Hi there, So I work as a cleaner at the moment, and I have been really grieving over how much we - as a society - throw away. Junk is always there, it seems. But TV shows like American Pickers reveal that in the past, things were built to last! I don't want to be unfaithful in what is another...

Hi there! So you will be familiar with the verse in Revelation about being hot or cold? The point is that we are supposed to do something about our faith, to distinguish it from the so-called 'faith' that is in the world. In the world, people are happy to be lukewarm - Jesus calls us to...

Hi there, Just a little bread, for you: Jesus said "the end will not come immediately" (paraphrase Matthew 24:6), but actually, His Word applies even at the end. Even at the end, the end will not come immediately. People alive at the end, will no more be able to bring things to an end, than...

Hi there! So my Dad got diabetes and it has always sort of bothered me, that I have started out life with the same sweet-tooth and eating habits as him. For a long time, I didn't know what to do about it and then I started to realise it was a spiritual battle. I took steps to make resisting...

Hi there! So, a very difficult lesson for me to learn, was that "timing" is very important to the Lord. I think sometimes people assume the earlier they learn about themselves, the more power they will have - but this isn't true. There are some things you can't learn, until you have been in a...

Hi there, So this prediction is interesting, because it does not specify what the activity will be, just that there will be a lot of it. I think the idea is that even if there is no tribulation, at this time, the internet having been commonplace for half a century will drive the curiosity of...

Hi there, So I will just be blunt, I know someone who had a great idea and tried to share it with other believers, and the other believers didn't understand. Maybe the idea wasn't that great? Or maybe the Devil deceived the other believers? In any case, what this believer felt was rejection...

Hi there, Just a quick thought: there is the "White Throne" judgment, where Christ judges the works of the believers; but there also a "New" Throne judgement, where we are judged purely by other believers. The point of the "New" Throne judgment, is to inspire us to validate each other and...

Hi there, So just real quick, I do not want to spend a whole lot of time. I asked God, I said "You are a God of great signs - how will I know that I have fulfilled Your calling of me to be a believer?" He said "I will give you the sign of Ezekiel". Remember that Jesus said "the only sign you...

Hi there, So this is not meant to be divisive, but is based entirely on an extrapolation of scripture: "when you did it to the least of these, you did it to me" (verse from memory, the Gospels). This verse is saying that when Christ has ruled, He will establish that He has done it in power -...

Hi there! Let's face it, adults are on their way out! If it wasn't for children, we would get nothing done. But I digress, what I want to talk about here is the value of the experience of a baby. There is some confusion about the significance of a baby and like self-righteous people...

Hi there! I like to think of Paul's faith in the Letters to the Churches, as reflective of the growing faith the Churches have in the Lord. It is not that we come to faith and hold fast to the Lord, and that is all; rather, we come to faith and a bond is formed between His faith and ours. This...

Hi there, So I've been thinking about my relationship to the Holy Spirit, for some time and I have sort of had a revelation. The revelation is that God has given me a gift, based on strengths he has developed me. Those strengths are that I "resonate" (like empathy but more general) and have...

Hi there, So just a simple progression: Jesus destroyed the "sin", but the Holy Spirit destroys the "guilt". In other words, Jesus makes our spirit free, but the Holy Spirit makes our spirit strong. We may not be ready to be obedient to God, but the Holy Spirit ensures that our strength is...

Hi there, So this is just to establish that the "resurrection" is a process. You do not just "snap your fingers" and you are resurrected. Depending on how God has made you, different parts of your body will reach a state where they are alive again, in ways that vary depending on God. The point...

Hi there, I suppose you can imagine many prizes, at the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation). The Lord sort of opened up my mind, to what they would be. There would be a prize "for the best interpretation of scripture", "most lives lead to the Lord", "most people preached to", "most...

Hi there, So I took a very little interpretation of Revelation 13:12 and I came to the conclusion, that since I am on Earth and at war with the sin in my members (as Paul says in the letters), I am at the very least going to be tempted to worship the beast. Now, I thought about it and thought...

Hi there! So this is a very simple thing, that has helped me relate to God a lot. God does not create for us, circumstances that never change, nor does He force us to live under certain conditions but not others. Now, you might think "God has a path set for me, once He has told me to walk down...

Hi there! So every nation is different and those nations that serve (read: are slave to) other nations, must work all the harder to keep their perspective on God. In Australia, I think that means being familiar with the Lord's presence and His Glory before God. The Lord does not boast before...

Hi there, So who wants a pity story, right? The thing is, I am being betrayed on all sides, by bad choices, bad interpretation, bed expectation. I have schizophrenia, which in and of itself is neither good or bad, but interpretation makes it change. The bad choice, is for my physician to say...
