At the moment I enjoy my sleeping patterns. In the evening my wife and youngest daughter will retire to bed at a relatively early time and being exhausted by events, I won’t have that much stamina to stay up for that much longer and I’m usually gone before 11pm. Almost like clockwork way before 6am […]
Read More Thanking God For The ValleyAnd when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Mark 2:12) Something that should always be part of the thinking of inviting people to the Kingdom, is that this is a […]
Read More Insights From Mark – Here For The SickRavi expounds on a subject that appears to be less and less relevant to people both outside of Christian circles and frighteningly within it. I don’t think it’s too much to say that a bit like the devil’s best tactic is getting people to believe he doesn’t exist is to get people confused or not […]
Read More Sermon Jam: SinIt is already established that Jesus and the religious rulers of His day got on together like two things that did not get on together. The animosity and hostility between the two would almost inevitably pop out whenever the Pharisees saw what Jesus was up to and what law they had perceived He had broken. […]
Read More Insights From Matthew – Traditions of Men and Corrupt Hearts(Please check this week’s Prayer Points) Some sins are blatantly horrific and disgusting to the eye – murder, sexual sins, stuff like that. Easy to hear them and be revolted by them and subsequently revile those who commit such atrocities. Not long ago I was talking about character assassination in line with why people kill […]
Read More Gossip – Going Against The FlowBut when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. (Galatians 4:4, 5) What is it to redeem? At birth you belong to your parents, without them you have […]
Read More Jesus Is … The RedeemerTruly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John8:34-36) It is an age old story – a people in peril, under oppressive slavery, […]
Read More Jesus Is … The LiberatorThe next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! (John 1:29) Centuries earlier a son asked his father where was the lamb for the sacrifice. The father said that God Himself would provide the Lamb. This was the moment when […]
Read More Jesus Is … The Lamb Of GodThere is something reassuring about finding out whose fault it is. From the beginning as soon as man was able to blame it on the wife (as opposed to the boogie, which at that time was unavailable) there was that thing of pointing out (not in) whose fault it was and hoping all blame and […]
Read More Whose Fault Is It?From time to time I get in those phases of thought on issues that concern more than me. Recently, I was informed by a close personal friend that someone I knew was struggling with their sexual identity. Sadly for the individual in question they belonged to certain church-folk who … to put it politely … […]
