Is this true!

In South Korea, the sea opens twice a year for just 1 hour. This is the miracle of Jindo, when thousands of people cross the sea on foot. In South Korea, a special tidal phenomenon causes the sea to open twice a year, allowing free passage between Jingo and Modo islands for a short period of time.

This is simply amazing!

Prayer and your RAS

Tue, 20 May 2025

‘The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.’ James 5:16

To understand how prayer is powerful and effective, look at it from a neurological perspective. At the base of our brain lies a cluster of nerves called the reticular activating system (RAS), which monitors our environment. We are constantly bombarded with countless stimuli vying for our attention, and it is the job of the RAS to determine what gets noticed and what goes unnoticed. For example, you download a new ringtone for your mobile phone. You’re sure that you’ve never heard it before. But after downloading it, it seems like everybody else has the same ringtone. It’s not that lots of people went out and downloaded it when you did. It’s the simple fact that when you downloaded that ringtone, it created a category in your RAS. That ringtone went unnoticed by you before you downloaded it because it wasn’t important to you. Once you downloaded the ringtone, the RAS recognised it as relevant.

Prayer works that way. When you pray for someone or something, it creates a category in your reticular activating system. And now you notice everything related to those prayers. A pastor writes: ‘Have you ever noticed that when you pray, coincidences happen? And when you don’t, they don’t? It’s more than coincidence, it’s providence. Prayer creates divine opportunities. But prayer also sanctifies the reticular activating system and enables us to see the God-ordained opportunities that are all around us all the time. And once we see them, we have to activate our faith and seize them.’ Prayer is the portal to God’s kingdom and through which His blessings flow to us. So, pray each day.

God heal him IJN 🙏.

Great leaders refuse to take credit

Mon, 19 May 2025

‘Honour one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal,’ Romans 12:10-11

A leadership expert says: ‘Most leaders focus on two things: the vision and the bottom line. The vision is what usually excites us most, and taking care of the bottom line keeps us in business. But between the vision and the bottom line are all the people in your organisation … If you ignore the people and only pay attention to these other two things, you will lose the people and the vision (and probably the bottom line). But if you focus on the people, you have the potential to win the people, the vision, and the bottom line.’

Interestingly, the Bible puts these two things together: ‘… Honour one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, …’ (Romans 12:10-11 NIV). When business consultant Jim Collins studied great companies, he discovered ‘level five leaders’. He says these leaders refused to take credit for their organisation’s accomplishments. Instead, they humbly gave credit to their employees. Numerous leaders say they value their people and customers. That’s a popular thing to say, and anyone can say it. But if you want to find out whether this is a value your organisation actually holds, chat with people who know your organisation well but aren’t employed by you. What do they say? Their answers will show you the most accurate picture. Since you know your own heart better than anyone else, it all starts with you. Ask yourself, ‘Do I place a high value on people?’ If you do, it will show up in how you treat them. If you treat them right, God will bless your efforts. And the Bible says, ‘The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it’ (Proverbs 10:22 NKJV).

Good news for all

The kids are watching you (2)

‘He who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.’ Proverbs 23:24

If you’re a parent, you want your children to turn out well, and the best way to do that is by modelling proper behaviour at home by being imitators of God (see Ephesians 5:1). Learn to say no. American author Susan Alexander Yates says: ‘There are simply too many demands … choices, and too little time. Maturity means learning to postpone something you’d really like to do now … to focus on something even more important. Maybe it’s that career opportunity so you can have more time with your children, or that outing with your friends so you’re around when your teens have their friends at your house. Maybe you need to say ‘no’ to your kids being in yet another sports team so your family can have dinner together.

Ask yourself, in 10 years, what will matter most—that you signed your child up for yet another activity and spent evenings apart, or said ‘no’ and had family dinners together? Or that you participated in … another committee, or said ‘no’ so you could spend more time with your husband? Pursue Christ with fresh vigour … I pray King David’s prayer: “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me” (Psalm 51:12 NIV). Resolve to recapture that joy. Vary … your time alone with God. Decide on a new topic for Bible study. Begin a fresh journal … If you … still feel stale, ask God to show you the reason. Is there sin in your life you’re ignoring? A wrong relationship, self-pity, jealousy?’ The Bible says, ‘… let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, …’ (Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV). Always be aware that the kids are watching you.

‘Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.’ Ephesians 5:1

American author Susan Alexander Yates offers us scriptural guidelines for influencing our kids. (If you’re not a parent, why not use these points to help you have a positive influence on the children in your family or community.)

1) Reach out to non-Christians. If you want kids to grow in faith, expose them to people who need faith. God called us to be ‘salt and light’ (see Matthew 5:13-16), but that won’t happen if you spend all your free time with fellow believers. Plus, kids are more likely to reach out to others when they see faith modelled at home. Befriend someone who is not a believer, like a neighbour, a co-worker, a teacher or coach, or your hairstylist. Reaching out can feel scary, but when you risk it, God will work through you in exciting ways. 2) Model gratitude. No one enjoys a whiny kid, including God. And when we appreciate Him, it delights His heart. Children learn from their parents. They pick up on your attitude. Your mood fills the atmosphere of your home, and if you whine, they’re more likely to complain. When you dwell on the negative, they learn to focus on what’s lacking. 3) Make time for your spouse. We get busy with kids, jobs, and church activities, and we think we will spend time with our spouse when things calm down. The problem is—they never do. Don’t let the weeds of so-called important things choke your relationship. Nurture it; look for ways to bring you and your spouse closer. Start with a weekly date. Your kids’ security is based on knowing you love them, and it soars when they know you love each other! The Bible says, ‘… he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him’ (Proverbs 23:24 ESV). You’re raising the next generation, and they need to know a happy marriage takes time and effort.

Be true to the Scriptures

Fri, 16 May 2025

‘If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.’ Isaiah 8:20

The Bible is the inspired and the infallible Word of God. Proverbs 30:6 warns us, ‘Do not add to His words Or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar’ (NASB20). Think about it: who told the first lie ever recorded? Satan. In the garden of Eden, he convinced Eve it was okay to eat the forbidden fruit, and that God didn’t really mean what He said. And he is still peddling the same old lie! You hear it in comments like these:

1) ‘You can interpret the Bible many different ways.’ That sounds reasonable until you read this: ‘But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture becomes a matter of someone's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God’ (2 Peter 1:20-21 NASB20). Isaiah said, ‘… If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them’ (Isaiah 8:20 NKJV). Two and two must make four; otherwise, we’re all open to each other’s interpretations and value judgements—and somebody is going to get the short end of the stick. 2) ‘It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you’re sincere.’ What if you’re sincerely wrong? If a doctor prescribes the wrong medication, it could kill you rather than cure you. 3) ‘Rather than offend someone, you should say nothing.’ If that person’s house were on fire, wouldn’t you warn them in order to save their life? Before He was betrayed, Jesus said, ‘All ye shall be offended because of me this night’ (Mark 14:27 KJV). The truth hurts, but it heals, so let’s be true to the Scriptures.

It's good. But it should be made optional. If you are buoyant enough, you can make your payments yearly, then follow by quarterly then monthly. Whatever suits you.

‘Forgive them’ and delete the offence

Thu, 15 May 2025

‘Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.’ Luke 23:34

Some societies in history punished those who committed adultery by making them wear a big scarlet letter A, publicly identifying with their behaviour. And if you were caught stealing, they made you drag a ball and chain around. Maybe you’re thinking, ‘Well, they deserved it.’ Really? Jesus said if you simply lust after someone, you have committed adultery in your heart (see Matthew 5:28). Then He went on to say the standard of judgement you impose on others is the same standard you will be judged by (see Matthew 7:1-2). God is not soft on sin; notice two things:

1) He won’t just overlook your sin. ‘Because the Lord disciplines the one He loves, …’ (Hebrews 12:6 NIV). 2) He won’t turn His back on you. Nothing can separate us from the love of God (see Romans 8:38-39). We don’t use scarlet letters or balls and chains today, but we use computers. So, when someone hurts you, God says we must forgive them and delete it! Otherwise, it will influence the way we think, act, and talk. Plus, it will keep us tied to old, painful memories. ‘But forgiving them is hard,’ you say. That’s why Jesus said to pray for those who mistreat you (see Matthew 5:44). Forgiving someone begins with praying for them. You say, ‘But I need to understand why they did it.’ Wise people do foolish stuff, good people do bad stuff, and misguided people don’t know what they’re doing. Jesus prayed for those who crucified Him, ‘Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.’ Someday you may understand what motivated your offender. But even if you don’t, forgive them and delete the offence from your mind.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Good luck Fred.

Put God between yourself and the foe

Wed, 14 May 2025

‘LORD, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty.’ 2 Chronicles 14:11

Faced with an enemy he couldn’t conquer on his own, King Asa prayed, ‘... “Lord, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this vast army. Lord, you are our God; do not let mere mortals prevail against you.” The Lord struck down the Cushites before Asa and Judah. …’ (2 Chronicles 14:11-12 NIV).

English Baptist pastor Frederick Brotherton (F.B) Meyer wrote: ‘Remind God of his entire responsibility. “There is none like thee to help.” The odds against Asa were enormous. There were a million men in arms … beside three hundred chariots. It seemed impossible to hold his own against that vast multitude. There were no allies who would come to his help: his only hope therefore was in God. There was none beside to help. It may be that your difficulties have been allowed to come to so alarming a pitch that you may be compelled to renounce all creature aid, to which in lesser trials you have had recourse, and cast yourself back on your Almighty friend. Put God between yourself and the foe. To Asa’s faith, Jehovah seemed to stand between the might of Zerah and himself, as one who had no strength. Nor was he mistaken … the Ethiopians were destroyed before the Lord, and before His host, as though celestial combatants flung themselves against the foe on Israel’s behalf. Our God is Jehovah of Hosts, who can summon unexpected reinforcements at any moment to the aid of his people. Believe that he is there between you and your difficulty, and what baffles you will flee before him as clouds before the gale.’
