Thank you in advance!Christian Entertainment?Kingdom of God Ministry & Missions2024-10-09 | Christians should ask 2 questions when considering entertainment. First, is our "entertainment" considered a sin (to God), and if the answer is no, then ask, does it glorify God?
Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things. (Philippians 4:8)
Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Keep thinking about things above, not things on the earth, for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ (who is your life) appears, then you too will be revealed in glory with him. So put to death whatever in your nature belongs to the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, shameful passion, evil desire, and greed which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience. (Colossians 3:1-6)

False Prophets Come in Sheeps Clothing (youth lesson)Kingdom of God Ministry & Missions2024-10-08 | Warnings about false prophets that Christians listen to, often in the church (or on YouTube). Matthew 7:13-29
Jesus advises those who are listening to him to… “Enter through the narrow gate, because the gate is wide and the way is spacious that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. How narrow is the gate and difficult the way that leads to life, and there are few who find it!
“Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are voracious wolves. You will recognize them by their fruit....
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven—only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. On that day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many powerful deeds in your name?’ Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!’...
If Love rejoices in truth, then love does NOT rejoice with ERRORS!

(Ephesians 4.4-6)
In order to understand God and His plan, all we have to do is to be able to count to one and understand the meaning of the number ONE.
There are not many ways to the one God. There are not many faiths that profess the one God. And, there is only one hope. There is one path to the Father who is God and Jesus is the only way to God. He is way, the truth, and the life.
The arrival of the lawless one will be BY SATAN'S WORKING with all kinds of miracles and signs and false wonders, and WITH EVERY KIND OD EVIL DECEPTION directed against those who are PERISHING, because they found NO PLACE IN THEIR HEARTS FOR THE TRUTH so as to be SAVED. Consequently God sends on them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false. And so all of them who have not believed the truth but have delighted in evil will be condemned. (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)

Thank you in advance!What does the Bible Teach about Resurrection?Kingdom of God Ministry & Missions2024-09-24 | There are 2 Resurrections separated by 1000 years. This first resurrection is for faithful believers, the second is to judge the rest of the dead who were not raised in the first resurrection. (They are judged by what they have done, not by faith).
Matt. 24. 29-31 “Immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
1 Thessalonians 4.13-18 “Now we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also, we believe that God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep as Christians. For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not go ahead of those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be suddenly caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so, we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
1 Corinthians 15.42, It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable.
1 Corinthians 15.50-53 brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
There is no “judgment” for believers. They are judged righteous when Jesus comes – raised from dead immortal, incorruptible, and those alive are changed from mortal humans to immortal humans in an instant.

#abortion #healthcareJUGGLING TRUTHKingdom of God Ministry & Missions2024-09-09 | The doctrines (teachings) of the Bible, and especially Jesus, are not balls in a juggling act that believers and churches can decide to juggle. If Jesus said, “it is written,” then it, all of it, was written for a reason, and none of it is disposable. It is all essential for a follower of Jesus and for a unified body.
Today this unified body is scattered around the world. Locally there is no one true “church,” organization, or denomination. We must endeavor to be unified with Christ and not put so much energy into trying to unify people who are not united with Jesus and his teachings, even if they agree that God is one. The demons even believe this and shudder, but they are not followers of Christ. Just believing does not mean following. You must choose to be obedient and to follow.
In Acts 8.12 we see the foundation of the faith and what one must understand and believe if one desires to be a follower of Jesus. (A follower of Jesus must follow Jesus, not just the name, but the man and his teachings.) If we are a disciple of Christ we believe and teach what he did.
Acts 8.12 says that “when they believed in Jesus,” which means not just that he existed, or even that he died for mankind, but they believed in what Jesus taught. This means that we must KNOW what he taught in order to believe it.
Who determines Christian foundational beliefs? I would think that the Bible determines this. God and Jesus determine what we should believe! Do we think that in Jesus’ sermon on the mount, that he would say that some of those teachings are not foundational or are optional for a believing Christian?

They are an amazing couple and team up together with the brethren in Pakistan to get the Gospel of the Kingdom and the truth about the one true God, the Father, and His human Messiah, Jesus, out to all Urdu speakers that they can.
Maryam is Haroon's helper and mouthpiece in English and together they are doing a great work, not compromising God's truths for money or numbers.
Please prayerfully consider how you can help in spreading these truths in Pakistan, and now in the UK as well. Please watch the full video so you too can better know Haroon's heart, integrity, and love of truth.

You can watch the full debate here: youtu.be/LqwhdZZpe0sUnity in Christ and in the ChurchKingdom of God Ministry & Missions2024-08-31 | What does it mean to have unity in Christ, or unity in the church? What does this look like?
The definition of unity is being together or at one with someone or something. It's the opposite of being divided. So how should this be applied to Christian believers, churches, and ministries?
How can we have oneness among believers if we are not in agreement in what we believe about the faith we have?
We must first be unified with Jesus before we can find unity with others. Unity among believers begins by believers being unified with Christ and his teachings!
UNITY STARTS WITH BELIEFS.
If we would preach, teach, and disciple people the whole of Scripture without leaving out what we think are non-essentials, those choosing to follow Christ would be unified and there would be much better unity in the church.

Philippians 4 shares how we can have God's peace that goes beyond our understanding, no matter the circumstance we are in. It doesn't say it will be easy, but it is possible!
How can we have this peace when we are in the midst of trials, struggles, and problems?
Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds[e] in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things. And what you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. And the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:6-9)

The one God monotarian (biblical unitarian) belief is the greatest commandment, but it doesn't give hope... (And even the demons believe that God is one! It isn't enough to just believe that God is one!)
The Gospel of the Kingdom is the seed that we should be sowing, and the rest will follow.
Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of me." Do we just talk about the cross or that Jesus was crucified, or that Jesus died for me, in a flippant sort of way without really considering his sacrifice and what he went through for us?
If we say that we embrace Jesus' sacrifice, we must embrace his Kingdom message and teachings as well.
Geckos’ incredible feet have special pads on their toes that can even grip glass. They can run easily across the floor, the wall, or the ceiling. Their toe pads not only adhere strongly to most surfaces, but they can peel off those surfaces very quickly. Their pads have tiny hair-like projections and can only be seen with very strong magnification. Special kinds of thin oils are manufactured and secreted to keep them clean, otherwise they would not work. This water-repellent cleaning fluid also helps to adhere and release their feet as they walk or run.
Did the Geckos feet perfect themselves over millions of years, or did God create them on day 6?

The woodpecker is incredibly designed. It has two toes in front and 2 in back so it can climb up and down trees right-side up or up-side down, and it uses its tail to help balance as a tripod. It is also amazing that between each peck the woodpecker’s eyes open to focus and then close under special eyelids that keep its eyes from popping out with the force of each peck. -- They also don’t get concussions because the brain is tightly attached to the inside of the woodpecker’s skull and there is also a shock-absorbing cushion between the beak and the skull helping to protect the brain. The tongue is also a great miracle. It has backward barbs so it can grab grubs burrowed into a tree and it even has a special “glue” on the tip of its tongue if a grub is too wiggly, which interestingly only sticks to its lunch and not its beak.
What did Jesus tell his followers to occupy themselves with until he returned?
Jesus told his disciples, which include you and me if we claim to follow Jesus, to go into all the world preaching and teaching what Jesus did and telling people to obey him. (Matthew 28:16-20)
Jesus said his purpose was to preach about and teach on what the coming Kingdom would be like. He told people to repent and believe this Gospel; and he commissioned his followers to do the same. (Luke 4:43, Acts 1:1-3)

The hummingbird is the smallest warm-blooded creature on earth and weighs less than a dollar bill when it is born. It has a specifically designed rotator cuff that allows its shoulder to rotate up to 180 degrees and it can move its wings in a figure 8 pattern. The hummingbird can fly backwards and upside down. Their wings beat from 720 to 5,400 times per minute when hovering, which makes the humming noise, and they can fly up to 200 mph! And this little flying wonder can also shake its head 132 times a second to get the drops of water off when flying in the rain, as well as rotating its head 202 degrees at the same time.
