EQUALITY

Equality today means equality of value for all lifestyles. There is to be no freedom to discriminate and assign disapproval or condemnation. No toleration of intolerance. No absolute truth which is the measure of all things. Each man a law unto themselves.

If this position is questioned they reckon they feel threatened and offended and the guilty party is put in chains. None must disturb their pursuit of pleasure in satisfying their own lusts.

TRUE PROPHET

Prophets are those called to reveal the heartbeat of God for His world. His yearning for reconciliation and peace, both with Himself and between His people. His yearning too for righteousness, mercy and justice to hold sway.

This will disturb the self-seeking complacency of man and stir up rebellion and anger. It is the prophet who will be considered the troublemaker and muzzled.

HAVENS FOR ALL

God is itching to get His hands dirty in rebuilding His world of man and nature. It is to rebuild a garden and a shelter, a haven where He can live amongst His people and walk with them again.

He calls man to this high purpose. The only hands He has are ours. We must give them to make havens for others who are homeless and damaged.

GOD'S RELENTLESS CARE

When the Scripture reassures us that God cares for us, it is most of all in the sense of achieving His loving purposes for us of walking without blame and in true holiness. For that we may always pray.

SELF-RETREAT

The smaller we become, the more we make room for God to will and work within us. The greater He becomes, the more He takes the brunt of attacks upon us as we hide in Him.

TRUE LIFE

Eternal life is learning the art of living and dying in the presence of God.

A WEIGHTY CALLING

At every moment of our lives we are sent to make the fullness of the Godhead touchable, knowable and visible to those in our vicinity. After all, our heavenly Father, His dearly-loved Son and the Holy Spirit, the only true God, has taken up residence in us as Jesus made clear the last evening He spent with His devoted pupils. They would desert Him but He would never desert them.

We are a travelling sanctuary maintained and preserved moment by moment by the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe, rooted in His without-beginning-and-ending, never-failing love for us.

Ephesians 3 vs 14 to 21.
