Truth, be told this Christmas
as with every morn.
Prophecy has come to pass,
the Messiah is born.
True, it was for centuries
God told time to wait,
till magi saw the Lord was pleased
by the sign He gave.
Wondrous revelation:
Immanuel from His courts
took good news to Bethlehem,
grew as lad and...
Trembled, shepherds at the shout *
of the angels near Zion’s Mount.
Filled with words of “Fear ye not”,
sandals rightly ran with awe!
Babe, too small to open the door, **
lay in a manger at the floor.
Better than dining is to adore, ^
thus the shepherds communed more.
Tremble, saints at Holy...
After reading Psalms 119:145-152
Promises ring through the night,
like owls, good-haunting the wise,
echoing through forests of days,
promises--what moonlight can’t shoo away.
Wicked schemes may feel so near,
yet far away are they from the clear
conscience that is succored by law
of the...
(Whether one is “Arminian”, “Calvinist”, or in-between in their theological bent, there is something to be, shall we say, “wildly joyful” about in knowing that God intimately thought about us and stretched his arms toward us even before “the beginning of time” (2 Timothy 1:8-10 NIV)...
The Apostle Paul carried the banner
theme of "faith, hope and love" everywhere
he went. We mostly recognise this as if
it were the refrain of the 1 Corinthians
"Love Chapter":
1 Corinthians 13:3
And now these three remain: faith,
hope and love. But the greatest of these
is love.
This trifecta...
A meditation, after considering Colossians 3:11-17
11 Here there is no Greek or Jew,
circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian,
Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all,
and is in all.
12 Therefore, as God's chosen people,
holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves
with compassion, kindness...
I recently heard a pastor assuage his congregation's
perceptions about the Old Testament, assuring attendees
that even if it (the OT) seems "weird", it forms part of the
canon of the inspired word of God. For my part, having
thoroughly read both testaments, I'm struck by how "weird" one...
Not in a corner, but on every corner,
from high to unlearned, the lofty to leper,
the halt and the lame, some proud: all ready
to earth's salt be, to this very day.
He is Lord, Jesus is Lord!
He opens the door, in dark lights a torch.
He makes sin, the grievous, become almost myth,
displaced as...
In the first chapter of 1st Corinthians, the Apostle Paul
expresses his concern that some of the believers were treating
fellowship with God as a matter of which minister of
the Gospel one is following:
12 What I mean is this: One of you says,
"I follow Paul"; another, "I follow
Apollos"...
1 Corinthians 15:40-41
40 There are also heavenly bodies and
there are earthly bodies; but the
splendor of the heavenly bodies is one
kind, and the splendor of the earthly
bodies is another.
41 The sun has one kind of splendor, the
moon another and the stars another;
and star differs from star...
2 Chronicles 20 explains how Jehoshaphat, King of Judah,
called the people his kingdom together to earnestly pray while
invaders from Moab and Ammon threatened them.
What followed was like an Early Church charismatic service:
(1) United as One
2 Chronicles 20:13
All the men of Judah, with...
It is a blessing to discover how the Bible is so divinely authored through human hands that the verses, as it were, “network within themselves”, producing a “The Bible explains the Bible” phenomenon.
When I find a passage that speaks strongly to me, I like to dig for other passages of the...
(Pondering the Apostle Paul’s teaching in “Romans” about election and predestination)
Based on God’s righteousness and His commandments, the nation of Israel became estranged from God, ushering in the age of the Gentiles, i.e., the Age of Grace. Since then, a remnant among the Gentiles is...
His hymns are ever in our hearts
because He loveth the first
to bring us to salvation,
into redemption-works.
The call of Christ at ev’ry door,
He, responding to our thirst,
caused many to form remnant choirs,
as healers to the hurt.
We form a temple not made with hands,
with art b’yond...
Heavenly Father, “Whom have I in Heaven but You?”* That was easily answered: You.
And Father, whom have You on earth but those who believe in, hope for and trust in You? This, also easily answered, by those who “have ears” to hear your call and respond in kind.
We have You, You have us...
When King David had Israel bring up the Ark of the Covenant, so that it could be placed in the
Tent of Meeting in Jerusalem, David passed the test of zeal for the Lord (2 Samuel 6:14-22). David had such uninhibited joy that his wife was not discerning enough to appreciate his devotion.
David...
(Don't get me wrong. There are a lot of good praise songs out there. Just that . . .)
We said we were sorry for the thing that we’ve made it,
but even that ballad has been sung like a sacrament.
How do we contend--in song not pretend?
Where are the reference points?
I’m running to your Word...
Abundance floods over deconstruction,
shame buckles, gives way to redemption.
The height of the arc of dissipation
of thought against God is its ruins.
Light of the Father reveals dark structures,
an underbelly built above ground.
The angel of light flickers, his glory ruptures
as Heaven’s...
(pondering Romans 5:15-19)
The blame on one man led to every sin and shame,
our sins, placed on the Just One, to our hope and claim.
The first Adam grieved the Holy Spirit, estranged;
second Adam, in gladdened Spirit, came.
Christ now offers right standing for all;
many, it’s prophesied, will...
(after reading Romans 5:1-5 NIV - Peace and Hope - Therefore, since we - Bible Gateway)
When we had no power
to stand over, tower
above sin and the sinister,
God’s compassion became sister,
hen for our mothering,
wings to stem tottering.
Once grown, we stand, offering
praise for His parenting...
