    God Pursues His Beloved

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 2,806 views

    God wants to be known personally, intimately, and vitally. He wants us to look to him with deep affection, and to depend on him always, because we know him. So foster that true commitment to God: listening to him, speaking with him, and walking with him.

    Say you’ve met that “special someone.” It’s one you’ve come to love, it’s the one you want to marry. Probably we all can picture this very human event: meeting someone, falling in love, becoming husband and wife. There’s a lot of joy in this great gift! But then something takes place that nobody ...read more

    Are You A Church Builder?

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 5,038 views

    The work in Christ’s church will not get done in a hurry. We don’t even have a target date for completion. But this is what makes the difference for our church building: It’s the work of our Lord! It’s the church that Christ bought with his precious blood.

    Are you a church builder? Do you see it as your responsibility to serve the church of Christ? To strengthen it, and to grow it? You should, because that’s the calling given to you by the Lord God! Sometimes we like to leave church-building work to the experts. We leave the physical aspects of the ...read more

    The Hard Work Of Trust

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 2,783 views

    God teaches us to trust in him and in his Son our Saviour. God tells us that anxious care and bitter sighing won’t help. Discontentment will get us nowhere, but only humble trust and steadfast faith.

    Have you ever felt like complaining against the LORD? Maybe you’ve prayed and prayed, but the answer that you wanted hasn’t come. Or you don’t like what God has brought into your life: lots of disappointment, lots of frustration. Or maybe you look at all the wickedness in the world, and you fear ...read more

    Jesus Feeds His Hungry People

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 15, 2021
     | 6,128 views

    When we go to God through Christ, we will never walk away hungry. When we draw near to God with our whole heart, we will never walk away, disappointed. Because for us, our faithful Saviour will always provide enough—more than enough.

    If you’ve recently prayed the Lord’s Prayer, then you made the request to your Father in heaven that He would give you this day “your daily bread.” I wonder if that’s a petition we make with a lot of sincerity. Are we really concerned about getting what we need to maintain our bodies? Is there ...read more

    Jesus' Mercy For The Hopeless

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 7, 2021
     | 5,790 views

    Do you want to get well? Do you want to be made whole? Then are you desiring Christ? Are you seeking the Lord, and putting your hope in him alone?

    In the book of Proverbs we read this wisdom, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life” (13:12). Like so much of Proverbs, these words capture well the experience of our lives. “Hope deferred makes the heart sick.” Someone who prays and prays for the healing ...read more

    The Moment Everything Crumbles

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 22, 2021
     | 3,809 views

    Have you had one of those moments when it feels like you have hit rock bottom? Like everything has crumbled, and you are despairing? If you have had such a moment, then you may understand a bit of how Ezekiel felt in chapter 10.

    Have you had one of those moments when it feels like you’ve hit rock bottom? Everything has crumbled, and you’re despairing? If you’ve had such a moment, then you may understand a bit of how Ezekiel feels in our chapter. For in a vision he sees a terrible thing: he sees the glory of the LORD leave ...read more

    Sing Of Your Salvation!

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 22, 2021
     | 1,756 views

    The keynote theme of Scripture is the great and marvelous works of our God. In Christ, God has redeemed us from sin and death. So let that be your chorus and your refrain, each day of your life. Rejoice in the Lord!

    Sometimes there’s a reality so rich and so deep we can use many different words to describe it. It’s beauty and power can’t be captured by just one term. That’s the case when talking about what God has given us through our Lord Jesus. We might call it salvation. Or redemption. But it’s also ...read more

    The Blessing Of Tithing

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 22, 2021
     | 6,113 views

    It is easy to take the credit for our success. But if we understand where all blessing comes from, we start to realize that this is something that God has granted. Then we rejoice as we give, and we are glad to show him our gratitude.

    They say that it’s bad manners to bring up certain topics in public. One of these sensitive issues is money. We could talk about finances in a general way—interest rates, property taxes, the markets—but when it comes to personal finance, it’s a different story. It’s not polite to talk about how ...read more

    Measured Against The Plumb Line

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 22, 2021
     | 3,037 views

    We are tested every day by the Word of God. Are we continuing upright in the ways of the Lord? Are we inclined toward sin, or are we striving to be true to the Lord? The Word of God tests us, every time that we read it, every time we hear it.

    Have you ever seen a plumb line? Simply, it’s a string with a heavy weight tied to one end of it. A bricklayer will hang a plumb line beside a wall that’s under construction, to see if the wall is being built vertical and true. If things are out of kilter, then he’ll be able to see it right away: ...read more

    Praying With Good King Hezekiah

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 22, 2021
     | 3,798 views

    Looking back on the last few months, do you feel like you’ve been praying more, or is it less? Is this a practice that has been strengthened with you, or has it struggled? Has the seeking become less diligent, or the knocking not so confident? A praying Christian is a living Christian!

    In Luke 11:9 Jesus says these words to us, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Simple commands, yet astonishing. For his words reveal the great privilege that we have when we pray. This is the heavenly power that we access whenever we ...read more

    Jesus Gives Life To The Dying

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 14, 2021
     | 2,936 views

    Jesus doesn’t give every answer, and He sometimes sends us on ahead without any certainty that things are going to change. He doesn’t give a sign that will ease every doubt about our future, or worries about our family, or whatever else. Yet we can be confident in all that He has said.

    How much power do your words have? I mean, if you gave an order or a command, would your words carry any weight? Maybe they would, if you’re a mom and you asked your son to empty the dishwasher, or if you’re in charge at the office and you told your secretary to draft a letter. You speak, and it ...read more

    The Bridegroom Gives An Abundance Of New Wine

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 7, 2021
     | 2,824 views

    To those who love him, the Bridegroom gives this promise: his great marriage feast is coming! At that feast there won’t ever be the disappointment that it’s coming to an end, that the joy is running out, but there will be blessedness unending.

    When you meet someone new, it can take a while to get to know them. Maybe you’re starting at high school or university, and you’re meeting all kinds of people for the first time. Or you just gained a few new colleagues at work. Well, it’ll take a while to get acquainted. You chat together on and ...read more

    How Do You Answer Jesus?

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 4, 2021
     | 2,099 views

    What is our reaction to the Saviour? What do we do with the message of Jesus Christ? That’s a good question for us, who hear and read often about the coming of Jesus in the flesh and about his dying on the cross. So what do we do now? How do treat the message of the gospel?

    In this world there are scientists of all kinds. So many people, researching so many areas of knowledge. And among these many scientists, there are those who study human behaviour. They will even conduct social experiments because they want to know why people act and react the way we do. You could ...read more

    Faith In Action

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 4, 2021
     | 2,812 views

    Take the Word of God with you—whether you’re an older man, an older woman, a young woman or a young man, or a child. Let God’s Word fill you and move you. May it be said of us, “Those are people who really know what the Bible teaches. And they also put it into practice.”

    What does it mean to be a Christian? How would you answer that question? I think we’d start with what we believe. As Christians, we believe in the Bible as God’s Word. We believe that our God is Triune, that all people are dead in sin, and that we have new life through faith in Christ. As ...read more

    Walk In Humility

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 3, 2021
     | 2,451 views

    God wants us to cast aside all human pride, and to humbly trust that we need nothing except in him and in our Saviour Jesus Christ.

    Humility is of great importance in our Christian lives. Think of the well-known “summary of the law” in Micah, “He has showed you, O man, what is good and what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (6:8). Humility is so vital, yet there’s ...read more
