Continue In The Faith

Colossians 1:23

Paul had a real heart to encourage us to ‘continue in the faith’. It is understandable because Paul, just one among so many men, suffered persecution for his faith and yet persevered and persisted. The lesson for us is that we also may have that degree of commitment that we too may persist and ‘continue in the faith’

'Arise, Let Us Go From Here'

John 14:25-31

From John 14 to the end of John 17, the words we read are exclusively John quoting Jesus in a long farewell speech to His disciples giving counsel and guidance, but also reassurance for the times ahead, but most of all strengthening their faith. This is the detail of ‘The Last Supper’. Jesus concludes with the words “Arise, let us go from here.” Where was Jesus going?

‘But You Will See Me’

John 14:19-24

I recall being told as a student, that when studying a text, an image, a presentation, to ask yourself questions to get to the heart of what is before you. Do not accept your own preconceptions, but cultivate an enquiring mind. Do not be afraid to ask ‘a stupid question’.

 'I Will Come To You'

 John 14:15-18

Jesus promised that He would send a helper, a ‘comforter’, the Holy Spirit of Truth, who would abide with us ... and will be in us!
‘Abide’ is an amazing word with an amazing number of synonyms*. It describes a state of being with The Lord which none of these other words begin to express adequately. It is inclusive and intimate, and transcends time and place. It is an unconditionally unlimited way to live.

Ask In His Name

John 14:12-14

One of the first lessons I learned when baptised in The Holy Spirit was that the names of people in Scripture describes the nature of that person. ‘The name is the nature’. When studying the rebuilding of the gates of Jerusalem to get an idea of the spiritual picture being portrayed, I discovered that translating the names into English gave a key to understanding.

A New Year Is Dawning

David Wilkerson

This is the 401st post on the website and the first of 2022. New Year is always an appropriate time to look back at the old year, either with nostalgia or regret, or maybe a mixture of both; but also — and more importantly — to look forward to the New; our hearts filled with hope.

The Story Of
The Donkey

Veronica Whitty

An Entertainment for Christmas and to mark our 400th post.
I saw this article in the October 2021 edition of 'The Oldie’ magazine — a publication of which I have grown rather fond. This story, reveals a rather unsuspected delightful side to Mother Teresa.
"Occasionally, I would drive Mother Teresa when she came to London..."

Called A
Nazarene

THE CHRISTMAS STORY IN MATTHEW'S GOSPEL - 5
Matthew 2:19-23

Now we have the fourth and fifth of Joseph’s ‘dreams’, where the Angel of The Lord appeared to him, with each one, directly or indirectly related to Old Testament prophecy. The fifth dream of six mentioned in Matthew (the sixth was to Pontius Pilate) directs the Holy Family to Nazareth in Galilee.

Lamentation Weeping And Great Mourning

THE CHRISTMAS STORY IN MATTHEW'S GOSPEL - 4
Matthew 2:16-18

Whether this story was historically true or not, it seems to relate to what we know of the later character of Herod, who went from being known as Herod the Great to Herod the Wicked, even having some of his own children murdered. It is therefore completely believable that Herod would want to have the infant Jesus killed, seeing Him as a threat to his power.
