    Faith gives us a heightened respect for nature so that we "discern in it a grammar written by the hand of God." God's Fatherhood makes it possible for us to live together with one heart and one will.

    Thursday of the 11th Week in Course 2014 Lumen Fidei Where did we get the idea that God is our Father? Surely the definitive statement of God’s fatherhood is in this prayer we learned from Jesus, the Son. Still, we didn’t fully know what a father is until Jesus came and established ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Seventeen. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER SEVENTEEN OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that the covenant between God and Abram renewed. In the process, Abram’s name is changed and circumcision becomes a part of the agreement. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 17 God renews the covenant with Abram: changes ...read more

     | 2,180 views

    It is always so easy to begin but holding on to the end is always difficult but therein lies the joy of the beginning. Holding on to the finishing line and reaping the reward of a beginning is all that matters in Christ Jesus!

    BETTER IS THE END OF A MATTER Ecclesiastes 7:8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. The word of God makes it clear that the life of a child of God is always going towards a perfect directing. By this, I mean ...read more

    When faced with choosing between friends or family members, the dilemma intensifies. This is where favoritism, the act of unfairly preferring one person or thing over others, comes into the picture.

    Greetings to all. Let's ponder on something: each day, we make 35,000 decisions!

    Are we progressing in the faith or are we, like many of those Hebrew Christians: • dull of hearing • still need to be taught elementary truth • babies wanting milk, not solid food?

    In the earlier chapters we have studied some wonderful passages about the Saviour’s divinity and humanity and His wonderful fitness to be our merciful and faithful High-priest. Now we are going to move on to some rather difficult or unpalatable passages. It is tempting to skip these, but they are ...read more
