In the last days leading up to his suffering and death, Jesus focused steadily on his heavenly origin and his glorious future. In our verse for today, he speaks again of his return at the end of time in power and glory! Though Christians have sometimes puzzled over what Jesus meant by “signs in the […]
Grace on Judgment Day
Matthew 25:31-46 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he […]
What Must Go During This Time Of Judgment
The promise of eternal life is combined with the warning of a day of judgment. In an age where people have rejected the possibility of ultimate truth and values, judgment isn’t popular. But it is a key part of the gospel message. It’s a theme that spans both the Old and New Testaments. Listen as […]
The Judgment Seat
The Bible says, when Jesus comes again you and I will find ourselves standing before the judgment seat of God to give an account of how we have lived (Romans 14:12). All of us deserve a “guilty” verdict, because, as Paul puts it, “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (Romans […]
God Forgives: All You Have to Do is Pray
Hello everyone, and welcome. Today, I want to share a message of hope and redemption written by my daughter, Sian, who is 13 years old. Despite her young age, she has a profound understanding of God’s love and forgiveness. I am proud to share her words with you, and I hope they touch your heart […]
Repentance, The Response To Grace
A worshiper at a Navy chapel commented, “My favourite part of the worship service is the ‘assurance of pardon’, then I know I’m good to go for the next week”. A weekly reminder of God’s grace inspires him to continue living for Christ! As Paul warns though, it is important that we do not take […]
God’s Forbearance Leads To our Repentance
Today’s Verse reveals how we and others come to repentance. It’s all because of God’s kindness. But too often we assume that the threat of judgment is what leads to repentance. “If only we can show people how bad they are, then they will be sorry”, we think. Or perhaps if we can show them the […]
Genuine Repentance
We all want to be more like Jesus. Therefore, we make resolutions asking Him to help us, and try to behave differently. Yet despite our best efforts to do things God’s way, we slide back into old habits. Frustrated, we may ask Him, “Why can’t I change?”. The reason is, overcoming sinful attitudes and behaviours starts […]
What Is Your Bathsheba?
“One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof, he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the […]
Men, We Must Do Better
Brothers, we must lay aside our differences and find a way to reconcile with one another. It’s time to stop letting people use religion as a tool to divide instead of unite. As Christian men, we must forgive a lot quicker those who have wronged us. Letting go of the idea of getting back or making someone […]
My Brother, God Knows…
My brother, I know you haven’t forgotten. The pain is too fresh for it to fade to the back of your memory. In fact, that same pain may be present as you read this. Life’s pressures just don’t seem to let up. Almost as if they alternate to ensure that on any given day you […]
The Gloves Are Off
‘The gloves are off’ suggest that enough is enough. It’s time to draw the line in the sand. I’m no longer fighting the devil in the physical. It’s all about allowing God to fight for me. Yes, the devil is on attack and he will not let up until you and your family are destroyed. As […]
Not only has God equipped you, but He is also working in you. He has already lined up everything you need to live a victorious life. You were created to excel! Greatness is inside of you. Don’t settle where you are. Have the attitude, “I am anointed. I can accomplish my dreams. I can overcome any […]
Psalm 45 has been called a ‘King’s Wedding Song’. It brims with royal pageantry and wedding imagery. The bridegroom here is a King of God’s people, preparing to marry the one he loves. This Psalm was probably used at many royal weddings in ancient Israel. Later in Israel’s history, this Psalm came to be seen […]
Breaking News Part 3: You Have an Anointing
Some years ago, without my knowledge, I was given a counterfeit 20 pound note. I didn’t realise it until the lady at the check-out eyed me suspiciously because it wasn’t the real thing. Thankfully, I wasn’t charged with a crime. But for a short time, I felt caught between the forces of truth and evil. […]
In the ancient world, anointing a person with oil had several meanings. It was used to symbolize that a person was chosen by God. Anointing a person with oil was a sign of God’s approval. People were anointed as an act of sanctification, to make one holy. Early Christians were encouraged to pray and anoint […]
