THE UK - STILL a blessed nation.

[mrhappy3]

I have travelled to around 25 countries, but I always wind up missing England....don't know why.........but their is a liberty in this nation.......it may have gone far from its Christian roots, but their are still plenty of believers about out of the people I meet on the streets, who KNOW the Lord but don't neccesarily belong to any particular group. Call them mavericks, just doing thie own little bit for the Lord. The reason why God has not brought his hand down strong here, I believe,THE COUNTRY IS A GIVING NATION, one of the most generous on the earth. The day we stop giving, thats when his hand will lift. He is showing grace here. Waiting for his bride to truly come home.

England is a great and beautiful place, amidst our riots and highest in europe teenage pregnancy rates........coming HOME is just that. HOME.

Of course, its lost stuff over the years, my old school cockney heritage for one....but in GENERAL the people have big hearts.

May the LORD bring revival again. To a small country that gave so much, and continues to do so. If only the people that live here or get to live here realise and never forget, what goes on in some nations......then they wouldnt abuse it.

Everyone wants to come here. why?, cause we care. I am grateful to be English.

Mr.Happy3 might be ‘glad to be English’ but this may not always be the case when they play against Australia in cricket.

Even though the UK has joined the EU, at least the poms had enough sense to not to go all the way by keeping some control over their currency etc – could be a good move that might just possibly keep them out of many of the ongoing and growing woes within the EU quagmire.

 

[mrhappy3]

LOL - well said mate and your right.....that (euro thing) is a total mess right now.

As for cricket, we have improved, still behind you lot though over all.

Bless you sir

England may still be a good place, but it's not as good as it used to be, and it's heading in the wrong direction, rapidly.

I was born in London, and branches of my family have lived in London since at least the 1700s, and I still remember my neighbourhood vividly, but I don't think I would even recognise it as England today.

Let's be clear, the reason Labour threw the doors wide open and let in millions of immigrants to our tiny overpopulated nation, is because they know that about 80% of immigrants vote with the LEFT. Yes, staying in power is what it was mostly about, plus some Liberal guilt.

The BBC (the propaganda wing of the Labout party) has brainwashed the nation. Privacy does not exist. Your home in no longer your castle. The government is invasive and intrusive in every area of our lives. Far more than in almost every other nation on earth, including communist ones.

Now it is too late. What's been done can not be undone, and the future looks bleak indeed. England is well on her way to be a third rate European nation with riots, unemployment, poverty, and crime, lots and lots of crime. And you're not even allowed to defend yourself if a burglar attacks you and your family in your own home!


peace,
Simon

The difference between the United Kingdom (UK) England, Great Britain (GB) and the British Isles

Interesting website. The UK or England?

 

[Simon Peter]

The UK or England?

Well that's partly why I only spoke for England. I'm English. I have visited Scotland, lovely country, but have never lived there.

That said, the whole UK is affected by the political climate, and unless Scotland gains independance (I hope not, but wouldn't blame her) she will go the same way as England.

peace,
Simon

Good assessment, but a few trips to the lake district and cotswolds, and out of the cities and into the country areas, soon bring back the good vibes. We may have lost much, but we have also retained much. The world is on the verge in my book, survival of the fittest. Jobs come and go at a rate of knots, hardly worth losing sleep over, best to just get closer to our Lord.....the NEVER changing one.

I ate at a Burger King in England once, but that's as far as my experience goes.

I think the love you have for your country is admirable. In such a negative atmosphere as politics and even religion can be, it's a refreshing change to hear someone say something lovely and appreciative.

My sentiments towards the United states are very much the same.

I believe that the seven churches in Revelation unfolded in a timeline...

Ephesus - Apostolic - Jerusalem
Smyrna - Martyrs - Antioch
Pergamos - Orthodox - Constantinople
Thyatira - Catholic - Rome (Note - The spirit of Jezebel is to control and to dominate)
Sardis - Protestant - England (Thinks they arrived... Well thought so anyway)
Philadelphia - Revivals - England (Started with the dear John Wesley)
Laodicea - Materialism - United States

So I think that England mothered two of the churches of Revelation. I think these are the reasons that such a small island became so blessed!

 

[mrhappy3]

Very kind for pointing that out.

I have been down several times visiting my cousin in Kilburn and it does indeed seem to be as extreme as you say.

Do you think there's a solution or is it too late?

I wonder if the congregations who resided within these seven cities said “Oh well….let’s not worry about these things, there meant for the churches in the centuries to come.


PS: I was just trying to find something to say so that this topic (and a few others) could be bumped.

Amen it does take being away for us to appreciate what we have here.

I shed a couple of tears when I returned to the UK after spending some time in Germany. I loved Germany but I missed home.

To clarify... are you talking about ALL immigration or the recent immigration of the last 10 years or so?

I think it is too late.

There's a slim chance that the trend could be slowed and mostly stopped, by it's unlikely now. There's not the will, and you are branded a 'racist' for even suggesting such things.

Well the doors were thrown wide open by the Labour party during their 12 years under Tony B.LIAR. And Cameron seems unable or unwilling to tackle the problem.

Prior to Blair immigration was much too high IMHO, but not nearly as out of control as it has become in the last 15 years.

I have nothing against controlled enforced reasonable immigration. Perhaps something like Australia practices.


peace,
Simon
