Destined To Lead

Moses was born to lead. It seems that way when we read Exodus chapters 1 and 2.  Are all leaders born to lead? Are there significant aspects of some Heavenly selection program or does God simply take advantage of the circumstances some find themselves in? I believe we are required again to balance the matter of Gods sovereignty with human responsibility and this takes faith.

Just Passing Through

Our thirst for experience will take us to sometimes weird and wonderful places. Here's one: The St Louis Arch in St Louis Missouri USA: Incredibly there is a small 4 seat

Walk by Faith and not by Sight

Mark 5:36    “...Do not be afraid, ONLY BELIEVE.”

Newsletter 22^nd July 2102

Walking by faith and not by sight is actually much easier than most Christians think.  You are probably sitting down right now reading this article.  It is my assumption that you are sitting on a chair that you probably sit on regularly?  Did you approach that chair cautiously, crawl under it and check out the legs, then the structure and angle of the seat and back rest to make sure that it would hold your weight?  I don’t think so because  you believed that the chair was NOT going to collapse under you as you sat down. 

A Matter of Discretion

1Samuel 25:2-42: The Story of David and Abigail is a classic romance:

Abigail was mismatched probably by arrangement, to an unfortunate man called Nabal (means foolish) - but he was rich...

Gospel Confusion is Hiding the Truth

2 Corinthians 4:3 (NIV) “And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.”

Galatians 1:6-9 (NIV) “ I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel — ⁷ which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! ⁹ As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

I have just read a book by a man that teaches unless we preach the ten commandments there is little to no conviction of sin in a person; so they exhibit a shallow experience of Christ. To bolster his case he cites many dismal statistics of evangelistic campaigns etc. That produced very few converts. I must say that he quotes events that he was not present at nor was he preaching. While his argument sounds good, it is not actually working anywhere in an outstanding way that we might notice!

The Meaning of Hard Times

Our Christian Life is now free from the frantic search for pleasure or power; our life has become a conscious and unconscious search for real spirituality that brings true meaning into every aspect of our lives.
