Passive

When I write, I am forever being told by my grammer program that I write in the "passive voice". I assume it wants me to be more assertive! It may be right!, Tozer writes  "By moral action, we mean a voluntary response to the Christian message: not merely the acceptance of Christ as our personal Savior but a submission to the obligation implicit in the doctrine of the Lordship of Jesus. We must free ourselves from the inadequate concept of the gospel as being only 'good news,' and accept the total meaning of the Christian message centering in the cross of Christ. We must restore again to the church the idea that the offer of salvation by faith in Christ carries with it the condition that there must be also a surrender of the life to God in complete obedience. Anything less than this puts the whole thing in the passive voice.

Growth

Welcome Dear Reader.  It seems to my eye, that we within God's living Church run the risk of narrowing our view so much that any room for growth disappears! While we should seek to maintain our doctrine, to be so very specific that we refuse to listen to anything which may contradict it, I feel is self defeating. In our internet age, we are able to sift through the myriad church's which exist, all claiming to serving the same God, but proclaiming very differing theology. Once the initial sort has taken place, often people moved to fine detail, "last day's" being a common bugbear for many. Yet in this sifting, a question does not seem to be being asked!, Where would God have me serve? The church body exists to support fellow believers, but primarily to honour God and to give His bride, the church, opportunity to serve His will. Are we willing, God call me to where you desire me to serve you, rather than what I think benefits me? Are we willing to grow?

Judas

Dear Traveller, the book about the carpenter includes accounts of Jesus interaction with many people. Not least of these were the apostles, chosen specifically to usher in the Kingdom of God. Symbolically representing the twelve tribes, and resetting in people's minds what were the requirements for spiritual leadership. If we follow the accounts we find the ups and downs of these men, at times their behaviour is exceptional and their faith astounding, at others we find them terrified, boastful and small minded. They do however move from the latter behaviour to the former with increasing confidence, and once Jesus resurrection is at hand, they, empowered through Holy Spirit, move to announce the good news of the kingdom of God. Except for Judas. A man chosen to spend time with the living God betrays Jesus and fails to repent of his actions. Opportunity to move forward in the Kingdom of God is available to all, but a maxim of truth does occur, "Every person is exactly ...
