In our passage for today, Jesus starts by saying, ‘Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.’ What do you think of that!? Back in March I told you about an interview I heard on Radio 4.

The Pleasure Of Perfection Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Psalm 84 begins with an expression of pleasure in God's dwelling place. "How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty." There is a deep longing in this song to experience again the pleasure of being in this lovely environment where the presence of God could be felt.

Christians have always had mixed feelings about pleasure. They know God made us to enjoy many pleasures of life, and yet there are also the forbidden pleasures. These are often just extremes of what is acceptable. Sex is good, but immorality is bad. Food is good, but gluttony is bad. Abundance is ...read more

No Perfect People

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on May 13, 2021

Some people believe that Christians are supposed to be and appear perfect, and that the only ones who can attend church are those who “have it all together.” The church is not a country club for saints, but a hospital for sinners.

Life is hard, and there are many people who are wounded and hurting inside, who are dealing with personal and emotional issues. This is true not only of unbelievers, but Christians as well; but all too often we come to church wearing a mask and putting on a show. People will ask us how we’re ...read more

Perfect Or Finished?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 26, 2023

"Perfect" is a single word with a huge load of meaning. Do we have the right idea about the word?

Perfect or Finished? I have to admit my thoughts and feelings when I first heard the Biblical injunction from Jesus, “Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Mt 5:48) I felt horrible; I thought I was doomed. Hell was to be my ultimate destination. Perfect is a single word with a huge ...read more
