Are You Making Disciples?
The Great Commission Omission
Did Jesus command His disciples to go into all the world and make disciples?
If you find that in your Bible, please burn it, and Get a Holy Bible, the KJV for English speakers.

Nowhere in the Holy Bible does The LORD Jesus Christ command, or imply, that Christians are to make disciples.
If your “bible” has Jesus telling the first disciples to go and make disciples of all nations, it is a corrupted broken bible, fit only for the bonfire.
Here’s what the Holy Bible actually says, Mtt. 28:18-20 KJV;
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Did God Send Covid-19?
Q: Is Corona virus a punishment from God, like the plagues of Egypt in the Bible?
A: I suspect the legalists will seize the opportunity to draw that conclusion, but not exactly; it is another of the self-inflicted judgments, and curses, Adam’s progeny have brought on themselves, by persistent rebellion against The Truth.
In the same way that the emergence of HIV Aids, in the 1980’s, was emphasised by the legalist bandwagon to be; “God’s judgment on perverts and the sexually immoral”.
Baptised with Power
How to be Baptised in the Holy Spirit
Q: I have been searching for the answer of how to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. So far, I am only getting explanations of what it is. I have this burning desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit so that I can be effective in spreading The word. I feel like a horse being restrained at the starting gate. Jeff
A: Excellent, it’s easier than you imagine.
There’s one vital pre-condition; you must be born again. The Promise of the Spirit is only for God’s children, not Satan’s. (Lk. 24:49, Mtt. 7:9-11, Jn. 14:16-17.)
Salvation must come first.
If you’re saved, there’s no danger whatsoever, Father will give you what you ask.
However, if the unsaved try to receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit there’s a risk they will be deceived and receive a demonic counterfeit such as those manifested by “Charismatic Catholics”, and other cults.
The End?
A Subscriber asks;
Q: There’s a guy preaching the end of the world will be this year. Do you think it is that close?
A: No, you can be certain the End of the World definitely won’t come this year, but don’t take my word for that… take God’s.
Rites for the Dead
Q: Do Christians hold feasts to remember the dead? In Indian culture we give a meal for relatives of the deceased on the ninth, or fifteenth, day after the person dies. Does the Bible say anything about such practices? Raja
A: Thank you for asking a very practical question.
When you read the Bible, and pray, attending to the Holy Spirit, you will discover whatever you need to know to deal with every issue in life, including rituals, rites and ceremonies for the dead in any culture.
Christians Have Life: Not Religion
Under the New Covenant we do not have feasts or special events to commemorate dead loved ones, relatives, or ancestors.
Such religious practices are from the world, never from the LORD. (See endnote about the Lord’s Supper.)
The End of the World?
I Am The Beginning and The End
God’s word teaches that the Cosmos, including our tiny Earth, came into existence about six thousand years ago, and will be completely burned up soon, very soon. Holy Bible Gen. Chs. 1-2, 2 Pe. Ch. 3, Rev. Chs. 21, 22.
Our world is coming to The End because of man’s sin and rebellion against The Creator.
“Never mind, it’s not the end of the world”, is a popular idiom, usually accompanied by a compassionate hug from a loved one when there’s an accident or trauma in the home.
It means, “In comparison with The End of the World, this matter is of no significance, so let’s get over it quickly.”
“The End of the World” referred to, is the time when Almighty God in the Flesh, the LORD Jesus Christ, will return and Judge the world in righteousness.
The phrase has entered English usage because of Christ’s words in Matthew’s Gospel (Mtt. 13:49, 28:20) and His description of the prelude to The End given in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. Please read these chapters today. They will help you to understand your daily news.

Starting a Mission
Starting a Missionary Church
Q: Dear Colin, I am a young man with ambition, and a fine speaking voice. I intend to start my own Pentecostal church, and I would appreciate your advice.
I am unsure as to whether I should begin my mission via a website, or whether it would be best to first gather a suitable number of adherents – enough to sustain me. What is your advice? How did you start?
I wish to be certain that if I put my efforts into this undertaking, those efforts will not be in vain. My mission must sustain me from the start. Is $100k p.a. too much to start with?
Your advice would be appreciated. Tony from Australia
A: Well Tony, you are far wiser than I was at your age, I pushed Jesus away until I was 34 years old.
Guilty or Not Guilty?
Redeemed Guilty Saints?
Q: When we repent and admit our sins to God, and know that The Lord Jesus died for our sins to be absolved; does God remove our guilt of those sins, or do we become a guilty born again Christian? Warren
A: Thank you for a lovely question that demonstrates the Lord is drawing you to Christ. Ask Him to show you what His Redemption includes.
The Bible answer is majestic, more than any of us can imagine, and better yet; signed and sealed with the Blood of Christ.
In every sense, God has given us His Word.
Practical Christianity
Muting Christ
Matthew 25 is seldom mentioned in fellowships today, which is odd because it is The LORD Jesus Christ speaking eternal truth, with direct relevance considering the forthcoming Judgment when He returns.
Slumbering Virgins & Slack Servants
Chapter 25 has three passages, the first two are parabolic, where Christ likens the coming of God’s kingdom first to ten virgins, and then to servants entrusted with cash (talents).
Chicken or Egg?
A Classic Conundrum Solved
Q: What should Christians say when somebody asks them which came first; Chicken or egg? Does the Bible give any clues about this difficult question?
A: The phrase, “it’s a chicken and egg situation” is commonly used in English to denote a cyclical conundrum without end or beginning. The implication of the idiom is that you cannot have one without the other, ergo the question is unsolvable.
