Dear Precious Saints of MBC, I trust you are doing well and enjoying the New Year. Two weeks ago I suggested for the new year the challenge of moving from being a victim of circumstances to being a learner about life. Last week I suggested the challenge of mastering a gospel presentation and then sharing it with someone lost. Let me suggest a third challeng...

Following the all-important passage about life in the Spirit, Paul begins his final chapter with a focus on the practical. In it, he says nothing about signs and wonders, and he does not go into detail about spiritual gifts. He talks about how the community of faith operates when the Spirit is leading. Life in the Spirit involves healthy relationships within the body o...

Dear Precious Saints of MBC, I trust you are doing well and looking forward to the New Year.

Dear Precious Saints of MBC, I trust you are doing well and looking forward to the New Year. Every year brings with it challenges and difficulties. 2020 will be no different.

Before we move on to the final chapter of the book of Galatians, we need to look at the last 3 verses of chapter 5.

In this war there can be no truce. Paul closes out this sectio...

The oldest psalm recorded in the book of Psalms was written by Moses, the man of God (Joshua 14:6, Ezra 3:2). God chose and groomed Moses for the task of leading the children of Israel out of Egypt to the promise land. The problem: they refused to believe the promises of God and were destined to wander in the wilderness for 40 years while a generation of more than 1.2 mi...

Successful events of history are seldom a solo act: There are always key and supporting people behind the event. The birth of Jesus is no exception. Joseph and Mary clearly get top billing for the birth of Jesus, but behind the scene are numerous people: One such person is Simeon. We don't know much about his personal life but what we do know is significant. Simeon was...

Successful events of history are seldom a solo act: There are always key and supporting people behind the event. The birth of Jesus is no exception.

What made her special in her role of ...

Apart from our Lord's death and resurrection, the single greatest event in my opinion was the protestant Reformation. One of the most colorful figures of that movement was John Knox.
