The Bible Standard - Discover the Truth. (By Christadelphianvideo.org)

“Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward,” major league pitcher Vernon Saunders Law observed. The test may not be enjoyable, but the important part is learning from the experience.

"FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE" March 18th   I remember searchlights as a boy. Beams of light would sweep across the sky from near where I lived. They were searching for enemy planes, if they found one they would lock on to it and the gunners would try to shoot it down. My wife Fran had gunners right near her house.  We were reminded of this by our reading of Psalm 139 today. "Oh L...

GOD'S PRINCIPLE  Mar 17 Today’s readings in Leviticus 25 are the words of the LORD about how the nation is to function when they settle into the promised land. First there are laws to see that they treat the land properly so that the soil continues to yield its increase. They were work the land for 6 years “but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbat...

"WHO INHABITS ETERNITY"  March 16 "Remember O LORD in David's favour, all the hardships he endured, how he swore to the LORD and vowed …" [Psalm 132:1-2] The prayer and petition in that Psalm has a very significant lesson for us. What particular thing did David vow to do that he should be remembered for? Was it some great thing? He did many great things starting with the killing of Goliath, n...

WHAT DO THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS REALLY MEAN TO ME?  March 15 "Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like" [Luke 6:47] There follows the story of a man carefully building a house and digging deep and finding a rock on which to base foundations. So when all was complete "a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it bec...

“BUT AT YOUR WORD I WILL …”      Mar 14 Who told Jesus to “Depart from me!” after he had witnessed a remarkable miracle?  It was Peter! He had said, although he was sceptical, he would do what Jesus had suggested! Now in our reading in Luke Ch. 5 today we see how Jesus used Peter’s boat as a preaching platform and “when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put...

"I WAS SENT FOR THIS PURPOSE"  Mar 13 The Apostle Paul told Timothy, “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners , of whom I am the foremost.” [1 Tim 1 v.15] That salvation was only possible through his sacrifice on the cross, a sacrifice that brought an end to all the sacrifices of animals and the use of their blood on the altar that we have been reading about in Leviticus. But that wa...

Bro Harry Tennant

Sacrifice is necessary following sin; sacrifice entails the shedding of blood. The death of Jesus was a sacrifice that does not need to be repeated; it took away the need for animal sacrifices and will take away our sins if we do what he asks of us.

“I REJOICE AT YOUR WORD”   Mar 12 Today we completed reading the 176 verses of Psalm 119.  What impressed us was how often the Psalmist stresses the value of knowing God’s word.   There is no point in reading God’s word if what we read has no effect on us.  We read today, “ The unfolding of your word gives light; it imparts understanding …”[v.130] and leads to the ple...

At Schools all over the world, children are taught, as fact, that the dinosaurs existed millions of years ago, yet there is overwhelming evidence to show that they were, in fact, contemporary with modern man, supporting the Bible view that life was only brought about on this planet around 6000 years ago. Matt Jamieson, Christadelphian, Author, public speaker, and supporter of a Biblical creation,...

The intensity of spiritual thought to be found in Psalm 119 invites our deepest reflection and meditation. The Psalmist is contemplating how the reality of his relationship with God penetrated all spheres of his life.  As we read this Psalm it impels us to treasure God’s word as the springboard of all our really worthwhile meditation.  “ How sweet are your words to my taste. Sweeter than...

Description:  The growing dominance of Russia is seen in her interest in countries to the south and her assuming the control of Crimea to ensure access to the sea. Historians identify the ancient names listed in Ezekiel of 38. Russia has developed military interests with Syria and Iran. Prophecy is clear that Russia will invade the restored Israel. WW3 will be underway  Watch the video v...

“SO KEEP MY CHARGE NEVER TO … “  Mar 10 Leviticus does not make pleasant reading, but there are many things in the Bible which make us feel uncomfortable – for our own good.  We could not fail to notice, in reading chapter 18, the parallel with much human behaviour these days.   The LORD tells Moses about his abhorrence of many of the ways of life in Egypt – and in leaving Egyp...

"WITH MY WHOLE HEART ... "  Mar. 9 Today we started reading Psalm 119. The longest ‘chapter’ in the Bible.  The phrase “whole” arrested our attention, it is in v.2,10 & 34 in today’s portion. The point comes across most powerfully that the real way to approach God is to do it with all our being, with total commitment of mind. Verse 2 says “Blessed are those who keep his testimonies w...

“UNCLEAN, UNCLEAN  Mar 8 Those suffering with leprosy in Bible times were expected to cry out “ Unclean, unclean” (Lev. 13 v.45) so that people would know not to touch him or her for fear of contagion. Today’s reading in Leviticus 15, might seem rather boring, but it has valuable lessons on cleanliness of which the world was ignorant until about 200 years ago. The word ‘Leprosy’ in Leviticus...

"OF THEIR OWN FREEWILL"  Mar 7 Paul’s letters to the Corinthians are the most detailed and intimate of all that he wrote to places he had visited. It is evident as we read chapters 8 & 9 of his 2nd letter that he has built up a close relationship and understanding with them. He tells them of the believers in Macedonia, of which Philippi and Thessalonica are principal cities and their “rea...

5 Part study series looking at the tabernacle and David's dealings with it.

The Bible promises eternal life in God’s kingdom to faithful followers. This was the joy set before Christ that he might endure the cross, despising the shame, and is set down on the right hand in the throne of God.

"RENEWED DAY BY DAY ... "  Mar 5 How essential it is that we are renewed day by day.  Just as our body needs physical food – so does our mind.   This is one of the points in Paul’s 2ndletter to the Corinthians.  His life is under a lot of stress, far more than others. He says, “we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair , persecute...

Description: Though Israel continues to experience escalating threats to their existence, fulfilled promises and prophecies demonstrate Israel is God’s witness. Israel will not be annihilated and in the future will be elevated to the head of the nations. By belief and sharing of the Abrahamic promises all peoples can become involved in God’s plan for the world.

Description: There is no better place to start talking about forgiveness than in the Psalms. This talk shows us that what we learn from David’s example is how necessary it is to seek forgiveness from God and to be truly repentant
