Word in Christ

I tend to wear very similar clothes every day. I cannot claim to have much 'dress sense'. Yet, believe it or not, before Pippa and I got married it was even worse. When I got married, my flared trousers, misshapen sweaters with holes, string vests, ties (inherited from an uncle) and dilapidated trousers had to go. I hate getting rid of things - especially clothes to which I am attached. They feel like old friends. But alas, the time had come to be re-clothed. As well as the outer clothing, our hearts and minds have an inner clothing. When you come into a relationship with God through Jesus, the old clothes have to go and you need a new set of clothes for your heart and mind.  Proverbs 24:15-22 Control your heart and mind about other people Have you been wronged or hurt in some way by someone and then found out that they got into trouble? This passage warns us against thinking that they are getting what they deserve and rejoicing over their problems: ...

Therefore we are always confident. We live by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:6-7). When you struggle with problems, difficulties and disappointments, or when you have to make crucial decisions, do you trust God to the extent that you are willing to put your life unconditionally in His hands? Are you absolutely confident that whatever He allows to happen to you will work out for your good? Or are you struggling ahead in your own strength until you feel totally defeated? Jesus Christ came to confirm that God loves you without a shadow of doubt. Nobody can argue about His care, help and compassion for you. You are precious in His sight! If this is true, then it is also true that Christ will not allow anything to happen that could hurt you. On the contrary, He wants only what is best for you. When you have this assurance in your heart, you cannot do anything but trust God unconditionally in everything that you undertake. To ensure that you have peace of mind, you have to ...

The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters (Psalm 24:1-2). Spring awakens in all its beauty after the dreariness of winter; hesitantly at first, but then in all its glory of color, luscious greenery and birdsong and involuntarily one becomes astonished by the beauty of God's Creation. What was dead and dull becomes an abundance of color. The birds that migrated during the winter months return and warm the hearts of all who want to listen to their joyful singing. When you look around at that time of year, you cannot help but prayerfully sing the words of that immortal song, "How great Thou art!" In a world where everybody seems intent on self-destruction; a world of violence and anarchy, pollution and extinction, the replacement of natural resources with artificial aids, spring arrives and hope flares up again. There is also a revival of faith. If you h...

"I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10). There is but one way out of all negative, disconcerting and terrifying experiences of life - the highway to God! This is the road we have to take when we are burdened with frustration, disappointment and failure, sorrow and pain. Jesus extended a hearty welcome to all of us when He said, "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). There is no situation that God cannot handle. There is no problem that He cannot solve.  Nothing is so tangled that He cannot unravel it; there is no heart that is so broken that He cannot heal it. Our problem is that we feel we should first try to put things straight ourselves. When we fail, we call on psychologists and counselors to help us. When they can't help us, we become anxious and fearful, hopeless and inconsolable. And all the while God is waiting to help us if we wou...
