When you think of God’s Kingdom, do you think of a place in the future or an experience now in your life? The word “kingdom” in the New Testament is the Greek word “basileia” and it is a verb, not a noun, that means to rule or reign. When Jesus shared the Good News of… Continue reading Rom 14v17 – God’s Kingdom
Are you waiting for something from God? As humans, we are generally not very good at waiting. We read Bible stories that, within a few verses or chapters, talk about a prayer and a response. However, often the gap is months or even years apart. Abraham and Sarah waited 25 years for God to answer… Continue reading Psa 37v7 – Still as stone
Who did the nation of Israel worship during their 40 years in the wilderness? You might answer Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The great “I Am” God who brought them out of Egypt. Who parted the sea. Who gave them the Ten Commandments. However, that’s not the correct answer. God says –… Continue reading Deu 4v39 – Who is your god?
Have you heard the story of the whale and the worm? In the story of Jonah, Jonah attempts to run away from God. God had instructed him to warn the people of Nineveh, an enemy city, that if they didn’t change their evil ways, they would be destroyed. Caught in a storm on a ship,… Continue reading Jon 4v11 – The whale and the worm
Did you know that Abraham wasn’t Jewish? He was from Ur, a city in modern-day Iraq. When Yahweh, the God of the Bible, called him, in faith, he left his family and all their idols and followed God. God called him Abraham – father of many nations. From him came Ishmael – father of the… Continue reading Was Abraham Jewish?
Jeep’s slogan is “live without limits”. While this sounds like fun for those seeking adventures, it’s a disaster as a life slogan. Our world is increasingly adopting this slogan. People can behave in any way they want. Define themselves in any way they want. Indulge in anything they want. But it’s not new. Thousands of… Continue reading Psa 16v6 – No limits
I recently stayed in this incredible, unique stay; everything about it was perfect. Best of all, it was far from any civilisation and completely immersed in God’s nature. However, there was one issue: the water from the taps was borehole water, and it tasted like we were drinking salty soup. It left us thirsty and… Continue reading Joh 14v13-14 – Sweet water
Some things can’t be contained. The joy of true friends’ laughter. The peace in a scene painted by a divine hand. The Love of a wedding celebration blessed by God. The emotions burst out unconfined. Love, and joy, and peace coarse through every fibre of our being, bursting out in laughter and radiant faces. “You… Continue reading Isa 55v12 – Bursting with love and joy
Have you been on a play park merry-go-round? To enjoy it, some people sit on the ride while one person spins it as fast as they can. As the ride spins, those sitting close to the centre feel stable while those sitting towards the edge feel the pull and have the greater risk of being… Continue reading Jam 4v8 – Merry Go-Rounds
“What is Truth?” asked Pilate. And there standing before him stood Jesus; ”the way the truth and the life” (John 14:6). What did the Jews choose to do with the Truth standing in front of them? “Crucify Him!” they shouted (Matthew 27:22). Sadly, most of the world today also choose to crucify truth to satisfy… Continue reading Joh 14v16-17 – Killing Truth
