What is the heart of the Gospel?

What is the heart of the Gospel?

  I just read an article that highlighted five signs of ‘Progressive Christianity’. I’d never heard that term before. The article was interesting and informative and when it exampled sentences or expressions that might come out of this movement, I realised I have actually heard of it before but didn’t know there was a name for it. However, what I found interesting was that the article stated how ‘Progressive Christianity’ had moved away from “the heart of the gospel being sin and redemption” to now…

God in all His fullness was pleased to live in Christ. (Colossians 1:19 NLT) Do not take these as just words. Do understand that in every fragment there is this truth: In the dispensation in which you and I are now living God has come to us in all His fullness. There is no more to be added. In His Son we have the absolute fullness of God, and it is out of that fullness that He speaks to us…

  In Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ. (Colossians 2:9,10 NIV) We have said that Christ is a heavenly revelation, but Christ is also a heavenly fullness. If God has revealed His mind, His thought in Christ; if all that God intended has been brought to us in a personal revelation: God has followed that up by the fullest provision in Christ for its realization and its…

God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.   I am always amazed when something I have read so many times in the bible, and revelations I have read from other authors, finally become life to me. This morning Jesus revealed Himself to me afresh as the ‘Light of the World’. I woke to my usual onslaught of thoughts that do not originate with me, but rather by their very nature, clearly come…

The tree needs branches to bear fruit A head needs a body to express itself God wants the church to express Himself Jesus is the image of the invisible God. He is the Tree of Life – The Vine tree. Jesus is the Head of His church. The church is the Body of Christ. Jesus said “I am the Vine, you are the branches”, Unless you remain in the vine you cannot bear fruit.

The other morning my husband Derek and I, sat down for our prayer time together which we do almost daily.  These prayer times have become the backbone of our marriage and such a tremendous time of mutual edification in our faith-walk with the Lord together as we pursue His Eternal Purpose.  I tell you this to give some context to Jesus’ sense of humour in what I experienced that morning. As we sat together I was battling internally with events from the night…

The Christmas Matrix

The first year I worked in a Christmas warehouse put together by combined charities, I saw over 400 families represented and the second year almost double that. Parents who were eligible for support came and chose up to 6 toys/gifts per child under age 12. Some families had 8 children, others one. Trolleys were donated from the local food store and I watched trolleys leave the warehouse loaded to the hilt, many with more than one trolley full. There were…

One Major Step In Spiritual Growth

One Major Step In Spiritual Growth

Comments 0 Comment

Just yesterday I began to see one of the most important stages in my Christian growth that I’ve not understood until now, through Andrew Murray’s book “Absolute Surrender”.  I have understood the point we as believers get to, when we share with Paul’s cry “oh wretched man that I am, who will save me from this body of death?” (Romans 7:24). I thought even getting to this point was a spiritual leap of some significance atleast. What I didn’t understand…
