Every time I would think about God and His goodness or someone would talk about what God was doing or even mention the name of Jesus, I would begin crying. I was falling in love with the Holy Spirit. Beni Johnson

Today’s Bike Ride
A cold but sunny morning. A great ride to the Radio Telescope.
Today’s Sermon
Quote for the Day
In this time of stirring, I felt Him speak to me a word that would change my life. I heard these words, “I want you to carry joy and intercession.” My first thought was, “Is that possible?” I still only saw intercession as a depressed way of living. Beni Johnson
Today’s Bike Ride
Bitterly cold this morning with minimum of 2 deg. C and cloudy. Not a bad ride though.
Quote for the Day
As I got older, I remember thinking, “I do not want to be an intercessor.” I had grown up thinking that, if you were an intercessor, you had to carry heavy burdens around all the time because that was all that I had seen. I did not know that it was possible for intercessors to be happy. I had a lot to learn. Beni Johnson
Australian Election Christian Values Check List
This is a scary picture of how far to the left the Australian mainstream political parties have shifted.

Reflection on 1 Timothy 5:1-8
Scripture
Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers. Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters.
Reflection
Dearly beloved children, the church is my family and your family. You live in a world with no conception of genuine family relationships. You must learn to sincerely love one another.
Those who are older you must treat as you would your own mother and father. I tell you, my beloved, that you can learn this relational way of being from me for I am your father.
Let all your relationships be marked by my love, agape love. Those who are older deserve your respect.
There is no place for sexual exploitation in my family. Treat each other with all purity and do not ever treat my children as objects for lust or sexual sin. Whatever you do to the least of these you do to me.
Prayer
Lord, I bless your holy name. You are raising a household of royal priests for your glory. May your church recognise its holy calling. Amen
Quote for the Day
I believe we are about to see the fear of the Lord impact the world in a mind-blowing way. God is going to call His Church out, into the marketplace, and the world will not be able to deny His power. Keith Miller
