This is a lengthy teaching psalm. We need what it teaches. The fundamental truths are still the same. What the world really needs is not more computer literacy, or a better understanding of nuclear physics, but fundamental historical truths that have been there right along. Due to the length of the psalm, and the clarity and importance of its teaching,
C.S. Lewis, once he came to faith in Christ, realised that as an atheist he had completely misunderstood the Christian idea of faith. As an atheist, he thought that faith meant choosing to believe something for which one had no evidence – which is a stupid thing to do. Once he realised that Christian faith is clinging to what one
We have been praying fervently for guidance. The guidance has begun to come in. It should be finalised very soon. On Friday, 30 May, we received word that the government of Zambia has approved our application to reside in Zambia. The Eswatini government has had our application for eight months and has not given a response. The Zambian government gave
There are several theories about the origin of this psalm. The most popular may be that it is related to the invasion of Judah by Sennacherib (recorded in 2 Kings 18-19). It does seem that some situation like that one was in mind. Part of the psalm (6) also reminds us of the Song of Moses and Miriam (Ex 15:
Jude describes himself as “a slave of Jesus Christ and brother of Jacob (James)” (1). Jude was the half-brother of Jesus and brother of James (Jacob) who also identifies himself as “a slave of God and the Lord Jesus Christ,” James 1:1). Though Jude and his other brothers grew up with their older brother Jesus in Nazareth, they did not
Text: Vs. 3 “Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all time handed down to the saints…” Jude calls us to an all out effort, to stand up for a body of truth
Anyone even remotely aware of social media religious content has heard of the book of Enoch. It seems anyone who wants to claim knowledge of ancient mystical secrets unknown to the modern world cites the book of Enoch. If they are questioned about the legitimacy of this book, they are quick to point out that the New Testament quotes it,
The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is one of the terrifying narratives in the Bible. These two cities were destroyed by God because of sexual immorality, and it seems in the Genesis account, that this was the only reason that God had. But other scriptures indicate there were at least five sins associated with these cities. We start with uncle
“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves” (2 Corinthians 13:5). Paul urges the Corinthians to examine themselves to see whether they really are living according to the teachings and practices of the Christian faith. What is meant by “the faith” and what does it mean to be “in” the faith? Also, how can we test
All of us can vividly remember the day we became a Christian. It was the best day ever! To confidently face God at the Judgment knowing that all our sins have been forgiven and forgotten by Him is to know joy and peace to the fullest. As a new Christian you want others to know of your joy and how
Just as the devil tampered with God’s word in the Garden of Eden and caused man to sin, he continues to this day to make disciples. Borrowing his deceptive tactics, they now preach all kinds of heresies and prevent many from obeying God’s word. In 2 Peter 2:1 Peter warns, “…There were also false prophets among the people, just as
