TITHING:Part 1 This is can be a controversial topic in Christian circles. For some it is a non issue, they think, God asks me to do so I do, and so it ends there. Some others believe their 10% includes time and money, others also add all they have given to charity and other organizations [...]

I always thought that the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price were primarily about my need to search for God. But as it turns out, I got things completely the wrong way around - and that was good news indeed.

Healing 3: Holy Communion

Saturday, August 14, 2010

0 Comments

What has Holy Communion got to do with healing you may ask? Well…..let me first ask you a question.. We all as Christians know that the Holy Communion has 2 elements, the wine and the bread. The wine representing Jesus’ blood and the bread His body. So if we ask any Christian, “What Jesus’ blood [...]

Healing 2: Is it God’s will?

Friday, August 13, 2010

0 Comments

Healing seems to be intrinsically tied in with this question, “Is it God’s will to heal?” We have all prayed or heard being prayed in some form or other.. “Lord if it is your will heal me if not give me the grace to endure…” I realize its out of reverence to God and a [...]

Healing 1: A Blood Bought Right?

Recently I had the privilege to pray for 2 people with Cancer. Listening to both of them speaking about God and their disease, I really felt led to write about this topic; Is healing a Blood Bought Right of a Christian, because of Jesus’ work on the cross? Isaiah 53:4-5 (NKJV) v4 Surely He has borne [...]

Stewardship of God’s House: What is it?

Monday, August 9, 2010

0 Comments

I have always wondered whether we could distill the role of a Pastor/ Shepherd or even as leaders of the local church (no matter the size). What should be, the overriding responsibility that Jesus has entrusted the stewards of His church, until He comes again. I know that each church has its own role to [...]

“When the disciples asked Jesus why they couldn’t drive out a demon from a certain boy, he replied, ‘Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing [...]

In Lk 11:5-10 Jesus tells the parable of a man who asked a friend for three loaves of bread at midnight, because he had nothing to offer someone who had come to him on a journey. It was late and inconvenient, and the friend was unwilling to get up from bed, but eventually he gave [...]

In war, as in life, it seems one of the most important things God warns his people against is losing heart. He says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” (Prov 4:23, NIV)

‘… the crowds were amazed at his [Jesus'] teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.’ (Mt 7:28-29, NIV) A little while back, I got to thinking about how Jesus spoke with authority, and came across something interesting; it was in one of the many disputes [...]

Hebrews chapter 11 talks about many of the great people of faith in the Old Testament, and the things they accomplished by their faith. Interestingly, there’s a recurring theme in that chapter about looking forward to the end destination. In summing up the stories of these heroes of faith, the Bible says: “All these people [...]

“…make every effort to add to your faith goodness… knowledge… self-control… perseverance… godliness… brotherly kindness… love… For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective… But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past [...]

In Genesis (chapters 16 and 21), there’s a story about Hagar, a maidservant of Abraham and Sarah (or ‘Abram’ and ‘Sarai’, until God changed their names). When Sarah failed to bear a child for Abraham, she came up with the idea of having Abraham sleep with Hagar so that at least he would have an [...]

Often the worst accusations leveled against us aren’t the false ones but the ones that are true, and often the worst accusers aren’t other people, or even the devil, but ourselves.

Although God sovereignly provided for Elijah at Brook Cherith for a while, Elijah ultimately had to receive God’s provision through another person. And that person wasn’t some rich man with plenty of food stored up – it was a poor widow who didn’t even have enough for herself and her son.

In offering rest, Jesus invites us to take up his yoke, and to learn from him – because there’s something about his gentle nature, his humility of heart, that provides rest for the soul. Jesus didn’t need to strive for greatness, or to prove it to others, so neither should we.

Like sunshine and rain, God’s grace is free. It encompasses everyone, and we can’t do anything to get one bit more or less. And like sunshine and rain, it falls from the heavens down to earth, from God to man. And yet, somehow, not everyone enjoys this amazing grace.

A centurion and a Canaanite woman were commended by Jesus as people who had great faith. These people were not Israelites – and Jesus was ‘sent only to the lost sheep of Israel’ (Mt 15:24, NIV) – yet they were able to obtain a measure of God’s favour. We, on the other hand, have so much more.

What could the Bible mean, when it warns, “Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise – why destroy yourself?” (Ecc 7:16-18, NIV).
