Introduction: I remember flying over the Sahara desert in a small 2 seater plane, caught in a sandstorm flying far too close to sea level! There were no ways of knowing where we were going except by visual sightings! We needed to find a road running East-West for us to follow to Galmi. We wereContinue reading “1John 5: 13-21….Final Advice from an aged saint!”

1 John 5: 6-12….Would you call God ‘a liar’ to His face?
This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. IfContinue reading “1 John 5: 6-12….Would you call God ‘a liar’ to His face?”
1 John 5: 1-5 etc….How do I overcome the world and ‘stand out’ for Jesus?
Introduction: “Standing out” can sound a bit self seeking of glory. It could, but it can mean something else! To stand out can mean indicating difference from the surroundings; being out-standing can make the difference between poor, mediocre and excellent advertising. The last recorded words that Jesus spoke when He was on earth as aContinue reading “1 John 5: 1-5 etc….How do I overcome the world and ‘stand out’ for Jesus?”
1 John 4: 13-21….Living in a Perfect world!
13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abidesContinue reading “1 John 4: 13-21….Living in a Perfect world!”
1 John 4: 1-6….The devil is very good at accents!
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and everyContinue reading “1 John 4: 1-6….The devil is very good at accents!”
1 John 3:16-24….Knowing what ‘LOVE’ is!
By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us notContinue reading “1 John 3:16-24….Knowing what ‘LOVE’ is!”
Hebrews 8: 1-10….Our personal representative on site!
Introduction: Words change both in their meaning and their frequency of usage. Some words go ‘out of date’! Where do we meet the term ‘High Priest’ these days? If we are ‘orthodox’ Christians, or belong to some other religion, or are reading books which take us into fantasy lands maybe ‘High Priest’ will be usedContinue reading “Hebrews 8: 1-10….Our personal representative on site!”
Acts 1: 1-11….Au revoir! Till we meet again!
In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearingContinue reading “Acts 1: 1-11….Au revoir! Till we meet again!”
Psalm 72: 1-11….Solomon’s Prayer.
Introduction: Solomon isn’t one of my favourite Bible heroes. He started well but ended up badly. ‘But no one is perfect’ I can hear you say, and certainly I’m not. On the positive side there are such things as this prayer for Solomon which certainly I find a blessing! The leaders prayed this prayer asContinue reading “Psalm 72: 1-11….Solomon’s Prayer.”
Psalm 71; 17-24….A prayer for all ages!
