Tuning Into The God Channel

Each of us can tap into the God Channel; indeed, each of us should. If we did it we’d quickly find critical information for living that would help us in our aspersions.

The Completeness of Christ

All things in heaven and on earth are pulled together in the Jesus-time and the Jesus-space; all things are under the Father, through Jesus. They always were, but we were apart, due the need of the blood sacrifice of God’s own Son.

One Humanity, One Justice

We yearn to be brothers in arms, sisters of grace. Together we travel this existence, come what may, until we no longer do. Teamwork may be cliche but this, here, is never such like.

Psalm 91 – Commands of Heavenly Assurance

On a cursory reading of this fear-eclipsing sonnet we see a ‘piano-hinge’ connecting the beginning and ending stanzas – verses 1-2 and 14-16 respectively. The piano-hinge, comprising verses 3-13, specifies the rewards proffered…

Understanding and Accepting Common Human Insanity

To reach the head of someone is to reach them pre-heart – their heart remains, unconvinced. Yet, to reach their head is a massive task and their very humanity will struggle tooth and nail against it.

Head – Heart – THEN Holy

We cannot be set apart to something, devoted to it, without it reaching our hearts. We can understand anything at the level of the mind, but we’ll be forever confused and overwhelmed by the steady and consistent practice of it until it reaches our hearts.

The Christian’s Respect – 1 Peter 3:15-17

I’m not sure we think of this much, but we should. We should be working out our salvation in fear and trembling as Paul exhorts us in Philippians 2:12. I think this is also what Peter is getting at.

Resting Confidently in God’s Assurance

Persecution is certainly still known toward the church and Christians today – and perhaps it might always be. And, still, we have this comfort of the Lord in the above vision, which is appreciably written for us today as much as it was for Paul back in the First Century.

Being Content In All Our Circumstances

Contentment is a tranquillity of soul, a being satisfied with what God has apportioned. It is the opposite of a grasping spirit which is [often] never appeased, with distrustful anxiety, with petulant murmurings.

The Remarkable Compassion of Jesus

There are scores of examples of Jesus’ compassion, really, so where do we start? The story of the woman caught in adultery is always a pretty good place to begin the journey. “If any of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her,” says Jesus in John 8:7 (NIV).

After Darkness, Light

Not to an ending but rather to a beginning, a beginning of joy, a beginning of abundance and life. We believe in miracles, a new birth and resurrection after death.

Unforgiveness and Judgment – Tag Team Jailers

Forgiveness drops the debt of payment we require in order for us to forgive those who have wronged us. It opens the jail cell and lets us walk free. Judgment, however, is a cell reserved for two.
