Brief Word #111 MAY 2021
Wow! When we read the Bible we get a measure of insight. When we meditate we get a greater level of illumination. And when we study it, we receive even more revelation.
Brief Word #110 APRIL 2021
When we come to Christ, He abides in us. We are transformed. We become a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17). We take on the character and the culture of a new Kingdom, the Kingdom of God. There is a sense that we don’t fit. We don’t fit in here, we can’t connect with the world, we just can’t become one-of-them.
Brief Word #109 MARCH 2021
I believe every human being is a creation of Almighty God, and as such has a unique purpose, destiny, assignment, or vocation. To know God as Saviour and Lord is well on the way to discovering that revelation. Sadly some do not make that discovery even in later life. In fact I am somewhat concerned at just how many have not found that sense of destiny and purpose.
Brief Word #108 FEBRUARY 2021
There’s nothing quite like finding your fit. Finding, being in, and knowing we are doing what we’re meant to do, and we are where God wants us to be. This is a huge subject, but an exciting one.
Brief Word #107 JANUARY 2021
Jesus never asks us to do anything He has not done, go anywhere He has not gone, including death. That indeed is the characteristic of a leader who people will follow. But first comes the cross. No cross, no crown.
Brief Word #106 DECEMBER 2020
The year 2020 will go down in many of our books as humongous horribelous! A bad memory. Forgettable. I’m sure we found ourselves doing things we didn’t plan to, functioning in roles we didn’t ask for, and having to come up with answers we don’t have, to questions we’ve never thought of.
Brief Word #105 NOVEMBER 2020
At the mountain of meeting there is revelation, insight, understanding, and vision. And we all know a God-idea is far better than a good-idea. Sometimes there’s just no other place to be to hear from God. There are many physical places where we can hear God speak to us, but there are times when we just need to get to a mountain, and be with God.
Brief Word #104 OCTOBER 2020
The Disciples Peter, James and John were led by Jesus up a high mountain by themselves, where He was transfigured before them. Sometimes that’s exactly what we need to do. To get away, by ourselves but somewhere away from people and be with Jesus. No distractions. No technology. Just us and Jesus. Maybe a routine reset would be good to do.
