    Your prayers come before God like sweet smelling incense! This is a short homily given at a residential care home for the elderly.

    [NOTE: You may find it helpful to place a wooden cross on a table, perhaps in the centre of the room, and to burn a small amount of incense near to the foot of the cross. The incense rising around the cross can provide a wonderful visual and ’nazal’ illustration. The nurses at the care home said ...read more

    Prayer is communion with God, without it our spirit's ability to "transact" or communicate in the realm of the spirit is bankrupt. The more effective and fervently we prayer, the more we refuel, rekindle and empower our spirit for effective living.

    “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man makes power available.” - James 5:16b If you have a mobile phone, chances are, you’re familiar with the statement "recharge your account balance". This is the information we receive when we have run out or are running low on our ...read more

    The Christian faith, after all, is deeply personal. When we abide in Christ, we rest in God.

    OUR REST ONLY IN GOD. Psalm 84:1-4. At the end of the celebration of Passover, in Jewish homes scattered throughout the world, the parting toast is, ‘Next year in Jerusalem!’ The sentiment echoes a common consciousness, a restlessness if you will, which is forever drawing God’s people back ...read more

    The one who brings salvation, and a safe dwelling place for His people, is ‘the LORD our righteousness’ (JEREMIAH 23:6).

The prophet uses the image of a righteous Branch growing out of a felled tree – which so wonderfully typifies God’s dealings with His people.

    Incomplete obedience is disobedience. And yet, many fellow Christians attempt to serve God while living for the world. We need to discover the will of the Lord and courageously do that will.

He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. And he did what was right in the eyes of ...read more

     | 4,020 views

    Instead of making New Year’s resolutions, we need to develop a lifestyle of connections that will enable us to be Jesus’ true disciples.

    Each year around this time of year, 40 to 45% of American adults make one or more New Year’s resolutions. But only a week later, on average, we’ve already abandoned one-quarter of those resolutions and by the middle of the year, less than one-half are maintained. No wonder someone once described ...read more
