When Prayers Aren't Answered

by Dale Harcombe

16 May 2011 03:31 PM

The bible tells us 'you do not have because you do not ask,' James 4:2. But what about hen we have asked and still don't see an answer? That has been my experience recently as I have battled with excruciating back pain over a number of weeks and it is still here.

Can You Be a Christian and Not Go to Church?

by Dale Harcombe

Can you be a Christian and not go to church? It is something I have been thinking about, because I have not been to church for three weeks. However, in my defense I can say it is not by choice. The sprit is willing. Unfortunately the body is not. And I miss it.

How Open Are You?

Supposing you were being interviewed, what would your answers reveal about you? What would they reveal about your Christian life? Would they reveal anything at all? Would you make it public knowledge or try and keep it a secret, and be a secret disciple like Joseph of Arimathea was for a time.

Short and Long Term Goals

When a team takes the field for a game of footy they are playing with a goal in mind. The short term goal is to play the best they can and win the game. The long term goal is at the end of the season to hold up the premiership cup for their club.

Continuing on with my theme from last week's blog about an apt illustration, here are some more lessons that apply to footy as well as to the Christian life. Most important for any football team is that they listen to the coach and listen to their captain.

An Apt Illustration

Sometimes God uses interesting ways to illustrate His Word and the point He is making. Last week we'd heard a sermon about the importance of keeping on in the Christian faith and not coasting along or resting on your laurels and thinking you'd done enough.

Take the Time

How many times have you said to someone 'I'll pray about that' and forgotten to do so. Or you've been too busy at the time and think you'll do it later. Somehow later never comes around. Perhaps someone at church or a friend or family member has asked you to do something and you promise you will.

Meeting Others

'Meeting someone for the first time is like going on a treasure hunt. What wonderful worlds we can find in others!' Edward E. Ford.

Good Reason to Take Notice

by Dale Harcombe

When God gives commands there is a good reason for them. Yet how easily people ignore God and what He has said and instructed. God through Moses gave Israel statutes and commands before they entered the Promised Land. He gave them these instructions, so they would know how to live in the land.

Appalled at Behavior

by Dale Harcombe

03 Mar 2011 02:32 PM

I admit sometimes I am appalled at the behavior of other Christians. In particular I feel strongly about people who are so intent on getting their point of view across that they think their right to speech overrides sensitivity, tact and the pain of other people.
