Revelation 19:10 Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he *said to me, “Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (NASB) This verse is one that I … More The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Rev 19:10)
I’ve been reflecting lately on the nature of revelation, and the ways in which God speaks to us, with one particular focus: the element of mystery. Mystery is a Biblical idea and word. The book of Daniel features the idea fairly prominently in speaking more generally of the subject of revelation and prophecy. We find … More Pressing into the mystery
At the outset of many of my blog posts, I often have to find new language to excuse myself for what might seem like the obvious points made in the ensuing diatribe/exposition/rant/study/musing/etc. I’m afraid this one’s no exception. Revelation, I find, does not always involve the unveiling of brand-new information – in fact in my … More Love is…
I feel like I should say something special to commemorate post no. 99. (Not post no. 100 – that would be too clichéd) But those who know me will know I’m not usually the type who says something just for the sake of it. So what can I say? Only what’s on my mind at … More Post #99
I’ve once again been given the privilege of having a chance to preach at church on 9th Jan. In thinking and preparing a bit about what I’m gonna say, this phrase seems to sum it up quite nicely: Yesterday’s revelations are tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Wanna know more? Watch out for the audio of it appearing here … More Preaching 9th Jan – sneak preview
We have a good God. It is my firm belief that the understanding and belief that ‘God is good’ is the cornerstone to good theology. Living with an awareness of this, I have found more and more that Scripture confirms and underlines this! And here is just one more example that has been feeding my … More God’s mouth and His hand
I generally love listening to Shawn for the reason that he says stuff like this! Come on. I think this is great because it shows Christians that we can rise above this whole ‘cultural relevance’ thing that people try and go for so much, and become culture-setters. I’m okay with that!
There are lots of things that God seems to have been repeating lately. One is “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Another is “If God is for us, who can be against us?” All awesome verses from the Bible. And another thing, more of a concept than just … More Value in God’s economy
I blogged before about extravagant worship, concerning which I believe the Scripture has some important things to say. The Lord has been opening up a little bit more to me about this subject, of late. I have observed what else is involved in situations where worship is radically expressed in an abandoned way. It came … More Worship 7: The results of extravagant worship
There’s not much to this post. Just that the other day, in the context of a mission that we have going on at the moment, when I thought about Jesus in the Gospels, two things struck me without me even really thinking about it (in other words, the Lord spoke to me): purity, and power. … More Purity and Power
