This article was originally written in 2015. After seeing conversations online between Christians, I see that it is time to republish the piece. The lack of discernment within the body of Christ is alarming. “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have […]
Remember…remember
We are losing our minds to the world’s way of thinking. Even Christians are forgetting that God gave us the gift of memory by which to store His precious Word.
Electronic devices are good in their place, but they can never give us life or accompany us to the grave.
When we are dying, we cannot hold a phone in our hands. If the only data we have is stored in our devices, our spirit and soul will have nothing to hold to.
As God’s people, we must commit to memory the truths of His Word. This is the only means for living and dying in peace with Him.

Amen

Fewer doctrines of the Christian faith are more comforting than the sovereignty of God. It humbles you in good seasons, provides hope in hard seasons, and gives joy in all seasons. The doctrine of God’s sovereignty is a constant nourishment for the soul.
But how do we DEFINE sovereignty?
A.W. Pink defines it this way: “The sovereignty of God may be defined as the exercise of his supremacy. Being infinitely elevated above the highest creature, He is the Most High, Lord of heaven and earth. Subject to none, influenced by none, absolutely independent; God does as He pleases, only as He pleases.”
This is true. But we must not be mere academics only. We have to apply this truth not just to our minds, but also to our hearts. If we do the former without the latter, we…

When the well’s dry, we know the worth of water.
Benjamin Franklin
(the original well used by Jacob, the famous Samaritan Well, currently located in the West Bank)
Every now and then, when it is most needed, God reminds us, well let’s make that He reminds me,
He is indeed still there and still in charge.
I don’t know about you but I have just felt so beat down as of late.

Two thoughts to get you thinking.
I am like the sick sheep that strays from the rest of the flock. Unless
the Good Shepherd takes me on His shoulders and carries me back to His fold,
my steps will falter, and in the very effort of rising, my feet will give way.
St. Jerome
(sheep farm, Killarny Ireland / Julie Cook / 2015)
Firstly—- I read the following July 4th post written by our freind and
most knowledgeable Christian sister IB.
As I read it, I felt warm tears falling down my cheeks.
I too have most recently deeply felt her words.
A sense of pleading that our Chruch leadership does what they are entrusted to do…
that being to lead their flocks—come hell or high water.
Not cower in the corner of current ideologies…
A day later, I read a post by our dear friend and former Anglican Bishop, Gavin Ashenden..
A post that mirrored…
