Exploring Scripture

Today's thought: The Lord knows where he has placed us, and for what reason. His word can reach us wherever we are, and can nourish us in our faith.

Today's thought: The Bible teaches that “we have this treasure in jars of clay” (2 Cor 4:7). You, and your brothers and sisters in Christ, are all “jars of clay”, and yet within, there is the life of Christ. Don’t be caught up in seeing them in the natural. Can you see the life of Jesus within them?

The faith that James wrote about was a faith that is not merely a cerebral affair, but one that is to be believed, experienced and worked out in the nitty- gritty of life at ground-level. This series will take your time over one or two verses at a time, hopefully allowing them to sink deeply into your heart and spirit. May you pick up the heart of James as you spend time with him.

Today's thought: each day, a volume of songs and prayers sits on your shelf, inviting you to enter and experience the world of the kingdom of heaven. Will you respond?

Today's thought: when was the last time you somehow sensed what was happening in heaven?

Today's thought: choose well. Don’t let the wind blow you away

Thought for the day: Read Proverbs 24:11,12. Ignorance is unjustified.

Today's thought: if people need to be saved, should that affect the reason and the way we do evangelism? Do we have a responsibility?

Today's thought: when the storms of life hit us, will we stand firmly rooted in Christ, or will we be blown away?

Today's thought: the wisdom and ways of God are ageless and have no need to be adapted to modern cultural tastes.
