In thee shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. For readers and believers of the whole Bible, these are momentous times. Headlines about Israel lead the news, and not for reasons which make any reasonable person glad. The right or wrong of Israel’s actions and the actions of others which have brought themContinue reading “Sunday News 25 May 2025”

Holding the light. A woman at the church I attend shared a heartfelt account from her life experience last Sunday. She told how, due to some failings which she attributed to herself, some of her children were not ‘walking with the Lord’. But she had faith that God would restore them to himself. The childrenContinue reading “Sunday News 18 May 2025”

Golden cart before the horse. I had an interesting experience recently as a newcomer at a church I have begun attending. I expressed an interest in joining a ‘connect group’ which is one of many names in the contemporary church for a home group. Such a group might focus on Bible study, fellowship (another churchContinue reading “Sunday News 11 May 2025”

Double vision. ‘Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, his legs of iron, his feet partContinue reading “Sunday News 4 May 2025”

When all is lost, all is won. ‘And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.’ (Numbers 20:12) When I consider the tragedy of thisContinue reading “Sunday News 27 April 2025”

What word is this? Explainer 1: I saw a well presented blog recently which had nice pictures. So while I doubt this blog will ever be well presented in the way many are, I decided to include pictures, as I have above in this week’s Sunday News. The picture does not have any relevance toContinue reading “Sunday News 20 April 2025”

Beware – the fences are down. Before the last general election in my country – a couple of years ago now – I remember feeling a burst of outrage over what appeared to me the shear ungodliness of one of the candidates. My feelings were increased by the apparent blindness of people, including some believers,Continue reading “Sunday News 13 April 2025”

What life is this? Some of the worst things ever, on the surface of it, don’t seem that bad. Among the stories of Elisha in the Old Testament we find the account of the healing of Naaman the Syrian (2 Kings chapter 5). Elisha refused any reward for relaying to Naaman the message by whichContinue reading “Sunday News 6 April 2025”

Where is the battle? A particular societal conflict has recently been making headlines in my country concerning ‘drag queen’ story times put on for children in public libraries, and the protests by one church group against these events. These matters raise so many questions for me about Christian faith and its proper expression in theContinue reading “Sunday News – 30 March 2025”

Be ready always to give an answer ‘Always’ is always a difficult word. Consistency. How often our brilliant successes – if we experience them – are offset by dismal failures. The topic of this Sunday’s News is not the inner rage in us, nor the terror induced by others, both of which can block ourContinue reading “Sunday News – March 23, 2025”
