The judgmet says that European human rights law recognises the fudamental right of a man and woman to marry and to found a family" and "enshrines the traditional concept of marriage as being between a man and a woman. Abortion: NI launches consultation on weaker law A consultation in Northern Ireland on weakening the law to allow abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormalities and sexual crime has been launched. The Department of Justice is inviting comments on amending legislation, which currently permits abortion only if the mother’s life is at risk. The Justice Minister David Ford is recommending that the law is changed to allow abortion for conditions where the baby is not expected to survive beyond birth, and is asking for views on cases of rape or incest. Assisted suicide should not be legalised – Nick Clegg Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has said that he would not back measures to legalise assisted suicide Mr Clegg said he has observed how the law on assisted suicide works in different countries, including the Netherlands, where it has been heavily criticised. He made his views known at the Liberal Democrat Party conference in Glasgow this week. During a question and answer session at the conference, Clegg said that MPs should have a free vote on assisted suicide because it was “something of such profound personal conscience”. He said: “I am personally quite sceptical about the ability to capture what is a very, very delicate decision about when you endorse, under the law, the taking of someone’s life.” Cannabis does pose serious health risk, says major review Regular cannabis use increases the risk of mental and physical health problems, and may cause intellectual impairment, according to a review of studies over 20 years by a leading professor. US Supreme Court rejects traditional marriage appeals Same-sex marriages will be allowed to take place in five more states due to a decision by the United States Supreme Court. We welcome you this Lord’s Day Sunday 12th Oct The Year of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ 2014 11:30am Morning Service Speaker: Pastor Alan Hoey During this service the King of kings invites His children to examine themselves and to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. (The pancakes on the plate are gluten free and are suitable for people who are Coeliac) 6:30pm Evening Service Speaker: Pastor Alan Hoey Singer: Iris Evans Eve she listened to the lie. The devil said she would not die He promised her a better way, If she would eat the fruit that day. And so we see, he’s the same today He tells you, he has a better way But just as Eve found to her cost If we’re not saved, we’re forever lost But we have got good news today Christ died and paid for a better way If you will turn your back on sin And ask the Lord to dwell within. You will know your sins forgiven And you will one day enter heaven Thought for the week Jerusalem’s Future Glory Have you ever wondered why there is bitter hatred surrounding the nation of Israel and the city of Jerusalem in particular. Why does Islam desire to have Jerusalem as its holy city? Jerusalem is where the Dome of the Rock mosque was built in 637AD following the siege of Jerusalem by the Muslim caliph Abdul al Malik. Muslims teach that the location of the Dome of the Rock is the site where an Islamic miracle took place and it is also the spot from which the Islamic prophet Muhammad ascended to Heaven accompanied by the angel Gabriel. Furthermore they add that Muhammad was taken here by Gabriel to pray with Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. There is an inscription on the walls of the Dome of the Rock on a mosaic frieze that includes words from the Quran which are blasphemous to Christianity. This is the backdrop to the modern day mass hatred of the Jewish state. Satan has his agents at work in the minds of millions in order to drive the Jew out of Jerusalem and into the sea. But the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the one who determines the boundaries of satanic ambitions. No city is more treasured by the Lord than Jerusalem. The prophet Ezekiel said Jerusalem is set in the middle of the nations (Ezek: 5:5), and the prophet Ahijah called the Jerusalem, “ the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put my name there” (1st Kings 11:36. Likewise there is no place on earth that fills the Jewish heart with love and loyalty like the city of Jerusalem. Jewish exiles have prayed for centuries, “if I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill. If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth – If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy. (Ps. 137:5-6) In Zechariah’s prophecy he said, “I raised my eyes and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand”. (Zech.2:1) The phrase I raised my eyes and looked indicates that the prophet was experiencing a new vision. The third of eight visions received in one night. This measuring line was not just any line, it was a surveyors line held by none other than the divine Messiah of Israel. When Zechariah was receiving the surveyor and the answer through the interpreting angel it was at a time when they were struggling to build the city, It was then that God gave Zechariah four promises. (1) Prosperity (2) Protection (3) Population (4) Punishment In the final analysis (Read Vs 8-10) the prophet foresaw the day when God the father would send the Angel of the Lord – the Messiah – to accomplish all of this. In so doing the Messiah will prove God’s love and faithfulness in keeping His promises Isa 43 V 11 to Israel. When this takes place, God’s glory will be displayed through His wisdom and character. Jewish people are extremely precious to God. The fact is seen in Zechariah 2:8; “For he who touches you, touches the apple of God’s eye.” There will be singing in Jerusalem one day and in that day men will be silent before Jehovah. The enemies of God and Christ will be destroyed (2nd Thess 2:7 -12.) All Christians should pray for the peace of Jerusalem. (Ps 12:6) which will only come when the “Prince of Peace” is come. “Even so come Lord Jesus”.
