    Jesus told us to be in the world, but not of it. This at least implies we are to be engaged, interactive, present, making the world a better place. But it also means we have to govern our exposure to those things which dishonor God.

    To the angel of the church of Thyatira write These things says the Son of God, the one having his eyes like flame of fire, and his feet like polished bronze. I know your works, and the love, and the faith, and the service (deaconate), and the patience (endurance), and your latter works are greater ...read more

    Private Relations Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,514 views

    God gives us what we value most. If it’s public recognition, we get it. We get God’s approval only if that is what we value.

    Our culture admires publicity. People are famous just for being famous. We grow up watching people who command the public eye; we call them stars. They are the people with money, fame, position, power and recognition. They are held up by the media as larger than life, people to be envied. We ...read more

    Jesus set us free to live in freedom! Live as someone who is free and don’t let yourself be taken captive again! You have the choice to live in freedom or to be taken captive by the enemy. It sounds like a simple choice: live in freedom. Far too many

    A short talk for Mothering Sunday, given at a service of baptism where lots of Brownies and Scouts were also present. The talk aims to publicise the great work of the Mothers’ Union, although I would personally like to rename it Mothers United!

    Yesterday, sitting outside the bathroom I saw a copy of this magazine called Families First and it’s great. ‘Families First’ is a magazine produced by The Mothers’ Union, aiming to encourage strong marriages, good parenting and active faith. I really like those three aims because I believe that ...read more

    The Danger Of Spiritual Highs

     | 2,614 views

    The life of Elijah teaches us many valuable lessons. One of the lessons it teaches us is that some of our most trying times come after a SPIRITUAL HIGH in our life.

    For example, Elijah had just had two of his greatest victories: • All alone, he has just confronted a cult, and had 450 of their prophets on Mount Carmel killed. • God had just used him through prayer, to bring rain after three years of drought. He was on a SPIRITUAL HIGH, he was on a roll, and ...read more
