  • Living a life with Joy and Delight 

    May the God of hope fill you all with joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ROMANS 15 VERSE 13

    Ps Graham Cook in BRILLIANT PERSPECTIVES writes ….
    “It is crucial that we remember that we have been created with God’s smile and great delight over our lives.  Learning how to cultivate our own sense of joy and delight is essential. Without joy being part of our daily routine, stress can overbalance our lives. 

    I believe the beginning of joy is gratitude and making a concerted effort to see the good in people and believe the best.  This doesn’t mean we walk around with blinders on or adopt an attitude of naivety. On the contrary, truly aligning with the Father’s heart of goodness means you are choosing to believe and see others the way God sees them. (more…)

    The Bible has quite a lot to say about hope.
    Biblical hope has as its foundation faith in God. The word hope in English often conveys doubt. For instance, “I hope the Aussies beat the poms again” In addition, the word hope is often followed by the word so. This is the answer that some may give when asked if they think that they will go to heaven when they die. They say, “I hope so.” 

    However, that is not the meaning of the words usually translated “hope” in the Bible.  (more…)

  • On God’s side

    Abraham Lincoln famously said, “My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side.”

    Right after the American Civil War, the most brutal and divisive war in American history, the winning side was clearly tempted to triumphalism. But Lincoln felt the shame of the horrible conflict, the sin on all sides, and the need for humble repentance if there was ever to be reconciliation and unity again. (more…)
