What's New? - Update for February 2012

Although this website has been online since 1998 it has been somewhat inactive since around 2007 but has recently been picked up again (as of January 2012). Apologies to visitors who may have been looking for new information and been disappointed. Admittedly, this website has been neglected. Most of my time and outreach efforts have been focused on YouTube where I have a channel called Shazoolo which has similar content to that which is found on this website. There is also a back up channel called MrShazoolo Please do visit both the channels, rate the videos, and subscribe. Spotlight Ministries is in the process of undergoing some changes in design and content so please bear with me as I move the furniture about and dust things off! Don't forget to check out the latest articles for February 2012 below:

Sign the Petition for Traditional Marriage in the UK

If you live in the UK please sign the petition for the preservation of traditional marriage in the link below. The government is having a consultation on this in March 2012 and it could redefine marriage for everyone in the UK.

This campaign by the newly formed Coalition for Marriage aims to get the government to sit up and listen to people who still believe that marriage is for one man and one woman. The petition only started on Monday 20th February 2012 and over 30,000 people have signed it already (as of 23rd Feb)! Very easy to sign. Just requires your name, an email, and your post code (however you must be over 16 years of age and be a UK resident).

While we still have some freedom of speech and religion in the UK we should act before marriage is redefined even further (even now some are talking about redefining it to include polygamy). This is not about denying same sex couples rights or equality as civil-partnerships have all the legal rights of heterosexuals. Rather, it is about the protection of traditional marriage from being utterly redefined. Please promote this petition on your Facebook, Twitter, blog, website etc. You can also download a paper copy where you can print up and take into your church. Go here to sign the petition: The Coalition for Marriage.

Christian Evangelism on the Internet?

If you are a Christian and using the internet for evangelism don't let anyone try and discourage you by telling you its a waste of time, or you wont change anyone. Such things are not true! I thank God that, over the years, He has saw fit to use theis website and the YouTube channel (Shazoolo) to see many, many people set free and a number have even had powerful conversions to Christianity!

Jesus said: "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. (Mark 16:15)

The internet is a mission field for Christians to reach out into. Let's use it to our full advantage while we still can! Soon, the world will try and silence us.

'...making the most of your time, because the days are evil.' (Eph. 5:16)

Jesus said: 'As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.' (John 9:3-5)
