Jesus’ Sermon On the Mount – Matthew 6 Verse 15

JUSTICE IS huge for God. Because the heart is so central in the execution and care of our relationships God takes fundamental charge over how we interact with others.

The Healing Power of the Night Sky

In one of his books he wrote that we must discover listening points in nature where we can be still and listen to and be healed by the rhythms of the universe. This Lake Superior sunset became one of my most significant listening points. In fact I liked it so much that I now include the story in my talks on stress management.

Faith and Unbelief

The human beings live in an “order” that we call the universe. This “order” is a physical structure that can be seen and felt so; there are not any problems in the understanding of the order. The real problem is understanding the creator and organizer of the order because the Creator, organizer and ruler of the order does not resemble the order. He cannot be seen or touched. Faith and Unbelief is in fact the problem of comprehending “the owner of the order”. How must we know our creator? We must know Allah (Swt) as He introduces Himself.

Jesus’ Sermon On the Mount – The Lord’s Prayer – Part 3 of 3

PRAYER will become our lives or the Word of God hasn’t yet become our operating system for life. If God is to dwell in us continually according to his Word, that same Word will overthrow our default inclination to ourselves and the primacy of natural self-willed thinking.

Jesus’ Sermon On the Mount – The Lord’s Prayer – Part 2 of 3

Our Lord’s prayer: Of this prayer is our personal relationship with God, the world, and all things. It’s a prayer we can pray privately and publically. It’s so readily recognised everywhere, even with those who were never taught to pray it.

Jesus’ Sermon On the Mount – The Lord’s Prayer – Part 1 of 3

JUST how are we to approach prayer? Jesus answers this question in an elemental way. He gives the disciples a model for what and how they are to pray. The ‘how’ has already been handled. Now we are directed to the ‘what’.

We Learn Spiritual Lessons in Earlier Years But Only Later Discover Their Profound Significance!

God did not need you and God did not need me but He decided to make you and love you and me. This is how valuable we are to Him. How strange things turn out. I picked up that book by Professor James S Stewart, and the page I read has lingered in my mind most the past week. He was my Professor of New Testament at the University of Edinburgh and he was also known as the ‘prince of preachers’. He rather detested the phrase but there was a great deal of truth in it. In the pulpit he was a spiritual giant and there are not many such men around today. We became friends because of various interests in our life and for that friendship I give Almighty God thanks and praise.

A Book, a Refreshing Reminder, a Reassuring Confirmation, But Perhaps Raising a Question for You?

Professor James S. Stewart’s book was sitting prominently on my shelf and I had not looked at it for years. It was Saturday evening and I opened it at page 52 and my eye espied, “If I Had Only One Sermon to Preach”! Prof Stewart was my New Testament Professor in the University of Edinburgh many years ago and because of various circumstances we became quite close friends. We were made by God and we were made for God, and once you realise that so much in life appears to unfold so much simpler and so less complicated. I was eight years old when almighty God called me to be a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a teacher of the Scriptures and although it has been uphill and challenging the road has always been clear. But one day my heart will stop, as will your heart, and we had better be ready. This life is the preparation for eternity, and if we do not see this and understand this we will waste our life.

Jesus’ Sermon On the Mount – Matthew 6 Verse 6

Jesus, in getting to the very heart of how to commune with God, is insisting we cannot know the Father without going into our innermost room – the sanctuary of the soul. Going into our innermost room has nothing to do with the environment without but it has maximum to do with the conditions of silence from within.

Object Lesson – Reflecting Christ’s Image – Object Lesson Using Foil

Aluminum foil is one of those things we often take for granted. It has so many uses. But this week’s lesson uses foil to remind us that as Christians we are destined to be conformed to the image of Christ, reflecting Him in all that we do. It’s not just being seen as Christlike, but God molding us and shaping us into the image of His Perfect Son.

Knock On Jesus’ Door And You Will Never Go Empty Handed

When last did you knock on Jesus Christ’s door? The Lord is always receiving knocks on His door and He is expecting yours too. Nobody knocks on His door in faith and returns empty handed. Jesus is the God of all possibilities and your case cannot be the first impossible case. This article tells you more about this.

Jesus’ Sermon On the Mount – Matthew 6 Verse 5

THE LANGUAGE of God is not to be abused, but we have all fallen short of our Lord’s glory in prayer. We all, I suspect, know how hard it is to pray – to be honest before the throne of grace – or even to know how to speak honestly.
