A Sermon by the Rev Robert West, 25th December 2012.And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins”. Gospel of Matthew 1: 21 King James Version Easy Read Please see also the context in Matthew 1: 18-25. “18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. 20. But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take to you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21. And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. 22. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23. Behold a virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:25. And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn Son: and He called His name JESUS”. The Gospel of Matthew chapter 1, verses 18-25. The Danger of MAINSTREAMIslamic Takeover in Britain
COALITION GOVERNMENT STOPS FREE DEBATE ON PROPOSAL TO RESTORE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.In one of the most worrying developments of recent times the new Coalition Government, of Conservatives and so-called Liberal Democrats, has blocked a House of Commons debate on reforming the divisive section 5 of the Public Order Act (1986) which has been used, in several recent high profile public cases, to suppress freedom of speech and expression, especially for Christians who criticise Islam, or who regard homo-sodomy as a sin; and who have said such in a public context, not in their own homes. Soviet Britain? Panicked Atheists Startled by the Prospect of Intelligence and Design in Schools.David Attenborough and Dick Dawkins have, among others, become panicked by the mounting evidence for intelligence and design - as a viable scientific theory of origins - in schools; and have issued calls for its teaching to be banned from educational forums, especially schools, where young people (and their teachers) might find it more than a little persuasive.

A Letter to: Mr Richard Brasher Chief Executive, UK Operations TESCODear Mr Brasher,
I wish to protest in the strongest terms against your charities policy to support 'gay pride' perversion. It is also outrageous that TESCO should succumb to Islamic demands in providing halal meat products. Consequently, I will be encouraging your customers to shop elsewhere. The attached documents outline the basis of my complaints. In the wake of the Prime Minister's call to defend the 'values and moral code' of the Bible, I too would remind you that our Christian heritage rules out both homosexuality and Islam. We promote both at our peril. Yours faithfully, Dr Alan C. Clifford ______________________________ The Revd Alan C.

CHRISTIANS rejoice in the benefits they receive in the knowledge they have of Christ Jesus. This knowledge is both intellectual and experiential and gives them a lift in all the perspectives that they have in their experience of the trials, temptations - and joys and blessings - of this life. As Great Britain, even the whole world, heads towards an economic depression (or worse); as evil men wax or grow worse and worse; as political and Church leaders seem to fail us and fail Christ the King; the genuine Christian does, and can, look up to the supreme head over all things to the Church (Ephesians 1: 22), even the great God our Saviour, Christ Himself (Titus 2: 13). DEFEAT FOR MAHOMET-HOUSE IN DUDLEYAn application to have a Mohammedan Super-Mosque built in Dudley to be named “The Pride of Dudley” has been unanimously turned-down by the Dudley Development Control Committee which described it as “characterless”, “featureless”, “inappropriate” and, most appropriate of all, “an alien feature.” A similar Mahomet-House proposal has also been turned down by Maidenhead. God is still at work in Britain! Slipping Evangelicals.
The “open” evangelical camp, there, has become something almost of a wasteland.
The “open” camp seem to be in the majority but they have made far too many concessions to heathen thought in what is an always futile attempt to appear relevant to the present age, which is passing away (1 Corinthians 7: 31). The same temptation faced many evangelicals in the late nineteenth century. That began the slide to theological ‘liberalism’ and then to extreme ‘modernism’; both being in varying degrees a denial of the faith, whilst beguilingly keeping many of its words and terms. |
