Welcome to Bread and Nuggets
If you were to ask me for a Statement of Faith it can be summed up in six words from the Apostle Paul: one Lord one Faith one Baptism. The Lord Faith and Baptism Paul speaks of can only be found in the LORD Jesus Christ.
It is very clear there is much confusion regarding religion and faith. Bread and Nuggets will hopefully remove the uncertainty many now face in our ever-changing and complex world; show the Bible in an uncomplicated way, and point to the one voice and message found all through the Scriptures. These are short reads written with you in mind.
While most of the articles will look at Scriptural topics, you will also find some history on Israel and the Church, and a few comments on current events. But the underlying reason for this stage is for the telling of truth about the LORD and His Christ so you may find the true path to God and the freedom you seek. I am honoured to be offered a place on this wonderful site to the glory of JESUS: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, creator of all. Enjoy.
A servant in love and peace,
James

In general, Western culture is American culture. It slipped into western consciousness and practise its roots firmly planted in the Second World War. It came by way of movies and television, literature and music; progressed with clothing, food, and beverage brands, American franchises now govern the market, and American sayings are now commonly heard around […]
Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.

… Then the Devil comes and takes the Word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. (Luke 8:12) It was Charles Baudelaire who wrote the devil’s finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist, and when we look at the state of the world today it’s clear he’s […]
Early in the morning of the 7th October 2023, Hamas launched numerous rockets aimed at the State of Israel, many managed to evade their defences causing damage and loss of life.
