“Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a… Continue reading Engaged for Righteousness – the New Covenant and the posture of our heart →

Sorry for the late post recovering from severe Covid illness. “We give up things we love, for things we love even more” Global Catalytic Ministries Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice but His birth was also a sacrifice. God became flesh, left the perfection of heaven to join the mess of humanity. Jesus felt, for… Continue reading The Impossible Command – the first commandment in first place (part 2). →

As I start to study the first commandment about God’s divine love, I’m beginning to understand that we can examine His love through an infinite number of lenses for eternity. So, I have picked one lens below to make a start (Philippians 1:9-11): “And this I pray, that your love [divine love] may abound still… Continue reading The Impossible Command – the first commandment in first place (Part 1). →

“Harlot Babylon is an attracting entanglement we are meant to recognise and expunge from our affections” (Revelation 18:4; Reference 1). Jesus is giving us a command to be attentive, discerning and active against Babylon. Why? Jesus warned us in Matthew 24 that deception would be a great challenge for believers before He returns. While many… Continue reading Ignorance of Jesus’ Warnings – The Harlot Babylon →

I have always been hesitant to study the first commandment. I believe this is the grandest passage in scripture, no one can understand or love this way. However, God put it on my heart again this week and I cannot hold back from seeking His wisdom on this majestic commandment. Have you ever heard a… Continue reading Divine Love – the first commandment in first place →

The world has changed! Australia has changed! These changes have many parallels with scripture and they are not good changes (example one see Reference 1; Isaiah 59:14. Example 2 see Reference 4; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 on the evil of ideologies). In my opinion they are changes that appear to be linked to Jesus second coming… Continue reading The Call – a living room conversation →

“Truth is defined by God” (Reference 1). I believe this is an understatement because I believe God is truth. His nature, character, plans and actions are truth. Scripture tells us that Jesus is truth (John 14:6), His Word is truth (John 17:17) and the Holy Spirit is truth (1 John 5:6). If there is an… Continue reading The War Against Truth – a living room conversation →

Jesus the only teacher I would like to consider these posts as a ‘living room conversation’. I have been challenged by Jesus words in Matthew 23:8. Jesus told the disciples that they were not to consider themselves teachers because Jesus was the One Teacher. Therefore, I’m not a teacher but someone who has been taught… Continue reading New Insights – the way of the heart →

Justice and truth are important to God. “Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) stands far off; for truth has fallen in the street (the city’s forum), and uprightness cannot enter [the courts of justice].”                                         Isaiah 59:14 (AMP Bible) When truth falls in the street, lawlessness abounds (Isaiah 59; Matthew 24:12). When the… Continue reading A Crafted Prayer – God’s Justice for the Nations →

Could prayer be the way of the heart into intimacy with God? As a Christian man I have realised that I often misunderstand and undervalue the majesty of prayer. This was surprising to me because I grew up in a church that spent much time teaching prayer and there were many books in the church… Continue reading Prayer – the way of the heart into intimacy with God. →
