    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Oct 25, 2021
    based on 3 ratings

    There is an adage: "Strike while the iron is hot". When the time is right, you should act. You should seize the moment or you will lose your opportunity. We are called to be a witness and to bring others to Jesus. We need to strike when God gives us an opportunity.

    There is an adage ... that you may still hear at times even today: .... "Strike ... while the iron is hot". The saying is basically telling us .... that when the time is right... you should act... you should seize the moment ... or you will miss out ... on your opportunity. The adage ...read more

    “I can’t do much…I don’t have much to give” are statements often made by Christians who would really love to serve God in some way, yet they often feel too small for God to use. Thanks Gary Huckaby for the original writing.

    Philadelphia always stayed faithful to the Christian faith until the end of its history, a powerful testament to the nature of a church for which Jesus had no admonition nor condemnation. God grant that we, too, may have that faithfulness to the end.

    Not all of us have the same wages, same privileges, same opportunities, same talents, same abilities, same health conditions! Whatever it may be, we can be 100 per cent certain that our satisfaction comes from God and not from what we have.

    A God who Satisfies And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little. Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed. Exodus 16:18 God led the people out of Egypt. In Egypt, Pharaoh asked Joseph to ...read more

    Not everyone is called to the mud-in-the-eye ministry, but if you are then you’ll be a miserable failure trying to do anything else. John 9 offers us an opportunity to spend time with Jesus in the school of ministry.

    Thoughts About The Trinity

    Trinity Sunday gives us an opportunity to study one of the most difficult themes of the Christian faith, the concept of one God in three persons. The Trinity is important because in a real way it shows us how God does his thing.

    Last Sunday was Pentecost Sunday, the day we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit with power upon the disciples. As the disciples proclaimed the wonderful works of God in their own language, but Jews from all ...read more
