Today’s thought “A person who calls himself a Christian should not be doing things that are wrong” (November 25)

In this world we encounter lots of people who say they are a Christian. But when we look at their behaviour we could wonder if they could be worthy to call themselves Christian.

Today’s Thought: Fill up the measure of your fathers (January 21)

As his ministry reached its climax, our Lord confronted the religious leaders in Jerusalem. In Matthew 23 he calls them “hypocrites”, “blind guides” and “children of hell”. He says they concentrate on outward appearances “but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence” (23:25). His words stirred their hatred of him, which was already evident… Read More Today’s Thought: Fill up the measure of your fathers (January 21)

Today’s thought “Slow to anger and great in power” (December 10)

Today we began reading the prophet Nahum and his “oracle concerning Nineveh”. This city and nation (Assyria) was the great power of that earlier generation before Babylon became great. Remarkably it had repented at the preaching of Jonah and we reason that there was still some awe of Israel’s God at that time – flowing… Read More Today’s thought “Slow to anger and great in power” (December 10)

Today’s thought “That the nations might tremble” (July 8)

Today’s thought “That the nations might tremble” (July 8) First we read 1 Samuel 20, an account of Saul’s increasing jealousy of David – and his developing desire to kill him: such is human nature and its self-centredness.
