God is Good 17
A collection of personal articles on this theme.
Bill Johnson has written a book titled God is Good - got there before me!
What you believe about God's goodness reveals how you will respond to the trials and circumstances of everyday life.
Your view of God impacts everything!
If it’s good, it must be God. Right? Better checkout Good or God? by John Bevere.
The Lord is good,
a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him.
Nahum 1:7
What to Pray 11
A series of articles based on Jesus' well known response to the question "Teach us to pray..." (Luke 11v1).
The Supernatural Kingdom 6
This is a copy of the notes I took taken during a Catch the Fire event titled 'The Supernatural Kingdom' where Isabel Allum was the main speaker. Having typed them out thought others might find some of the content beneficial.
These notes are very rough, reproduced just as taken, and in some cases are an aside thought which occurred to me at the time. Sometimes I had trouble understanding my hand scribbled notes, so in those places I have tried to interpret them as best I could.
Revelation Revealed (The Mushrooms of Patmos?) 28
I once heard a throw away comment about the 'Mushrooms of Patmos' - was the guy joking, challenging or had his great learning led him astray? Sometime later while watching TV I was praying - God what are you saying today, is there anything I should be investigating like the guys referred to in the film?
Then a few days later I happened to walk past Westside Church Vancouver BC and saw an advertisement for their Revelation series - I knew I was in Vancouver that day for a purpose, but this...? Thought 'this is something I need to look into'. Thanks Westside for your hard work and perseverance on this. May I and those who read this benefit where you have watered (1 Corinthians 3v6).
The Revelation series was also covered, in parallel, by The Shore Church (which is a church plant from Westside).
Later I discovered the article '4 Reasons to Read the Book of Revelation'.
This is a follow-on from another article 'The Pastoral Message of Revelation'.
David Campbell says it a lot better than me!
There is also this useful book by the same author 'Mystery Explained: A Simple Guide to Revelation'.

My heart leaps when I look at how accurately prophecies of Jesus's coming around 6BC to 30AD were fulfilled. As Paul wrote in Romans 1:19 'all are without excuse, because God has made it plain'. In similar manner I expect that which is currently unfulfilled will come to fruition and like Simeon in Luke 2:29-32 I can respond in worship.
No one has accurately been able to interpret the book of Revelation to the satisfaction of everyone else and this series is no exception, but I recall how my heart leapt on the Vancouver visit. I am reminded of my foundation :
Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so,
Little ones to Him belong, they are week but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so.
