Heed God's Counsel

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 18, 2025

God counsels us through His Word, His people and through the promptings of the Holy Spirit. There are important lessons we can learn from Lot’s wife, Cain and Jehoshaphat on the consequences of disobedience to God’s counsel. Implicit obedience to the Lord is the secret to a life of peace.

The key verse for today’s meditation is taken from Joshua 3:5, “Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”” (ESV) As Joshua led the people of Israel he admonished them that God was willing to do wonders amongst them, but that in order ...read more

Crossing The Jordan

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 25, 2025

Transformation At The Jordan

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 2, 2025

In His Time
