On Eagles' Wings

Following up on a Spiritual MRI of the Heart

December 16, 2022

A month ago I wrote about how to carry out a spiritual MRI of our hearts. Let’s assume you’ve done that and you now have the results. Now what? The answer is not some esoteric secret available only to an initiated few. It’s the ABC of Christian living.

A Spiritual MRI of the Heart

November 18, 2022

In Proverbs 4.23 Solomon warns his son, ‘Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.’ He goes on to give admonitions about the mouth, the eyes and the feet (vv24-27), but it is the heart that must be guarded above all else. Why? And how?

The Curious Ways of God

February 18, 2022

How often in Scripture and in history does the Lord act in a surprising, unexpected way? His ways are not our ways, and that is not because God is being unpredictable in a random or arbitrary way, but because he is so infinitely greater and wiser than us.

Faction Friendships

Too many Christians, on both sides of the controversies occasioned by covid, have retreated into their own tribe, making someone’s view of covid, lockdowns or facemasks the shibboleth of orthodoxy.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

December 17, 2021

Why was Jesus born in Bethlehem? One answer is because it was prophesied in Micah 5.2 and Scripture had to be fulfilled. This just puts the question one stage further back though. Why did God ordain that his Son would be born in Bethlehem?

The Week Coleraine Stood Still

October 16, 2021

On Tuesday 7 June, 1859, the town of Coleraine was visited by a supernatural phenomenon. It didn’t involve UFOs or little green men or monsters from outer space. It was something far more amazing that affected many thousands of the people who lived in our town at that time.

Why Kiss your Bride through a Veil?

September 17, 2021

Why do we insist that those training to be ministers of the Word learn Greek and Hebrew? Is it just tradition? Or a sadistic desire to inflict the same pain that previous generations of ministers had to go through?

Discipleship Together

February 19, 2021

Often it's not until something is taken away that we realise how significant it is. Hopefully we will all treasure much more the ability to interact freely and face to face with our brothers and sisters when that privilege is fully restored.

God Means it for Good

We may not always see God’s purpose as clearly as Joseph did, with or without hindsight, but his example helps us believe that whether we can see it or not, God is in control and is working out his perfect plan.
