    The world is a lying mess under the sway of the evil one who denies Jesus is God come in the flesh.
    If they can't get the basic things right, how then complex things. Some things are impossible to know, their devil god won't tell them the truth and is an active deceiver.

    3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

    I am not suggesting using a false narrative to spread the Gospel. However the affirmation or denial of global warming, aka climate change, will not change God's truth.

    My point is that the occurrence of extreme heat, fires, cold, rainfall, floods, is causing general concern. PREACH CHRIST to people concerned about their future to give them a living hope by the Gospel.

    What is true is that God has good reason to be angry with this generation, with its disregard for God-given human life. Use the news to preach the Gospel - as Jesus did -
    Luke 13:1 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”​

    And my point is the normal cycles of climate are being falsely reported as “extreme” and to use that false narrative as a foundation to present the gospel is dishonest.

    Preach the gospel. Forget everything else. Just preach Christ and Him crucified for our sins, raised from the dead, seen by more than 500 people alive, ascended into heaven and returning in glory.

    Don’t complicate the gospel with a false narrative. It can only distract, never help.

    peace to you

    As we have therefore opportunity,
    let us do good
    unto all men,
    especially unto them
    who are of the household of faith.
    Galatians 6:10

    The 4th bowl judgement of God makes the sun scorching hot with great heat.
    Mankind though continually refuses to repent, God's judgments on them are righteous altogether.
    If they refuse to repent, then terrible things will happen to them.
    That is really the message of the gospel and scriptures, that Jesus saves us from the wrath of God so that you will live forever with Him.

    Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood
    4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying:

    “You are righteous, O Lord,
    The One who is and who was and who is to be,
    Because You have judged these things.
    6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
    And You have given them blood to drink.
    For it is their just due.”

    7 And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.”

    Fourth Bowl: Men Are Scorched
    8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.

    Gen. 8:22 “While the earth remains,
    Seedtime and harvest,
    Cold and heat,
    Winter and summer,
    And day and night
    Shall not cease.”

    Gen. 9: 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

    While the earth remains!!
    I am concerned that in UK there is no call for national repentance and prayer from the church leaders. We abort babies, teach children lies about sex, hate refugees and those who help them, etc. Our Parliament allows the Prime Minister to tell lies, and ejects those who call him "liar." We voted for a racist government which is disastrously mismanaging the economy.....

    We have as a nation rejected God. God is warning us by plague and fire and flood - climate change. We are using the rainbow to teach evil instead of God's care for creation. God have mercy.

    The great concern of the ungodly is that man's physical activity - industrialisation and burning fossil fuels - is causing global warming. They want to continue in sin. Our concern should be that our sinful rejection of God's Law and Providence is causing him to express his disapproval in ways we can all feel.

    I have added a verse to my Habakkuk hymn -

    Fires, floods, plagues and drought,
    Sinful man's brought about;
    Scorns our needs by his greed;
    Now the earth is dying,
    Can't go on supplying,
    We must all repent,
    We must all repent,
    All repent of our sin,
    Trust in Christ our Saviour.
    ​
    The prophet Habbakuk prayed to the LORD about the rise of sin & injustice in the land. The LORD replied that the Babylonians would invade. The people would be in exile for 70 years. Habakkuk argued with God who assured him that the just would live by faith through the time of trouble.

    I wrote this hymn based on Habakkuk's prayer in chapter 3.

    Based on Habakkuk 3.
    1.
    God above, we have heard
    of your works in your Word,
    now revive in our day
    works of gospel power
    in this needy hour.
    In your wrath O Lord,
    In your wrath O Lord,
    In your wrath, yet in grace,
    Lord remember mercy.
    2.
    When God came to the land
    mighty power in your hand
    all your tribes marched with you,
    singing out your glory
    as they told the story.
    Mighty shouts of praise,
    Mighty shouts of praise,
    Shouts of praise filled the land,
    made the heathen tremble.
    3.
    Christ by signs led the way;
    fire by night, cloud by day,
    mountain heights, depths below
    could not stand before you,
    nations fell before you.
    So be warned, O earth,
    So be warned, O earth,
    So be warned all mankind,
    God is in his temple.
    4.
    Nations now spurn your Laws;
    all around, judgement falls,
    your redeemed on you call,
    keep us true & faithful;
    trusting, praying, watchful.
    May we watch and pray;
    May we watch and pray;
    Watch and pray every day,
    for our Lord is coming.
    5.
    Evil men rule the lands;
    they despise your commands;
    plundering all the earth,
    now the crops are failing
    poverty prevailing.
    Yet I will rejoice,
    Yet I will rejoice,
    I will joy in the Lord,
    God of my salvation.

    Written for a sermon on the prophecy of Habakkuk. Verses 2 & 3 sing of Habakkuk's recounting God bringing Israel into the promised land.​

    Verses 4 & 5 apply the song to our present situation.

    Yes, the LGBTQ subversion of the rainbow promise of God is evil. I am also convinced this nation is under God's condemnation and judgement, and that is why all the weirdness is going on with people everywhere. Covid also is a judgement from God. God uses means to bring things about. He gives nations and people's over to reprobate minds. to work all sorts of unseemly evil things. People are also unreasonable in their thoughts, you with a sound mind can not make sense of their irrationality, because it is demonic doctrines of demons.

    But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
