A Christian Perspective on King Charles III's #Portrait The recent unveiling of #KingCharlesIII's official portrait by Jonathan Yeo has sparked controversy, with some claiming it contains hidden images resembling Baphomet when mirrored. As Christians, how should we respond? The Bible calls for discernment and vigilance (1 Peter 5:8) but also warns against paranoia. We must seek God's wisdom in interpreting such symbols while praying for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-2). This situation raises a broader question: how should the Church approach modern art with potential hidden messages? Balancing spiritual awareness with compassion and prayer, we can navigate these complexities without compromising our faith.

What season are you in? There is a time for everything. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 King James Version 3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

"HE WILL HOLD ME FAST" BY MATT-Q https://lnkd.in/gwFwyv89 "He Will Hold Me Fast" was originally written by Ada Ruth Habershon, a British hymn writer, in 1906. The music was composed by Robert Harkness, an Australian-born evangelist and musician. Shane and Shane, a popular Christian music duo, adapted the hymn, releasing their version in 2014 on their album "The Worship Initiative, Vol. 1." . The hymn was intended to provide comfort and assurance of God's steadfastness and faithfulness. It is vital to know the HISTORICAL CONTEXT of faith as well. This song underscores the essence of the Christian faith and the good news aka Gospel, that salvation is solely by faith in Christ and can never be earned by one's good works and self improvement efforts, which in itself, is already deeply offensive to the self-made individual who prides himself or herself as being the master of his/her destiny. A study of church history reveals how the understanding and.appropriation of the Word of God through the Scriptures has led to great ramifications in the lives of many as one will live one's life in accordance with what one believes. Much as the faith extols the overwhelming grace, mercy and sovereignty of God in saving us, it does not negate personal responsibility, accountability and working hard in dependence on the One Who has saved and continues to save those whom He has called. An unhealthy overemphasis on both ends of the spectrum leads to a theology of 'cheap grace' where one EITHER uses salvation as a 'passport' for getting to Heaven and the false assurance that one can live life anyway one likes without considering the consequences OR one reduces the faith to a set of human efforts of self improvement and 'moral choices' 'where God helps those who help themselves', which undermines the futility of one's efforts to save oneself. It then leads to believers becoming very legalistic OR very callous in the outworking of one's faith; both of which actually do not accurately reflect the holistic and wholesome balanced application of the good news aka the Gospel, which is why it is important to check, reflect, ponder and countercheck what one believes in. #hewillholdmefast #christian #christ #shaneandshane #gospel #matthewqueksingapore 

We all have the power to create change and make a difference in the world. But it's not enough to simply talk about it, we must take action. When we put our ideas into motion, we inspire others to do the same. Our actions become a catalyst for positive change. Who is with me? What actions are you taking to inspire a positive change today? Are you familiar with the Great Commission? The Great Commission refers to the assignment Jesus gave His disciples shortly before returning to Heaven following His resurrection. Matthew 28:19 NIV Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit 1 John 3:18 NIV Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
