Romans 11:36 “For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen!” There’s a beautiful worship song by Paul Oakley called ‘It’s all about you’. The words go on: “And all this is for you, for your glory and your fame…” In a lively worship service,…

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…

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…

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…

Isaiah 6:8 “Here I am. Send me!” One of my heroes is Robert Jermain Thomas.

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…

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…

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…
