“Jesus flips the tables. A poor man spends day and night praying in front of a golden statue. He begs that his family be freed of poverty. The priest says to him to pay his tithe on the way out. Jesus flips the tables. A poor man goes to a place he calls home. He invites his neighbours, friends and family. He opens the good book and prays direct to God. Jesus flips the tables.” FaithJesusBible Author:David Holdsworth
“The Son of God perishes that we may not perish. He rises that we may rise. That is how much he loves us. He calls us to lay down our burdens at his cross. To rise up and follow him into the beautiful horizon of his new creation. Behold he makes all things new.” LoveGodBeautifulSonBehold Author:David Holdsworth
“He advocated that all who follow Jesus are priests, not just the official clergy. Much of what he said made sense, as did his kind manner. But why was he here now?

“Jesus is a descendant of David, the beloved of God. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who was born into this world and died and rose again. Saint John calls him the Word and the Light. When he died, he did so as atonement for our sins, and when he rose, he did so to defeat the power and curse of death and hell on this once-holy world. Do you believe in him?” WorldLoveLightFaithHopeBeliefChristianityBelovedAtonementHoly In ChristJesus The ChristSon Of GodThe WordSaint John Book:Angelos Source: Angelos
“The problem with churches of all sorts,” he continued, “is that so often they ignore the key teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, like the doctrine of love. So often we ask God to be on our side instead of asking that we be blessed enough to be on his. That said, the wheat and the tares must grow up together, and in the days of harvest they will be separated properly.” LoveTogetherJoyPeaceJusticeCompassionDoctrineHarvestWheatGod S LoveChurchesSociety HumanitySermonMountTares Book:Angelos Source: Angelos
“Despite the fact that Christianity initially was a non-violent radical movement of God's people, many today who claim to be of Christ seem to see war as needed and even God ordained. Such blasphemy is hardly new. Since the days of Constantine (I) when the State and the Church made an unholy alliance, the deception of redemptive warfare has been clung to as if it were a life belt. Yet, ever since the time of Jesus the Messiah and prophets before Him many radicals (often persecuted and outcast) have questioned the morality of war. Now in the 21st Century generations are also rising up against the war machine among both the secular and spiritual sector of society. They recognise that war is for power, economy and pride, not justice or peace. Long may the voices in the wilderness be heard, as they prepare the way for the Lord, who when he comes again will be the undoing of evil and the establisher of a kingdom not of this world that will live in peace forever!!!” Non Violence Conflicts Author:David Holdsworth
“Are you prepared to follow the Lamb whithersoever? The Lord does as He chooses. He dispenses miracles as He chooses for His own glorious purposes. He doesn't always give us what we asked for. He doesn't always give that healing and even when He does we still become sick and die eventually. Do we trust in His sovereign choices or trust only in getting what we want? Will we fix our eyes on the storm in this fading world or on the Christ of heaven?” HeavenHealing Author:David Holdsworth
