As a means of worship music literally takes centre stage, but I believe there are many ways to worship God other than through music.

It is an interesting feature of Apocalyptic Scripture that Satan's sovereign power achieves Perfect Completion through Central Control, but not Quantum Fulfillment through Concentrated Force, which is achieved by the Beast from the Sea in alliance with him. Ideally comments should focus on this...

The order changes except for Wisdom and Honour. Riches becomes Thanksgiving. The verse numbers are identical. Enjoy.

Frenemy - Wikipedia I like this quote. Sigmund Freud said of himself that "an intimate friend and a hated enemy have always been indispensable to my emotional life…not infrequently…friend and enemy have coincided in the same person".[9] With 67 years on the clock I can say I've had my fair...

Abyss Duty: Instructions to Key Holder: Once 5th Trumpet has sounded give Abyss Key to designated fallen angel. Stand by until Abyss Key has been used by fallen angel and then reclaim it before resuming assigned station with Abyss status as "Open". (Rev 9:1) Then the fifth angel sounded: And...

Did you really think I was starting a thread about this?

We knew it would happen. It's Day 6 at Alert Level 4 in our country since an outbreak of the Covid 19 Delta Variant was picked up last Tuesday 17th August 2021. A traveller from Sydney Australia was allowed into NZ earlier this month but somehow during airport transfer and quarantine a 52 year...

Rom 6:16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Jos 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether...

Jesus prayed for those in the world to believe in Him Joh 17:18-21 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. (19) And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. (20) "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who...

As we all know, there are many different perspectives and practices when it comes to the assembling of the saints together. Paul had to address some of the issues of his day, and warned of wolves amongst the flock. I find myself reflecting on nearly 67 years of association and fellowship with...

2Th 2:3-4 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, (4) who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of...

Dear Reader, here are some points to note about Divine Vengeance: This world is fallen, cursed, and marked for destruction. Only those God chooses to be merciful to can escape His Vengeance. God is always righteous in His Judgment, whether to mercy or to punishment. The punishment of those...

An Offering From My Notes: Satan is active on this planet. His work in its inhabitants is woven into history, en masse and in each individual. Sin is still the way of the world. Satan is still the prince of the power of the air. Satan is still at work in the children of disobedience. Eph...

I collect interesting words. I recently posted the word cathexis on another thread. It means the concentration of emotional energy on an object, person, idea, or goal. I sometimes meet people who are quite intense and some who are even manic. Many movies have plots that are developed around...

Mat 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. My experience and awareness of evil might be different from others, but all of us in the Mutual Faith Community of Christ the Redeemer have one thing in...

In the past I was a logistics co-ordinator responsible for putting the Order of Service together and leading the Sunday morning meetings of a congregation I was part of for quite a few years. I also trained interns to do this, but I was always aware that it was an arbitrary call that depended on...

If, as one school of thought has it, God has sovereignly predetermined who will come to faith in Him by hearing His Word, are those whom He hasn't chosen to come to faith by hearing His Word, going to get a fair trial on Judgment Day? Surely it is not fair for God to condemn sinners just on...

So many people live their lives not aware of the amazing love God has for everyone. In my case I remember from early childhood being told that God loved me and everyone else. I have heard or seen the phrase "Jesus Loves You" millions of times, but it is patently obvious to me now that Satan...

It was 9pm and my wife and I were settled in our armchairs watching a TV series when we heard a loud knocking on our door. It was a young man of 27 years who lived down the road. I had been sharing Scriptural truth with him on occasions as he passed by, and now, while the flesh was saying "How...

Satan is depicted as reptilian. Isa 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent...
