MONDAY & BEACH

Monday and Beach.
What has the monday after Resurrection Sunday got to do with beach?
Persons who have no share in the bounty of the Resurrection (but think they have cuz persons who shold know better have told them they have) and people who have been told you dont need to change your life now that you claim to have changed your heart (something prosperity and charismatic pastors love to teach) rush to the sea to do whatever is done at the beach in memory of the Resurrected Christ.

I'm not saying Beach (see, i evn made it big B) is bad for Christians (who am I to say that), I am only saying if they were Christians they would be home or somewhere worshipping God for killing and raising His Son for them rather than worshipping half naked bodies and the sand (is that what they really do?)
So these two groups (they who dont give a hoot about any Resurrected body and they who think its time to party more than the angels cuz of the Resurrection) flock to the beaches. I have the suspicion that there is a third group [when Christ rose hell burst open, every Christmas many 'people' come to town then get lost after, Easter may call the 'people' again - you get my drift?], but what am I but a fruitcake with a type pad!
So these three groups, or is it two, go to our beaches and leave us unadventurous folks at home or whatever wholesome activity we love to do in memory of His Resurrection (by then most have even forgotten whats so special about it that the Pastor was screaming his head off - but that is for those who attend Churches; another group wouldnt even know that He had to die for their sins in order to be Raised for their justification - this group only heard "since Christ is risen you dont need to be poor, you cant be sick, you can now travel to any country [they forget that such silly talk can make you also travel to Hell], and most of all you wont even die mpo).
When its evening then a new power of the Resurrection rears its head - a power no pastor talks about though it comes every year. The power of Transportation. Lorries, cycles, buses, feet all get active - some would ride goats if they can, anything to take them home. All non-station based cars go to the beaches making it almost impossible, no cancel the almost, impossible, yes IMPOSSIBLE for persons who didnt seek body-sand worship to go home. Its not so bad when you have to walk on our narrow foot paths with these sand worshippers too, at least they too bear the brunt of their worship.
Monday and Beach is a bad combination for a cocktail. I pray I am right, but hey I ask a lot, dont I?

Get Yourself Out.

Based on Genesis 12.1-5, the children of Nazareth Baptist Church, Santa Maria here in Accra, Ghana learn about what it means to believe. They get to know that believe isn't just an intellectual assent but a behavorial conformity. They are also taught that Abram believed God (Gen 15.6) and his believe led him to obey. Man can say 'I believe, I have faith, I trust in, I rely on' as many times as he can but as long as he doesn't change his actions he's a liar. The evidence that you believe is to obey. The evidence that you are saved is to follow. Apart from making my children memorise Gen 15.6 - "and Abram believed God," I also made them memorise "the only way to show you believe is to obey." I am sick of the form of Christianity that teaches children to be just morally upright and forgets to tell them that God isn't pleased with morally upright people, but rather He's only pleased with blood bought sinners. Its not enough to just tell th...

SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD, by Jonathan Edwards.

Their foot shall slide in due time. Deuteronomy 32.35. In this verse is threatened the vengeance of God on the wicked unbelieveing Israelites, who were God's visible people, and who lived under the means of grace; but who, notwithstanding all God's wonderful works towards them, remained void of counsel, having no understanding in them. Under all the cultivations of heaven, they brought forth bitter and poisonous fruit. Our text, THEIR FOOT SHALL SLIDE IN DUE TIME seems to imply the following things, relating to the punishment and destruction to which these wicked Israelites and all wicked men are exposed. 1. That they were always exposed to destruction: as one that stands or walks in slippery places is always exposed to fall. 2. It implies that they are always exposed to sudden unexpected destruction. 3. Another thing is, they are liable to fall of themselves, without being thrown down by the hand of another; as he that stands or walks on slippery ground needs nothing but...
