REFORMATION or ISLAMISATION? by Dr Peter Hammond

"Another generation grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor what He had done... They provoked the Lord to anger." Judges 2:10-11

The Crisis Confronting Us
Europe is in danger of falling to Islam. There is an urgent and serious need for a new Biblical Reformation and for a fresh Spiritual Revival. Only Christianity, true Biblical Christianity, can defeat radical Islam. Secular Humanism and Hedonism are no match for Islamic Jihad.

National Suicide
By rejecting Christianity, Europe is committing spiritual suicide. By embracing secular Humanism and welcoming Islamic immigration, Europe is committing cultural and economic suicide. By intermarrying with Muslims and building mosques and madrassas throughout the continent Europe is betraying future generations to bondage. The decline of Christianity in Europe is catastrophic.

Learning from History
History is repeating itself. As in the 15th and 16th Centuries, Europe is experiencing a renaissance of paganism and facing an aggressive Islamic expansionism that threatens Faith and freedom. Those who forget the lessons of history are doomed to repeat its failures. Guilt manipulation and Revisionism has neutralized Europe. We need to rediscover our history. As Karl Marx declared:"The first battlefield is the re-writing of history."

War Against God
Secularism, Humanism, Hedonism and Heathenism have gutted Europe, morally, spiritually and ethically, making it vulnerable to an Islamic takeover. As Alexander Solzhenitsyn declared, of Russia, in 1917: "We forgot God!"

Secularisation
The book of Judges tells us of "another generation" which "grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor what He had done" (Judges 2:10). We now have a secular society which has rejected the pleasure of worship and replaced it with the worship of pleasure.

Building on the Sand
Europe has a new generation who have moved away from the rock certainties of Biblical Christianity to the sands of relativism, evolutionism, situational ethics, relative truth, reincarnation, Harry Potter,The Da Vinci Code Hoax, The Gospel of Judas and the occult. Like Esau, they have sold their birth right for a mess of pottage. Now young Europeans are taught: "You come from nothing, You're going nowhere, life is meaningless!"

Rejecting Every Form of Evil

Hi Everyone.

Ephesians 4:25-32 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 “In your anger do not sin”:Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. 29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.



In this verse by verse study through the book of Ephesians, author and minister Rob Cartledge focuses upon Ephesians 4:25-32, and points out so clearly that Scripture declares that we should should reject every form of Evil. If more Christians rejected every form of Evil, there would be more shining examples of Christianity on the planet.

God's Image Bearers

Hi Everyone.


Ephesians 4:17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed. 20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.


In this verse by verse study through the book of Ephesians, author and minister Rob Cartledge focuses upon Ephesians 4:17-24, and brings to light truth related to the call on our lives to bear the image of our wonderful Creator Jesus Christ.

Are We Devoted?

Hi Everyone.


Rob challenges the Christian Status Quo, in relation to the kind of devotional life most of us as Christians have. He puts forward the bold question "Are we Devoted?" does our life truly belong to God or are we just saying it us but living a completely different lifestyle?

Halloween - Uncovering Religion



Hi Everyone.

In this sermon from the Uncovering Religion Series, Rob unveils the origins and sinister nature of the ancient festival of Samhain, which we now call Halloween. Rob asks the question, "should Christians partake in this festival?" 

We live in a day where the world is saturated with contradictory faiths and beliefs. Can they all be right? Are they all wrong? As Christians, it is imperative that we understand something of what these religions teach and believe, so that we can accurately discern right from wrong. "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." (Ephesians 5:11)

Grace Apportioned - Ephesian Study


Hi Everyone.

In this verse by verse study through the book of Ephesians, author and minister Rob Cartledge focuses upon Ephesians 4:7-10
But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore it says,
When He ascended on high,
He led captive a host of captives,
And He gave gifts to men.”
(Now this expression, “He ascended,” what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.)
