  • How Long?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,512 views

    A flow from pain through prayer to praise.

    HOW LONG? Psalm 13:1-6. This is a lament, a Psalm of complaint. This is evident from the outset, with the fourfold cry of pain, “How long?” (Psalm 13:1-2). The complaint is addressed first to the LORD (Psalm 13:1), but then seems to descend into something resembling self-pity (Psalm ...read more

  • The Omniscience Of God.

     | 2,423 views

    The response to "The LORD has searched me" (cf. Psalm 139:1) is “Search me and know my thoughts” (Psalm 139:23).

    THE OMNISCIENCE OF GOD. Psalm 139:1-12, Psalm 139:23-24. When we read Psalm 139, sometimes it is hard to tell whether we should read it with a sense of dread: The LORD knows me (PSALM 139:1); He knows everything I am doing (PSALM 139:2); He knows where I am going (PSALM 139:3); He knows my every ...read more

  • An Appeal In Hope.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,145 views

    This Psalm looks beyond the present crisis and need, through the availability of God’s righteousness, to the ultimate hope of the resurrection.

    AN APPEAL IN HOPE. Psalm 17:1-7, Psalm 17:15. PSALM 17:1. How can a man, born dead in trespasses and sins, plead with the LORD to “hear the right?” Well, it is as Abraham said, ‘Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?’ (Genesis 18:25). When we use this Psalm, we are not appealing to our ...read more

  • From Prison To Premiership.

    "He sent a man before them." Psalm 105.17.

    FROM PRISON TO PREMIERSHIP. Psalm 105:16-22. PSALM 105:16. It is the LORD our God who “called for a famine upon the land: He brake the whole staff of bread.” Bread, or any staple, is aptly called ‘the staff of life’ – for without his staff man must surely fall. But such things are in the hands ...read more

    The unfailing compassion of Jesus.

    A GREAT MULTITUDE FED. Matthew 14:13-21. MATTHEW 14:13. Jesus had tried to withdraw from the throng in Galilee by boat, and sought some rest and relaxation in the Golan Heights: but the crowds followed Him on foot. MATTHEW 14:14. Jesus was moved with compassion towards the multitude which ...read more

  • David Lets His Guard Down.

     | 1,024 views

    A downward spiral with inevitable consequences.

    DAVID LETS HIS GUARD DOWN. 2 Samuel 11:1-15. “At the time when kings go forth” (to battle), “David tarried still at Jerusalem.” (2 SAMUEL 11:1). Sending his nephew Joab may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but this constituted a dereliction of duty which put David in the wrong place at ...read more

  • A Naughty Question.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 1, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 852 views

    'For the hardness of your heart he wrote this precept' (Mark 10:5).

    A NAUGHTY QUESTION. Mark 10:2-12. The Pharisees’ question about divorce was worse than mischievous in that it, like many of their questions addressed to Jesus, was asked with the intention of “tempting” Jesus into saying something that would cause offence (MARK 10:2). I assert this on two ...read more

  • The Call Of Moses. Part One.

    The bush that burned, but was not consumed.

    THE CALL OF MOSES. Part One. Exodus 3:1-6. EXODUS 3:1. Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, and led them to new pastures on the far side of the desert, towards Mount Horeb (a.k.a. Mount Sinai). This place is also known in this verse as “the mountain of God,” and elsewhere as ...read more

  • The Unique Apostleship Of Paul.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 3, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,141 views

    Paul received the gospel, he says, by direct revelation from Jesus. Also, his commission as Apostle to the Gentiles came directly from Jesus.

    THE UNIQUE APOSTLESHIP OF PAUL. Galatians 1:11-24. The gospel which was preached by Paul was “not according to men. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ” (GALATIANS 1:11-12). Paul elaborates on this assertion throughout the rest of ...read more

  • The Allure Of Worldly Conformity.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 11, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,312 views

    The Church should never want be "like all the nations."

    THE ALLURE OF WORLDLY CONFORMITY. 1 Samuel 8:4-20, 1 Samuel 11:14-15. Samuel appointed his two sons to be judges in Beersheba in the south of Israel, but ‘his sons walked not in his ways’ and ‘took bribes and perverted judgement (1 Samuel 8:1-3). On account of this, the elders of Israel ...read more

  • Crossing Jordan.

    God keeps His promises to Israel as they at last enter the promised land.

    CROSSING JORDAN. Joshua 3:7-17. JOSHUA 3:7. Transition from one ministry to another is always challenging, but if the Lord’s people recognise the new incumbent as God’s man then they can agree under God to hearken to him (cf. Joshua 1:17). Moses was dead, but the LORD had appointed Joshua in his ...read more

  • From Lament To Praise.

     | 1,306 views

    God is, and ever has been, my protector. Why would He let us down now?

    FROM LAMENT TO PRAISE. Psalm 43:1-5. Bold prayer dares to address God in the imperative. It seems that the Psalmist, speaking on behalf of many a pilgrim since, has lost his sense of the immanence of God. Yet we cannot rely upon senses, so he falls back on what he knows about God. ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,163 views

    Past mercies are the foundation of present prayers, and present prayers are the channel towards future blessings.

    A SOLEMN FEAST DAY. Psalm 81:1-10. This Psalm opens with a summons to resounding praise (Psalm 81:1-3), with reasons to do so attached (Psalm 81:4-7). It continues with an address by God, beginning with a commandment, with a promise attached (Psalm 81:8-10); and going on to upbraid the people ...read more

    2 SAMUEL 1:17. "David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son."

    HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN! 2 Samuel 1:1, 2 Samuel 1:17-27. The first verse of the second book of Samuel follows on from the report of the death of King Saul and his three sons at the end of the previous book. They died in a battle against the Philistines in Mount Gilboa (cf. 1 Samuel 31:1-6). At ...read more

    He loosed my bonds.

    HE HEARD MY VOICE. Psalm 116:1-2, Psalm 116:12-19. If I was asked why I love the LORD, I might well answer: because He heard and answered my prayer (Psalm 116:1). Yet this may, at first glance, appear self-serving: what would I have to say for myself if my prayers had not been answered in the ...read more
