    The two states of being, the two ways of life: confronting our own hearts.

    A TREE PLANTED BY THE WATERS. Jeremiah 17:5-10. The prophet Jeremiah’s response to the political and international situation of his day was, “Thus says the LORD” (Jeremiah 17:5). And what does the LORD say? He says, in effect, that there are two states of being, and two ways of life: and ...read more

    The exhortation to Watch must be balanced with the command to Occupy (do business) until I come.

    THE ASCENSION OF JESUS Acts 1:1-11 The Acts of the Apostles is a continuation of the account of The Gospel According to Luke. There is a definite continuity between the two books.

    Coming back to our senses in the far country.

    THE PRODIGAL SON. Luke 15:1-3, Luke 15:11-32. ‘Horror of horrors!’ proclaimed the scribes and Pharisees. The tax-collectors and ‘sinners’ were drawing near to hear the words of Jesus!

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,512 views

    Man in sin is lost, whether he is aware of it or not. Jesus came to seek that which was lost. The testimony of Christians is, I once was lost, but now am found.

    A LOST SHEEP AND A LOST COIN. Luke 15:1-10. In the first parable of today’s reading we see the caring shepherd. He left his ninety-nine other sheep in order to seek the one that was lost, until he had found it. This is an image which is familiar from both the Old Testament and the New Testament: ...read more

    The ascension, enthronement, and return of Jesus.

    THE LORD UPON HIS THRONE. Psalm 93. This Psalm is about, first and foremost, the Creator God upon His throne. He is “robed with majesty” (Psalm 93:1). He has also, incidentally, “established” the created order. However, we are not to worship the creation (I interject), as it is only the ...read more

    Instructions to the man of God.

    ORDERS OF THE DAY. 1 Timothy 6:6-19. # A WORD TO POOR CHRISTIANS (1 Timothy 6:6-10.)

This contentment arises not from ...read more

    The knitting together of kindred hearts in covenant love.

    THE DEW OF HERMON. Psalm 133:1-3.

    There are some things in life which we must do alone.

    A BEATIFIC EPIPHANY OF GOD. Exodus 24:12-18. Seventy-four people were called by the LORD to ‘come up’ and ‘worship afar off’ (Exodus 24:1).

    JOSEPH’S DREAM. Matthew 1:18-25. Joseph was a dreamer. This was true of the Old Testament Joseph, the son of Jacob, derogatively referred to as “this dreamer” (cf. Genesis 37:19).

    Make me an offer I can't refuse!

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

    Well it’s almost here, and almost gone. By the end of the day on Wednesday it’ll be over. The presents will be opened, the turkey will have been eaten, the carols will have been sung and for all practical purposes Christmas 2002 will be but a fond memory. And yet it is only 17 weeks until we ...read more
