I have appointed you a watchman…Ezekiel 3:17
To love God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind and strength appears to be a simple truth, an impossible command that requires an endless journey into the heart of God. However, Jesus has had me on a journey of discovery to capture my heart with something I cannot understand (Ephesians 3:19).… Continue reading The First commandment – a simple truth, an impossible command and an endless journey into the heart of God.
This whisper from Jesus speaks of our heart engagement with Him, learning to live in His presence and understanding this spiritual relationship with Jesus, that governs our walk in this present kingdom. Jesus said this was the most important thing (Matthew 22:36-37). I was surprised by the word ‘adore’. I have been so focused on… Continue reading Jesus Christ – we can love the Man, but we must adore God.
The world has changed dramatically. Does the Bible give us any insights into this change? Recently, I have seen some Christian interviews where the guest was asked to explain the dramatic changes that were occurring in the world and whether scripture explained the observed changes. Their answers were disappointing, rambling and lacked any scriptural evidence… Continue reading (In)visible Signs – “WATCH THEREFORE”
We are examining the majesty of the fruit of the Spirit to delve into the first commandment relationship with God. To learn His presence, to understand our spiritual relationship with Him and to see how God refines our character for the weight of glory that is to come (2 Corinthians 4:17). This relationship is described… Continue reading Faith – learning to live in relationship with God. Part 2
Jesus gave me the title of this post and it has surprised me because I have never connected faith with relationship or considered that the journey of faith could be a learning relationship experience. Over the last few years God has put two key truths of scripture on my heart. Jesus said the first commandment was… Continue reading Faith – learning to live in relationship with God. Part 1
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I… Continue reading Paul takes pleasure in his infirmities?
We are no longer under a covenant of law but a covenant of GRACE! Life is difficult! Over the last four years I have had one health issues after another. One nearly took my life. Jesus told me this would be the most difficult part of my life and I have not handled it well.… Continue reading “My Grace is Sufficient for You”
I would like to look further into the grace of God. I was intrigued in the last post to learn that Paul’s motivation for his faithful life and holy living was the glorious hope of the resurrection and not heaven. This was a new understanding for me. God has given us His grace to sustain… Continue reading God’s Endless Grace – sustains us with an unimaginable future and keeps us by the power of God.
We have written many posts on Jesus’ return. Why spend so much time and study on the return of Jesus? My thoughts on this topic have been provoked by the following passage: “For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought… Continue reading Christ’s Ultimate Purpose when He Returns – the glory of Jesus and our experience of His glory
“One of the greatest themes of scripture is the Church – the object of God’s affection, the future bride for His beloved Son. Christ’s redemptive mission on earth is a love story, played out on the stages of time and eternity, and filled with drama, pathos, love, struggle and triumph. God’s intention is to provide… Continue reading God’s Plan for His Church
