaat? Pillows? Next thing you know men will have 'husbands' and women 'wives'! What a mess.

If you love your sin more than God (and the book says that will be a major sign of His impending arrival) then He can't help you, and that is something He died to provide for you - help through salvation. You can, of course, reject that FREE loving gift and carry on regardless, and that, as they say, is on you.

Know the times we are living in. Open your eyes and take a step back for a moment. It is sooooo bad now it's almost breathtaking. Surely He is coming soon. Hold onto your hats...


'But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was. '


'But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.'

2 Tim 3:1-16

Nutshell

In the same way that people use and have always used politics, fame, notoriety, money etc. as a vehicle to get what they want, who they want and be where they want, so people have also used 'religion' to acheive their own personal, and often evil goals for their own advancement.

This is why I am not 'religious'.

I do not worship God under any church denomination, attend any church building, do an A-Z in order of service on a Sunday... you get the picture.

What God wants with every one of us is a deeply personal relationship, one-on-one, without anything in the way. And that includes religion.

What strikes me when I hit the streets trying to explain this simple message of the gospel is how confused most people are about this. Here are some examples of what folks say. See if you would say something similar:

  • I am a good person so I will probably go to heaven when I die
  • The universe is chaotic, there is no God
  • I'm already a Christian (sort of) / Buddist / Muslim / JW / tree hugger etc
  • Hell's gonna be one big party - bring it on!

Most people say the first one, believing that there is 'something' after death but not really knowing (or really wanting to know) for sure. This would seemingly be a fairly innocuous answer, neither here or there, kind of sitting on the fence, non offensive, non agressive. And there's the problem. There is no fence to sit on!

This is what God says (not me - check it for yourselves)
We are ALL sinners. The penalty for being a sinner (and therefore at emnity with God) is death - not just the inevitable physical death that everyone experiences, but the death of the soul in a place called hell.

This poses a distinct problem doesn't it? If we are all sinners (which we are and most honest people freely admit this) then we all have a major problem on our hands, like a ticking time-bomb on a countdown to an incomprehensible and eternal horror. That's the bad news.

Here's the good news - actually almost too good to be true news. Your sin debt and my sin debt has already been dealt with, paid in full by God Himself, on the cross. Jesus Christ has paid for us as a gift of total and complete love so we won't have to go to hell.

So why are some people (sadly most people) still going to hell? The answer is painfully simple to anyone who has attempted to evangelise the gospel of Christ and explain this simple message - the reason is pride.

Pride, or to put it another way, self-righteousness, is in my experience, the no.1 barrier to people accepting God's free gift of salvation. Many believe that they don't or have ever sinned, or that even if they are guilty of sin they are good enough on their own merits, relying on their good deeds or works getting them though and into heaven. If that is what you truly believe then read on.

If you turn up at God's doorstep with a handful of good deeds as an entrance fee into the Kingdom of Heaven, He will look down at your works you have proudly fanned out like a deck of cards and what 'He' will see before Him is your hands full of 'filthy rags' which is to say (from the Hebrew translation for) used sanitary towels - to God, your good works are nothing more than used tampons. Nice.

You cannot 'earn' you way into heaven, that is impossible. There are NO good people in God's view. All are sinners and fall well short of His perfection - the minimum entrance requirement into heaven.

So what can I do to achieve that, you say?

Nothing. You and I can do nothing to be as righteous as God, how can we?. But what we can do, and what He wants us to do (because He dearly wants to be with us and give us all the blessings He can - which will be huge and unlimited) is to come to him just as we are - as a sinner. Christ died for SINNERS!

We approach God with a humble, repentant heart, contrite in spirit (not full of ourselves and challenging Him). We ask Him for forgiveness and willingly accept the gift of His Son Jesus Christ, acknowledging Him as God in the flesh, that He has paid for us in full and washed us clean by the shedding of His blood. By making Jesus Christ our 'personal' saviour, our sins have been dealt with once and for all. Jesus does not have to be re-crucified again when we inevitably screw up.

I'm not being big-headed here when I clearly state that, when I die, I will be in heaven - guaranteed. That is God's promise to me, to you. My sins died on that cross and were buried with Jesus Christ. When Jesus rose again on the third day, I rose with Him (so being born again in Spirit). It has absolutely NOTHING to do with me being a good person, as anyone who knows me will tell you, I'm not a good person. I'm getting better though, day-by-day. Being sanctified is a process through faith, but any 'good works' (deeds) done now are 'additional to' and not 'instead of' salvation.

Now what is difficult about that? No religion, no frills, no forms, rituals or works involved. Just faith in what Jesus Christ has done for each and every one of us.

Question is, will you humble yourself enough to accept His free gift of pure love or will you reject Him? Remember this - there is no fence to sit on!

I hope I see you all there. x

The mark.



The above was a news report on the BBC main news on Thursday evening.

If you are still in doubt or denial about the times we are in then it may be that you are so entrenched and deluded that you will never get free.

Pray to the Lord for deliverence, for understanding and for Him to open your eyes. You must be saved through the blood of Jesus Christ alone in order to recieve forgiveness and assurance of salvation. God cannot lie. If you come to Him with a humble, repentant heart and receive the gift of salvation through grace, you WILL be saved - that is God's promise to you today.

Once you take that mark you are totally without any hope and you will be lost forever.

'He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.'
Rev 13:15-17

'And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”'
Rev 14:8-11

'And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.'
Rev 19:19-21


'And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.' 
Rev 20:4-5

Get saved. Bring your family and loved ones to Christ now whilst the door is still open.
