    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 482 views

    Paul has been accused of being a fool and weak. He does not deny the accusations, but makes a masterful ironic reply.

    PAUL PLAYS THE FOOL. 2 Corinthians 11:19-31. While the Apostle Paul was delayed from his next visit to Corinth, certain ‘false apostles’ (as he calls them in 2 Corinthians 11:13) had come into the Corinthian church preaching ‘another Jesus, whom we have not preached,’ and offering ‘another ...read more

     | 383 views

    "But He giveth more grace" (James 4:6).

    THE GRACE OF SUBMISSION. James 4:1-10. James has been contrasting the ‘earthly, sensual, devilish’ wisdom that engenders ‘envying and strife’ (cf. James 3:14-16) with the ‘peaceable’ wisdom of God (cf. James 3:17-18). JAMES 4:1. With a startling suddenness, James asks, “From whence come wars ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 298 views

    God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:7).

    TOWARDS SANCTIFICATION. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. As Paul approaches the subject of “sanctification” (cf. 1 THESSALONIANS 4:3; 1 THESSALONIANS 4:4), he encourages his readers on their “walking” and “pleasing God” so far; but also “beseeches” and “exhorts” them “in the Lord Jesus” to “abound more ...read more

    The secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him; that they may know His covenant (Psalm 25:14).

    THE SECRET OF THE LORD. Psalm 25:14-22. “The secret of the LORD” (PSALM 25:14a). This speaks of the friendship, the intimate fellowship that the believer has with the LORD. It is as if we were seated upon our couch ‘in heavenly places in Christ Jesus’ (cf. Ephesians 2:6), listening to Him tell ...read more

    The prayer of a soul in distress.

    AN APPEAL FOR DELIVERANCE. Psalm 143:1-12. Who are we going to turn to in a time of distress? For the believer, it can only be the LORD. We know that the LORD has helped us hitherto (cf. 1 Samuel 7:12), and that He is ‘a very present help in time of trouble’ (cf. Psalm 46:1). PSALM 143:1. ...read more

    Honour and the Fear of God.

    LIVING BEFORE GOD IN THE WORLD. 1 Peter 2:11-17. Peter addresses his readers as “Beloved,” and encourages us “as strangers and pilgrims” to “abstain from fleshly lusts (or desires) which war against the soul” (1 PETER 2:11). The Apostle implores us to keep our conduct “honest” amongst the ...read more

  • The Feast Of Weeks.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 4, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 297 views

    When I was a small boy growing up in England, Whit (or 'White') Sunday was a time when the girls put on new Summer frocks, and the boy wore a new suit. I knew little about Pentecost, but nothing at all about the Feast of Weeks.

    THE FEAST OF WEEKS. Deuteronomy 16:9-12. At first glance the Feast of Weeks appears to be a purely agricultural festival (DEUTERONOMY 16:9-10), an offering of firstfruits to the LORD (cf. Exodus 23:16a; Exodus 34:22a). The timing of the Feast of Weeks is seven weeks and a day (in other words ...read more

  • Under Jesus' Wings

    Contributed by The Rev Deniray Mueller on Mar 14, 2022
     | 2,272 views

    Jesus invites us to come under his sheltering wings, but he cannot force us; we must be willing

    Luke 13:31-35 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our strength, and our redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14). We hear in the Gospel that Jesus refers to Herod as "that fox" (Luke 13:32). This is a symbolic reference to 'the ...read more

     | 1,968 views

    The eyewitness account of the Apostle John.

    THE CROSS OF JESUS. John 19:17-37. JOHN 19:17. “Went forth.” The ultimate sin-offering, outside the gate (cf. Hebrews 13:12-13). JOHN 19:18. “Where they crucified Him.” Typology of the brass serpent (cf. John 3:14). A hanged man is cursed by God (cf. Deuteronomy 21:23), and Jesus became a ...read more

  • The Adoption Of Mephibosheth.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 363 views

    An illustration of what it means to be adopted into the family of God.

    THE ADOPTION OF MEPHIBOSHETH. 2 Samuel 9:6-13. David the son of Jesse, and Jonathan the son of king Saul, were the best of friends. When they parted ways they entered into a covenant in which David vowed to show kindness to Jonathan’s family “for ever” (cf. 1 Samuel 20:14-16). After David became ...read more

  • Just Passing Through.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 11, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 302 views

    Living in a world that is not our home.

    JUST PASSING THROUGH. Psalm 120:1-7. The Psalmist’s testimony is, “In my distress, I cried unto the LORD" (PSALM 120:1a). Prayer is our only recourse in time of trouble (cf. John 16:23-24). It is sure to gain a response from the LORD: “and He heard me” (PSALM 120:1b; cf. Psalm 18:6; Psalm ...read more

    Even our friends might let us down, but God never will.

    TAKE IT TO THE LORD IN PRAYER. Psalm 55:16-22. PSALM 55:16. King David was no stranger to ‘friends’ letting him down, but his bold assertion in the face of betrayal was: “As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.” The God upon whom he calls is the true and living God, the ...read more

  • The Captivity And Restoration Of Manasseh.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 4, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 173 views

    This is an example of the amazing grace of God towards one who was a very ‘chief’ of sinners (cf. 1 Timothy 1:15).

    THE CAPTIVITY AND RESTORATION OF MANASSEH. 2 Chronicles 33:9-13. Bad king Manasseh was a son of good king Hezekiah, but his own style of leadership is here described as “leading Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do evil more than the heathen” (2 CHRONICLES 33:9). ‘Moreover,’ ...read more

Moses’ prayer (NUMBERS 10:35-36) encourages us to begin and end every day, every journey, every project and every ministry with prayer. Our attitude should be one of prayerfulness throughout.

    Keep on praying.

    THE TIME TO FAVOUR ZION. Psalm 102:12-17. Man in his affliction may feel that his days are racing away from him (cf. Psalm 102:11). Yet, before our legitimate prayer (cf. Psalm 102:1) disintegrates into despair, it is well to remind ourselves that “thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever, and thy ...read more
