Although atheism is rife in many countries, but worshipping God in a way He does not care for is also a problem. We must not be judgmental, which is God’s prerogative, but we cannot help seeing some of the differences between first century Christianity and that which exists today. Our first aim must be to […]

During our leisure hours we can fulfil some of our true “desires and pleasures” which are comprehended in the will of the Father; and as one grows more mature in the life of the spirit, the more active one becomes in the Father’s “business” until there is little time for anything else. Such time spent […]

“Upon this I awaked and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.” In the new creation of Jesus’ day of resurrection from the dead he awoke and beheld. Healed of his sacrificial wounds, he awoke to find … a “Bride” elect being prepared for the “marriage of the Lamb”, for which we are still […]

Jesus of Nazareth invested the tiny band that he called apart to testify to him and all he stood for with a staggering responsibility. Into all the world they were to go. Not with the hope of converting the world, but with the aim of creating and forming a redemptive society that would be as […]

Before Jesus made his deliberate choice of twelve men he spent the night with his Father. All the great events in his life find him or leave him in prayer. It is the natural expression of the dedication of one whose meat and drink was to do the will of Him who sent him, whose […]

God’s love in Christ, in its full measure, is offered not to those merely who are believing enough, penitent enough, reformed enough; it is offered to all those who will cast themselves on God, be it only with faith “as a grain of mustard seed”. And to anticipate a common objection – far from inducing […]

The Gospel of Mark opens with the words: “The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God”, but we do not notice the concentrated wonder of the last three words, for we have heard them too often. Why does it not strike us as astounding that God should have a Son? It […]

David saw that the Son of God would not be allowed by the kings of the earth and their partisans to enter peaceably upon the possession of his throne; in fact they would do their best to prevent it. In his last words (2 Samuel 23) he styles them “a thornbush to be thrust away […]

Paul’s letter to the Romans is a most meaningful letter for its 16 chapters cover the things that those who desire to truly believe in and follow Christ should understand. Paul is writing to those “called to be saints” (verse 7). Do you feel – in your heart – that this includes you? Prophesies through […]
Today’s thought “Overcome evil with good” (August 3) Chapter 12 of Paul’s letter to the Romans abounds with challenging principles – these are a wonderful guide to our lives. The chapter is, in a sense, summarised by its final words, that followers of Jesus should “overcome evil with good”. Actually, this largely completes Paul’s spiritual […]
