God’s Teachings are both Awesome and Magnificent. They are also very practical because He Teaches us how to live. He has said that He will never leave us or forsake us. To heartily receive God’s Teachings will really benefit us greatly.

(This Second one teaches me that I Can Learn From Little Children)

Chris.

The Bible is very specific in the New Testament about God’s Word for Believing families. Husbands especially find it difficult sometimes to follow the Teaching of Jesus and the Bible because of their working environment.  We need to Pray for the Husbands in the Churches.

Jesus Christ is the One Who is like a Hiding Place from the wind. There have been powerful manifestations of windy weather all across God’s Earth this year. Today it has been the strongest wind in UK for 30 years. Quite a severe storm! Most people look for a hiding place from the wind. Jesus Christ is the One Who is our Shelter during the storms of life.

Chris.

One of the key words about our Christian Spiritual Life is “beginning”. The Bible tells us that: “in the beginning God”. Even though we may have been brought up in a good Christian family, for those of us who are True Believers we acknowledge the fact that our Faith Life had a beginning.

------------- 

Chris.

Holy women in the Church are of great benefit to the Church. They are firstly because of their lived out example of holiness. Secondly, because they are women of Prayer prioritised before Ministry. Thirdly, because they are subject to their own husbands. Under normal circumstances being subject to the husband is more important than being subject to the Leaders of the Church.

------------ 

Chris.

Sometimes we face a dilemma when our Church or Mission needs a New Leader. Whoever the New Leader is to be it is always necessary to adjust to that New Leader’s life and Ministry. It is even more difficult if the former Leader left for a bad reason because people’s trust is broken and they can become cynical of the New Leader. Prayer for the Leadership of the Church or Mission is always very important. 

Jesus Blessed The Babies!

‘Jesus Blessed The Babies.’

(Through this Second one I fully understand that He Still Had The Power To Choose)

------------- 

Chris.

Jesus Blessed the babies. The Disciples thought that this was a waste of time. The Disciples must have wondered why Jesus was not Preaching and Teaching the people. They must have wondered why He was not healing the sick folk. Jesus knew that it was important to Bless the babies because they also mattered to Him.
