THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE

Luke 21:5-6 Some of his disciples began talking about the majestic stonework of the Temple and the memorial decorations on the walls. But Jesus said, Do you see these stones? The time is coming when not one of them will be left in place. They will all be knocked down." The days are coming when... Continue Reading →

ARE YOU INFLUENCING OR BEING INFLUENCED?

Luke 10:5 But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ It is interesting that unlike when it was time to celebrate the Passover where Jesus sent his disciples to a specific room in a particular house, today he sends them out and charges them to go into "whatever house'. However, their first... Continue Reading →

BE READY TO CHANGE APPROACH

Look at the following statement:"Now, therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways" (Haggai 1:5). Other versions render the same words as "Think carefully about what you are doing", and this seems like a fairly reasonable request. However, it takes on a much bigger place of importance when we realise the circumstances within... Continue Reading →

THE LOG IN YOUR EYE

Reference text: Luke 6:39-42 Luke 6:41 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? In our eyes, we are perhaps perfect, aren't we? No blemish, no spot, and without mincing words, we are often confident about this. However, Jesus... Continue Reading →

DARING TO BE DIFFERENT

However, he also gives a charge which is the focus of discussion today:  Therefore let us not sleep,as... Continue Reading →

UPDATED STRATEGIES

Even though today's Gospel tells the details of a destruction, there was another message on strategy that stood out to me. "Luke 21:21 Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, those inside the city must leave it, and those in the countryside must not go into it" Three groups of people were given...

STUCK ON REPLAY

Reference text: Job 1:6-22 You may not have paid attention to this, but have you wondered why in all of the major misfortunes that befell job in the obening chapter of the book, there was always someone who lived to tell the tale? Their account of events was like a rehearsed song each time: destruction... Continue Reading →

COMFORT DOESN’T WORK IN BATTLE

Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Jesus' instruction to the disciples was to give them a heads up that they were in a war. I have not sent you into comfort, I have sent you into a... Continue Reading →

THE SAME POWER

DAY 75 John 11:47, 48 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles. If we let him go on thus, every one will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our holy place[a] and our nation.” We see... Continue Reading →
