“DIRECT THEIR HEARTS TOWARD …” 1 Chron 29:18
We tend to give only passing attention to our Chronicles reading because our other readings in Ezekiel 38 and John 4 provoke so much thought. But in Chronicles we have the climax at the end of David’s life. Consider the scene: he had made great provision for building the Temple, others had followed his example and “the people rejoiced because they had given willingly, for with a whole heart they
“THE WORD BECAME FLESH”
Today we began reading the Gospel of John, the most remarkable and thought challenging of the four gospels. John portrays in far more detail the picture of the person of our Lord and His Father’s purpose in him. On the day of Pentecost, Peter told the crowd that Jesus was “delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God” [Acts 2 v.23] John begins his gospel by telling us of

“THE PEACE OF GOD” Phil 4:4-7
“The peace of God” is of a totally different character to human concepts of peace. Paul tells the Philippians, “do not be anxious about anything.” Feeling anxious gets in the way of the kind of “peace” God alone can give. Instead, Paul tells us to “rejoice in the Lord always … by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God … and the peace of God, which surp
“COME AND HEAR WHAT THE WORD IS …”
We have a conscience challenging chapter (33) in Ezekiel today. We learn that the prophet has been in captivity among the other Jews for 12 years and 10 months when the hopes of those there are finally extinguished, by news coming from “a fugitive from Jerusalem (who) came “and said, ‘The city has been struck down.’” [v.21] The LORD then makes Ezekiel aware of the reaction of the peop
“SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE” Ephesians 4:14-15
How wonderful to know what is true – the Truth that the Bible alone reveals. Yet how often do we see examples in history of such knowledge causing people to be “puffed up” and pleased with themselves – an attitude which undermines their privilege in understanding the real truth in a world full of burgeoning human knowledge and self-centredness. Paul counselled Timothy (whom he left in Ephesus) to
“BUT GOD WAS DISPLEASED.” 1 Chronicles 21:7
Our Chronicles reading today highlights David’s folly in getting Joab, the commander of the army, to total the number of men in Israel’s armies. “But God”, we read, “was displeased with this thing and he struck Israel” [1 Chron.21:7] Why was God displeased? What motivated David to number the strength of his army? The text does not specifically say, but does the strength of an army, from God’s
“… ONLY FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6
The word “faith” is special to the New Testament. Where it occurs in the Old Testament, it is most often about breaches of trust. The contrast between the Old and the New, is the need, under the Mosaic Law to observe the rules of the Law in the right spirit, and this they largely failed to do except when they had a righteous king, especially under David and Solomon.In the time of Jesus, the Phari
“WHO AM I LORD?” 1 Chron 17:16
We have 3 thought challenging readings today. Our thoughts primarily dwelt on David’s reaction to being told of a special son and that “the throne of his kingdom … I will establish forever. I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son … his throne shall be established forever” [1 Chron. 17 v.12-14 ] David is overwhelmed by God’s reaction to his desire to build a Temple, especially h

“WHEN I GATHER … ISRAEL” Ezekiel 28-25
The final two verses of our reading of ch. 28 in Ezekiel today fit the scene in and around Israel fairly accurately so that we are inclined to dogmatically apply it to the circumstances we have witnessed in the Middle East in recent years. Yet such is the nature of many parts of the prophecies that appear to relate to the latter days, some specifically stating they do, that we hesitate to be too
“WHY DO DOUBTS ARISE …” Luke 24:38
Today we completed reading the Gospel of Luke and what a remarkable, heart stirring reading we experienced in the last chapter. Luke proved, in the compilation of his book, what a thorough historian he was. The women were the most dedicated of the followers of Jesus and they were the first to become aware of his resurrection. The account of the two who travelled to Emmaus with an unrecognised J

“STOOD AT A DISTANCE WATCHING” [Luke 23:49]
Pilate was the most powerful man in Israel in the days of Jesus. But he was strangely helpless in carrying out his own desire to let Jesus go free, although he said, as we read today, “I find no guilt in this man” (Luke 23 v.4) and “nothing deserving of death has been done by him” (v.15), and twice said, “I will release him” (v.16 and v.22). It is strange how Pilate gives in. When we compare t
“THEN SATAN ENTERED …”
Today, in Luke ch 22, we read of the arrest of Jesus. Before this he and the disciples had a Passover meal of the bread and the wine: it would only be later the disciples would see the wonder of all their Master said on that occasion and remember his words, “Do this in remembrance of me.” [v.17] and learn the lesson to be like him in being “as one who serves.” [v.27] The reward for their service
“THOSE WHO DENY THAT THERE IS A RESURRECTION…”
We have 3 chapters today that teach valuable lessons. 1 Chron. Ch. 10 tells us that “Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the LORD …” [v.13] in not keeping his commandments, a lesson for all those who have committed themselves to serve the LORD.“The word of the LORD came to me “ says Ezekiel [23 v,1] and he receives a parable that pictures God’s disgust at the spiritual adulter
Cognitive Surrender - Ai & the battle for the mind" Watchman Report#68
This week's Watchman Report has been compiled by Brother Bryan Styles (Livonia) and takes a detailed look at the subject of Ai which has dominated the news this week saw Ai Leaders Warn the Technology could be a risk to humanity, and world leaders at the UN General Assembly have met to discuss its use and what controls, if any could be used to allay fears of AI ultimately destroying mankind.

WERE HANGING ON HIS WORDS” Luke 19:48
What is our attitude of mind as we read God’s word? Are our minds “hanging” on what we read, most of all when they are the words of Jesus and his apostles? In the days of Ezekiel, “the word of the LORD” was what they did not want to hear, so they did not listen; already we have encountered this phrase 4 times! (Ch. 6v.3; 13 v.2; 16 v.35; 20 v.47) It was quite a contrast in the days of Jesus – but

“ALL FLESH SHALL KNOW”
Our Ezekiel chapter (21) starts with Ezekiel being told to “Prophecy against the land of Israel” and that the LORD “will cut off from you both righteous and wicked … and all flesh shall know that I am the LORD” [v.2,4,5] In effect God is now saying, ‘I mean what I say.’ The fascinating part of the chapter is the long term prophecy Ezekiel then receives from the LORD, “… O profane wicked prince
“YOU SHALL REMEMBER YOUR WAYS” Ezekiel 20:43
One of the most widely used Hebrew words in the Old Testament is the word Zakar. It is usually translated ‘remember’ but it does not necessarily mean ‘suddenly bringing to mind something you have forgotten’. It means focusing your mind on something in particular, it first occurs in Genesis 8 v 1 “And God remembered Noah and all…that were with him in the ark”. The work “remember” occurs in b
“BUT GOD KNOWS YOUR HEARTS” Luke 16:15
Luke has left on record for us two intriguing parables, probably those which are most difficult to grasp as to their meaning of all the parables of Jesus. Let’s start though with recalling yesterday’s chapter 15 where we see that as the “tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him … the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” [v
“MAKE YOURSELVES A NEW HEART”
Our chapter (18) in Ezekiel offers us a change of focus, instead of describing the sins of God’s nation, the prophet is caused to express God’s encouragement to individuals in that nation to turn from their evil ways and serve him. This is also a chapter which stresses the divine judgement on individuals and shows that the word ‘soul’ does not mean some ‘spirit’ part of a person, often referred t
“NO KNOWLEDGE OF GOD”
Sin is not a word people use these days, I even met a teenager who had never heard the word ‘adultery’ – and had no idea what it meant – she came into our Bible Education Centre on a rainy morning while waiting for the Internet place next door to open. Today, attitudes are as they were in the days of Hosea who wrote, “ the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants … There is no faithfulness or s
“FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS …”
They did not have banks in those days! We read today in Luke 12 v.16-20 of a man who built many barns to “store all my grain and my goods” so he could “relax, eat, drink and be merry.” This is the spirit among many in Australia today, the emphasis is on material well-being! Of course it is not necessary to build bigger barns or have barns at all, but what security do banks offer? Figures in c
“THEREFORE BE CAREFUL LEST …”
Our chapter (11) in Luke’s gospel today is full of challenging sayings by our Lord. There is great spiritual value in deeply meditating on them and seeing the extent to which they have application to the circumstances in which we live today. The background to many of them is the self-righteous attitudes of the religious leaders who contended with Jesus. Praise of Jesus’ mother developed in early

“LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUYR HEART"
How depressed Ezekiel must have been! The LORD caused him to be aware of the totally godless attitude that existed in Jerusalem. He writes, “certain of the elders of Israel came to see me.” [14 v.1] The “word of the LORD” comes to him, “… these men have taken their idols into their hearts and set the stumbling block of their iniquity before their faces. Should I indeed let myself be consulted b
“Let these words sink into your ears:
What effect do the words of the Bible have on you as you read them? They vary greatly as we have seen today: but this causes us to exercise our minds in many different ways – and this is good for us. God has overseen the recording of many different events and messages so that what he has caused to be written is a lifelong study – indeed, more than a study, often a cause of prayerful meditation.

'They asked him to depart' Luke 8:37
We read of a remarkable miracle today in Luke ch. 8., the healing of a man who had become totally deranged in mind. He was well known, owned a house and lived in the city before he became insane. Jesus did many miracles in many different ways but this healing was particularly challenging to those who knew the man and lived in his city. Jesus came to “the country of the Gerasenes and this man, in
“BLESSED IS THE ONE WHO is not offended in me …” Luke 27:23
As usual, all our chapters are full of meaningful lessons: first, Hezekiah after his life is extended 15 years is succeeded by a 12 yr old son, Manasseh who turns out to be a very bad king. We wonder about the role of Hephzibah, his mother in this. The spirituality of whom we marry is very important. Her name is apparently of Phoenician origin, meaning, ‘delight of Baal.’ Again the spirit takes
“I HAVE SEEN YOUR TEARS” (2 Kings 20:5)
We read and thought yesterday about the anxieties of King Hezekiah over the Assyrian invasion and the potential fall of Jerusalem. The king appealed to Isaiah to seek the help of the LORD. Later he went into the Temple and “prayed before the LORD” [2 Kings 19 v.15] himself. There is a progression in his approach to God – do we have the same experience as we seek to get closer to our Creator and
“THE SURVIVING REMNANT”
Today’s chapter 19 of 2nd Kings brings Isaiah onto the scene. King Hezekiah in his great distress at the conquests of the Assyrians and now their presence outside the walls of Jerusalem sends his secretary and senior priests to the prophet, with a message saying, “It may be that the LORD your God heard all the words of the Rabshakeh,” adding, “therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that i
The Christadelphians:#22 'Walking with God'
[Actual, provable Bible Truth] Walking with God is not a single moment of decision but a lifelong journey of faith. Salvation is a process—from being a servant of sin to becoming a son of God—and it is completed only at the return of Christ, when the faithful are granted immortality. This is the powerful, scriptural reality that transforms everyday life into a pilgrimage towards the Kingdom.This t
“THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM”
How hard it is to hear or find any “good news” these days! All nations and kingdoms appear to be in disarray especially in the Middle East, only Israel stands firm. The nations think that their destiny is entirely in their own hands, but God’s purpose is being worked out and dedicated Bible students diligently watch events trying to see more clearly how the various prophecies apply. We read in 2

“CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS”
The world is a spiritual wilderness today. We read today of when John the Baptist appeared on the scene and that he was a “voice crying in the wilderness” [Luke 3 v.4] – it was a spiritual wilderness then too, there had been no prophet from God for about 400 years – since the days of Malachi. Today there has been no message from God that people have taken serious notice of since the Bible was t
The Canadian C-9 Bill what it means for Christians with Bible Scholar Ted Hodge.
A @Christadelphians Video: [Prophecy being fulfilled!] In this thought-provoking and revealing episode of the Watchman Report, we examine Canada’s Bill C-9—a law that, on the surface, addresses rising anti-Semitism, yet in reality places believers in a more precarious position. Could this be another sign that secular society is moving further from God, Christ, and the Bible? We provide an insightf
Thought for September 9th. “HIS MERCY IS FOR THOSE WHO …”
What a depressing account we have today in 2 Kings 15! It lists a succession of godless kings in the northern kingdom of Israel and makes us think of the world in which we live! If we listen to or watch the news – there is a complete lack of good news on every hand – so it seems that people ‘bury’ their minds in the sports news. Similarly, in Ezekiel 5, we read the acted parables the prophet has
Thought for September 8th. “EXAMINE YOURSELVES … TEST YOURSELVES”
Today we completed reading Paul’s second letter to the believers at Corinth; he is still anxious about them, his letter expresses many concerns. Let us recognise that correcting faults in our life in Christ is a personal responsibility. The concept of endless ‘grace abounding’ that exists among many who see themselves as Christians is dangerous. Let us carefully note the points Paul makes as he
Thought for September 7th. “THE MEEKNESS AND GENTLENESS OF CHRIST”
Our world is full of distractions; these seem to increase every year! This is especially so for the young; at every twist and turn of daily life they encounter “voices” “words” and messages clamouring for their attention. These “voices” might come via iPads, mobile phones or whenever they turn on their Laptop. The words of Paul to the Corinthians we read today can be applied to the present situ
Thought for September 6th. “WHETHER THEY HEAR OR REFUSE TO HEAR”
Yesterday we started reading the intriguing prophecy of Ezekiel. He is in Babylon with those taken captive there before Jerusalem fell, along with King Jehoiachin. This is recorded in 2 Kings 24 v.12-15. It is in “the fifth year of the exile” [Ezek 1 v.2,3] that “the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel … and the hand of the LORD was upon him there.” It maybe he was sent by the LORD to join the exi
The Christadelphians:#21 'Why should i not be baptised?'

We explore the profound promises made to Abraham and David, and
Thought for September 5th. “BRINGING HOLINESS TO COMPLETION”
Following Christ is a journey – what a wonderful journey it should be! In today’s 3 chapters in 2nd Corinthians we see how Paul opens out more and more to them the wonder and challenges of this journey. We are reminded of Solomon’s ‘vision’ that “the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until …” [Prov. 4 v.18]! Yes, until the “full day” comes, wh
Thought for September 4th. “OUR INNER NATURE IS BEING RENEWED DAY BY DAY”
This statement by Paul in today’s readings [2 Cor. 4 v.16] really sums up what we aim to achieve by reading portions of God’s word every day. Of course this depends on the spirit with which we read. Many face the challenge each day of finding adequate time to read; and then have little or no time for meditation on what they have read. But it is important to make an effort to do this for it multi
Thought for September 3rd. “…HELP US BY PRAYER”
We started reading 2nd Corinthians today: the opening chapter needs to be read slowly, carefully, as Paul makes so many points. He shows the inter-reaction of events and the great value of prayers in all the difficulties they and he are experiencing. “For as we share abundantly in Christ’s suffering, so, through Christ, we share abundantly in comfort too.” [1 v.5] It is, writes Paul “the Father
thought for September 1st. “OF FIRST IMPORTANCE”
Possibly the most heart moving chapter for us in Scripture is today’s 15th chapter in 1st Corinthians – of course, that depends on how ‘alive’ our heart is! Paul writes on the absolute certainty that the resurrection of Christ really happened. It is the foundation of “the gospel in which you stand and by which you are being saved.”]v.1,2] He reminds these former idol-worshippers that “I deliver
Thought for August 30th. “NOW CONCERNING SPIRITUAL GIFTS …”
We now come to a special part of Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, these are chapters 12 to 14, and the first two are for today and they start, “Now concerning spiritual gifts ….” And Paul seeks to put their understanding of these gifts into a godly perspective. Paul first makes the point, “When you were pagans you were led astray…” [v.2] At that time they had experienced all kinds of trances and

From the ancient prophecies given to Judah and David, to Nebuchadnezzar’s magnificent dream and the powerful symbolism of the stone cut without hands, thi
Thought for August 29th. “NEVERTHELESS, IN THE LORD …”
Paul continues to identify the many things the believers in Corinth were failing to do properly. Human nature has always been inclined toward competition, the initial competition as to which of them would be the greatest among the disciples is an example of this [Luke 22 v.24], but after the resurrection this never happened, Peter could write of himself as simply being a “fellow elder” [1 Peter 5
Thought for August 28th. “COME TOGETHER, WEEPING AS THEY …”
Today’s readings convey a wide mixture of information and resultant thoughts. God removes Elijah, and Elisha takes up his role, his authority being confirmed by several miracles. Although Elijah is taken “up into heaven” – it is obviously not into heaven itself! It is not clear where he is taken – but a letter is later received from him – see 2 Chron. 21 v.12. Paul tells the Corinthians about th
Thought for August 27th. “NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH”
Our readings today all provoke interesting and, to some extent, complex thoughts – but that is good: for just as our bodies benefit from physical exercise, so do our minds – from mental exercise. The interaction between Jehoshaphat the God-fearing king of Judah and Ahab the weak king of Israel is very instructive. Jehoshaphat visits Ahab who invites him to join him in a war to recapture cities th

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 hav

The international outcry from Britain, France, Germany, and Italy over Jewish const
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

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.

Thought for August 23rd. ”DO YOU NOT KNOW”
We have 3 quite dramatic, but also quite diverse readings today. First the confrontation of Elijah with Ahab. It is clear God is in control and directing the course of events in the wayward northern kingdom, but there are still a few worthy left, at least 100, which Obadiah had hidden in a cave. God’s punishment on Ahab’s kingdom for its godlessness is a terrible drought.In Jeremiah we read tha
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

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 Jeru
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 h
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 ey

Thought for August 18th. “WHAT WONDERFUL BUILDINGS”
By the standards of 2,000 years ago Jerusalem’s Temple was outstanding, “what wonderful buildings” the disciples said to Jesus as they “came out of the Temple” [Mark 13 v.1]. How shocked they must have been at his reply, “Do you see these great buildings?
