Over the next few days, I will be sharing some of the most read posts of this year.
This post, from way back in February, discuss is the idea of eternal punishment and how we can avoid it! I know that may not seem like the most uplifting of themes… But there is nothing more important!
What are your thoughts on this subject? Do leave me a comment or question.
Thanks for reading!
For some reason, this post from harvest time has attracted a lot of views during Advent…!
No idea why, praise the Lord anyway! If you fancy a Harvey’s message during this Christmas season, then I hope you enjoy it!
This is the third and final post on Psalm 92. If you missed them, you can read the first one here – Praise in the morning, praise in the evening- and the second one here – You Thrill Me. We left off last time discussing that although evil may flourish for a time, it will…

Part of my Bible reading this morning was in Psalm 92. It is a wonderful psalm of praise and thanksgiving, and I think we need a good dose of that right now. In fact, we always do, but times of struggle seem to require an extra boost of worship. The psalm is one for the…

Might Not Sin
God has been speaking to me lately about the very issues this post raises. And I share it for your encouragement today.
I find myself constantly encouraged but regularly challenged by the writings on Bruces blog. do take some time to check out the other posts and be blessed yourselves.
The Scriptures covered in this post are from John 15:9-14 NASB. “Just as the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you; remain in My love. If you …

Do you want to sin against God? The obvious answer is no! No one who calls themselves a follower of Jesus Christ does. Yet, what steps do we take to avoid the trap of sin in our lives? If we do nothing, then we will find ourselves drifting into sin’s clutches. To avoid sin, we must be deliberate and decisive.
There are many reasons to read the Bible, and here is a compelling one from Psalm 119.
I have hidden your word in my heart
Psalm 119:11 (NIV)
that I might not sin against you.
My post today may be short, simple and straight to the point. If you want to avoid sin, then you must be dedicated to God’s Word.
The one who spends their time storing God’s Word in their heart is the one who will have the best chance of defeating temptation and not falling into sin.
In God’s Word we learn what is and is not sin, and how we – as His people – should conduct our lives. We also gain spiritual nourishment so that we might be strong in our faith. As we read and study the Bible, our minds are renewed and the better we think, the better we will act.
You will never grow as a Christian if you do not take the time necessary to get to know God’s Word.
Hide it in your heart, and speak it out of your mouth. Memorise it, meditate on it, and marinate in it!
Sin is deadly. Do not be deceived, and do not falsely believe you can “get away” with it. Jesus defeated the temptation of the devil by quoting the Scriptures. When you are likewise tempted, you too can draw on the Scriptures you have stored in your heart.
Reading a few verses on a Sunday in church isn’t enough. Take time each and every day to consume the Bible. It takes effort, of course, but it is well worth it!
May God bless you richly as you engage with the Word today.
Responsibilities and how we relate to them. Let’s get it straight. Luke 17:7-10 7 “Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say…

THE KEY TO SUCCESS
A comment on my blog post yesterday got me thinking about whether we should read the Bible literally or not?
I wrote a post on this very subject last year looking at one of the Psalms. I hope you find it useful.

I literally could not say it any better than Bruce has in the below post. All fathers, give it a good read and do think about following Bruces blog
We fathers need a huge amount of grace. None of us are perfect, and off an hour mistakes outweigh the things we do right. praise God that our Father in heaven does not hold it against us. In fact, he gave his only son that every mistake we have ever made will be blotted out and forgotten.
My prayer is that we fathers learn to love is our heavenly father loves.
Bruce always ends his posts with the phrase worthy is the lamb! And I join him today. Worthy indeed is the Lamb of God!
A father is someone who is supposed to love you, protect you, provide for you and guide you and most importantly, be an example to their children, of…
A Father’s Day Blessing
I highly recommend this series from the Domain for Truth. it examines various supposed Bible contradictions, and gives clear answers to why they are not.
There are many posts in the series, so do go back and read some of the others as well.
I hope you enjoy reading!
For today’s post we will tackle the question the Skeptic Annotated Bible asked: When did the earth dry after the flood? Here are the answers which …
