Genesis 22:12:
“Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
Bible reading can just get so monotonous and boring can’t it? Don’t get me wrong, I have found it to be the most exciting book in the world and believe it to be the very Word of God. However, some days and they are far too frequent, it’s just another tick in my box of important spiritual exercises to complete. The Bible often becomes as dry and as palatable as old toast! What’s the problem here? Well maybe Tozer in his book ‘The Pursuit of God’ puts his finger right on it, again! This is what he says “The modern Scientist has lost God amidst the wonders of His world; we

Faith – The Old Battle Ground & The Muzzling of The Lion
Today in 2008, Former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was introduced by former President of the U.S.A., Bill Clinton, to the waiting press and gathered multi-faith communities in New York, where he announced his new ‘Tony Blair Faith Foundation.’ In Cliff Richard style, he declared that extremists from all religions should not sing all the good tunes and so went on to say that, ‘Faith is the New Battleground.’
In 2008, Blair’s New Faith Foundation advisory board, consisted of the dynamic duo of

Psalms 1:1-2:
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. NKJV
Listening Obedience
Our text for tonight talks about delight. The Godly person’s DELIGHT being in the law of God. On first look at this word, it looks as though we should have a consistent and wide eyed, Christmas present expectancy when approaching the reading of the Word of God. Every time we approach it, we with smiling glee rub our hands and say “Oooh Daddy, is it a present?” Or once the black and leather bound calf skin weight is opened, it turns into a box of shining, chocolate covered,

1 Kings 8:17:
Then it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, “Is that you, O troubler of Israel?”
High above the Vienne River stands the remains of the fortified castle of Chinon. A few years ago, I stood on the supposed exact spot where Joan of Arc picked out Charles VII, the French Dauphin (heir to the throne and whom Joan had never seen before) who was hidden by disguise within the French Royal Court to test her famed mystical acumen.
The English, who for years laid claim to the territories of France, had once again invaded that fair land and were now, via the Duke of Salisbury, laying siege to Orleons, the last stronghold before the fall of the Dauphin's remaining territory. Joan, at Chinon, having picked out

Ecclesiastes 7:2:
Better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for that is the end of all men; and the living will take it to heart. NKJV
The Problem of Promethius and The Preparation For Death
Pastors who imitate the preaching and the moral action of the prophets without also imitating the prophets’ deep praying and worship so evident in the Psalms are an embarrassment to the faith and an encumbrance to the church. (Eugene Peterson – Working The Angles: The Shape of Pastoral Integrity)
I neither want to be an embarrassment nor an encumbrance, but I am afraid, that my natural tendency is to be so, for I have seen what Promethean fire and its resultant adrenalin led activity can do in rasing the
