    God's Wisdom in the Family Design #5 Faithful Parenting with Bible Scholar Ken Styles

    A @Christadelphians Video: **Actual, provable Bible Truth** – Discover the profound design God has woven into the family in this thought-provoking and expositional presentation by Bible Scholar Ken Styles. This is the fifth instalment in the outstanding series, *God's Wisdom in the Family Design*, and it delivers a wonderfully insightful look into faithful parenting.We explore how the commandment to "honour thy father and mother" is not just a rule for children but a mirror for parents, revealing how we must live to be worthy of that honour. Ken reveals that parenting is not about forceful control but about faith-filled discipleship, where our primary responsibility is to teach our children the principles of God's Word. He provides a wonderful and practical guide, blending biblical exposition with heartfelt encouragement for every stage of the parenting journey.From the inspiring example of Jacob’s enduring faith to the incredible generational faithfulness of Jonadab, this talk reveals how a "kingdom-heading family" is built through a massive educational program and a foundation of genuine love. Ken also covers the delicate balance of discipline, showing how it must be administered as a tool of salvation, not anger. This is an essential watch for parents, grandparents, and all who desire to see their families aimed in the right direction.**Timestamps:**00:00 - Introduction & The Commandment to Honour08:14 - The Parent's Role as God's Ambassador15:52 - The Crucial Link: How Parents Must Model Godly Honour18:26 - Parenting by Faith, Not by Invention22:46 - Practical Ideas: Making the Bible Come Alive28:39 - The Foundation of Love for Effective Discipline34:09 - The Rod of Correction: A Tool of Salvation40:57 - Examples of Faithful Parenting: Jacob43:53 - Examples of Faithful Parenting: Mordecai46:39 - Examples of Faithful Parenting: Jonadab53:22 - Examples of Faithful Parenting: Abraham59:41 - Conclusion: Make Yours a Kingdom-Heading Family**Bible Verse Categories:**📖 *Galatians 5:6* (Faith that works by love)📖 *Deuteronomy 6* (The educational program for families)📖 *Ephesians 6:4 & Colossians 3:21* (Provoking and discouraging children)📖 *Hebrews 12* (God's discipline for our good)📖 *Psalm 78:6* (Teaching the next generation)📖 *Jeremiah 35* (The stand of Jonadab)📖 *Genesis 18:19* (Abraham's faithful command)📖 *Genesis 22* (The faith of Isaac)**Tags:**Bible Study, Christadelphian, Faithful Parenting, God's Wisdom, Family Design, Ken Styles, Bible Scholar, Faith, Scripture, Discipleship, Family, Christian Parenting, Biblical Principles, Honour Your Parents, Kingdom, SalvationWe 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.

    What Everyone gets 'WRONG' about Taking God's Name in Vain.

    A @Christadelphians Video: # SummaryThis PRESENTATION explores the deeper meaning of the commandment "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain," highlighting that it goes beyond simply avoiding the casual use of God's name. It discusses the significance of God's personal name, Yahweh, and how it reflects His character and purpose. The presentation emphasises the importance of living in accordance with God's principles and fulfilling the commitment made upon taking on His name, especially through baptism.# Highlights- 📜 **Understanding Vanity**: The commandment addresses not just the casual use of God's name, but the concept of vanity, which means something empty or worthless. - 🕊️ **The Name Yahweh**: God specifically uses His personal name, Yahweh, which signifies His plan to develop a family that embodies His characteristics, such as love and mercy.- 💍 **Taking on God's Name**: Embracing God's name is akin to a bride taking her husband's name, representing a commitment to align oneself with God's purpose and character.- 🌊 **Baptism as Commitment**: In Christianity, baptism represents taking on God's name, akin to a marriage vow, committing to reflect God's characteristics in one's life.- 🌍 **Living Up to the Commitment**: To take God's name in vain means to render one's commitment meaningless by not living according to God's principles, thus failing to represent His glory and character.# keyword#GodsName #Christianity #Baptism #tencommandments #bibleunlocked The third commandment, about taking God's name in vain, seems fairly straightforward. But when you compare this command to the others included with it, (thou shalt not murder or steal) it almost seems too simple.

    Thought for August 26th. “UNDIVIDED DEVOTION”

    The Apostle Paul demonstrates what it is to give the Lord “undivided devotion” [1 Cor.7 v.35].  We have to acknowledge however that his case was exceptional, although there were others who remained single, e.g. Barnabas, as we will read tomorrow in ch. 9 v.5,6. We note that Peter, the leading Apostle, had a wife (Matt 8 v.14 ).  Jeremiah, whose long journey as a prophet  in serving the LORD we have nearly finished reading, is never mentioned as having a wife.  Paul is sometimes misquoted as though he counsels believers not to marry; however, it is clear that Corinth is experiencing considerable chaos and Paul writes, after first admitting, “I have no command from the Lord,” that, “I think in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is….  Do not seek a wife.  But if you do marry, you have not sinned …” [v.25-28]    The vital thing is to become “firmly established in … heart” [v.37] and the daily feeding of our mind on godly thoughts and advice is a vital ingredient in achieving that.  An example of the opposite, of an unstable character with an unbelieving wife, is seen in the behaviour of Ahab in today’s chapter in 1 Kings 21.  Yet even he, after his evil wife Jezebel had orchestrated the death of Naboth, apparently without him being aware, an act that enabled him to gain Naboth’s vineyard; when he is confronted by and denounced by Elijah, “humbled himself before” God [v.29].               As a result God says, “I will not bring the disaster in his days: but in his son’s days I will bring the disaster …”  However, as we will read tomorrow, it is soon God’s will that he shall die because he listens to false prophets rather than a prophet of the LORD and, despite disguising himself, is killed in battle.  As life’s battles increase in these days, and, the world’s fears increase, let us try even harder to give to our Lord “undivided devotion” – and, if we have a wife or a husband and can do this together, then let us see, if we haven’t already seen, how much we can still accomplish in the service of our Lord and Saviour.

    Watchman Report: Settlers on the Mountains of Israel - with Bible Scholar/author Matt Davies

    A @Christadelphians Video: [Prophecy being fulfilled!]What an extraordinary week it has been for those watching the mountains of Israel. As we observe the headlines surrounding the E1 settlement plans and the re-establishment of Kadim, we are witnessing something truly thought-provoking unfold before our very eyes. The international outcry from Britain, France, Germany, and Italy over Jewish construction near Jerusalem is yet another remarkable sign that the biblical stage is being set for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.In this outstanding exposition, Bible Scholar Matt Davies guides us through the prophetic significance of these current events, demonstrating how the words of Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Joel are being fulfilled in our generation. The mountains of Israel are once again inhabited by God's people, Jerusalem has become that burdensome stone to the nations, and the division of the land has become the great diplomatic controversy of our age.This is a wonderful and revealing presentation that will strengthen your faith and encourage you to look beyond the immediate political disputes to see God's hand at work in history. The prophecies are not merely ancient words—they are living, breathing revelations that speak directly to our time.Join us as we explore why these settlements matter, what the prophets foretold, and how these events point inexorably toward the soon return of Jesus Christ to establish God's Kingdom upon the earth.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction: Settlers on the Mountains of Israel01:00 - The E1 Controversy: International Diplomatic Dispute02:12 - Kadim Re-established: Jewish Pioneers Return04:04 - Bible Prophecy: Setting the Stage04:40 - Ezekiel's Prophecy: The Mountains of Israel Restored07:03 - The Latter Days: Invasion Foretold09:34 - Zechariah's Prophecy: Jerusalem the Burdensome Stone12:05 - Joel's Prophecy: The Nations and the Division of the Land14:38 - The Final Conflict: All Nations Against Jerusalem15:49 - Observing the Signs of the Times17:28 - The Resolution: Christ's Return and God's Kingdom18:26 - Closing Remarks and Call to Action**Bible Verse Category:**📖 Ezekiel 38:8📖 Ezekiel 38:10📖 Ezekiel 38:8 (Latter Days)📖 Zechariah 12:2-3📖 Joel 3:1-2📖 Zechariah 14:2-3**Tags:**Watchman Report, Bible prophecy, end times prophecy, Ezekiel 38, Zechariah 12, Joel 3, mountains of Israel, Jerusalem prophecy, Israeli settlements, E1 settlement, Kadim settlement, West Bank, prophetic fulfilment, latter days, return of Jesus Christ, God's kingdom, biblical current events, Middle East prophecy, Christadelphian, Bible study, prophetic signsWe 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 25th. “DO YOU NOT KNOW …?”

    We live in a world which likes to say that ‘You are the most important person!’  Self-centredness is encouraged – and that is understandable if you believe there is no God, that everything that exists just evolved – mysteriously creating itself: but we know this is all a human delusion! We must look at the reality of life – from God’s perspective – and Paul is a great help to us, for that is how he sees life as we read today in 1 Corinthians ch. 6 as he encourages the believers to see life from this perspective.  Some of them were misbehaving; there is “sexual immorality” in Corinth.  He asks, “Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?” [v.15]           Then he adds another question, “Do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her?” [v.16]   These points are a prelude to his appeal to them to see the bigger scene – of what their lives really should become  – to ‘grow’ and see spiritual realities, recognising more and more their position as “members of Christ.”  That is a wonderful, but at the same time, a challenging vision to conceive in our mind.         “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you which you have from God?” This is followed by an equally significant point, “You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.  So glorify God in your body.” [v.19,20]  How can we, do we, accomplish this?                In v.17 we read, “He who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him”  A unique oneness of mind develops! But recall what we read at the end of ch. 2,  “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God …. They are spiritually discerned … For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him.  But we have the mind of Christ.”   The next chapter shows the Corinthians had not yet developed this – and us?  The Corinthians were not yet “spiritual people” but “infants in Christ” [3 v.1]  – and us?  Another vital question – how do we “glorify God in (y)our body?”   How did Jesus?  He set the example, followed by Paul, our Lord had total commitment to serve God in all that he said and did – to make God’s will – his will.  As we do this, we realize more and more clearly what it is to “have the mind of Christ.”  As we change the way we think we become more and more selective of the things in life that help us to become more like Christ.  Do you not know this?  Is Christ the most important person in your life?  He should be.

    Thought for August 24th. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE”

    Elijah showed he was a man of great faith when he challenged the wicked king Ahab on Mount Carmel, fire miraculously burnt up his offering and 450 prophets of Baal were killed. Then three and a half years of drought came dramatically to an end!  But after that he had a remarkable collapse of faith.  Could it be that, after the remarkable climax of events on Mt Carmel, he thought everything was going to be easier now and his intense of faith in God while on the mount relaxed? But it was not going to be easier, in today’s chapter (I Kings 19), when Jezebel declares her intention to kill him because he had caused the death of her 450 prophets, Elijah’s confidence in serving the LORD suddenly collapses and he runs for his life.  Is this a lesson for us, to a much lesser degree of course? He says to God, “It is enough now O LORD, take away my life for I am no better than my fathers.” [v.14] But the end result is that he finds God in a more personal way than ever before. First, food is miraculously provided for him and after 40 days (interesting that is the same period that Moses spent on the mountain with God) Elijah comes to “Horeb, the mount of God.” [v.8]  where Moses had received the law. He lodges in a cave [v.9] he hears a voice, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”  and he experiences the awesome power of God. He thinks he is the only faithful person left in Israel and is told there are 7,000 in Israel who have not bowed the knee to worship Baal (v.18).  As he hides in the cave there is a strong wind, strong enough to break the rocks, then an earthquake and then a fire!  Awesome, it is rather parallel to God’s judgements on the world at the end of this age when Jesus is about to come. And how soon is that?  Very soon? We must each ask ourselves, ‘What am I doing here? Surely there is still some work to be done for the Lord.

    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?
