  • This Is The Commandment.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 15, 2021

     | 2,386 views

    Hear O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one. Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:4-5.

    THIS IS THE COMMANDMENT. Deuteronomy 6:1-9. “This is the commandment” (Deuteronomy 6:1) is emphatic. The whole law is boiled down to the one commandment to “love the LORD thy God” (Deuteronomy 6:5). The outworking of this commandment is seen in our ‘loving our neighbours as ourselves’ ...read more

  • A Basket Of Ripe Summer Fruit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 7, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,506 views

    Seek God, do justice - before it is too late.

    A BASKET OF RIPE SUMMER FRUIT. Amos 8:1-12. This vision and its interpretation is based in a pun: the Hebrew word for “Summer fruit” sounds almost identical with the word translated “the end” (Amos 8:1-2). Read Amos 4:6-11 for a litany of the temporal judgments which the LORD laid upon ...read more

  • The Allure Of Wisdom

     | 4,987 views

    Wisdom's plaintive plea. The danger of refusal. A promise to those who will hear.

    THE ALLURE OF WISDOM. Proverbs 1:20-33. One day I was out shopping on one of the pedestrianised streets of Norwich, England, when a sudden commotion stopped me in my tracks. The City Crier’s vigorous ringing of his hand-bell, and his cry of ‘Oh Yay! Oh Yay!’ seemed to be right in my ear, and ...read more

  • A Great Throng Of Returning Exiles.

     | 1,505 views

    I will lead them.

    A GREAT THRONG OF RETURNING EXILES. Jeremiah 31:7-9. This song calls us to gladness for Jacob (Jeremiah 31:7). Jacob is referred to as the chief - or foremost - of the nations (Jeremiah 31:7). This did not square with the present experience of either Ephraim or Judah - scattered and in exile - ...read more

  • Rich And Poor In The Church Of Jesus Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,558 views

    There are no 'untouchables' with God!

    RICH AND POOR IN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST. James 2:1-17. James 2:1. The Greek of this section of the letter of James begins somewhat abruptly: “My brethren, not with partialities!” The impact of the whole sentence is: “Do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ with respect of persons.” ...read more

  • God Is My Helper.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 4, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,043 views

    Prayer starts with God, not us.

    GOD IS MY HELPER. Psalm 54:1-7. The superscription to this Psalm associates it with a particular act of betrayal. David was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 23:15); and his neighbours, members of his own tribe, reported his whereabouts to his pursuers (1 Samuel 23:19). However, in the ...read more

  • Israel As Vine

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 3, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,039 views

    A plea for grace: Turn us again, O God of hosts.

    ISRAEL AS VINE. Psalm 80:7-15. The Psalmist bemoans the plight of the divided tribes of Israel, and boldly expresses his perplexity at God’s dealings with them. Belief in the God of Israel is not blind faith, but an informed trust. One expression of our confidence that the LORD is in control ...read more

  • Pray Not For This People!

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 9, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,514 views

    The context of Jeremiah 14:11.

    PRAY NOT FOR THIS PEOPLE! Jeremiah 14:7-10, Jeremiah 14:19-22. A series of droughts affected Judah during the reign of King Jehoiakim. The watercourses were empty, the ground was chapped, and there was no grass for the livestock. Nobles and their children, ploughmen, and both domestic and ...read more

  • We Have Heard The Joyful Sound.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 28, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,504 views

    Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. Psalm 89:15.

    WE HAVE HEARD THE JOYFUL SOUND. Psalm 89:1-4, Psalm 89:15-18. The Psalmist Ethan twice applauds the LORD’s mercy and faithfulness (PSALM 89:1-2). This reassurance is rooted in the LORD’s covenant promise to David (PSALM 89:3). The “seed” whose throne is “for ever” (PSALM 89:4) ultimately ...read more

  • Words And Meditation.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 29, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 186 views

    A prayer for guidance.

    WORDS AND MEDITATION. Psalm 5:1-8. PSALM 5:1. David longs for a hearing from the LORD: “Give ear to my words, O LORD” (cf. Psalm 54:2; Psalm 55:1). Then he adds, “consider my meditation.” We see the same combination of words and meditation in the well-known quotation from Psalm 19:14. If we ...read more

  • Against Hypocrisy

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 12, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,475 views

    A court case - with the people of God in the dock.

    AGAINST HYPOCRISY. Psalm 50:1-8; Psalm 50:16-23. “A Psalm of Asaph,” reads the superscription. Asaph was a chief musician contemporary with King David (1 Chronicles 16:4-7). Asaph is also referred to as a ‘seer’ (2 Chronicles 29:30). Taken as a whole, the content of this Psalm appears ...read more

  • The Time Of The End.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,549 views

    Deliverance in a time of trouble. Resurrection and everlasting life. Wisdom and Witness.

    THE TIME OF THE END. Daniel 12:1-3. DANIEL 12:1. “And at that time.” This reaches beyond the prophesied histories of the previous chapter to ‘the time of the end’ (cf. Daniel 11:35). “Michael” = 'Who is like God?' Various commentators throughout Christian history have ...read more

  • Happy Are Those Whose Strength Is In Thee.

     | 1,680 views

    When we are walking in the way of the LORD, it is He who is leading us.

    HAPPY ARE THOSE WHOSE STRENGTH IS IN THEE. Psalm 84:1-7. 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 ...read more

  • Unity In Diversity - Complete.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,137 views

    The church is an ongoing mutually upbuilding and up-growing work.

    UNITY IN DIVERSITY. Ephesians 4:1-16. 1. Our unity is based in the unity of all three Persons of the Godhead (Ephesians 4:1-6). EPHESIANS 4:1. We are asked to “walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called” How do we do that? EPHESIANS 4:2. “With all lowliness” = humility. Like the ...read more

  • Love Overcoming Evil.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,050 views

    Fervent Christian service.

    LOVE OVERCOMING EVIL. Romans 12:9-21. I). GENUINE LOVE. Romans 12:9-13. In Greek, the first clause of Romans 12:9 has no verb, so could literally be rendered “love without hypocrisy” or “love unfeigned”. From this, I have taken ‘Genuine Love’ as a title for this section. The second clause ...read more
