Bloom Where Planted Until

The moment some are truly saved great desire comes upon them to do all for the Lord. They would sell all, give up all, move all, change all. But this passage in 1 Cor 7 teaches that ALL need not be the case, in fact, “bloom where you are planted” and do so at least ‘until’ such a times as you are prepared by God for the work he will reveal to you in time.

10Th Anniversary: Until he Comes

Until He Comes 9th August 2026 READING: James 5:7–11 7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in…

Pt 27: The Sanctity Of Marriage

The Sanctity Of A Marriage Pt 27 1 Corinthians 7:10–11 The Permanence Of A Marriage 10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.  1 Corinthians 7:12–14 The Sanctity Of A Marriage. 12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife…

Pt 26: Serve Without Hindrance

Pt 26 Serving Without Hinderance 26/7/2026 Beloved it is so vital to notice that every part of Paul’s communication with the Corinthian Church is one that has the eternal as its focus. In fact, there is almost nowhere to go in the scriptures where God is not more concerned for the eternal than he is for the temporal matters of life.  It is certain that the Bible presents the temporal matters of life as ONLY of value inasmuch as they affect…

Testimonies

Lives have been transformed by the Lord across the world for near two thousand years. Real people with real lives have gone from darkness to light in their own personal way. With most of these same lives we can all find something to relate to and we hear of their journey to Christ.
These are some from Hope Baptist Church.

Total Surveillance

How Total Surveillance Conquered The Last Sanctuary Of Human Privacy POSTED BY: MILAN ADAMS VIA PREPPGROUP JULY 27, 2026 PASTORS Note:  “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High” (Isaiah 14:13-14) The infinite advantage of being a…

Toward Revelation 13

All that we see occurring in the world today, from the building of enormous Data Centres through which Artificial Intelligence technology will search and provide ALL the information necessary to control the people of the world in that time, to the growing global hatred of Israel, to the rise of divisions with the nations of the world, the impoverishment of the civilisations of the world, the moral debasement of societies in the world and the deliberate distraction and dumbing down of the people of the world, is a part of that END GOAL that is Revelation 13.

Warning: Open Letter To I.B. Pastors

Clouds Without Water An Open Letter To Pastors Of Independent Baptist Churches Preface More than 2 years have gone by since the sedition of our Church on the 17th of March 2024. More than enough time to hope and pray for repentance should wicked men be permitted to see their evil for what it is. But when corruption is coddled by vain ministers, when the sin of the malevolent is mollified by wilfully ignorant pastors, when “the unfruitful works of…

Remembrance Day, But Have We Forgotten?

Remembrance Day, a day in which we call to mind those who paid the ultimate price for the liberties we have enjoyed, but for far too long we seem to have forgotten why the price was paid, how it was gained and what this world truly has to offer.
Vaccinated against Division

Vaccinated Against Division

Vaccinated Against Division 1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all,…
False Teachers

“I Have Not Sent Them”

I Have Not Sent Them Are All Pastors Sent By God? I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. Jeremiah 23:21 It was ancient Babylon that the idea of the infallibility of the priest was first identified. Alexander Hyslop makes mention of the Priests of the mystery religions holding peculiar knowledge and were held with an esteem that was above reproach. Sadly, the idea that a priest, prophet, king or…
