“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8… Continue reading The Mystery of Lawlessness →

“Seeing many things, but you do not observe; opening the ears, but he does not hear.”                    Isaiah 42:20 The pinnacle of the church commission is the second coming of Jesus (1 Corinthians 15:13-19). If it’s the pinnacle it must have our attention and be in our conversations but talking to many Christian acquaintances this is not… Continue reading (In)visible signs and the pinnacle of the church commission. →

“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.

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 →
