Mature believers are not made in their Bible study but in the pressures of life. But, if they’ve learned nothing in their Bible study, the pressures will probably overwhelm them.

A church more at pains to be relevant to the culture than in step with the Holy Spirit is never going to be useful to God.
Elijah confronted the culture aware that he “stood before God”. If we abandon that stance we lose all relevance.

God please deliver us from empty worship songs that say nothing.

Life is tough. We don’t need naff songs. We need to glory in our God & his salvation.

Why do some Christians insist on calling themselves “sinners” when the Bible repeatedly calls us “saints”? Yes, we sometimes sin, but in Christ we have a new identity! Let’s own it.

Beware the danger that the desire to be relevant & contextual doesn’t rob you of the raw edge of the gospel. The cross is offensive. Settle for it. The world’s opinion isn’t the final word.

Who were first to be called “Christians”? A church led by Barnabas (a Cypriot), Simeon & Lucius (2 black guys), Manaen (raised with a prince) & Saul ( former zealous Hebrew). Acts13:1. Christ has been uniting races for centuries.

Beware the habit of questioning other people’s motivation. Often it’s hard enough to be sure of your own motives. Suspicion is not a gift of the Spirit.

King Charles doesn’t know I exist. The Prime Minister is busy with many things, but the Bible insists that, if you’re his, God thinks about you, watches over you, plans in love for you & even makes things work out well for you.
Amazing eh? No wonder we love & worship him!

The disciples didn’t drift into a storm, Jesus sent them there. Jesus didn’t wander into the wilderness, the Holy Spirit led him there.
Don’t interpret your challenging circumstances as God’s indifference or carelessness. God orders events with purpose. He trains us for battle.

A tough year is coming to a close. For many it has been brutal. There’s certainly no guarantee that 2023 will be better.

Don’t pray because good Christians pray. Pray so that you can get to know God. Pray because you need him. Pray because he has made amazing promises to answer prayer.
Pray because it’s your lifeline to real life.

When PAUL PRAYS for churches he doesn’t pray so much for their numerical growth or evangelistic impact (like we do) but for INCREASING REVELATION by the Holy Spirit of all that is already theirs in Christ.
He knows we can be Christian but hardly realise what God has done for us.

Don’t simply submit to any “mood” you might find yourself in. Challenge it! Like the Psalmist, ask, “Why am I cast down..?” Resist & reject it. God is always to be thanked. His salvation always to be celebrated. Don’t just roll over. Fight the good fight.

You may disagree with your brother/sister but when differences result in contempt for your brother/sister you’ve crossed a line forbidden by God. God hates contempt & the superiority it displays.

Bible reading isn’t to be regarded as a Christian duty but a source of constant encouragement, nourishment, encounter & revelation. You meet God there. Your thinking is shaped.
So many voices in the world want to shape your thinking. Many are harmful & distorted. Let God speak.

Strange how being “born again” is part of evangelical jargon but we often fail to grasp its wonder.
A new birth, a new identity, becoming someone you’ve never been before. Much more than being just a forgiven sinner.

In overcoming stress relaxation is important but renewal is vital. What we sometimes treasure as relaxation provides no renewal at all. Stress can be replaced by lethargy.

Chatting to a former Hindu lady today I asked her what brought her to Christ.
Her face lit up & she said she heard of a God who loved her, returned home & told her husband, “I’ve found a God who loves me.”
Such an awesome & life transforming discovery!

God isn’t so much looking for the church to be filled with morally upright individuals.
He wants a people transformed into vulnerable & sacrificial lovers who put the needs of others first, willing to make costly choices, overwhelmed by Christ’s love for us.

If we dream up a God of our own imagination instead of letting the Bible inform us, no doubt we’ll come up with a sentimental figure, indulging our shortcomings or maybe a scary monster vindictive against us.
Let the Bible shed its light. Know the true God & worship him.

Have you noticed? The word “saint” has been stolen & reinterpreted to mean very special, mostly dead, individuals.
In the Bible it simply refers to believers, those in Christ & therefore made holy, called upon to live holy lives in & through Him.
Let’s take it back & own it!

We were never intended to “do Christianity” alone. Over 40 “one-another” verses demonstrate our mutual dependence. We all need others to pray for us, encourage us admonish us, build us up & so on. Isolated believers won’t prosper. “The were together”Acts2.

The best that the world can offer is “Be true to yourself”, but when your “self” is the problem that doesn’t help.
What you need is a new self, born afresh, filled with the Holy Spirit, inspired by fellowship with the living God & being constantly transformed by a renewed mind.

A song I sing almost daily.
The grace of God upon my life is not dependent upon me, on what I have done or deserved, but a gift of mercy from God which has been given to me because of his love.
It is unending, unfailing, unlimited, unmerited, the grace of God given to me.
