Please folks, start to panic & worry even more as the sky is falling\u2026 again!\u00a0<\/p>\n
This new strain\u2026 ahh forget it. I\u2019m not going to waste time re-hashing what the media will use to try to create panic in the next few weeks \/ months about. And I won\u2019t predict the usefulness of any ‘vaccine’ or booster for this new strain. Nor will I go on about how many new strains there will be over the next few years & the accompanying new jabs 1<\/a><\/sup>at this stage they are not vaccinations. And they certainly are not immunisations. \u00a0<\/span> that will become available and then mandated.\u00a0<\/p>\n I want to take a different tack:\u00a0<\/p>\n Well done Aussies, Well done Christians!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Something unites the camps in this \u2018war\u2019. Although totally opposed to some of each other\u2019s stance, the MOTIVE for many is the same: Love for others.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 1 John 3:16-18 (NLT)<\/strong> We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion\u2014how can God\u2019s love be in that person?<\/em> \u00a0<\/p>\n You see, Christians have a responsibility to look out for and protect others – just as Jesus has commanded them to do 2<\/a><\/sup>John 15:12-14 (NLT)<\/strong>\u00a0This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one\u2019s life for one\u2019s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.<\/span>\u00a0<\/em>– especially the poor & marginalised. True Christians take this\u00a0very<\/em> seriously. In fact, it is an area that makes it possible to judge whether someone actually is a Christian (or just says \/ thinks they are) 3<\/a><\/sup>1 John 3:14-17 (NLT)<\/strong> If we love our brothers and sisters who are believers, it proves that we have passed from death to life. But a person who has no love is still dead. Anyone who hates another brother or sister is really a murderer at heart. And you know that murderers don\u2019t have eternal life within them.<\/em> All throughout history, Christians have obeyed Jesus, and stood up for the marginalised \/ oppressed. \u00a0In the current ‘Covid-19 climate’, it is the topic on every Christian\u2019s lips. So much so, it can be quite annoying! 5<\/a><\/sup>Who cares about Covid \/ Mandates \/ Government? Let\u2019s talk about JESUS! Let\u2019s get our focus off the issues and on to Him! He is in control & wants us to share the Good News with others, not operate in fear about a disease!<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n But the thread that under pins\u00a0every<\/em> conversation I have had with Christians on this issue is their love & concern for others. Every time. I know men who have gone completely against their desire and conviction, just to keep their family together (where the partner is totally in support of the jab). For many, it is\u00a0not \u2018just’ their immediate families or friends. Not just their circle of influence. Not just their communities – but others in general. Below are 3 common Christian positions on CoVid-19 (or other sickness): \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 1) Those who AGREE:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Some people who are fully convinced that the jab 6<\/a><\/sup> <\/span> is safe, effective and an acceptable response to this pandemic\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Dear children, let\u2019s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\nWe know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion\u2014how can God\u2019s love be in that person?<\/em><\/span>. Jesus Himself will judge those who think they are Christians based on their actions in this area\u2026#soberingthought! ??<\/span>4<\/a><\/sup><\/em>Matthew 25:31-46 (NLT)<\/strong> But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left.<\/em>
\n\u201cThen the King will say to those on his right, \u2018Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.\u2019<\/em>
\u201cThen these righteous ones will reply, \u2018Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?\u2019<\/em>
\u201cAnd the King will say, \u2018I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!\u2019<\/em>
\u201cThen the King will turn to those on the left and say, \u2018Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons. For I was hungry, and you didn\u2019t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn\u2019t give me a drink. I was a stranger, and you didn\u2019t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn\u2019t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn\u2019t visit me.\u2019<\/em>
\u201cThen they will reply, \u2018Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?\u2019<\/em>
\u201cAnd he will answer, \u2018I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.\u2019<\/em>
\u201cAnd they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.\u201d<\/em> <\/span>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
