True Religion

God has taken the initiative to save us through His Word, which results in a transformed life marked by a controlled tongue, a compassionate heart, and a clean life. This, James affirms, is authentic religion, pure and faultless. James 1:12-27 ESV 12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has…

Tower Builders or Tatty Buildings

People in society today are no different to the people we see in this passage, as they seek to make a name for themselves. As Christians, we need to ensure that as we seek to be doers of the word we do not try to make a name for ourselves. Genesis 11:1–9 ESV The Tower of Babel 11 Now the whole earth…

Hearers Only

If the Bible is to affect our lives, we must not merely listen to it but also receive and act upon it. If we think we can hear the Word and do nothing, we are self-deceived. It’s not enough to just listen to it; we must do what it says! Matthew 7:15-29  ESV A Tree…

Lost and Found

What do we do when we lose something precious? In the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin, the shepherd and woman put everything on hold until they find what is lost. Such is the beautiful picture of God’s seeking love for lost sinners. Luke 15:1-10 ESV The Parable of the Lost Sheep…

God’s Goodness

God in His omniscient sovereignty, is the author of every good and perfect gift. Although sin blinds the heart towards God’s glory, the light of God’s true Word delivers the good news of salvation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Psalm 145 ESV Great Is the Lord [a] A Song of Praise. Of David.…

Loved Forever

Jesus told a compelling story about a father with two sons. One son ran off to a distant country to lead a wild life, while the other stayed home and harboured bitterness and anger in his heart. This parable illustrates our desperate situation before receiving the undeserved love of our Heavenly Father. Luke 15:11-32 ESV…
