The church is like a constitutional monarchy, where Jesus is allowed the title, but has no authority to make any decisions. (A.W. Tozer as quoted in Simple Church by Tony and Felicity Dale – p 25.) The book I’ve just started provided the quote for today’s blog entry. It was through the usual connections (King […]
Read More Who’s the Boss: Jesus Is Lord … On A Constitutional BasisCommit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. (Proverbs 16:3) When I was a boy, I was told there are only three times the Lord needs to know what you’re up to – before, during and after. As a boy figuring that out, it occurred that meant all the time! How […]
Read More MTP16 – When Should God Get Involved In Your Plans?(Remember the Prayer Points for this week) This morning I posted a current favourite on me playlist, Marvin Winans’ singing The Winans classic ‘For We May Never Know‘. In that song I suggested you listen carefully to the lyrics and as with most classics you could spend considerable time on different parts of the song. […]
Read More In It For The RewardSo continuing the series of Prayer-Points after last week’s beginning, here are the points for your prayerful consideration. Arthur Sido Two years ago, Arthur Sido meant nothing to me. Yet the wonders of this Internet business allowed me through various sources to come across Sido’s blog The Voice Of One Crying In Suburbia. Another […]
Read More Prayer Points (WE-110115)One of the words that has really had a new meaning to be over the year 2010 is revelation. I got a hint about it in 2008 when I had the reassuring word given to me that the last book in the Bible isn’t actually written as a scary apocalyptic novel to graphically tell me […]
Read More Revelation: Dealing With The Enormity Of JesusAgain Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12) What is there without light? Confusion by virtual blindness. We are left groping around in the darkness. Direction, purpose, development and movement has little to […]
Read More Jesus Is … The Light Of The WorldOne of the people I’ve come across on this Christian journey gave me the impression that his early spiritual development was on his own – it was just him and the Holy Spirit – not other influences, just him, the Spirit and his Bible. That came across to me at the time as rather intimidating. […]
Read More Another Brief Word On Church And MeYeah, I haven’t been representing Bro. Fred on this here blog that often – what’s up with that? This is the song to represent though it really puts us in mind of not letting the past or present circumstances be an obstacle to being all that Christ called us to be. Might as well […]
Read More I Want My Destiny – Fred HammondThere’s a phrase that people often come across in relation to their current situation. “Can’t complain.” Those people are admirable in my eyes. I very much could complain. It’s not anti-Christian to acknowledge areas that could be the source of complaint. Where we go wrong is choosing to take the complaint. We have the choice […]
Read More I Struggle With This OneSo I was sharing about a funny old day I had very recently. Following on from that, I slept since then, although again it was a bit bizarre in terms of the time I went to bed and when I woke up. In any case, I had me sleep – that’s what I’m saying – […]
