Philippians 3:12-14:
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. NKJV.
Last night, I made reference to Winston’s Churchill’s ‘Finest Hour' speech and I shall refer to it again tonight. For within that most magnificent of speeches, lies another admonition of vital importance for the remnant of local churches and mission organisations of the present day.
In his speech, Churchill, whilst touching on an explanation as to why only three British Divisions were left to stand with the then ...

Hosea 14:1, 2a:
O Israel, return to the Lord your God, For you have stumbled because of your iniquity; Take words with you, and return to the Lord
Last night we went out for a meal with friends. As is our custom in the United Kingdom, we appeared hungry on their doorstep clutching a gift and last night, the gift was wine. On other occasions it might be flowers or even a chocolates, no matter really, for the purpose of these gifts is not really to contribute to the meal, no, as these gifts, almost always received with smiles and ‘Aaah, thank you so ...

Isaiah 35:4-6:
Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.KJV.
I presently live on the border of East Sussex and the county of Kent and my part of South Tunbridge Wells is riddled with well established and beautiful ‘Cut Throughs’ and ‘Short Cuts’ between all the walls and hedges, fences and houses.

2 Corinthians 12:1-8:
It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago — whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows
such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man — whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows — how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities. For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. ...

Proverbs 29:18a KJV:
Where there is no vision, the people perish:
So she looks at me and says "I'm sorry the ticket is for a flight next week at this time, not today." Now this was the second time in two months this had happened to me. I booked over the internet, checked the documents thoroughly only to find now that something vital to the journey was incorrect. THE DATE! I didn't trust the electronic booking system and these mistakes were becoming expensive. So, another $100 ...
