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

Once again God’s words through Isaiah attracted our thoughts.  There are so many parallels today with the attitudes the LORD was seeking to counteract in Israel in the time of Isaiah.  The message the prophet was to convey was, “For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, ‘In returning  (or repentance, mg ) and rest you shall be saved;  in quietness and in trust  shall be your strength.’ B...

How many can read the Bible – as a whole – and really make sense of it, so that it speaks to them in their heart, and stirs them to live their lives really conscious of God and of his Son?  This question came to mind as we pondered the message in Isaiah today – parts of it evidently a commentary on the attitudes of many in the prophets’ day, many had failed to develop a real ‘living’ relationship...

Today we read the well known 11th chapter of Hebrews, it starts, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”  This is the vital lesson we must take to heart in reading this chapter – that having faith is having a state of mind that must cause us to lead different lives, different priorities – to have different aims. We live our lives in service to our Savio...

Our Isaiah and Hebrews readings provide an abundance of thoughts today.  Some verses encourage peace of mind, others a sense of awe at what is coming on the world – the judgements our godless world deserves.  Ch. 26 in Isaiah is a grouping of quite contrasting revelations from God – verses 3 and 4 are worthy of being memorised.  “You will keep him (her) in  perfect peace  whose mind is stayed on y...

A @Christadelphians Video: [Inspiring] **Ai Summary** – Thought-provoking, insightful, and wonderfully expositional, this outstanding episode of *The Bible Standard* reveals why humility is essential when wrestling with Scripture’s most puzzling passages. We, as Christadelphians, explore the strange case of King Saul’s age—does the Hebrew really say he was one year old?—and the textual twists behi...

A Christadelphian Video:In this interview, Justin Reich talks about how he came into the Truth, having not been brought up as a Christadelphian. Having been encouraged to come along to Christadelphian events by his aunt and uncle, Justin highlights the need for good influences, and the importance of perceiving what the Word of God has to offer, in contrast to the world. Justin’s experiences demons...

Let us link up the closing words of our reading in Hebrews (ch.9) “Christ … will appear a second time …  to save those who   are eagerly waiting for him” with the words God gave to Isaiah, in today’s ch. 25, which we referred to yesterday.  This describes the time when God “will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will t...

Today’s and tomorrow’s chapters in Isaiah (24 & 25) contain a powerful message about the climax of human history, yet they are not very often quoted.   Chapter 24 ends with “for the LORD of hosts reigns on Mount Zion and Jerusalem and his glory will be before his elders.”   The next chapter begins with the reaction of the righteous, “O LORD, you are my God, I will exalt your name for you have...

We continue reading the challenging chapters of the letter to the Hebrews. It was obviously written in the final years the Temple existed in Jerusalem before it was destroyed in AD70. Those who made the Temple and the Mosaic Law a highly important part of their lives and expectations, although accepting Jesus as their Messiah, were going to be devastated when the Temple was destroyed. Paul, whom i...

Today’s readings.. (Joshua 16), (Isaiah 22), (Hebrews 1,2)  Today we began reading the specially thought-provoking letter to the Hebrews.  The author is not named, but the best conclusion is that Paul wrote it as a message to his fellow Jews and he didn’t name himself because a prejudice against him had developed and some, maybe many Jews, would have ignored the letter if it had been obvious it ca...

Today’s readings.. (Joshua 15), (Isaiah 20,21), (Philemon) The short letter of Paul to Philemon has some valuable lessons for us in the area of spiritual relationships of believers with one another.  Paul is writing as “a prisoner of Christ Jesus” [v.1] and Timothy is with him – and other visitors support him, “Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke” [v.24]. He tells Philemon, “ I remember you in my pr...

Today’s readings.. (Joshua 14), (Isaiah 19), (Titus 1,2,3) In Joshua ch. 14 today we read of the blessings received by a man who “ wholly followed the LORD .”  Caleb was the other man, who with Joshua, spied out the land and brought back an optimistic report; this was after the people had miraculously escaped from Egypt, been fed in the wilderness, built the tabernacle and received the law. Surely...

Today’s readings.. (Joshua 13), (Isaiah 17,18), (2 Timothy 3,4)  Today we completed Paul’s 2nd letter to his “son in the faith” Timothy. He deplores what he sees the future is going to hold for believers; a serious decline of faith and a Christ-like way of living.  As Paul looks into the future  “the Spirit” gives him a ‘picture’ of what is going to develop in “the last days.” [3 v.1]   Paul of co...

Today’s readings.. (Joshua 12), (Isaiah 16), (2 Timothy 2) We continue with our reading and reflections on the final epistle that Paul wrote: our chapter (2) begins with his encouragement to Timothy, “my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ …” He encourages him to “share in the suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” [v.3] Paul is “bound with chains as a criminal”, but says,...

Today’s readings.. (Joshua 11), (Isaiah 15), (2 Timothy 1) The final letter of the Apostle Paul was his second letter to Timothy.  His opening verses after his usual greeting is to write of Timothy’s faith.  Note how he expresses it, “I am reminded of  your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt  first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.” [Ch.1 v.5...

Today’s readings.. (Joshua 10, (Isaiah 14), (1 Timothy 6) It is evident that when Paul wrote his first letter to Timothy whom he had left “at Ephesus that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine …” [ch.1 v.3,] that already there were those who were trying, using their own ‘wisdom’, to ‘improve’ on the true teaching they had received.  In today’s ch. 6, Paul tells Timothy...

Today’s readings.. (Joshua 9), (Isaiah 13), (1 Timothy 4,5) Isaiah ch. 13, todays’ reading, appears to have a double application: it tells us [v.1] it is an “oracle concerning Babylon,” but much of its content is remarkably parallel to the ‘Babylon’ described in the book of Revelation.  It is enlightening to note that the word ‘Babylon’ in the Hebrew is actually ‘Babel’; part of this chapter appea...

Today’s readings.. (Joshua 8), (Isaiah 12), (1 Timothy 1-3) We usually have a reasonable idea of what we are going to talk about as today progresses, also some of the things that are likely to be part of our thoughts and conversations tomorrow – but it is invaluable to meditate on what the 6 verses that make up the entire 12th chapter of Isaiah told Israel and tells us of what “ you will say on th...

Today, more than ever before, we live in a herd environment, a human herd.  Mass advertising in a great variety of media confronts us hour after hour, this creates a herd mentality. We reflected on this as we read Paul’s words this morning.  He told the Thessalonians that we “give you in ourselves  an example to imitate .” [2 Thess. 3 v.9]  What do we imitate? What or who do we take as our example...
