Strong and Courageous #6. “Lord, save me!”
In Peter’s mind, sinking into the waves of a stormy sea was cause enough to cry out in fear, “Lord, save me!” (Matthew 14:30). Though Jesus graciously hoisted the dreading drenched disciple from the sea, he did not stop to console him. Instead, he sharply rebuked Peter for his faithlessness. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” (Matthew 14:31). The Twenty-first Century mind would tend to take the sting out of Jesus’ words. Rather, a kinder tone…
Strong and Courageous #5. “In the face of Division.”
Sometimes it is just too obvious when prayer has become a casualty in an unspiritual war. In witnessing this James scolds his readers accursedly: “You want something, but you don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God” (James 4:2). James couldn’t have been stronger in his rebuke of these Christians who, though harbouring hate in their hearts, accused God of…
Strong and Courageous #4. “Beyond human ability.”
All of us can recount times when we have been backward in coming forward with our faith. We may never have outright denied Jesus, but we may have remained silent when we should have spoken. The apostle Peter knew what it was like to lose courage. Even though Jesus had warned him that Satan was going to test his faith as if “sifting wheat” (Luke 22:31-33), he infamously denied him three times. All strength would have drained from his system…
Strong and Courageous #3. “The intelligent Christian.”
In Jesus’ Parable of The Shrewd Manager, he presents a dishonest manager who through deft and cunning sought to secure a financial future for himself beyond his pending dismissal (Luke 16). Not being the kind of man who ‘lets life happen to him,’ he quickly assesses his options: “What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg” (Luke 16:3). It is, of course,…

Strong and Courageous #2. “We must obey God rather than men.”
The mere mention of a preacher having run afoul of the law is enough to turn some people off. They automatically add them to the list of high-profile Televangelists who indulged their lusts with other people’s money, booze, and women. There is no doubt that this goes on, but to suggest that every evangelist who has ever been arrested is of that ilk, is to degrade those brave souls. Many good people have been arrested and killed for their faith…
Strong and Courageous #1. “To fulfil His purposes.”
If there was a man in Biblical history who did not need to be told to be Strong and Courageous it was Joshua son of Nun. He and Caleb famously rejected the faithlessness of the other 10 spies and stood up against the rebellion of the people. They told Israel, “ “If the Lord is pleased with us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us…do not rebel against the Lord…do not fear the people…
Name above all names #12. “Jesus, name above all names!”
A new brother in the Lord returned home to his parents to let them know that he had been baptised into Christ. The reaction of his father showed that the news had somehow preceded him. Before he could say a word, his father said, “I have my own faith and I don’t want you to try to make me believe yours.” When repeating the story to me he said, “If my father ever had a faith in Jesus, that was…
Series: Name above all names #11. “Place of worship for God’s name.”
If you entered the Rochester Cathedral in 2019 you would have been greeted by a nine-hole mini-golf course. Of course, the use of the 1000-year-old English church building as a play area was not without controversy—some called it sacrilege. A similar sentiment was expressed recently over the commercialisation of the Sumela Monastery in Turkey. This impressive stone structure was carved out of a rockface by monks in 386AD. Though disestablished in 1923, and now in ruins, it is being restored…
