Boaz saved his little sister Sally from a nasty accident today. Sally is three years old and we had to go down the hill track to get to Granny’s house. I got her to walk her bike down the stairs at the top of the hill track, but as soon as she got to the bottom of the steps she jumped on her bike. I called to her to stop and ran after her. It was too late, the slope of the hill meant she was unable to stop and she continued to accelerate down the hill, in an evermore-wobbly …

John 3:16 illustrates in a nutshell the Father God’s profound love for the world and his Son’s willingness to sacrifice himself for it:

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Verse 17 continues on to emphasize the reason for the Son’s sacrifice:

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

The Koine Greek word translated world above is: κοσμον (kosmon) This word does mean world but it also …

The Elijah List sent out a new prophetic word from Lana Vawser today. It fits nicely with a number of other messages God has given to prophets around the world and resonates with some of the things I have been thinking of late. As such I think it is an important and timely prophetic word relating to leaders and the annointing over their lives. Its well worth reading.

Isaiah 22: 22 says,

I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no-one can shut, and what he shuts no-one can open. [1]

This verse was originally part of a prophecy given to Isaiah concerning the raising up of Eliakim to a position of authority in Jerusalem and Judah. It also has a place in a long history of similar prophecies that we relate to the dominion of Jesus Christ over the works of the Devil.

In recent years this same verse has been mentioned in prophecies concerning the present day church …

At some time in their early childhood each of my children have found themselves with a broken toy or something of significance to them and each of them has said, “Daddy can fix it.” More often than not they are wrong… I can’t fix it! It is usually some badly made plastic piece or a specific part that I don’t have the ability to recreate or either the tools or know-how to fix.

However that doesn’t stop them declaring that I can fix it, from decapitated dolls to mangled Slinkys, they are sure I can make it as new. Even …

Sunday afternoon I found myself under duress from a bad stomach bug, it meant I would be spending the next day off work, it turned into two, as the bug was pretty bad. It was as good a time as any to take a closer look at The Lord’s Prayer. I couldn’t remember the reference for the passage so I asked my wife, Elizabeth, “Where is The Lord’s Prayer found?” She replied, “Ask David [our son], he will know. They have been learning about it in Sunday School.” I asked David which passage The Lord’s Prayer was in and, to …

Romans 5: 20-21[1]

The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

In these verses Paul presents the reader with an image of grace reigning. This is the radical result of the death and resurrection of the Son of God. Understanding this fully requires some background knowledge that Paul spends some time in chapter 5 of Romans articulating to his audience.

Paul explains to his …
