The triumph of Jesus points the way to victory in the lives of all those who follow him. We do not require the extreme rigours of the wilderness to tempt us to make stones into bread. Most men live by bread alone, and do not discover until too late that all is vanity and vexation […]
What if we shut up the bowels of our compassion towards those who suffer? What if with plenty in our hands, we think only of our own need, and our own comfort, and our schemes are shaped and burdened only and continually with our own cares and our own interests? What if we never help […]
Elements of the Tabernacle to be reared up upon earth, for the glory of God, will be supplied from the ranks of Adam’s descendants in conformity with the divine specifications.
If there is one thing people like to talk about in England and Belgium, it’s the weather! As we approach the Summer Holidays there are those who want sunny days for their holiday, and farmers who want rain for their crops. There are those who dislike the heat and long for cooler days, and those […]
In this world where there is more attention given to finances in the Eurozone and the Common Market we find more people loving money and turning away from belief in the true God as at Babel; more believing there is no God, no creator at all to whom they owe their lives.

There are many passages in God’s word which make reference to the heavens in a way in which it seems clear they symbolise, in certain contexts, the ruling powers on earth. Through Isaiah God says, “My […]
We do not know a great deal about Isaiah’s personal situation. In John’s Gospel we read that “Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him” (12:41), so the seeing was with the eye of faith, a vivid picture in the mind. Isaiah “saw” what was to come, believing with such […]
As we continue reading the final message of Jesus in Revelation we reflect on how much heart searching it has caused believers in every generation. Its wonderful visions of an ultimate age of perfection and glory are balanced by the awesome series of woes beforehand. The last 1,900 years bear testimony to the judgements that […]
As Brothers in Christ, Christadelphians want to share the love of Christ with others and take their responsibility to help those who do not have it so well.
