https://boxcast.tv/channel/yuyyyftbksyppzhnl3il?b=zt9kvyejse5fuwnp8b0z Pastor Wayne Edwards of the Heritage Baptist Church, Perry Georgia, USA,s continues his series of Sermons on Jesus Christ’s soon return. The service starts with a couple of minutes after clicking the link above. Pastor Wayne’s collected comments on the news below on this page, are a must read. They expertly highlight the dangerous times you (and my zoo) live in. They should leave you in absolutely no doubt that the return of Jesus Christ is imminent. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley PASTOR WAYNE WRITES: April 19, 2024  Dear Heritage Family, According to a 2022 Pew Research Center survey, 55% of US adults believe Jesus will return to Earth, and 75% of Christians believe this will happen, but not in their lifetime. However, 39% of US adults believe humanity is “living in the end times”.   We believe that the return of Jesus Christ is imminent, that is, His return could occur at any moment. Like the apostle Paul, we are looking for “the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). We also believe the rapture of the Church will occur seven years before the return of Jesus Christ, and that it is the next event on God’s prophetic calendar. The apostles also believed in the imminent return of Christ, but rather than sitting down and waiting on that blessed day, they seized each day and dedicated themselves to the Lord’s work. In effect, they lived each day as if it were their last, and if we truly believe in the imminent return of Christ, so should we. This Sunday, we continue our doctrinal series of sermons under the title: The Church: The Pillar and Ground of Truth. The title of this sermon is: “The Imminent Return of Jesus Christ.”    The sermon study…

PLANETS AROUND THE STARS – IS THERE LIFE ON THEM?

PLANETS AROUND THE STARS – IS THERE LIFE ON THEM?

I am pleased that my readers enjoy these articles which are written primarily for kids. They are also popular with adults, who find them easy to read and most educational.. This monkey finds it hard to understand how the Christ hating Mr Darwin managed to trick so many into believing his unworkable theory. The Universe is beyond the understanding of finite minds, and is magnificent display of the workmanship of an Almighty Creator.

Gibber! Gibber! Chugley Creation for kids—Planets around other stars: Is there life on them by Jonathan Sarfati Published in Creation 44(4):32–35, 2022 Our star, the sun, has eight planets and many other smaller objects. All of these make up the solar system. But what about all the other stars—200 billion in our galaxy alone? Could they have planets—called extrasolar, i.e., outside our solar system? In other words, could stars have their own stellar systems like our solar system? But they are so far away. How could we detect planets around them? After all, they would be much smaller than the stars they orbit. And they would not produce their own light; instead, they would reflect light from their star. Detecting extrasolar planets The first confirmed extrasolar planet was discovered as recently as 1992. Now there are over 5,000 confirmed extrasolar planets (‘exoplanets’). How do we know? Some planets have indeed been seen directly from their reflected light. But this is rare because the glare of the star usually overwhelms the faint reflected light. The most common detection is when the planet moves in front of its star, or ‘transits’. The planet is much smaller than the star, but…

ISRAEL REPORT

ISRAEL REPORT

Since this report was written by Mike Claydon Iran launched a drone and missile attack on Israel. Mike has just sent a STOP PRESS message, at the end of his editorial below, In spite of much hysteria, it appears that the Iron Dome system destroyed 99% of the drones and missiles, causing little damage. I urge my readers to continue praying for God’s own Nation and for the Peace of Jerusalem, Surely the Lord must be close to returning for His own. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley Israel Report Biblical Prophecy …Today’s News…… Israel Report Saturday 13 April 2024 “Conspirituality” “Conspiritualists” apparently share a conviction that enlightenment exists in a dimension that is separate and above politics, science and other mundane human concerns The unbelieving, [soon to be believing one way or another] have now grasped this word to describe a huge section of the Christian church who ended up with egg on their faces at the end of this week. Why?? Because a vast number of online ministries set aside all the red light warnings of coming prophetic fulfillment and instead concentrated on a bridge collapse in Baltimore, a barge accident in Canada, an eclipse passing over a few towns named “Nineveh” on the American continent, and a Hadron Collider whizzing around the Swiss border in search of a “God Particle“. These were, apparently, signs from the heavenlies that divine judgement, economic collapse, civil conflict, martial law, the rapture and God knows what else was about to descend on an unsuspecting planet. Of course, there is a difference between “predictive” speculation and so-called prophetic utterances supposedly from heaven itself. The problem here though is that many were claiming they were clearly shown that these were genuine spiritual ‘signs‘ to be accepted as warnings to mankind – and many went further and…

https://boxcast.tv/channel/yuyyyftbksyppzhnl3il?b=h3h9jzj4uyx6o0yaibvp I am so grateful to receive Pastor Wayne Edwards’ sermons, here is the latest in his current series, “The Church, the Body of Christ”. These sermons stand out in these troubled times with profound and sound Gospel insights. I thank my readers for their encouraging comments. The Service begins at 25 minutes, click link above. Notes on the news follow. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley PASTOR EDWARDS WRITES: April 5, 2024  Dear Heritage Family, In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul referred to the church as the body of Christ several times. He used the metaphor of a “human body” to relay significant truths about the church and to help believers understand the need for both unity and diversity within the church. In 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, the Apostle Paul wrote: “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free, and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.” The church is called the Body of Christ because Christ is the head of the church, and those He called to be saved He also called to serve. The Holy Spirit enables each believer with a unique spiritual gift, and when those gifts are merged together, the mission of “The Church” reflects the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ.  This Sunday, we return to our doctrinal series of sermons under the title: The Church: The Pillar and Ground of Truth. The title of this sermon is: The Church: The Body of Christ.  If you view the sermon on our website, www.the heritage church.org, you may click on the…

My thanks again to Mike Claydon for sending another in depth Israel Report. Israel is God’s timeclock regarding end time events. Events are coming at an increasing pace and my readers deserve to be informed with up to date information. To subscribe to the Report e-mail Mike at the address at the end of this report. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley Israel Report Biblical Prophecy – Today’s News…. APR 05, 2024 A Burdensome Stone for all People…. As the global media rage and whine about the injustices Israel is inflicting on the residents of Gaza, Judea and Samaria, Syria and to a lesser extent Lebanon, the vast majority of global citizens now see Israel as a dominant aggressor and a power hungry nation out to confiscate land that is no longer theirs. One by one Israel’s supporters are distancing themselves from the conflict and again demanding that Israel stop short of a military victory. Many intelligent and sober minded commentators, some amongst western military leadership, are viewing the developing war and seeing the possibility of a widening theatre which will soon engulf the entire region – and could also be the spark that ignites a world war between the USA, her allies, and Europe against Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China. As Ramadan 2024 comes to an end today all bets for a peaceful outcome are most likely off the table as the din of war increases each day. As an example, a Colonel Douglas Macgregor, a 28 year veteran with the American army, was recently interviewed during which he raised the following questions; Did Israel let October 7 happen on purpose, how the Israel political lobby controls the narrative, will Netanyahu attack Rafah and Hizbollah, will Turkey become involved, how this war affects Russia, China, Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq, and why the future…

Commanded to be Fishers of Men

Commanded to be Fishers of Men

Comments 3 comments

Bud Hancock draws some parralels between Jesus’ command to His disciples and His command concerning the Church today. As all my contributors are saying “The time is short, the hour is late!” Gibber! Gibber! Chugley Commanded to be Fishers of Men By Bud Hancock Introduction When Jesus the Messiah began His earthly ministry, He chose certain men to become His original twelve disciples. Though some may believe those men were simply His comrades, His traveling companions, there is much more involved in His selection than simply having nice guys to chum around with. According to the Merrian Webster Dictionary, a disciple is (1), a person who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another; (2) an adherent of a school or an individual. The word adherent is interesting since it suggests a close and persistent attachment. The twelve men chosen to become disciples became so devoted to their Lord and Saviour that they would have gladly given their  lives for Him. The Twelve were a mixed bag of men from different backgrounds and pursuits; none were highly educated, with the possible exception of Luke who was a physician and a Gentile. Perhaps Jesus chose each man for his distinctive abilities, or lack thereof. We do know that, at the end of His ministry, each man, except for Judas Iscariot,  was well-equipped by Jesus to complete the work assigned to him after His departure to return to the Father. Jesus ministered TO these men for three and one half years to enable them to understand their roles in the future ministry of Jesus THROUGH them. He made sure they saw His mighty works and acts of healing and other miracles, knowing that they would be enabled to do the same works, and even mightier, after His ascension to heaven. They…

Did Cain marry an intelligent animal?

Did Cain marry an intelligent animal?

Comments 0 Comment

One of the questions often asked by sceptics is “where did Cain get his wife?” because at the beginning there were very few people on earth. The answer is that Brothers and Sisters married in those days. This was before that was forbidden by God in Leviticus, because the human genome was starting to be corrupted after Adam and Eve sinned. By banning close marriages the passing on of “copying mistakes” was lessened. Subscribe to Creation Magazine and be informed click the link below: https://creation.com/magazines To read the author’s biography click on his name at the beginning of the article. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley by Andrew Sibley Writing in the February edition of Christianity Magazine (UK) David Instone-Brewer suggests that Cain was forced to marry an intelligent animal. In other words, a being with a human form and soul (Hebrew: nephesh; Greek: psuchē) that looked like him, but without a spirit (Hebrew: ruach; Greek: pneuma).1 He claims that like humans, animals possess souls which gives emotions and individuality, but they lack a spirit which gives the capacity for a personal relationship with God, and he comments that the Bible is consistent on this distinction.2 Cain had been driven away from Adam’s family after murdering his brother Abel and became a wandering resident in the land of Nod (Genesis 4). Here Instone-Brewer suggests Cain encountered these non-spiritual beings and took one for his wife. His further justification for the presence of non-spiritual people living at the time is that Cain formed a city, that Cain was fearful that someone might kill him, and that there were already people living in Nod for it to have been named. But are these valid arguments? Cain’s wife The answer is that Cain would have married a sister … And this seems the far more satisfactory explanation than proposing an elaborate narrative…

THE NINEVEH FACTOR: THE DEATH OF AN EMPIRE

THE NINEVEH FACTOR: THE DEATH OF AN EMPIRE

Comments 0 Comment

Bud Hancock makes a welcome return to my Blog with an article comparing the death of Nineveh and the Assyrian Empire, with the death of America. Bud makes some very keen observations as to how History is apparently repeating itself. Fasten your seatbelts for a bumpy ride. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley The Nineveh Factor: From Judgment to Destruction – The Death of an Empire By Bud Hancock From the Past…… The Assyrian Empire, with its great capital city of Nineveh, was the World’s greatest empire for several hundred years, from around 912 BCE to around 609 BCE, being led by various Assyrian kings who boldly displayed their barbarity and brutality after they had defeated an enemy; they were known to cut out their captives tongues, behead them and stack their heads in pyramid shapes near the gates of the captured cities. Their power decreased somewhat when they lost most of Syria after a disastrous campaign against Damascus in the year 773 BC. During the height of their power, they were led by Assyrian King Sargon II, whose brilliant military strategy carried his armies to numerous victories, but after his death in 706 BC, the victories were much more hard fought. The sheer size of the empire, along with intermittent internal civil wars, became a financial burden and the excessive wars had left the empire and its military weakened after a series of battles between Assyria and a major regional foe, Urartu, which later became a client state of the Assyrian Empire. Eventually, in its weakened state, the empire suffered a loss of much of its preeminence and it began to wane amid numerous attacks by a coalition of enemies, including the Babylonians, Medes and Persians, which further weakened the Assyrians; the Assyrian Empire never regained its original power, finally ending around…

THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Pastor Wayne Edwards continues to faithfully expound the Gospel of Jesus Christ. to listen the service click on the link above. As usual the news Clips are a faithful log of the surge in end time prophecies coming true at incresing speed. March 15, 2024  Dear Heritage Family, According to the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, most ‘Christians’ in the United States don’t believe the Holy Spirit is a real Person.  ·        Of the 69% of Americans who call themselves Christians, a majority (58%) “contend that the Holy Spirit is not a real, living being but is merely a symbol of God’s power, presence, or purity.” ·        For those who are self-identified, born-again Christians (about 35% of the population), “62% contend that the Holy Spirit is not a real, living being but is merely a symbol of God’s power, presence, or purity.” However, Jesus told us very clearly that the power to live as His disciple comes from the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Sadly, in most churches today, there is an absence of preaching and teaching on the person and work of the Holy Spirit, which is why the majority of Christians are struggling in their spiritual lives, and the majority of churches are so weak. This Sunday, we continue our sermon series on the Church as the Pillar and Ground of Truth. The title of this sermon is “The Presence of the Holy Spirit” The sermon study guide is attached as a Word document or as a PDF. If you view the sermon on our website, www.the heritage church.org, you may click on the sermon title on the second page and find the sermon study guide in another format.  The live stream will start at 10:00 AM.

Darwin, Marx, and two letters

Darwin, Marx, and two letters

Comments 0 Comment

by Russell Grigg I believe that the Darwinian belief system is at the root of the collapse of your human civilisation. Once you convince people that they arrived by chance, “Goo to you via the Zoo” it is really game over for rational thinking. Why not support Cration.com and their highly successful campaign to address this fraudulent concept? Click on the author’s name above to read his biography, below to access the Craetin website. https://creation.com/ Gibber! Gibber! Chugley Karl Marx (1818–1883), the founder of communism, called religion (meaning Christianity) “the opium of the people”. 1 He was enthusiastic that Darwin’s evolutionary theory (Origin of Species, 1859) provided a completely materialistic explanation of living things. Marx even sent a copy of Volume 1 of his book Das Kapital2 (published in German in 1867) to Darwin with the handwritten inscription: Mr Charles Darwin On the part of his sincere admirer Karl Marx London 16 June 1873 Modena Villas Maitland. Darwin is unlikely to have read it, however. Apart from being in German, only the first 100 pages had been ‘opened’. (Prior to the widespread use of printing guillotines, a book was generally sold ‘unopened’, i.e. with “the folding of its component sections still intact at the top and fore-edges”, and so the pages had to be “severed from their neighbours with the paper-knife.”3) Letter 1—the Marx-dedication myth There has always been a huge causal relationship between belief in evolution and disbelief in the Bible, disbelief in God, and disbelief in one’s need of the Gospel. It has long been thought that at a later date, Marx wrote to Darwin offering to dedicate one of the later volumes of his book to him. This is because a letter from Darwin, dated 14 October 1880, was found in Marx’s archives, and in it Darwin declines the offer of a book dedication….
