Part Time or All In?
Psalm 139:23,24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart. Test me, and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” In all honesty, are you part time or all in for Jesus? Every once in a while, I read A.W. Tozer’s prayer…
-
Hardship or Privilege?
Romans 8:17 “Now if we are children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” Paul talks of our incredibly privileged position as children of God, and therefore co-heirs with Christ – but keep…
-
Now or Never?
2 Corinthians 6:1,2 “As God’s fellow-workers, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says, ‘In the time of my favour I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you’. I tell you, now is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation.” On 19th…
-
Engaged or Disengaged?
1 Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen people… that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” The needs are everywhere, and sometimes overwhelming. The call is to everyone, but sometimes I choose to disengage. After all, I can’t do everything, so why set myself…
-
Respond or Resist?
Isaiah 6:8 “Here I am. Send me!” One of my heroes is Robert Jermain Thomas. In 1866, he felt God’s call to penetrate Korea with the gospel following a massacre of about 8,000 local believers by the antagonistic regime. In human eyes it was foolish to respond. However, despite the nagging temptation to resist God’s…

-
Hear or Listen?
John 10:27 “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me.” We all hear similar sounds… but what do we listen to? A Masai community leader was invited to New York for a symposium. In Times Square, amidst all the blaring of horns and bustle of humanity, he grabbed his host…
-
Sulk or Salk?
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” The context of Paul’s ‘all things’ was his experiences of being in need and living in plenty, of being hungry and well fed, and things going badly or well. He had innumerable setbacks in his journey of discipleship, but ultimately he kept…
-
69 Elephants or 1 Ant?
Romans 8:31 “If God is for us, who can be against us?” The legendary Michael Jordan was no deity, but on the basketball court in one particular game he was as close to perfection as anyone has ever got. On 28th March 1990, he scored a staggering 69 points against the Cavaliers at the Richfield…
-
Incarnate or Abstract?
Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’” We know God more fully as Emmanuel – God with us – because he became incarnate as Jesus, ‘God with flesh on’. He calls us both to…
