Blasphemy
by Finley Hirst on September 6th, 2024
"You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name".Exodus 20:7Blasphemy! Not a word we hear or use very often anymore. For the older migrant families among us, maybe something you would hear your grandparents say. But for most, you probably only heard it in the movies. What does it mean to misuse the name of God?Well, firstly, we ... Read More

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.Psalm 19:1-4We live in a beautiful part of the world. Every time I walk down to t... Read More

Q. 44. What does the preface to the ten commandments teach us?A. The preface to the ten commandments teaches us, that because God is the Lord, and our God, and Redeemer, therefore we are bound to keep all his commandments.Westminster Shorter CatechismWhy do we listen to God? I mean it’s not a question we always ask. Why should we follow God’s commands? The Catechism uses the language of ‘bound’. B... Read More

For lack of discipline they will die,  led astray by their own great folly.Proverbs 5:23 Over the past/next few Wednesdays, in keeping with our Wisdom Wednesday theme, I’m going to explore the idea of ‘Making Godly Decisions’. My experience is that many Christians desire to honour God with their lives but sometimes don’t know how.The funny thing is. I reckon a lot of the time. People do know wha... Read More

4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me a...

What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?Mark 8:36It’s time to finish what we started in Mark’s gospel. Jesus (in the verses preceding this one) has just told His followers that to be His disciple you must take up your cross. To deny your sinful and worldly desires and live for Jesus’ desires instead.But why would you do such a thing? Jesus reminds us of the stak... Read More

 Therefore, you kings, be wise;      be warned, you rulers of the earth.    Serve the LORD with fears      and celebrate his rule with trembling.   Kiss his son, or he will be angry      and your way will lead to your destruction,      for his wrath can flare up in a moment.      Blessed are all who take refuge in him. Psalm 2:10–12.Buddy Jesus is the image that comes to ...

Q. 43. What is the preface to the ten commandments?A. The preface to the ten commandments is in these words, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.Westminster Shorter CatechismWhat right does God have to command?

Plans fail for lack of counsel,but with many advisers they succeed.Proverbs 5:23 Over the past/next few Wednesdays, in keeping with our Wisdom Wednesday theme, I’m going to explore the idea of ‘Making Godly Decisions’.One of my greatest weaknesses is that I’m a bit of a lone ranger. I’m not very good at asking for help or advice. Which would be fine if I knew everything (obviously I don’t). To be ... Read More
