Standing up
My wife and I were present at this congress. Sabina told me, "Richard, stand up and wash away this shame from the face of Christ! They are spitting in His face." I said to her, "If I do so, you lose your husband." She replied, "I don't wish to have a coward ...
Affliction
We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God." - D.L. Moody
Crucified
As dear Dr. Tozer used to say, 'Len, you knew one thing about a man that was carrying a cross out of the city, you knew he wasn't coming back.' We just come from an altar and we go back the next week and we're as fascinated, we haven't spent a half hour with...
Pleasure in God
If your heart takes more pleasure in reading novels, or watching TV, or going to the movies, or talking to friends, rather than just sitting alone with God and embracing Him, sharing His cares and His burdens, weeping and rejoicing with Him, then how are you...
Controversial
I've never tried to be controversial. The truth is controversial enough." - Keith Green
Pencil
If somebody writes a great poem, people don't run around applauding the pencil, saying 'Oh, what a great pencil'...I'm a pencil in God's hands. - Keith Green
Feelings
I may no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord. I must rather respond to principles I know to be right, whether I feel them to be enjoyable or not." - Jim Elliott
Noah, Daniel & Job
Why does God single out these three men: Noah, Daniel and Job? Ezekiel 14:12-20 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will brea...
What a Testimony
"There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil." (Job 1:1, NKJV) How the book of Job both challenges and encourages me all at the same time. It starts and end with grea...
Blessed or Happy?
Psalm 1 starts "Blessed is the man who ...." When I think about blessing, what comes to mind; wealth, health, popularity, safety, food, relationships, etc? As you think on the words "Blessing" or "Blessed" you may begin to realise that in fact, outside of a ch...
Serving Christ
Living one's life as a biblical Christian is not complex, nor is it so difficult that only someone with certain attributes, great intelligence, or other qualifications can abide in it. On the other hand, as noted, it does involve a commitment to the person o...
Seeking after God
Just some quick thoughts that challenged me Psalm 81. If we insist in doing things our way, then God will "give us over to our own desires" and we will lose out in the end. The fact is that He wants to "give us His finest". At the end of the day I supp...
Wisdom
So teach us to number our days, so that we may bring a heart of wisdom...... And let the beauty of the LORD our God be on us; and establish the work of our hands on us; yea, the work of our hands, establish it. - Moses (Psalm 90:12,17)
Opinion: Of whom the world was not worthy
I stumbled across the following while reading a link on my wife's Facebook page: http://www.thebereancall.org/node/2745. Having read Jim Elliot's (while to be more correct, his wife's plublication of his) diary and other happenings; "Through Gates of Splendor"...
Good News in troubled times
As you consider life over the past two years, and then link that with the uncertainty of the future, do you become frustrated, angry, fearful, or all of the above? In the book of Ester, we read how Ester (a Jew) is made queen in place of Queen Vashti only to h...
Suffering, should I be seeking it?
While scripture does teach about a baptism of suffering (Matthew 20:22-23, Mar 10:38-40 and Luke 12:5), nowhere in scripture are we asked or expected to seek suffering of any type. What we do know however is that as believers, suffering will indeed be part of ...
Most Favoured
With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favoured of all creatures." - A. W. Tozer (Knowledge of the Holy)
Created God
This God we have made and because we have made him we can understand him; because we have created him he can never surprise us, never overwhelm us, nor astonish us, nor transcend us." - A. W. Tozer (Knowledge of the Holy)
Wasted Lives
People who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waste our lives as missionaries. They forget that they too are expending their lives, and when the bubble has burst, they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted...
COVID-19
A Response To: MARK OF THE BEAST: Bill Gates Wants Every Person On Earth To Receive A Vaccination with DIGITAL ID. So how does this line up with scripture? Well the best place to start is in the Scripture: God was, is and always will be (Exodus 3:14, Revela...
