UKIP Grab Council Seat In Sevenoaks.

UKIP has achieved another set of remarkable local council by-election results all over the country, winning a seat in Sevenoaks, Kent.
Among the host of encouraging results, UKIP secured 24.6% of the vote in Wombwell, Barnsley, 32.2% in Storrington, West Sussex and a winning 35.7% in Crockenhill & Well Hill in Sevenoaks where Steve Lindsay was elected as a UKIP Councillor, ousting Labour.
Commenting on the UKIP gain, Party Leader and UKIP's MEP in Kent Nigel Farage declared that "anything is possible in Kent" following the party's by-election victory in Sevenoaks.
Mr Farage, who himself lives in Kent, said the result was a "clear demonstration of how UKIP take support from across the board, not just disaffected Tories."

Grace. Alive in Christ = Dead to Sin.

http://global.christianpost.com/news/alive-in-christ-dead-to-sin-104591/

By Joyce Meyer.  God's grace is amazing! We're saved by grace – God's undeserved favor – and we live by grace, which is also God's power in our lives to do what we could never do in our own strength. And it's all because God is love, and He loves us unconditionally, constantly and completely. Christian News.

'In It Together' - Matthew D'Ancona.

The Prime Minister told an ally: “If I’d known what it was going to be like, I wouldn’t have done it” after his relationship with grassroots Conservatives and some backbenchers deteriorated over their upset at the legalisation of same-sex weddings.
How do you see this, dear reader?
If I may paraphrase our noble PM:
'I fort there woh summat in it for us, innit? But there weren't - so I'm not happy.'
Please note the total absence of the moral issue involved and the 100% non-Christian response from someone claiming to be a believer!

Fracking - The Truth. Well Done UKIP.

I spent yesterday with one of the world's top six experts on fracking. As he is now retired and certainly not held in thrall to the giant oil companies, he has no axe to grind on the issue - and not living in the UK any more - he is able to be 100% neutral and objective.
He made the following points:
There may be some cosmetic damage to the landscape but on a relatively tiny scale compared to the huge advantages.
The technology has been available and used successfully for many decades.
The 'frightener elements' used by the antis are total hogwash.
There are two types of fracking - one is 'the shallow version' which can allow insignificant amounts of land movement BUT ...
The type to be used in the UK is 'deep fracking' - where land movement does not occur AND is a considerable depth below the water table which ends all possibility of damage to it.
I asked him if he could think of any reason at all why the UK should NOT follow this path and his response was an unequivocal 'NO!'
He also explained to me the niceties of horizontal drilling which means that so much more can be extracted than by the vertical methods.
UKIP 6 - So-called Greens - 0.

Face To Face.

Nigel Farage may have to be let in to the 2015 general election TV debates, David Cameron's former communications director has said.
Andy Coulson conceded that the Ukip leader had a "bit of a point" when he argued victory for his party in 2014's European elections would make excluding him impossible.
The prime minister's former top spinner said in order to see off the threat from Farage, or "Mr Mirage", the Conservatives should challenge him to a head-to-head debate before 2015.

Salvation Miracle.

God used stalled car to lead Muslim to Christ
Mounir is an Egyptian Christian living in Southern California. One day his car stalled on a busy freeway in Southern California. Upset by this unscheduled delay in his plans, he called the Auto Club for roadside assistance.
They sent a truck driven by Muhammad, a recent immigrant from Iran. Unable to get the car to run, Muhammad hoisted the car on the back of the tow truck.
As they rode together to a service station, Mounir asked, “So, how are things going in Iran?” Muhammad launched into a litany of problems and concerns plaguing his former country.
After listening for a bit, Mounir said, “I don’t really know much about this terrible situation, but the one thing I really DO know is that Jesus loves you.”
Mounir then shared his dramatic testimony with Muhammad. He told the young immigrant how Jesus appeared to him as he lay in bed at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Southern California after having his entire cancer-ridden colon removed.
In the depths of his fear and concern over his health, Mounir awakened to see a bright light enter his hospital room. It was Jesus, the one known as Issa in the Quran!

Peaky Blinders - Review.

Three episodes into the new TV drama Peaky Blinders, I am still unsure what I think about it.
It does contain classic modern mumbling; scenes where the characters cannot be readily identified; others which take place in virtual darkness so as to add to the general confusion.
(Modern techniques really do STINK! - They aren't even clever!)
The story is heavy-handed and improbable. The music from the second decade of the 21st Century slots neatly into the post World War One context - NOT!
Still, it has enough going for it for me to watch the final three episodes - possibly.

Bloom's Departure: Damage? - No, Probably Relief.

Bloom’s body blow to Ukip?
From: David Quarrie, Lynden Way Holgate, York.
What a shame that the Ukip conference and leader Nigel Farage’s speech were so diluted by the irresponsible action and words of the Yorkshire and Humber MEP Godfrey Bloom. This silly man opened his mouth and flayed his arms about, before engaging his brain. So many people are now hoping that at long last, via Ukip, this sad nation of ours might get its greatness back. In themselves, what Bloom did and said were not that bad, but the damage to the credibility of the whole party was immense.
In these grim days of political correctness, all politicians should know that their critics and foes are longing for gaffes like Godfrey’s. Hopefully time will be a great healer, and Farage and co can lead us to a far better future. Yorks Post.

Martyrs - Welby Is Spot On!

Archbishop Justin Welby’s choice of the word “martyrs” to describe the 81 Pakistani Christians killed when their church in Peshawar was targeted by suicide bombers has raised eyebrows. It is the sort of language avoided nowadays in the secular, sceptical West, with its taken-for-granted religious freedoms, in case it makes people feel uncomfortable.
Yet in terms of Christian history the Archbishop of Canterbury’s description is surely accurate. These 81 worshippers at All Saints Anglican church, a 19th‑century colonial legacy in the Kohati Gate district of the city, died because they insisted last Sunday on practising their faith, as martyrs in all religions have done through the centuries.
In contrast to some of the more high-profile Christian martyrs, though, they were going about their religious practice quietly and without fuss, as befits a minority community of just 2.5 million (or 1.5 per cent) in a nation of 175 million that is overwhelmingly Muslim. They weren’t evangelising. They weren’t discussing missions to convert Muslims. And they weren’t falling foul of Pakistan’s strict blasphemy laws. They were simply, in the archbishop’s words, “testifying to their faith in Jesus Christ by going to church”. Telegraph.

Punjab Attack.

pakistan
A Christian man was attacked with an axe and another was beaten by locals apparently jealous of their business success.
Nadeem Masih, 24, was attacked last week at his home in Gloria Colony, a mainly Christian settlement in Sheikhupura, Punjab province. Five heavily armed local men set upon him, demanding the closure of his brother Waseem’s catering business. ‘Christians are only cleaners and poor,’ they said. When his mother tried to help Nadeem, who was badly injured, she was bitten. Police did nothing when the family sought legal action.
Two days later, the same five men allegedly attacked one of Waseem’s employees – apparently to deter Nadeem from pressing charges. Release Int.

FARAGE APPEAL

 
When the UKIP leader addressed the YouGov conference recently, his speech was monitored by a Dial Test. It was played to 1,100 people split evenly between supporters and detractors.
The supporters supported him 99 per cent. But interestingly, 42 per cent of detractors supported him as well, and 38 per cent of detractors had a more favourable view of the UKIP leader after they had heard him speak.
That sort of result is rare in politics, and suggests the main parties will bite their own tails off rather than let Nigel Farage into any leaders' TV debate.

IMMIGRATION FIGURES - GUESS WHAT?

However, the Public Administration Select Committee has said the figures are "little better than a best guess". They were based on interviewing 5,000 passengers at terminals.
Andrew Gilligan at the Telegraph comments, "the figure ministers use to show the 'success' of immigration policies may be inaccurate by as much as 50 per cent."

'Global Warming'.

The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), chaired by former Chancellor Lord Lawson, published a report today which argues the UK’s official climate projections, known as UKCP09, are incorrect.
Using research conducted by independent climate scientist Nic Lewis, the GWPF argues a flaw in the  Met Office's computer climate model means it is bound to predict fairly high warming in the UK whatever observational data is used.
The Government uses the Met Office predictions when it comes to building roads, managing water supplies and implementing design standards on houses.

Sin - One More Problem.

Too many evangelicals want to get the message across that 'God, through Jesus, will save us from our sin'.
We must recognise that in a secular world, the concept that humans are 'riddled with sin' is beyond the understanding of most individuals.
Why would people want to be 'freed' from something which they cannot even grasp as a concept?
Sin as 'the separating factor between Man and God' must be dealt with first because most people who claim to 'believe' are generally vague deists who think that good deeds outweighing the bad ones will earn them salvation.

Lest You Forget!

On January 1st, British borders will be open to nearly 30m Romanians and Bulgarians. Average earnings in these countries are one-fifth of the British average.
