    No looking back!

    THE CALL OF ELISHA. Abridged. 1 Kings 19:19-21. The LORD’s practical response to His despondent servant Elijah was to call him back to duty, and to give him the responsibility for the anointing of (amongst others) a young apprentice for Elijah to mentor (cf. 1 Kings 19:16). This was delegation ...read more

     | 791 views

    "Am I my brother's keeper?" (Genesis 4:9).

    CAIN AND ABEL. Genesis 4:2-15. The acceptance of Abel’s offering as opposed to Cain’s is often explained in terms of THE NATURE OF THE SACRIFICE. We are reminded that ‘almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood, there is no remission’ (cf. Hebrews 9:22). ...read more

    When we pray aright, God grants all that we ask, and more besides.

    WISDOM AND WORSHIP. 1 Kings 3:5-15. In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night. “Ask what I shall give thee,” offered the LORD (1 KINGS 3:5).

    Applying Christian ethics to our daily dealings.

    NEIGHBOURS. Leviticus 19:13-18. This section deals with certain ethical matters, framed for the economic, social, judicial, and neighbourly aspects of daily living.

    “I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel” (2 KINGS 5:15).

    NAAMAN THE SYRIAN. 2 Kings 5:9-16. It must have been quite a commotion: Naaman and his entourage, horses and chariot and all, turning up at the door of the house of Elisha (2 KINGS 5:9). Naaman was a mighty man, but he was afflicted by some form of leprosy (cf. 2 Kings 5:1). The prophet sent a ...read more

    Celebrating the works of the LORD.

    THANKS AND PRAISE. Psalm 92:1-6. The designation “for the sabbath day” is both unique, and interesting. The sabbath was instituted in the first instance as a commemoration of Creation (cf. Exodus 20:11), but also in celebration of Redemption (cf. Deuteronomy 5:15). “O LORD, how great are thy ...read more

    "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD" (PSALM 33:12).

    THE CREATOR GOD, OUR REDEEMER. Psalm 33:6-12. PSALM 33:6-7. “The word of the LORD” (cf. Psalm 33:4) is the same powerful, Creative word by which the cosmos was created (cf. Genesis 1:3).

    All things DO work together for good for those who love the Lord (cf. Romans 8:28).

    JOSEPH REVEALS HIS IDENTITY. Genesis 45:1-7, Genesis 45:15. The Old Testament Joseph is very much a Type of Christ. Favoured by his father (cf.

    "And all the people stood to the Covenant" (2 Kings 23:3).

    STANDING TO THE COVENANT. 2 Kings 22:8-10, 2 Kings 23:1-3.

    ANGER AND RECONCILIATION. Matthew 5:20-26. MATTHEW 5:20.

    "Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing."

    CALLED TO BLESS. 1 Peter 3:8-15a. Peter names five virtues whereby we might be a blessing to one another (1 PETER 3:8). (i). Like-mindedness; i.e. living in harmony with one another.

    Our compassionate Lord.

    FOUR THOUSAND FED. Mark 8:1-10a. We have had occasion before to comment on Jesus’ compassion (cf. Mark 6:34). Now we see it in relation to another hungry crowd of worshippers, who had been willingly following Jesus for three days (Mark 8:1-3). How like us the disciples were, who could ...read more

    HE HAS DONE ALL THINGS WELL. Mark 7:31-37. Jesus was heading towards the Sea of Galilee (Mark 7:31).
