March 25, 2020 Let it not be so: A message of Caution from a concerned brother.
Let it not be so:
Instead let these circumstances lead to a revival for each of us individually, in our families
and Ecclesially. A revival of the love of the word of God where we read it and study it – to
put it into practice when we re-enter circulation in the world.
The scriptures record the lives of many people who too had a dramatic change in
circumstances and disruption to their daily lives, cut off from others in their ecclesia. All of
whom used their circumstances in the service of God: Joseph was put into prison, Moses
went out into the desert, Elijah was hidden by the brook Cherith and David dwelt in caves
and the mountains.
While our situation is not so dramatic, most of us do find ourselves working at home and –
if we have them – our children are at home with us. And the cessation of ecclesial meetings
drives home the point which was always true – we cannot rely on the ecclesia to teach our
children and young people, we have a responsibility to do it ourselves. Now that we are all
together at home every day, surely we can put in place daily habits and practices in our
houses where the word of God and prayer to our Heavenly Father is central to each day.
A regime that means that we read the word together and discuss its value so that it can be
an encouragement and a light to our paths in these dark times.
We can also perhaps reconnect by letter, phone call or any electronic means with those
with whom we have lost touch. To check in and see how others are doing and what we
can do to help.
We can use this time to witness and show our faith – to explain to those with whom we
may interact why we are not afraid as others are that this could be the end of society – for
we know God is in control, Christ will return and rule over all the nations from Jerusalem.
And to those who are afraid of the worst outcomes we can explain from the scriptures why
“we sorrow not” as others do because of our hope – a hope that could be theirs also.
When this crisis passes as we know it will, either by our Lord’s return or the virus
running its course, let us not look back with regret that we regressed spiritually
during this time, or that we did not take the opportunity afforded us to witness for
the truth, or that we did not look after those who are more spiritually vulnerable.
Let us not regret not taking the opportunity to regain our love for reading the word of God
with our families in our homes.
Because we may never again get another opportunity anything like this time to refocus, to
revive our minds and to rebase our lives upon that which is important. To remember
whose we are and whom we serve and remember that we are heading towards the
Kingdom of God.
Let us occupy ourselves then at this time of difficulty and until the return of our Master.

March 25, 2020 Daily Bible Readings from the Christadelphian Reading Planner for 25th March
A small group of young Christadelphian brothers have taken the time to produce this valuable resource for the brotherhood and beyond, they are using the Bible reading planner developed by Brother Robert Roberts called The Bible Companion. The Bible Companion (or Bible Reading Planner) is a guide developed by the Christadelphians to aid reading the Bible. It was first produced by Robert Roberts when he was just 14 years of age, in about 1853, and revised by him over a number of years into its current format. Most Christadelphians use this plan each day and it was designed to help you read the old testament once and the new testament twice each year. These readings which we feature are recorded using the KJV or the NKJV of the Bible and we hope will be helpful to those who may struggle with time or who have poor eyesight.

March 25, 2020 Thought for March 25th..'' The Lord Bless you and keep you Numbers 6vs 24....''
"THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU" Mar 25
In Numbers we read that the establishment of Israel as an organised nation is now complete. It had been just over a year since they escaped from Egypt; the 10 commandments and other laws had been given, the tabernacle had been made and erected and is now ready for use. The priesthood. led by Aaron, had been appointed,
Our chapter (6) today concludes in a very significant way. “The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them,
The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”
This was a very special blessing, for they were about to celebrate the Passover of their deliverance from Egypt for a second time and then move forward toward the promised land – the land promised to their forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Read the words of this blessing again, encouraging words to stimulate positive thought that the LORD is with you. It is a most interesting phrase - to: “make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you”. David makes reference to this no less than 7 times in his Psalms. Moses, we know, “knew God face to face” [Deut.34 v.10], a relationship specially created, the outcome of 40 days in the presence of God on the mountain top.
Our heavenly Father seeks a personal relationship with us through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.” [John 14 v.9] Jesus represented the Father who himself “dwells in unapproachable light, whom no-one has ever seen or can see.” [1 Tim. 6 v.16].
We normally sing these words in seeking the LORD’s blessing when someone takes on the name of Christ through baptism. They have intense meaning to illustrate the wonder of the relationship God expects us to have with him when we become a brother or sister of His Son. We must remember them throughout our lives, being conscious of the way so many of the people of Israel failed to be conscious of them when they faced challenges in the wilderness. May the Lord bless and keep all of us who travel in faith through the increasingly barren wilderness of life today.

March 24, 2020 Thought for March 24th..''One who is dishonest in very little is also dishonest in much Luke 16vs 10....''
"ONE WHO IS DISHONEST IN VERY LITTLE" Mar 24
Honesty seems to be an increasingly rare commodity in the 21stCentury. Cheating the Govt at least a little is a common practice. The shop assistant is astonished, but pleased, when one hands back money when you have been given too much change after making a purchase!
We read today a parable Jesus told about a manager who worked for a rich man and who was doing his job poorly and “wasting his possessions” [Luke 16 v.1]. This man had his mind fully set on this life and when he learnt he was going to lose his job he began “summoning his master’s debtors one by one” [v.5]. He comes to an arrangement with them to reduce the records about how much they owe his Master: this will obligate them to give him some support when he loses his job.
The rich man commends “the dishonest manager for his shrewdness” saying, “for the sons of this world are more shrewd in their dealing with their own generation than the sons of light” [v.8]. It appears to be a cynical observation and is followed by a strange statement, “And I tell you make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into eternal dwellings.” [v.8,9]
The point Jesus is making is that the “eternal dwellings” of the unrighteous are their tombs – and some elaborate tombs have been found by archaeologists, including the tomb of the High Priest’s family – a miniature replica of the Temple. This is the only future they will have because they have made money (and the things it can buy) their main objective in life. Note Jesus’ words, “One who is dishonest in very little is also dishonest in much. If you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?” [v.11]
Our Lord’s final point is “You cannot serve God and money.” [v.13] We then read; “the Pharisees, who were lovers of money heard all these things and they ridiculed him. And he said to them, ‘You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts.” [v.14,15] They were blind to the reality of the all-seeing eyes of God. We must not be blind in this way, or in any spiritual sense, being honest and true in our thinking in much more than money.
