Walking In Truth

Contributed by Greg Nance on May 22, 2010

He says that it has been the lot of both the minor prophets and the minor epistles to be generally neglected, because with many ...read more

David The Judge: Justice In A Messy World Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 28, 2024

Many people see David as a failure as a judge. But the world of David's time was a messy place. There were reasons why David couldn't do all that he would have liked to do or, we might think, should have done. The Bible doesn't see David as a failure as a judge.

We’re coming towards the end of our series, ‘Learning from David’. Last week, we looked at David the king. We saw that in the Bible, the foundation of God’s throne is righteousness and justice. I suggested that if righteousness and justice are the foundation of GOD’S throne – the key ...read more

The Danger Of Lukewarmness

Contributed by Benjamin Beckley on Sep 1, 2023

Lukewarmness is a dangerous place to be in our relationship with God. When we are lukewarm, we are not fully committed to him. We are not passionate about his love or his ways. We are not willing to put our all into following him.

In the book of Revelation, Jesus warns the church of Laodicea that he will spit them out of his mouth because they are lukewarm. What does it mean to be lukewarm? It means to be neither hot nor cold. It is to be indifferent, half-hearted, and apathetic. Lukewarmness is a dangerous place to be in ...read more
