Think on these things

whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS. Philipians 4:8

We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds. Psalm 75:1 Sat down today and thought through this wee scripture. We give thanks to you, O God I need to stop more often and give thanks to God for who He is.  It is…

Lord, teach me to Pray

    He departed to a mountain to pray. Mark 6:46 Jesus took prayer seriously. It was not an after thought but more a before thought. It was not a last option, it was the first option. There are many instances in the gospels where we see Jesus at prayer. In John 17 we see…

What are you saying NO too?

Paul is closing out his letter to the church in Thessalonica and leaves them this “Do not quench the Spirit.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:19‬ ‭ESV‬ To quench something is to put it out in a deliberate way. Paul uses the image of a fire, Do not quench the fire of the Spirit in your lives, in…

A privilege to Serve one another

Some people ask me what I do for a living and I then tell them I am a Pastor. One man replied “A plasterer that's great, they always come in handy!” I love what I do.   What do I do then? I serve.   I serve others in church and outside Church. Not only…

“As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious,” 1 Peter 2:4 ESV The other day I was sitting praying and I had this impression that someone was struggling with rejection. You need to be reminded today that you are chosen and precious in…

The Grace Givers

Grace Givers There have been people in my life who have had an influence and set an example of what it means to be a real, authentic Christian. They have at times, when I have not deserved it, chosen to see the good in me, instead of the bad. They have looked beyond my failures…

Strength will rise as we WAIT

“He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary;…
