FROM THE LOVE OF WINE TO THE LOVE OF JESUS.

Proverbs 20 v 1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise

Isaiah 5 v 11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it

1 Corinthians 6 v 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God

The Light of Life 

The lights are on, but no one’s home,  
The conscience blew out long ago. 
In sin and fear I do live,  
Just take, take, take, and never give! 

My path is dark, and downhill; 
Nothing to stop me falling further still,
Terrified and tormented,  in alcohol I have depended.
I have gone too far, my ways can never be mended!

To my amazement I stumbled on a book, 
Into my soul it was able to look,
And give me light to put me right, 
And now look up never down, 
One day I might even receive a crown. 

Without the need of alcohol, I am able to live,  
My heart has changed to give, give, give,  
And share the love of Jesus my saviour,  
The light of the world who lit up my life! 
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

"THE GREATEST TRANSACTION" by AMRIK

The Greatest Transaction  The greatest transaction that a person can make; involves no hand phone, no internet connection, no dealing cost, no sales tax, it’s absolutely free! You may have made a vast fortune in stocks and shares like Warren Buffett but have you missed out on the real deal!  Matthew 16v26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul. The price for the greatest transaction ever made available to man was paid on the cross of Calvary. 2 Corinthians 5v21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.  What an offer!  Jesus took our sins on the cross and those who believe the Gospel receive the righteousness of Christ. Romans 5v18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgement came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification o...

PSALM 83.

Psalm 83 v 1   (A Song  or  Psalm of Asaph.) Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2  For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3  They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4  They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from  being  a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5  For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 6  The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7  Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8  Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. 9  Do unto them as  unto  the Midianites; as  to  Sisera, as  to  Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 10  Which  perished at...

BIBLICAL REPENTANCE AND SALVATION.

John 16 v 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. The Comforter also referred to as the Spirit of truth in John 16 v 13 is quite clearly the Holy Spirit. To reject Jesus and his atonement for salvation is a sin that cannot be forgiven. Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven because he alone lived a perfect, righteous, sinless life. To the natural man it is not clear who the prince of this world is. A look at Ephesians 2 v 2 and 2 Corinthians 4 v 4 will help us clearly identify him. Acts 20 v 20  And  h...
