Families Under Fire

Families face an attack from many quarters - often stretched to the max. Marriage is re-defined and defiled. Timeless truths are eroded. Vile affections are applauded. The next generation are raised as godless heathen. Churches are falling for the lies. The very fabric of society is being torn and shredded - the marriage covenant. A call to fight for your family. To stand and say my family will serve the Lord. A plea to return to godly order, to God's plan for the home, under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

What are we here for?

A visioning exercise.  We have reached a fork in the road.  A question for God's church: What are we here for, and where to from here?  Some of the things are that we are here to know God, to follow hard after God, to follow His leading.  We are here for harvest, for conquest.  The Lord is looking for a people who will stand in gap, be zealous of good works, and grow in grace.  And all for the glory of God!

Security

The Security of the Believer is a great assurance.  We have passed from Death unto Life!  Salvation is a present possession - it means Eternal Life.  Our confidence can rest in the work that saves us - His Finished Work at the cross.  Is your name written down?  If you are saved, He holds you and you are safe.  You can rest secure in His Promises.

He healeth the broken in heart

God's ever tender compassion and comforting presence.  He sees the helpless and hurting and beckons to them still.  He will enter into your pain with His heartfelt care.  Will you call upon Him as He is passing by?

7 Churches

Fellowship

What is church? A Sanctuary, a Fellowship - as God designed it - means a privilege, a partnership, protection, and a joint participation. If you neglect to fellowship, you neglect your soul!

Fruitfulness

How can we live an effective and fruitful life? What will our fruit be? He is the true vine. We are the branches. The Lord Jesus says to you, Abide in Me.

Take Heed

It's a recurring theme - take heed. Take heed, we are told, to how we build. The reckoning time is coming - the Judgment Seat of Christ. What will your life's work be? Watch out. Take heed to your Bible. Take heed to yourself and your doctrine.

The Remnant

The doctrine of the Remnant. A recurring biblical theme is God's faithful remnant people who hold fast to God's genuine message. This small band stays sure and true through the pages of scripture and is seen in the record of history, in the persecuted church. Chances are if you're in the minority you're in good company! How will we recognise the remnant and be sure we're a part of it?

The Sleeping Church

A wake up call.  It is high time to awake out of sleep.  The sleeping church needs to be stirred from its slumber!  Many saints are like a sleeping man, spiritually they are become dull, without sensitivity and consciousness to spiritual truth and life.  They are like Samson, become carnal and careless.  God rebukes the slothful, yet commends the diligent.  A call to awaken the church from its inaction, to new fervour.  To watch and be sober.  To be clothed with the armour of Light.  Wake up Australia!

Purity of the Church

God's design is for His church to be built after His Pattern.  The strength of the church is its purity in doctrine and practice.   It's amazing how God uses fallible people to be His living stones to build His church. I love the church!  Thank God, He uses the imperfect to be His own special people, the called out.

Our Sufficiency

Our sufficiency is of God. The power of His divine enablement. The power from on high. Perhaps you feel inadequate - like Moses, Joshua, Ehud, Jeremiah, Gideon. We can find that He is enough. His great grace is sufficient. Not unto us, not unto us, but unto Thy Name give GLORY!

Nehemiah

Nehemiah means 'Yahweh Comforts'. A builder and a battler. A man with heart, and compassion. A man of prayer. A man of faith. A man of action. Will you go through, no matter the opposition? Will you face off to the Sanballats, Tobiahs, and Geshems? It's time for mobilisation, for persistence. Keep up the fight. We need noble leadership in these days. Humility and the fear of God. Dependence upon God. The Wall restored. The Word restored. And the Worship restored.

Esther

Esther - woman of faith and courage. She trusted in God's care in the midst of great crisis and the nation was saved. A day marked for destruction was turned into a day of victory and deliverance. God gives opportunity. Will we seize it? Your life can make a difference. The glory of God was revealed. Perhaps you're here "for such a time as this"? God still uses ordinary men and women. Will you be an Esther? A Mordecai? Be available to do God's will.

Never Quit

When despair threatens, and it seems like all is lost. The Lord Jesus beckons us to find Life abundant in Him. A testimony of God's grace and saving power. A life turned around to find hope and sure peace.

Set Thine House in Order

Hezekiah was facing death. God has set an appointment for us with death. Are you prepared? Is your life in order? Order is God's design for His creation, His church, the home, and the godly life.

Right thing, wrong way

A flashy new cart for the ark. Like the new fad gurus of churchdom today it was not God's will. Better rather to follow the scriptures and honour the Lord, than to provoke His wrath. A timely word for the church today.

Strengthen the things which remain

God has a message for a dead church. The church at Sardis was well marketed, but lacked the substance. Churches are in decline. The Great Physician checks the pulse and the vital signs look dismal. A plea for a revival of holiness and spiritual life. As rain on the dry ground, God's Spirit is our source for yielding growth, fruit and genuine power.
