Drenching!

,
Rain can give us this but the Spirit of God can give us living water that comes from God's heart.  Trust that even though it has been the wettest February on record (I think I heard) if we had received the equivalent from the Holy Spirit I…

An Anchor

,
Every boat has an anchor but do our lives have this solid weight keeping us stable?  Sometimes a weight can be a hindrance but when it has a purpose then one can allow for it. God's word, the Bible, provides solidness for our lives. If we…

Being Quiet

,
Waiting, resting and quietly waiting for God may seem alien in our society but so necessary to be able to hear God and move with him. I have been challenged by Doctor Howard Morgan (from the States who is visiting the UK at present) to spend…

Purity

, ,
In God's vocabulary it is very high on his list of priorities for us humans but alas not so high on ours unless we get serious at living the Christian life (his enabling totally).  No man/woman can ever see the Lord without His covering on…

Peace in our Time

, ,

Righteousness Exalts A Nation

How God loves rightness even when we sinners are far from being righteous. However, the miracle is that Jesus Christ paid our price on the cross and when we come to him in humility and admit our faults, he washes us clean so that in his sight…

Beautiful New Year

,
Just as we take our Christmas decorations down and the evenings get a wee bit lighter (here in the UK) so God surprises us with the sheer beauty of his world.  Whether there are storms, winds and rain or glimpses of the sunshine, his rainbow…

New Beginnings

, , ,
God makes all things new - so we are told in the book of Revelation that looks ahead to a great future of splendour and beauty and peace and rest - but what about today? Every day is new and a creative gift from Father God. Every sky is…

Born to Die

, , ,
Jesus Christ was born on time and his mission to die for the whole world was spot on time, too. God is never too early or too late with what he does. It's obvious that after we are born we have to die sometime (unless Jesus comes back first…
