TRUSTING OUR UNSEEN GOD (Part 1)

(October 21, 2025) Robert and Maureen McQuillan share a vital challenge…

So many scriptural verses mean so much! But, I wonder, what’s one with certain four words to really understand? Hmm?

Once when guest preaching I (Robert) had arranged with a lady church member, Amber, to come up and enthusiastically share with everyone especially himself what the Lord had put on her heart for the coming year. But then he nodded but responded with a casual, mocking ‘Huh, huh, really’ and whispered something in her ear. And here he tells that—

TRUSTING OUR UNSEEN GOD (Part 2)

(October 22, 2025) Robert and Maureen McQuillan conclude this challenging encouragement…

In part 1 we highlighted four deceptive words of that great liar the devil and how important it is to know that he’s still around challenging God’s word. And that we trust our unseen God. Below we share six other points.

7. Trusting God’s Comforting
We’ll soon be celebrating Christmas… the birth of our Saviour, not just Santa Claus fun(!): Next is the most important event in the Christian calendar— Easter! The death and amazing resurrection of Jesus Christ the Son of God as became our Saviour at Calvary because God loves us (John 3:16-17).

RESPONSIBLE REPETITION

(October 16, 2025) Brian Bell shares about repeating oneself…

Question: Ever been told you talk too much?

A few decades ago, I was told that I tended to repeat myself… no, not by my wife, Eveline (she who says that I am ‘the quiet man’!’).

But seriously, did you know that Psalm 107 is a chapter of repetition? I was taught that when scripture repeats a matter it’s emphasising a matter of real importance. So, I trust that you too sense that God is saying very important to our hearts here.

CHURCH HYPOCRITES?

(October 14, 2025) Dr Richard Winter sincerely and deeply challenges…

Question: Why don’t people like coming to church?

a) Implication
Some of the reasons may be—

  • I once came to church and was hurt by the church.
  • They only want my money.
  • I don’t like organised religion; too many rules.

But the big answer to this question seems to be— There are too many hypocrites in church.

Just a side note before we delve deeper… Hypocrites are mentioned 12 times in Matthew. Jesus spoke about them to His disciples, so if this was important to Jesus it has to be important to us!

IRANIAN EVANGELIST AND ORTHODOX JEW HELP REAP HARVEST

(October 11, 2025) GodReports’ Charles Gardner shares good news…

Peace-loving representatives of two nations who have recently been at war with each other have teamed up in a remarkable way that bodes for future reconciliation.

Marziyeh Amarizadeh, an Iranian evangelist now based in America, has joined Orthodox Jew Jonathan Feldstein in a bid to bless Israel both economically and spiritually in the wake of the October 7, 2023, massacre that sparked the Gaza War.

PEACE WE CRAVE IS FOUND IN THE WISDOM OF PROVERBS

(October 10, 2025) Mama Lava shares from her heart regarding Proverbs…

Finally! Saturday arrived and I sat at Starbucks with a drink I’d been craving. I settled in and opened the Bible app on my phone. It was October 1, and I headed to Proverbs 1.

It has been a long-time habit to read a Proverb a day. Proverbs has 31 chapters, which makes it the perfect length. And because it is a book of incredible wisdom, I can’t imagine ever reading it enough times to master or tire of it.

Finding Perspective
I typically read from my NIV Bible… but my Bible app opened in the NLT, which is very similar, but just different enough to intrigue me. The familiar verses pulled me in with slightly different wording and made me think about them with fresh perspective.

LOVED WITH EVERLASTING LOVE!

(October 09, 2025) Norman and Margaret Moss share another encouraging meditation…

Margaret and I grew up with rationing. Ration books were first issued in 1940 in the UK and continued till 1954. So in our teenage years everything was in short supply and strictly rationed.

The ration did not mean you had plenty. It was the bare minimum!

GUARDIANSHIP — SEVEN SECRETS OF YOUR BLESSED FUTURE

(October 08, 2025) Angeline Selvakumari shares solidly from many scriptures…

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I trust and hope you are doing well by God’s grace. Some of us may not feel at our best right now, but reading this important article is an encouraging  step of faith. Remember— God is still in control. It is not over until He says it is over.

For the past few weeks, the phrase ‘Guard yourself’ has been constantly on my heart. I began to study and reflect on it, and I would like to share some of those thoughts with you.

The Bible teaches us to guard ourselves. To guard means to protect, to be alert, cautious, and aware of what is happening around us. Let us look at a few important areas where we must guard ourselves.

WE NEED THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

(October 06, 2025) Carol Round encourages us to share our testimony when led by the Holy Spirit’s power…

Acts 1:8GNT tells us that ‘… when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’

I never thought I’d be sharing the gospel message in Wal-Mart! The timing was right, but I couldn’t do it in my own power.
