    Lessons from history as found in the book of Judges

    One of my favourite lines from the TV series, Mash, was the statement that this was the latest ’war to end all wars’.

    Doing battle always requires protection, but we often try to use something flimsy, not employing the help which God gives through others.

    No one in his right mind goes out to do battle without protection. You won’t last long on to any battlefield, whether it be the beaches of Normandy or the sands of Kuwait, if you don’t have some kind of armor. Tanks, flak jackets, bulletproof vests – you must have something to protect your heart, ...read more

    The fundamental stance we have before God is critical to everything else in our lives, for personal idolatries, failed intimacies, and low self-esteem are all results of our not experiencing salvation.

    When I was young, and riding a bicycle, we didn’t wear helmets. Nobody had thought of such a thing. And even if they had, no government was telling us we had to wear helmets. I haven’t even worn so much as a hat since I reached the age of 13, much less a helmet. So when we spilled, we spilled, ...read more

    Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians serves as a terrific model for praying for each other (and our churches, in general).

There is one that we’ll be looking at this morning and there is one in Revelation 2. You see, Ephesus was an ...read more

    Self-centeredness is the main problem for marriages. If you’re married, it’s the main problem in your marriage. If you’re not married, it will be the main problem if you ever get married. If you’re divorced, it probably was the main problem in the marriage you left.
