It is a fact that I am sure that none of us today would try to deny that everybody is looking for a life of freedom and pleasure. Everyone is looking to get the best out of what life has given to them, and to find satisfaction from what to many is a meagre existence from day to day. Well! I am here to tell you that in the words of the Lord Jesus Christ that I have read earlier on from “John 5:24,” that we discover the answer to that need.

Are We All The Children of God?
A short time ago I was tuning into a Christmas Service and was blessed by the actual service but heard the statement “We are All the Children of God,” and it was one of those moments when the “hairs on the back of one’s neck stand up” because it was so clearly not what the Bible teaches.
The statement would have been fine had it been unpacked a little to explain what was meant by the statement but unfortunately it was just left there “hanging in the air” as if it was truth.
We may ask “What’s the problem with this remark?” Well! it’s a very important problem because it leaves folks with a misunderstanding of the route to salvation and a false premise upon which to stake their eternal destiny.

The Challenge of Sound Doctrine
The anti-intellectual, anti-authority society, that we all live in and have grown up in especially when it comes to religious matters is one for the most part built upon an existential experience driven journey. We love the “warm fuzzy, feel good” meetings and teaching and why? Because they feed the “Selfie, Facebook and especially Narcissistic” attitudes and Self-centred Mentality. Testimonies are “Good and Essential” but will never replace “Teaching” that comes out of the realities of our walk with God.
Are We Preachers & Leaders Fully Persuaded
I personally believe that there is a profound and awesome responsibility that falls upon the shoulders of anyone who is privileged enough to be a preacher of the gospel. It is true, that all children of God are preachers in that we are called one and all to be proclaimers of the gospel and to take whatever opportunity presents itself toshare the good news – “1 Peter 3:15”. However, there are those who are called in addition to the standard calling to be public proclaimers – preachers in a corporate function.

An expression I saw recently caused me to ruminate for a while whilst waiting for friends with whom I was having lunch. It’s an expression thats especially probing in its implications.

Peters Alter Ego
The words “little faith” is one word in the original Greek. Littlefaith – (Ὀλιγόπιστε)-(Oligopiste). It’s almost like a nickname. There is tenderness expressed in the words of Jesus. There is understanding in the words of Jesus. There is compassion in the words of Jesus
Yes Sir, I Can Boogie
We sing of – Forgiveness, Adoption, Redemption – and we sing in anticipation of the glorious day when we shall see – face to face – our glorious Saviour in His return.
Our God of Mercy and Grace
Sight is God’s gift, seeing is the consequence of our using His gift. So, faith is God’s gift – “Ephesians 2:8-9” – believing is the consequence of our using His gift.
