  The Song of God's Mob

  from Bernard Gabbott

  We are a singing mob – there are very few mobs like God’s mob, who sing each week, who sing communally, who sing about the eternal and the temporal, who sing about and to the God and Lord of the universe. And that singing nature of God’s mob has always been part of our DNA – Exodus 15 shows this as God’s mob sing the praises of God, as he vanquishes their enemy. The heart of this ‘song by the sea’ is the nature, the work, the plan of the LORD – and the fact that his people can plod towards their home, knowing this great God. But we are also a forgetful mob! In only three days, God’s mob move from song to grumble. And God must remind them that he will never neglect them: they will get home. Jesus’ mother sang a song as his birth came imminent. Jesus spoke of his life and purpose as ‘home-building’. And Jesus walked through life, praising God and practicing this in obedience. So, we as God’s mob now, can continue the practice of being a singing mob, walking home, knowing that nothing will separate us from God and his love, in Jesus.

  Dealing with the Unattractive Unavoidable

  from Bernard Gabbott

  Sin is THE unattractive unavoidable issue we all have to deal with in life. It affects the high and mighty, and the low and humble. It affects the child, the baby, the teenager, the adult, the parent, the spouse – all of us. And when we deal with it, it is encouraging that we come to it with God’s help. In his word, he not only gives us example after example of his people dealing with sin – he gives us his son to deal with our sin for us. There are many things you will do this week… but make this a necessity: please come before God to deal with your sin, knowing that God has not left you alone to do so.

  The Fool Says ...

  from Andrew McClenaghan

  “Hello, how are you?” “I’m good.” “Sometimes well but never good.” That was what my Nanna always u sed to say. She may have been right in my case, but it is a common misconception for those who are followers of Jesus. I don’t know about you but the older I get the more I am aware of my sin. Why aren’t I done with it by now? Psalm 14 is a good reminder that without Jesus this is what we were. No righteousness, no salvation and no hope. But David, writing 1000 years before Jesus, did have hope. Hope that salvation would come from Zion, that the Lord would restore the fortunes of his people. Jesus is that hope and because of him, even though we are aware of our sin, we can rightly say that we are good. Clothed in his righteousness we are not just well, we are good.
