The Church stands upon the foundation of Christ’s sacrifice and is built up with those the Father adds as individual member components. Jesus Christ promised that He…

Greetings, For a while now we have been giving some attention to developing our understanding of the deeper aspects of the gospel. When the gospel is mentioned, the most common starting point for understanding it is probably the point where Christ began His ministry. Mark records that Christ “… came to Galilee, preaching the gospel…

Trip to Rwanda and Madagascar – March 2018 On March 8th my wife and I made our way to Heathrow airport in London for the short hop over to Amsterdam. As is our custom, we stayed in the Ibis Hotel that night because it is quite inexpensive and has a good shuttle connection to the…

Greetings, Jesus Christ thanked His Father for revealing the things of God to “babes” – meaning those whom the Father had drawn to Christ. “Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him” (Matthew 11:27). This concept occupied a lot of Christ’s thinking, especially…

Greetings, There is nothing more sure in God’s Church than change. In the second and third chapters of Revelation, Christ stresses that it is the overcomers, the changers, who will have their names written in the Book of Life and who will sit with Christ on His throne. So, change toward God and away from…

God wants us all to grow spiritually – both as a group and individually. How we grow individually depends on how much we as children of God invest in the process. In other words, to achieve the level of spiritual maturity that God desires for us, it is important that we realize our personal responsibility.…

Unravelling and understanding these is sometimes difficult because the effect dominates. For example, the subject of climate change has become an emotive debate. The effects are there for all to see. Altered weather patterns are…

Life loses its fragrance without hope and that can lead to depression. Faithful people down through time have struggled with it. King…

The Kingdom of God – An important Element of the Gospel The world has been successively ruled by kingdoms. From a biblical perspective we see this clearly outlined by Daniel as he explains to the Babylonian king the contents of the king’s dream. Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar, “…For the God of heaven has given you a…

Greetings, Gridlock in the physical realm, such as we see within politics today, more often than not is deadlock. Nothing will change until a compromise is struck. And compromise, by its nature, inevitably leads to the further denigration of standards that, at one time, might have been called godly. Chaos, stress and disorder are the…

His strengths and weaknesses are laid bare for us to see. The overall sense that we gain from his life is that he was a man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:22). This tells us a…

Greetings, I was thinking about unity and where it comes from and what unity is anyway. A definition is: something joined as a whole. We all crave more unity. We would like to see our nations, our local communities and particularly our churches and families more united. Unfortunately, we live in an environment where some…
