My desire in seeking God is to learn how to have fellowship in the light. Fellowship with Him and fellowship with others who seek Him. That is all. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More Having Fellowship In The LightSome of us are looking at 1 Kings. It’s a fascinating read. Take chapter 6 and 7. Compare the length of time it took to build the Temple for the Lord and how long it took to build his own crib. I had a problem with that, thinking that his palace took longer because it […]
Read More Giving To The Building ProjectThere are pressures in life that try to force you to see the present in dismal ways. The state of your bank account, the things you haven’t done, relational demands, work deadlines and targets, the list goes on. Sometimes those pressures push us just to think the worst. Maybe it’s too much, maybe there are […]
Read More In The Light Of ContextMy upbringing gave me the impression that church gatherings were about excitement and noise. God was with us when our emotions were stirred. Truly the Spirit was moving if people were shouting hallelujah, people were crying and whoever was preaching/singing was encouraged to do an encore. If I didn’t feel buzzed up after a meeting […]
Read More Wisdom in Administration and OrganisationA group of us are studying the books of Kings. Fascinating books highlighting the rise and fall of initially the United Kingdom of Israel before its split into the Northern tribes of Israel and the Southern tribes of Judah. The premise of this, of course, is the children of Israel wanting to be like the […]
Read More CD Songs: Jesus, He’s My King – VIP Mass Choir feat. John P KeeTrusting God is a challenging thing to do at the best of times. It’s difficult when you are used to relying on yourself. So it’s not unusual that you are instructed to trust God with relationships, but in your fear or pride, you feel the need to help God out by taking matters into your […]
Read More Who Sorts Out Church?It’s been bugging me for a while and even in writing what I’ve written about it, the itch hasn’t been sorted. I am referring to the issue of mutual submission. I started it in general when considering it as the key response in how we can work together. Putting flesh on those bones I looked […]
Read More Mutual Submission: Fruitful RelationshipsIt was not that long ago that I invited you to imagine. No, I didn’t invite you to imagine like some other fella did. I invited you to imagine the basis of relationships being built on mutual submission. Where I left off was with a promise to put some meat on the bone of what […]
Read More Mutual Submission: First PlaceRecently I asked the question, how should we work together? Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. (Ephesians 5:21) This is an interesting verse. It’s interesting because it finds itself after Paul’s encouragements to the church to behave as children of light in recognition to what Jesus has done. It also comes in just […]
Read More Mutual Submission: The KeyThere’s a difference between asking God to search you and introspection. I am very used to introspection. It tends to end up being a long and winding road that leads to nowhere but the very self you’ve always been. The self you’re aware of, the self that keeps things going. It might seem very relieving […]
