    God is good, and all things work together for good.

    HOPE AMID HOPELESSNESS. Lamentations 3:19-26. It is all too easy to forget that these words of hope and encouragement have been drawn out of the midst of the Book of Lamentations.

    Grace cannot be silenced, even in the face of judgment.

    GRACE AMID JUDGMENT. Hosea 1:2-10. This is ‘the word of the LORD that came to Hosea, son of Beeri’ (Hosea 1:1). The name Hosea, like Hoshea, Joshua, Jeshua and Jesus is derived from the verb ‘to save’. Hosea, like his contemporary Amos, prophesied to the northern kingdom of Israel during the ...read more

  • Bridling The Tongue

    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,010 views

    The same tongue which responds to God’s manifest glories by blessing His holy name also denigrates the poor - the widow, the orphan, and the resident alien - who, like us, are made in His image.

    BRIDLING THE TONGUE. James 3:1-12. “If anyone thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain” (James 1:26). James 3:1. James begins his elucidation of this text with a warning against seeking pre-eminence amongst the brethren. This ...read more

    THE CALL OF WISDOM. Proverbs 9:1-6. Even before she invited us, Lady Wisdom “built her house” (Proverbs 9:1).

    It is hard preaching to hard heads and hard hearts.

    A HARD CALLING. Ezekiel 2:1-5. In times gone by, and in certain places and professions still, it was taken for granted that children would follow in the trade of their fathers.

  • Pursuing The Mark

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 20, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,427 views

    Paul the persecutor was turned into Paul the pursuer. The Christian life is not static, but vigorously active.

    PURSUING THE MARK. Philippians 3:4-14. The starter’s line for this passage is the Apostle Paul’s polemic against false teachers, whose confidence lies in the flesh (Philippians 3:2-4). “The flesh” here represents self-help religion, which stands contrary to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. ...read more
