Spiritual show-offs

Sad to say that within Christian circles we can find a sort of spiritual elitism. There are some who claim to be just that better, just that more spiritual, just that more in tune with the heartbeat of God.

The Judas mystery

Judas is one of the Bible’s baddies. No-one has a good word for him. And yet his admittedly evil deeds provoke some curiosity from us. We read in the gospels that Jesus has prayed for Peter that he not succumb to Satanic temptation. Did he also pray for Judas?

Amazing Grace

Common sense tells us that we are far too imperfect to meet the standards of a perfect God. Grace tells us that all is right with God despite how much in us is all wrong.

If we are honest, many of us feel like the psalmist in the opening verses of our passage. Where is God? What is he doing? Has he turned against me? One thing we learn from such a passage is that it is normal and natural and right to express our grievances to God.
