But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him (Acts 2:24). This turns the world’s way of thinking on its head. It’s the exact opposite of what the world says to us. The world tells us that people don’t […]
The stories of Jesus and John continue to be blended together. This blending together of John’s ligfe with Jesus’ life is, surely, a lesson for us and pattern for our lives. We must never forget that “our life is hid with Christ in God.” Our witness to this hidden (or inner) life must not, however, […]
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). The word, “enlightenment”, means different things to different people. To some people, it has to do with breaking free from God. For other people, it […]
Following His baptism, Jesus faces the devil. This is the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. It is, also, the pattern of His ministry: conflict with the devil. Jesus announced that He had come as the fulfilment of prophecy. There was immediate opposition from His enemies. This opposition was more than merely human: ‘The spirit of an […]
“Life cannot be dull if you live with God; there is too much to see and hear and enjoy. This is one of the things that a real conversion does for you. It opens your eyes to see the beauties around you in things and people and gives you so much sheer delight your heart […]
“When you begin to see the workmanship of God in your life, you too will say, behold it is very good.” These words from George take us on to Ephesians 2:10, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” When we read about our […]
“The Spirit of God brooded over that which was empty, formless and dark: the word of God was spoken, and the light dispelled the darkness.” This sentence lifts our minds beyond God’s work of creation. It leads our thoughts on to the work of God in our lives. Through the loving and powerful work of […]
George’s notes on Genesis 1:1 end with words of encouragement and words of challenge. “God is not dead! But you would think He was by the way we ignore Him. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom!” God is not dead! He’s the living God. What an encouragement there is in this. […]
In the introduction to his notes on Genesis 1, George Philip writes, “We seek, in every passage, a word from God for application to daily living.” This is more than an introduction to his notes on Genesis 1. It’s an important sentence, which serves as an introduction to all of George’s daily Bible reading notes. […]
There is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Corinthians 5:17). There’s a difference between life “under the sun” and life in the Son. It’s important that we understand this difference. Life under the sun: this is life, […]
