There is so much confusion and unscriptural directions, that many find it difficult to find a power based relationship with God. There are many bible verses that when quoted in isolation, fail to reveal the full strength and power of true salvation. These notes particularly quote the passages that explain how the real power of God is activated. They also detail the true, faith based approach that results in signs, miracles and wonders. It is a shame that most people only hear of Jesus Christ and his love for the world, but never hear of nor see the power that is still available today.

As Jesus revealed the structure of the New Testament, it became clear that it would only work if its basic principles were practiced and maintained. This is the offer that God has made to the world. Salvation is only possible through participating in the sacrifices that Christ suffered for us. The need to repent, be baptized and pray and receive the Holy Spirit, with God's chosen evidence of speaking in tongues... is essential. The following points of spiritual order, amplify the basic acts of faith Christians need to understand and apply.

Satan, the great deceiver, is always offering a better deal than God. He is always attacking the credibility of the church, their faith and always trying to undermine and trip them up... often using the scriptures out of context to undermine their faith. This deceit is quite evident when dealing with the forgiveness of sin and remains a stumbling block for many spirit filled people, who hold confusing and often contradictory beliefs relating to this topic. Many struggle through a false salvation model, while the true and effective one is often beyond their knowledge. The aim of this presentation is to set some clear principles that hold true and will stand the test of doubt or criticism... freeing you truly from the law of sin and death. For the church...our task is to correct the errors relating to God and Christian living and reveal the true salvation God offers.

Let us never lose sight that the clock is counting down to the final disasters that force the return of Christ. Most of the known world will end, but the chosen of God will be saved: here are a few related prophecies.

The concept of sin and salvation is only relevant if the biblical viewpoint of a purposeful creation is considered. If the human race is merely accidental and temporary, then our existence is without purpose and our life would be pointless. Should evolution be the source of humanity, then life, love and happiness would also be totally meaningless. On this basis, we will promote the scriptural viewpoint, because it is the only approach that gives meaning to life and its values. Thus, the bible defines sin as... a breach of God's purposes, either spiritual or natural. Life is a choice (we clothe, feed and protect ourselves) and likewise eternal life is also a choice that is equally available. This is where the Gospel of Jesus Christ comes into play.

All the recent talk about 'fake news' serves to remind us of the ongoing battle between truth and error. Not only have scriptural principles been corrupted by religious compromise... almost all forms of news and education have become vehicles for ideological and/or political promotion and point scoring. Most news that has any form of political content will be skewed to suit the promoters or owners viewpoint.

Throughout history, societies have granted special recognition and privileges to marriage because it is the central organizing institution of human culture. Marriage regulates relationships, sexuality, human reproduction, lineage, kinship, and family structure. Also, marriage has performed another crucial function; it defines morality. Morality is much more than a definition of sexual activity. It provides structural and ethical balances that allow every individual to be respected and valued for their character, rather than social compliance. It is moral and ethical disciplines that regulate our freedoms into sustainable practices.

The true church should be built on the examples of Christ and the apostles, through the tangible power (rather than doctrinal theory), of the Holy Spirit. The functioning of our church needs to be representative of God's attitude and blessing to the human race, which also includes continuous refining of doctrinal issues. The positive way we treat each other, the way we respond to pressure or betrayal, should also reflect our God given testimony. Everyone in the church owes it to God, to have and continually present a positive testimony of overcoming and spiritual joy.

The biblical record reveals that there have been a number of times when nations and empires have been destroyed for refusing to repent from sinful behaviour. On all occasions, there were loud and clear warnings of what was about to unfold, but as a rule the people refused to take the warnings seriously. We are now moving rapidly towards the worst prophesied destruction this world has ever seen. All the signs are present as humanity is globally abandoning ethics and morality at an unprecedented rate.

Life is considered to be the most precious thing that we have and humanity has gone to great lengths to preserve it. Technology, hospitals, medicines, machinery and all sorts of techniques have been devised to try to sustain life. Pressure groups are always pointing out the perceived dangers of smoking, pollution, nuclear arms, climate change, etc., all expressing concerns for the values that maintain life. Not surprisingly, there is a much greater problem that men wilfully ignore. What happens after you die? Is it the end? Are there any other opportunities for further life? Is there another level of existence etc? It is typical of mankind to spend so much time and money trying to preserve his natural body (which ultimately perishes), while spending too little time investigating whether they can have a future after the body dies. What agency has been set up to investigate humanities greatest need? Mankind is foolishly worrying about immediate natural concerns at the expense of their future. What comes next... after you die? God asks us to consider these things and with the consideration he offers us a valuable answer.
