Life is not always lived in the light. Not even the Christian life. Especially not the Christian life. What do we do when the darkness invades the light?

Please leave a comment here so that we can all learn from one another. We learn best when we learn in community. 

I hope you have a wonderful week of fulfilling quiet times.

What has a piece of string got to do with your audience remembering the point of your lesson? 

We learn from my friend Barry Edwards, and the prophet Ezekiel.

“Now, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber’s razor to shave your head and your beard. Then take a set of scales and divide up the hair. When the days of your siege come to an end, burn a third of the hair inside the city. Take a third and strike it with the sword all around the city. And scatter a third to the wind. For I will pursue them with drawn sword.” Ezekiel 5:1–2 NIV11

God has promised us so much. What happens when we doubt those promises and what can we do to make sure we inherit them? 

We take a look at Hebrews chapter 6 and the example of Abraham. 

We can have confidence because God does not forget and God does not lie.

Amen.” Heb 13.20-21

What's the big deal with drifting? The writer to the Hebrews offers a stern warning about its dangers in chapter 2 of the Epistle.

Drifting is dangerous. Ask anyone caught in a riptide. But what about spiritual drifting? How dangerous is it? What are the signs?
