THE HAND OF GODExodus 1 and 2 “But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites and worked them ruthlessly.” Imagine that you reproduce prodigiously so much so your host country is in fear of your impact and tries to slow your population growth. …

Assuming that this is a continuation of Jesus’ explanation about the parable of the sower rather than a standalone passage, it would mean that the seed must be allowed to grow. The metaphor has changed from seed to light but that is consistent with biblical ideas. The result of the growth of the seed is …

THE GOOD SOILLuke 8 “Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others.

A GOOD SOLDIER OF CHRIST2 Timothy 2 “Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer.” Malachi told his fellow Jews what God felt about what they offered him: “When you bring injured, …

THE DARK VALLEYS2 Timothy 1 “I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy.” I wonder if you have had periods in your …

I think it is perfectly OK to have a worldview that God is involved in my life at all times and, good or bad, to know that he is with me. It just means I am practising trust rather than giving in to fear. Trusting him doesn’t mean I have to do nothing or avoid …

A LIFE WITH GODPsalm 123, 124, 125 “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.” It is very common for modern man to want the benefit but not pay the price and obviously when it comes to God, the price is life, and this is too …
