Kick up the backside I read this blog post from Mark Betterson yesterday. Now this post is everything that I needed, to get a wake up call, in term of my quite time with God. For a long time I would get up at 4am in the morning to do Bible study and simply to have time during the day, where the house would be quiet and I could...

Equals 1 Peter 3:7 The same goes for you husbands: Be good husbands to your wives. Honor them, delight in them. As women they lack some of your advantages. But in the new life of God’s grace, you’re equals. Treat your wives, then, as equals so your prayers don’t run aground. Ok, so today I am only...

Priestly work 1 Peter 2:9-10 (The Message) But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to...

How do you fill the void? We all know the feeling: You try to sort out your life and make things better, but the nagging feeling that something is wrong just won’t go away. You work harder, but the success that you achieve is not enough, so you work even harder. You try to sort out your marriage, but you just can’t seem...

Genuine Proved Faith 1 Peter 1:3-7 (The Message) What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping...

He is about to break into the open with his rule, so proclaim the Message with intensity; keep on your watch....

What to do… Romans 12:1-2 (The Message) So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t...

Authority 1 Peter 2:12-14 (NIV) Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or...

How to live Micah 6:8 (The Message) But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don’t take yourself too seriously— take God seriously. This...

Behold God Mark 1:35 “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” During our church service last night, Brett Solomon said something which rang very loudly in my heart. We as Christians have become so adept at praying,...
