    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 11, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 930 views

    There is no separating out until the harvest.

    THE PARABLE OF THE WEEDS. Matthew 13:24-30. The interpretation of the parable of the wheat and the tares (MATTHEW 13:24-30) should not be a matter of contention, as Jesus Himself gives the interpretation in Matthew 13:36-43. MATTHEW 13:24. “The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 587 views

    A house divided against itself, a strong man overcome; and the nature of true blessedness.

    SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS AND TRUE BLESSEDNESS. Luke 11:14-28. The spiritual blindness of the people opposed to Jesus is demonstrated in their reaction to His good works. Their refusal to hear His message is echoed in their speaking out against Him. LUKE 11:14. A demon-possessed man, who was ...read more

    The ultimate Son of man, the new Adam, is given dominion over all mankind.

    JESUS CLAIMS HIS KINGDOM. Daniel 7:13-14. In DANIEL 7:13, “one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him.” In the Gospels, ‘Son of man’ is Jesus’ favourite name for Himself (cf. Mark 14:61-62). It was understood to ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 634 views

    Shaping our prayers in accordance with what we know about the character of God.

    A BOLD PRAYER. Genesis 18:23-32. The conversation between the LORD and Abraham suggests a relationship. God shares His Word with His covenant children, and prompts us to respond. If we are made privy to the purposes of the LORD then we may, without presumptuousness, speak our mind about ...read more

     | 2,707 views

    Faith demonstrated in the margins of life.

    A CRUMB FROM THE TABLE. Matthew 15:21-28. In the earlier part of the chapter, Jesus had disputed with some Scribes and Pharisees about ritual and tradition; and had taught those who would hear that defilement does not come from without, but from within. It is also true to say that FAITH flows ...read more

    The Dumb Donkey Spoke.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 19, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 297 views

    The King who feared a people who were no threat to him; the blind Seer and dumbfounded Soothsayer who could neither see nor curse; and the dumb donkey who saw and spoke for God.

    THE DUMB DONKEY SPOKE. Numbers 22:21-31. After Israel’s defeat of the Amorites, who had once conquered lands belonging to Moab (cf. Numbers 21:26), the Moabites were terrified at the presence of the children of Israel (cf. Numbers 22:2-3). [They need not have been, because the LORD had expressly ...read more

     | 657 views

    The LORD is God alone, and will tolerate no rivals.

    LOVE THE LORD THY GOD. Deuteronomy 6:4-9. One of the core texts in the whole Bible is the Shema (DEUTERONOMY 6:4-5). “Hear O Israel…” is something of a refrain in Deuteronomy, much as Jesus would later often say, ‘he who has ears to hear, let him hear.’ Here we are told who the LORD is, and ...read more

     | 8,119 views

    When faith fails, then flesh takes over.

    ISAAC AND ISHMAEL. Galatians 4:21-31. 1. The History. The history of Ishmael and Isaac is the history of the struggle between flesh and spirit, between the carnal seed and the spiritual seed, between the world's way and God's way. In the first place, Abraham had faith. The LORD ...read more

    Understanding the Person of God through His works of Creation, Providence, and Redemption.

    A COMMITMENT TO PRAISE THE LORD. Psalm 111:1-10. After the initial exhortation to “Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 111:1), this song forms an acrostic, using all twenty-two Hebrew letters in alphabetical order. As for the Psalmist, he has determined: “I will praise the LORD with my whole heart” ...read more

    ABRAM STEPS OUT IN FAITH. Genesis 12:1-4. Our story begins in Ur of the Chaldees, in what is now Southern Iraq, a predominantly pagan city of about 250,000 people, with a central temple to the moon god Sin.

     | 806 views

    The unchangeable Father of lights brought us forth by the Word of truth.

    BORN AGAIN BY THE WORD OF TRUTH. James 1:17-21. James has already indicated that our God is a generous Giver (James 1:5). Here he cites God as the inexhaustible source of “every good act of giving, and every perfect gift” (James 1:17a). There is not so much as a shadow cast as a result of any ...read more

    Reverencing God, and making a right application of the truth about the brevity of our lives.

    NUMBERING OUR DAYS. Psalm 90:1-12. Psalm 90:1. It is remarkable that the children of Israel survived 400 years in Egypt, and for some of that time under unspeakable oppression. Yet despite their hard labour and sorrow, the LORD had been their dwelling place “from generation to generation”. This ...read more
