    Thought for August 22nd. “YOU WERE ENRICHED IN HIM”

    Today we started reading Paul’s letters to the Corinthians.  He tells the believers there that they have been “sanctified (i.e. declared to be holy) in Christ Jesus” and “called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus” [v.2]   So all genuine believers are “saints” – that is, as in Paul’s definition of what makes a person a saint.   A saint is any and every person who is separated from the ways of the world and aims to make their character more and more like that of Jesus – Paul is the outstanding example of someone who achieved this.  Paul is most concerned that the believers in Corinth are not making much progress in developing this although they had benefited from the wonderful “grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge” [v.5] They had initially put to one side as of no value the things the world counted as being of value.  They began a new life, the things they talked about – and sought more knowledge about these most important things  – at least they did this at first!  But as we read Paul’s two letters to them we see he has many concerns, coming to understand that many of them were not continuing in the same way as they started.  He encourages them to “wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. “ [v.7,8]  This is equally a message for you and me.  They must grow, says Paul, and become mature, he tells them, “among the mature we do impart wisdom, also it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age who are doomed to pass away.  But we import a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory.” [ch. 2 v.6-8]  God’s word is the source of that wisdom for us, let us make sure we feed our minds on it every day.

    God's Wisdom in the Family Design #4 A Mother’s Unique Role and Responsibilities Ken Styles

    A @Christadelphians Video: [Actual, provable Bible Truth] We are confronted with the profound reality that the family unit is not an accident of human evolution. It is a divinely orchestrated design, established by God to be the primary environment for salvation. Within this sacred structure, the role of the mother is uniquely critical. As we explore this subject, we uncover the wisdom of a Creator who uses the natural maternal instincts to teach the spiritual, elevating the role of a godly mother to one of immense eternal significance.This thought-provoking and insightful presentation, "God's Wisdom in the Family Design #4: A Mother’s Unique Role and Responsibilities," delivered by brother Ken Styles, is a wonderful and expositional study. It masterfully reveals the special spiritual sensitivity and influence God has placed upon mothers, challenging the world's devaluation of this sacred role. It is an outstanding call to recognise that the home is a kingdom-heading environment, and the mother is its primary architect. This revealing study demonstrates how a mother's daily life is the living Bible for her children, showing them the commandments of Christ put into practice.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction & Review: The Purpose of the Family03:54 - The Danger of Spiritual Abuse04:30 - A Moral Implication: Raising God's Children05:28 - The Metaphor of the Arrow05:50 - An Appeal to the Ecclesial Family10:42 - The Blessing of Conception13:48 - The Wisdom Behind God's Hatred of Sexual Sin17:40 - Introduction: The Mother’s Special Role18:52 - Unique Qualities & The Godly Environment20:33 - Living the Word: More Than Just Reading21:53 - The Mother's Spiritual Influence25:55 - Who is Saving Whom?

    The Appointed Time #3 '1260 years of Little Horn Dominion' part 1 with Bible Scholar David Zammit

    A @Christadelphians Video: [Actual, provable Bible Truth] We are delving into one of the most thought-provoking and insightful prophetic threads in all of Scripture. This expositional study on the 1260-year dominion of the Little Horn is outstanding in its clarity, revealing how Bible prophecy maps perfectly onto the timeline of history. Join us for a wonderful journey through the books of Daniel and Revelation as we uncover the identity of this power and witness God's sovereign hand at work.In this powerful session, we trace the prophetic timeline from the height of the Roman Empire, through its fragmentation, and the subsequent rise of a unique religious-political power. We analyse the principle of prophecy by repetition and expansion, showing how God highlights what truly matters. Witness the historical shift from persecution to imperial favour under Constantine, the church's embrace of political power, and the incredible fulfilment of Daniel's vision. From the breaking up of Rome to the rise of the Papacy and its remarkable domination, we prove that history is simply prophecy unveiled.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction & The Principle of Repetition in Prophecy04:45 - The Foundation: Nebuchadnezzar's Image (Daniel 2)06:00 - The Fourth Beast of Daniel 7: The Roman Empire10:00 - The Historical Fly-Through: From Pagan Rome to Constantine13:30 - Constantine's Influence and the Politicisation of the Church19:30 - The Splitting of the Empire & The Rise of the Ten Horns22:00 - Identifying the Little Horn: The Papal Power25:30 - The Pompous Words & Historical Claims of the Papacy28:00 - The Handover of Authority (AD 538) & The Key Historical Anchors31:30 - The Rise of the Holy Roman Empire & The Two Beasts37:00 - The Humiliation of Kings (The Road to Canossa)39:30 - The Persecution of the Saints & The Inquisition42:00 - The Turning Point: The French Revolution & The Rise of Napoleon44:30 - The End of Temporal Power (1798 & 1870) & Conclusion46:50 - Looking Ahead to Part Two & Call to Action**Bible Verse Category:**📖 Daniel 2:44 - The Kingdom of God📖 Daniel 7:7-8 - The Fourth Beast & The Little Horn📖 Daniel 7:19-22 - The War Against the Saints📖 Daniel 7:25 - The Time, Times, and Dividing of a Time📖 Revelation 12:10 - The Kingdom as They Saw It📖 Revelation 13:2 - The Dragon Gives Power📖 Revelation 13:11-12 - The Beast of the Earth**Tags:**Bible Prophecy, Book of Daniel, Revelation, 1260 days, Little Horn, Roman Empire, Constantine, Papacy, History, Bible Study, Christadelphian, End Times, Prophecy Fulfilled, Apocalyptic, Biblical Exposition, Daniel 7, Prophetic Timeline, Truth**We are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.

    Thought for August 21st. “SHOW US THE WAY WE SHOULD GO”

    The people of Judah who remain in the land, are confused and bewildered, after the Babylonians take the king and the important people to Babylon as captives.  They are leaderless after Gedaliah, the leading official whom the Babylonians appointed, is murdered. They approach Jeremiah for guidance, after all he had for years brought messages from God warning of the disaster that had now come on Jerusalem. We read today how they said to him, “pray to the LORD your God for us … because we are left but few … that the LORD your God may show us the way we should go and the thing we should do” [ch. 42 v,2,3]  The people see God as Jeremiah’s God, not theirs.   Jeremiah corrects them as he replies, “I have heard you.  Behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your request, and whatever the LORD answers you I will tell you.  I will keep nothing back …” [v.4] They respond appropriately and end up saying, “ … may it be well with us when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.” [v.6] Ten days later (v.7) Jeremiah is able to tell them that the LORD says there will be blessings “If you remain in the land” [v.9,10]  But they had already fixed in their hearts an intention to go to the presumed security of Egypt.  This illustrates the waywardness of human nature, the lack of most of a real consciousness of God’s will and guidance.  In the centuries since the advent of Christ, how many go to the Bible looking for evidence of what to believe? Rather, they go looking for evidence to support what they want to believe,  such as believing that faithful followers of Christ go to heaven when they die.  In this effort they distort the meaning of one or two texts, ignoring their context, so as to believe as they desire. John clearly states in his gospel that ”No one has ascended to heaven” [ch.3 v.13] except Jesus.  What did Paul expect?  In his last letter we read, “ … there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day and not only to me but to all …” [2 Tim 4 v.8]   A parallel tragedy is that many are told and believe that all they need to do is to publicly confess that Jesus is their LORD and they will be saved, but we read today in Mark ch, 16 that “whoever believes and is baptised will be saved” [v.16].  Baptism is going down and being buried into the water and coming up again as a symbol of believing Christ died and then rose – and you need to belong to him.   Jesus insisted that John the Baptist should baptise him, telling John, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness” [Matt. 3 v.15], setting us the example.   So it is then, as we carefully read God’s word, it will “show us the way we should go.”

    Thought for August 20th. “THOSE WHO PASSED BY”

    Mark’s account of the crucifixion includes the comment that “those who passed by (the cross) derided him, wagging their heads and saying, ‘Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross” [15 v.29-30]  Matthew’s account includes the added comment,” and we will believe …”  Imagine the scene! Imagine the blindness of their minds at all he had done, wonders that climaxed with the raising of Lazarus after 4 days in the tomb.  At least one saying of Jesus had stuck in the their mind, his response to them when they asked, “What sign do you show us …” and his strange but thought challenging answer, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” [John 2 v.18,19]  Only later did the disciples understand. There are those today who go to the Bible to misquote it, ignoring all the verses that say the opposite to what they want to believe.  They talk of the soul being immortal, but we read, “the soul who sins shall die” [Ezek 18 v.4]   They also talk of Jesus being co-equal with God and, in one sense, that is true: in John 17 v.20-23 we read how Jesus prays that believers, his genuine followers, “may all be one, just as you Father are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me … that they may become perfectly one …”  And so did the disciples became – never again did they argue as to who was to be the greatest.  May all genuine disciples of today make real progress in becoming “one” in this sense, and then, as Jesus prays, such believers “may be with me where I am, to see my glory …” [v.24] – and surely this is when he returns to earth.  May none of us be like “those who passed by” – they “mocked him” saying if he came “down from the cross” they would “believe.” [v.32] He is now at the “door” and will very soon open the door – and then the mockers will “see and believe” – but it will be too late, he will shut the door on them – see Luke 13 v.25.  May we have the perception of “the Centurion, who stood facing him (and) saw that in this way he breathed his last (and) said, ‘Truly this man was the Son of God.’” [v.39]   We are not told what difference it made to this Centurion, but Roman historians tell us that there were hundreds of Christians in Rome in A D 64 (34 years later) and that Nero made them take the blame for the fire that destroyed much Rome; the Gospels show there were several Centurions who were not among “those who passed by.”   May we, as much as possible, be like those early believers, “who believed (and) were of one heart and soul” [Acts 4 v.32]

    Thought for August 19th. “AND YOU WILL SEE”

    Today we read the 72 verses of Mark ch. 14; it is a heart moving account, especially if read slowly and thoughtfully in a way that engages our heart and not just our mind. It is a fairly detailed record of the day before the arrest of Jesus and then of his arrest and how this shattered the faith of his disciples.  Their faith was based on sight, they were to learn that true faith is having “the eyes of your heart enlightening, that you may know …” [Eph. 2 v.18] What is our faith based on?  Are we ready for a real test of our faith as this world falls apart? In some parts of the world real tests are taking place now. Let us make every effort to build up our faith so that when we sense his return is really imminent – and all around us is in increasing chaos – we firmly endure – until our faith is turned to sight.  Meditate on the scene when Jesus stood before the High Priest, and a mixture of witnesses made accusation against him because “the whole counsel were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none …. Many bore false witness against him.” [v.55,56]  It was the middle of the night, we are in awe as we imagine the intense emotions! The High Priest then asked Jesus, ‘Have you no answer to make?  … but he remained silent … Again the High Priest asked him, ‘Are you the Christ (the Messiah) …?’   “Then Jesus responded, “I am, and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” [v.60-62]. From Jesus words’ in Luke 13 v.28, “there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out” [Luke 13 v.28] it is clear that his accusers will be raised to life to witness his return and glory.  What agony of horror, what utter dismay will fill their hearts!  Imagine it?    A more important question will be our feelings when we are privileged to see this. Surely his coming is near, those younger in heart can surely say to each other ‘and you will see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom and ….’               And what?  We will see each other there too!  What feelings will be ours? We make sure of the answer now.
