  • The Trust Of A Little Child

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 18, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,859 views

    Of such is the kingdom of God.

    THE TRUST OF A LITTLE CHILD. Mark 10:13-16. In one of our previous readings, Jesus set a little child in the midst of His disciples (Mark 9:36). Now such children, in the ancient world, had no rights: yet Jesus was happy to scoop such a one up into His holy arms and teach. We noticed then ...read more

  • Towards A New Creation

     | 7,290 views

    Longing for home.

    TOWARDS A NEW CREATION. 2 Corinthians 5:6-17. Having spoken of the impermanence of the ‘tent’ of this body, and the ‘eternity’ of our dwelling in heaven (2 Corinthians 5:1), the Apostle Paul began to mix his metaphors, yearning to be ‘clothed upon’ with ‘our habitation which is from ...read more

  • The Sanctity Of The Sabbath.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 8, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 733 views

    Nobody should be required to work more than six days a week.

    THE SANCTITY OF THE SABBATH. Deuteronomy 5:12-15. The Sabbath is to be “kept” and “sanctified” (i.e. set apart for God) - as the LORD our God has commanded (DEUTERONOMY 5:12). It is to be ‘remembered’ (cf. Exodus 20:8) - which implies that it was already known about prior to the giving of the ...read more

  • The Time Of The End.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 20, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,649 views

    Deliverance in a time of trouble. Resurrection and everlasting life. Wisdom and Witness.

    THE TIME OF THE END. Daniel 12:1-3. DANIEL 12:1. “And at that time.” This reaches beyond the prophesied histories of the previous chapter to ‘the time of the end’ (cf. Daniel 11:35). “Michael” = 'Who is like God?' Various commentators throughout Christian history have ...read more

  • The Ark Brought Up To Jerusalem.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 13, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 969 views

    All our actions should be regulated by the word of God.

    THE ARK BROUGHT UP TO JERUSALEM. 2 Samuel 6:1-5, 2 Samuel 6:12-19. No sooner had David been anointed king over all Israel, than the Philistines came up against him. David’s instinct back then was to ‘enquire of the LORD’ as to what he should do (cf. 2 Samuel 5:17-19). And David ‘did as the LORD ...read more

  • Trusting God.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,233 views

    Our refuge is in the LORD.

    TRUSTING GOD. Psalm 91:9-16. Christians under persecution have testified to the literal truth of Psalm 91:9-10 – but this does not alter the fact that Christians still do suffer. There are times when God does not deliver us FROM things, but rather delivers us IN things (Romans 8:37). The ...read more

  • Living The Gospel.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,160 views

    The practical outworking of our relationship with the Father of lights

    LIVING THE GOSPEL. James 1:17-27. 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

  • The Eternal God And The Brevity Of Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 7, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,962 views

    A prayer of Moses the man of God.

    THE ETERNAL GOD AND THE BREVITY OF LIFE. Psalm 90. 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 ...read more

  • Rich And Poor In The Church Of Jesus Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,626 views

    There are no 'untouchables' with God!

    RICH AND POOR IN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST. James 2:1-17. James 2:1. The Greek of this section of the letter of James begins somewhat abruptly: “My brethren, not with partialities!” The impact of the whole sentence is: “Do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ with respect of persons.” ...read more

  • An Everlasting Throne

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,222 views

    Nevertheless: The faithfulness of God.

    AN EVERLASTING THRONE Psalm 89:27-37. There is a tension in this Psalm, between the LORD’s promise of an everlasting dynasty for the line of David (Psalm 89:3-4; Psalm 89:28), and the complaint of the Psalmist (Psalm 89:38). However, the LORD’s “Nevertheless” (Psalm 89:33) trumps the ...read more

  • God Is My Helper.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 4, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,208 views

    Prayer starts with God, not us.

    GOD IS MY HELPER. Psalm 54:1-7. The superscription to this Psalm associates it with a particular act of betrayal. David was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 23:15); and his neighbours, members of his own tribe, reported his whereabouts to his pursuers (1 Samuel 23:19). However, in the ...read more

  • What Happens When Faith Comes From Within

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 15, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,171 views

    The obverse side of the previous conversation: what comes out of the mouth when the heart is full of faith.

    WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FAITH COMES FROM WITHIN. Mark 7:24-37. In the earlier part of this 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 (Mark 7:1-23). It is ...read more

  • From Alienation To Reconciliation.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 15, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,279 views

    "For through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father" (Ephesians 2:18).

    FROM ALIENATION TO RECONCILIATION. Ephesians 2:11-22. EPHESIANS 2:11. Paul addresses the Ephesian church as being “in times past Gentiles in the flesh.” and he points to the historic antagonism between Jews and non-Jews. On the one hand, Gentiles were scorned as “the Uncircumcision;” on the ...read more

  • Israel Exalted.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,081 views

    Re-establishing the Davidic dynasty through Jesus.

    ISRAEL EXALTED. Ezekiel 17:22-24. The word of the LORD came ‘expressly’ to the priest Ezekiel in ‘the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity’ (cf. Ezekiel 1:2-3). Our present chapter is a ‘riddle,’ or an allegory: ‘a parable unto the house of Israel’ (EZEKIEL 17:2). It speaks of two eagles: ...read more

  • The Ins And Outs Of Religious Purity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 8, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,777 views

    Timeless teaching from Jesus as to the true nature and source of sin.

    THE INS AND OUTS OF ‘RELIGIOUS’ PURITY. Mark 7:1-23. Every branch of society has its own traditions: some good, some bad, and some inconsequential. It doesn’t matter whether it is the pomp and ceremony of monarchy, or the ritual ‘pardon’ of a turkey at Thanksgiving. Some traditions are ...read more
