Those who seek Peace are Sons of God!


The most common, yet immensely precious blessing that we find repeatedly proclaimed in the New Testament is that grace and peace be with us from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. There is a peace that God can fill our hearts with; a peace that assures us deep within that God is on our side, He is enthroned on High and He will never leave us. Let us strive for this peace. The Prince of Peace has gladly chosen to give it to us.

The Pure in Heart shall See God!


Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
1Jn. 3:2, 3

Consider the Kingdom of Heaven - The Wicked will be taken out from among the Righteous!


Christ Jesus died for our sake and cleansed us so that we might walk as a righteous new creation which, in the likeness of God, is created in righteousness and holiness of truth (Eph. 4:24). Let us honour this sacrifice by our faithfulness.

Flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.

Consider the Kingdom of Heaven - A Warning Repeated!


For the second time in one chapter, Jesus draws a distinction between the righteous and the evil. We have been called to be prepared for our Lord's coming and walk in the fear of God.

Consider the Kingdom of God - It is Priceless!


As we turn our eyes upon Jesus with all sincerity of faith and obedience, we will find that the "beauty" of the things of this earth will seem worthless in comparison with the glory that God reveals within us.

Consider The Silent, Powerful Influence of the Kingdom of God!


Let us submit to the holy influence of the Spirit and the Word in our lives. This submission will affect our entire being in such a way that as in the Lord's Prayer, God's kingdom and His will can be established in us here on earth as it is in Heaven.

Consider the Word that has Life - Guard Against the World!


The one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

Consider the Word which has Life - Let us be Rooted in it!

The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.
Mt. 13:20, 21

Consider the Word that has Life - Meditate on It!
