    Ask What I Shall Give Thee

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 18, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,853 views

    The gift of wisdom.

    ASK WHAT I SHALL GIVE THEE 1 Kings 2:10-12; 1 Kings 3:3-14 After his sordid affair with Bathsheba - and his engineering of her husband’s murder - David had taken Bathsheba as his wife: but the child of their infidelity had died. Now, upon the death of David, one born within the bounds of ...read more

    O How I Love Your Word

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,860 views

    Not just reading the Scriptures, or hearing them, but speaking them, owning them!

    O HOW I LOVE YOUR WORD. Psalm 119:97-104. Psalm 119:97. The Blessed man avoids the walk of the ungodly, the stance of sinners and the seat of the scornful. ‘But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law does he meditate (both) day and night’ (cf. Psalm 1:1-2). A similar dichotomy is ...read more

    A Comprehensive Psalm Of Praise

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 10, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,244 views

    God's providence, and our response to it.

    A COMPREHENSIVE PSALM OF PRAISE. Psalm 145:10-18. We read in the New Testament about the whole Creation groaning (Romans 8:22), eagerly awaiting the revelation of the children of God (Romans 8:19). Not only so, but those who have the first-fruits of the Spirit (i.e. Christians) are also ...read more

    Two Kinds Of Servitude

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 20, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,461 views

    Two ways of life. Two very different masters. Two pathways: one leading to death, and one leading to life. Two very different paydays.

    TWO KINDS OF SERVITUDE. Romans 6:12-23. What we are, and whose we are, shapes what we do with what we've got. Negatively, the Apostle Paul encourages us to resist any attempt that sin makes to usurp authority in our physical lives (Romans 6:12). Even for Christians, the body and its ...read more

    A Context For The Hymn

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 3, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,002 views

    The obedience of Christ elicits, draws out, the obedience of Christians.

    A CONTEXT FOR THE HYMN. Philippians 2:1-13. The word “If” that opens this passage might better be translated as “Since” (Philippians 2:1). The sense is, “If there is any encouragement in Christ (and there is), if any consolation in love (and there is), if any fellowship (sharing) in the Spirit ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,649 views

    Exhortations, and a very important promise.

    A CONTEXT FOR THE CALL TO REJOICE. Philippians 4:1-9. ‘Our conversation is in heaven,’ said the Apostle in the previous chapter, ‘from whence also we are awaiting (as) Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ’ (cf. Philippians 3:20-21). “So, my brethren… stand fast in the Lord” (Philippians 4:1). Paul ...read more

    Rich And Poor In The Church Of Jesus Christ (Concluded).

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 26, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,628 views

    There are no untouchables with God.

    RICH AND POOR IN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST (concluded). 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 ...read more

    The Complaint Of Jeremiah.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,273 views

    I was like a lamb, led to the slaughter.

    THE COMPLAINT OF JEREMIAH. Jeremiah 11:18-20. The last of the ‘good’ kings of Judah was Josiah, whose name means ‘he will be sustained of the LORD’ (2 Chronicles 34:2). Long story short, having purged the land of idols, Josiah sent men to repair the Temple (2 Chronicles 34:8), and they found ...read more

    Come Up Hither.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 4, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,043 views

    Whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

    COME UP HITHER. Proverbs 25:6-7. This proverb is doubtless what Jesus had in mind when He made His own parable about people choosing the finest seats for themselves at a feast (Luke 14:7-11). There are always ranks in society, any society. Solomon speaks of a king, and of “great men.” ...read more

     | 1,316 views

    The hand of the LORD shall be known to His servants.

    THE FAITHFUL COMFORTED. Isaiah 66:10-14. This short passage was originally addressed to the faithful remnant within Israel, a nation within a nation if you will, a nation as it were ‘born in a day’ (cf. Isaiah 66:8). ISAIAH 66:10. These were the faithful who kept hope alive, even through ...read more

     | 1,462 views

    He does not allow our foot to slip.

    A SPACIOUS PLACE. Psalm 66:1-12. The superscription to this Psalm is addressed, “To the chief musician. A Song or Psalm.” Whether sung or spoken, it is a call to all nations to “Make a joyful noise” to God (Psalm 66:1). Which God? Well, compare Psalm 100:1, where YHWH, ‘the LORD’ is named. ...read more

    Covenant People In The Dock.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 30, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,231 views

    When He calls His covenant people to judgment, those bound to Him by sacrifice, it is not necessarily something to strike terror into our hearts: because that covenant is true, and that all-sufficient sacrifice is Jesus.

    COVENANT PEOPLE IN THE DOCK. Psalm 50:1-8, Psalm 50:22-23. “A Psalm of Asaph,” reads the superscription. Asaph was a chief musician contemporary with King David (1 Chronicles 16:4-7). Asaph is also referred to as a ‘seer’ (2 Chronicles 29:30). Taken as a whole, the content of this ...read more

    Now Faith Is.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 1, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,159 views

    The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

    NOW FAITH IS. Hebrews 11:1-3, Hebrews 11:8-16. This chapter follows on from the quotation of Habakkuk 2:4 in Hebrews 10:38a: ‘the just shall live by faith’ (see also Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11). “Now faith is,” continues Hebrews 11:1. The first thing that we learn about faith is that ...read more

    Open Your Mouth Wide And I Will Fill It.

     | 2,670 views

    The finest of wheat, and honey out of the Rock.

    OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE AND I WILL FILL IT. Psalm 81:1, Psalm 81:10-16. If we allow that the summons to praise (Psalm 81:1) is a call to celebrate the kingship of the LORD, it is because He, and He alone, is God (Psalm 81:9-10; cf. Deuteronomy 6:4-5). Psalm 81:10. “I am the LORD your God, who ...read more

    Create In Me A Clean Heart.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 5, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,671 views

    A faithful confession of sin.

    CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART. Psalm 51:1-10. In this solemn Psalm of repentance, we dive in (headfirst, as it were) with a plea for mercy. The verbs “have mercy… blot out… wash me… cleanse me” (Psalm 51:1-2) all appear to be in the imperative: but they are in fact plaintive pleas based in the fact ...read more
