Part 2. The fatal human trait of blaming others for the things that go wrong in our lives, will always leave us at the mercy of others. Blaming others is not empowering; it traps us in failure rather that building our character. The solution is short term and often painful... we need to take responsibility for our life and the outcome of our choices, especially when they go wrong! The Bible offers a perfect solution and with lots of help along the way.

Prayer and Fasting. Fasting is a form of self discipline... exercising personal humility Prayer is a form of self discipline... exercising spiritual humility

On 14th June 2020 Pas Brad gave a talk titled Why Do The Heathen Rage. This is part 2 of that topic. The PDF notes are posted in the "resource / articles" area of the brf.org.au website. The natural position of 'non or anti-Christians' is to rage against God's laws and principles, despite them giving humanity the best opportunities for a fair and sustainable life. The more they rage, the worse life becomes for the free world, with one failure leading to another. Sadly, yet predictably: the human race never learns from its mistakes. Pride and ignorance always lead to the failures that the past generations also suffered.

Part 2. There are two main identities that God reveals about himself when dealing with us on a personal level. The first identity he takes on is "Father" and the second main identity he takes on is "Friend". God takes on these identities so he can be better visualised and easily understood. These identities make it a lot simpler to know how to approach him and what to build our expectations upon. The salvation message of repentance, water baptism and the receiving (anointing) of the Holy Spirit gives us new status, or a fresh start.

The world is full of fake news and fake gospels. We can't always fact check the news, but we can always fact check the salvation gospel and its content: by comparing the Bible with the works God is doing with his people.

The response by Jesus to the questions asked by His disciples regarding the signs of the end times.

Part 2. It should not be surprising that the church of God is structured on the same principles as the family unit. Almost all the benefits and challenges of a family are also part of church life. The Bible offers some wonderful insight.

The differences between King Saul and King David can teach us a lot about ourselves. Having good intentions and actually performing them require different approaches. Thus, the salvation and overcoming message in the bible, teaches us how to make better spiritual choices, because it shows us how to think, then how to act.

The scriptures instruct us that we should know and understand God. Whilst there are many aspects of God's nature that are made clear in the Word, this talk focuses on righteousness, justice and steadfast merciful love. These attributes are described together a number of times in the Old Testament, and correlate with many instructions in the New Testament. There are significant implications for us here and now, whether or not we are already Spirit filled.
