The Glory of God

A recurring theme in God's Word is His glory. He wants us to be changed for His glory, and form glory to glory. That He sets the agenda for our lives. We can be channels for His glory. Our prvilege and duty is to bring Him glory. The chielf end of man is to give Him glory. Be a wise steard. Be the church for His glory. Let that be your goal. Your driving force. He is the King of Glory and we want to truly honour Him. As an authentic church for His glory it is this that shapes our every decision and emphasis. Our primary objective is to bring Him Glory.

Humility

Humility shows in attitude and heart. It's about a dependence upon God. Keep humble. Avoid pride. Be a witness. God uses the lowly and invites us to His table. Find ways to serve, pray and witness. It takes humility. Be used of God. Let go of self will and bow the knee to the Master, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Excellence

Will you excel - or will you settle for second rate? The character quality of excellence. It means going beyond the norm, beyond the average. Will we aspire to be first rate? Daniel did. Instead of mediocrity let's aspire to be the best we can be. Don't settle for sloppy. Daniel had an excellence in his courage and convictions. He maintained his purity. Faith abounding has a purpose and a faithfulness. Aim for excellence!

Integrity

Integrity. People appreciate it. God commends it. It is the pathway of blessing. The opposite of integrity is hypocrisy. It's seen in the lives of Nehemiah, Daniel, and Joseph, three public servants with solid character and faith. Integrity does what is right. It's consistency and true character. Job was blameless in his evident integrity. Whatever you do, in things small and great, choose to live your life with integrity.

The Word of God

There's a famine in the land - because the Bible has been neglected. Where is the Biblical church, standing squarely on the uncompromising message? We stand for the Bible and its preservation - the incorruptible seed, the pure words. We stand on its authority, as totally true and trustworthy. It is inspired, God-breathed and God-blessed. God's Word is never failing. And we stand for the Gospel, the Message of the Saviour.

Let us keep watch

Brad exhorts on watchfulness. Let us watch and be sober. We need to be careful of false new age gospels and modern day humanistic psychology that are replacing the genuine preaching of the Bible. A call to avoid error and deception and instead be true to God's truth.

Try the Spirits

Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits… A call to discernment. Judgment is sorely needed. Why be a discerning Christian? Because of damnable heresies. We must wisely discriminate, between man's opinions and God's truth. The most unloving thing we can do is to be silent. Warning is called for. We must not trust in experience but in God's Word. There is a spirit of error and we need to test what is happening, to determine the truth. Discern God's will. Prove all things, hold fast that which is good. An encouragement to wise and godly decision making.

Harvest

God's plan is for harvest. A harvest of souls. In His love He draws and He drives. The harvest is plenteous, but the labourers are few. He is the Owner - the Master of the harvest. He calls us to the work. To send us. The harvest is ready. A call to service. Let us be stirred to action. Be His witnesses.

Repent

David's cry for forgiveness. Have mercy upon me, O God. Repentance is a recurring theme in the Word of God. It is a worldview shift. A transformation. A whole new mindset and attitude. Sin abounds and we need repentance. Hear from God. Let go of pride. And repent. Repentance means a change of life. A brokenness before God. Moody says: "Repentance is the tear in the eye of faith."

Love

Something was unique about this community. "See how these Christians love one another!" It was love. An identifying mark of the true people of God. God's boundless love brings healing and wholeness. He commands love. The church should be a tenderhearted community where God's love can be seen in action. Brotherly love. God's love does not excuse sin, yet His love provides the means for our rescue. We communicate God's love for sinful mankind. His love compels us to witness.
