Jesus – The ‘Word’ For All
When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and talked abusively against what Paul was saying. Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: ‘We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we turn now to the Gentiles.
Paul’s Boast – The Only Healthy Spiritual BoastWhen we’re found boasting unlike Paul – i.e. of our strength, feats, know-how, adequacy, faith et cetera – we’re ironically showing everyone our weakness. The fact is we truly desire affirmation, for we’ve not allowed God to affirm us as God is so apt at doing when we ask. We, in these moments, have failed to live our faith.
Citizenship is about belonging; it defines where we belong and how we belong. It helps form for us the very real identity of ourselves as we ‘pertain’ to our varying life situations. A BETTER citizenship is available than any on earth!
The Psychology of ObedienceObedience bemuses; its lustre, elusive. When we least want to obey, but do so, we can still gain. Where all power to obey is lost, however, then we stand only to lose.
Reversing the Flow of Play – Making Faith WorkWisdom constructs often work in paradoxes, ironies and reversals. Get to the ‘obvious-in-hindsight’ wisdom and it always seemed like such a strange journey. There is a key reversal we need to explore to get our faith to work.
One Touch!Jesus’ healing power is not only known and revered in the gospels, but throughout church history unto life in the present moment. This is beyond Jesus to the Holy Spirit.
What’s the point? Could be our general reaction to things that seldom concern us. We may think if it has nothing to do with us then why bother. If it is no concern of ours or we are disinterested in it then we have the right to remain neutral and passive. Only on one condition are we truly justified in feeling this way spiritually and that is if we have no knowledge of it. However if it has been brought to our attention then we have a part to play irrespective of whether we want to or not.
If You Are in a Spiritual Wilderness That Does Not Necessarily Mean You Are Out of the Will of GodIf you are in the wilderness that does not necessarily mean you are out of the Will of Almighty God. There are many who go through dry wilderness experiences for lengthy seasons and emerge stronger. God may take a disciple of Jesus Christ through various stages. Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and even the apostles had to go through various stages of testing. The problem can be the waiting, not knowing when it is all over.
God is Love – Are We Abiding in His Love?As a believer, we should live a life to the glory of our heavenly Father and be a witness to the world of the blessing to abide in His love through our faith and obedience (2 Corinthians 6:3). We can eternally rest in the love of our Father through Jesus Christ.

Profound Spirituality and True and Real Inspiration Can Be Found in This Enriching DocumentHow often it has been said over these past years and I have heard it frequently. Why does not God do something? God has. Almighty God has done all he can do and could do. There is nothing more and nothing further He can do, other than that great and marvellous day when the risen and living and ascended Lord Jesus Christ returns to sort out everything that is wrong and to deal with the thorny issue of judgement.
