The Unseen War

There is a war going on. The battle lines are being drawn. It is an invisible battle, a cosmic conflict with a faceless enemy. We are to be soldiers trained and armed to fight. This is a call to rally the troops: "Prepare for war". Our committed enemy is the master of camouflage. He is waging a slick propaganda campaign. We need to know his battle plan. We are fighting for the souls of many he has taken captive. The battle affects our own families. It is a battle for hearts and minds. We need to know his tactics. The enemy is a gradualist. Just a little leaven. And before you know it...! Resist stedfast in the faith. Join the resistance! Enlist now! Ready yourself for active military service as spiritual soldiers!

Revive Thy Work, O Lord

Revival. A plea, a prayer: Lord, send revival. Revival means an awakening, a refreshing of spiritual life and fervour. A renewed sense of God. It is the life of God in His own people. We see our great lack, of power, of grace. The fire has gone out and needs to be restored. Australia needs revival. Revival is a passion for prayer, for souls. It is a revitalising of the fear of God, a refeshed zeal for the lost, and love of the Word, a new consecration. Repentance precedes revival. O Lord, revive Thy work.

God Hates False Religion

God truly hates worship that is compromised and corrupted. The Lord hated the feats days, the solemn assemblies, the noise of the songs and the melody of their musical instruments. God is looking for pure hearts, pure doctrine, pure worship. God rejects the worship of those who draw near to Him with their lips but their hearts are far from Him. The church needs to be intolerant of pretend worship and man-centred performance. Where there is a neglect of God's Word we should reject it. Seek the real, the true. Shun the worldly and lukewarm. A rebuke to the backslidden church. True worship means sacrifice and genuine devotion. Will we be one of the authentic worshippers? As living sacrifices. Stand in awe of Him.

The Exchanged Life

Christ is our source. The grace life means union with Christ, living by His Spirit, growing in Christlikeness. He is the source, the power, the rghteousness we need. We find our rest in Him, our ceasing from our own striving. The great exchange means our rags for His riches, our sin for His saving work. A transaction is made that is eternal.

The Separated Life

God calls His own to the separated life. Separation is a major doctrine of the Bible. It is a reflection of God's holy character. It is a delighting in God's Word. The separated life means an obedience to God's commands, as we walk in fellowship with our Lord and not with the world. It is beautiful and pleasing to God. Our great privilege is to be saints who walk worthy. To separate means to set a boundary. Take a stand for your convictions, for God's will. Let us not lower the standard, but rather raise it. The question ought to be, Is it Biblical? And take that path, the Highway of Holiness. A plea for an unyielding faith in the Book. Let us be men like the radical Hezekiah, and Josiah, holding fast the faithful Word.

Accountability

Accountability means we accept responsibility for our actions. We are answerable. The genuine church helps us be accountable - to one another, and to God. Accountability touches on integrity of relationships, of speech, of finances, of thoughts. Accountability holds authority with due regard. It is wise. It protects us. Accountability provides an environment of mutual care and stewardship. It is a fundamental part of discipleship.

Judgment

Judgment must begin at the house of God. God is a righteous judge. He is intolerant. He judges the deadness and lukewarmness of the worldly church. It's time for judgment. New age doctrines and a neglect of God's truth - the Plumbline - is all too evident. The battle for truth calls us to stand and preach the truth, while we still have time. Judgment is coming. The nominal Christians will be swept away by the storm that is apporaching. Don't settle for substandard Christianity. We need revival. It's time to wake up. The Refiner's fire will burn.

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.
