Stand on the Rock

by Christel Baxter

One of the special characteristics of God to me personally is the fact that He’s referred to in the Bible as our rock: ‘He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God Who does no wrong, upright and just is He’ (Deuteronomy 32:4). One of my life-scriptures that...

Reaching Out

by Bernard Kariuki

The Bible contains many stories of people who reached out to Jesus, but in doing so risked public opposition or accusation of breaking the law. For example, there were the friends of the paralysed man who tore off the roof to bring him to Jesus, the ten lepers, considered outcasts, who risked their lives...

The Offensive Inclusivity of Jesus

by

In the Gospels, we see Jesus mix with all the "wrong" people. He’s not afraid to eat with tax collectors and sinners (Luke 19:1-10). Nor is He is disgusted by the impurity of the sick, Jew and gentile alike (Matthew 15:21-28). Jesus’ inclusivity shocks the religious leaders of the day. Why? Because...

Daily Practice

by Dean Gardner

The reality is that learning any skill, such as playing a musical instrument, takes consistent practice and hard work – there aren’t any short cuts. I’ve been thinking recently how, in a similar way, there aren’t any short cuts to growing in our relationship with Jesus. We can’t have an intense...

That I May Not Cause Pain

by

Not much is known about Jabez, as Scripture offers limited information about him. However, it does highlight that he was more honourable than his brothers, which speaks of his true character. Interestingly, his mother chose to name him Jabez, which means “the one who causes pain,” because she experienced...

Accept and Reject

by Peter Brokaar

Acceptance in something we all long for and hopefully it is something we have received in some measure throughout our lives. Rejection is something we all could do without, but, sadly, we have all experienced this to one degree or other as well. There is a God-given desire in our hearts to know true,...

Not of this World

by Ron Scurfield

We all have our own personal struggles in life. For some it may be a continual, ongoing battle with injustice, pain, or fear. For others it might seem like an endless effort just to keep their head above the water. They might say, “Surely, as Christians, we should expect more than this? Must we continually...

A Certain Place

by John Sainsbury

As His disciples watched Jesus praying, one of them asked Him to teach them how to pray, just as John (the Baptist) had taught his disciples (Luke 11:1). From this one verse we can learn quite a lot. Firstly, John the Baptist had disciples who followed him, just as Jesus also had disciples following...

Trusting In God When Nothing Makes Sense

by Philip Asselin

Those first two words spoken to Saul by Ananias, “Brother Saul”, struck me as a powerful declaration. Because they show that he had totally believed what God had spoken to him. Let’s go back over this story, briefly, so you can see the importance. Saul was vehemently against the followers of Jesus...

Our Passport to Heaven

by Gemma Gardner

My husband, Dean and I each have a passport. We’ve had them for the last ten years and Dean told me they were about to expire soon so we needed to renew them. So, we made enquiries and found that we could get new passports through our local Post Office. Dean went there first, and then I went the next...
