The Edge

Set healthy boundaries

‘Our word to you does not waver between “Yes” and “No”.’ 2 Corinthians 1:18 NLT Paul writes, ‘Do you think I make my plans carelessly? Do you think I am like people of the world who say “Yes” when they really mean “No”? As surely as God is faithful, our word to you does not waver.’ (2 Corinthians 1:17–18 NLT) Paul had learned to set boundaries in his relationships, and you must do the same. A...

Contrary winds (3)

‘Stormy wind, fulfilling His word.’ Psalm 148:8 NASB The winds were contrary when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, they were contrary on their way to the Promised Land, and they were contrary when they got there. There is no such thing as a storm-free voyage: ‘It is through many tribulations that we must enter the Kingdom of God.’ (Acts 14:22 NASB) When you have to fight to stay afloat day...

‘The winds were contrary.’ Acts 27:4 KJV When you set out to do anything for God, the enemy will make sure you encounter ‘contrary winds’.

The Bible says Jesus was ‘tempted of the devil.’ (Matthew 4:1 KJV) Satan never let up, including the night before Jesus was crucified when ‘Satan entered into...

One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: “I thank You, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax...

How to pray when you are sick

‘Is anyone among you sick?’ James 5:14 NIV The Bible says, ‘Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up.’ (James 5:14–15 NIV) So, let’s be in no doubt; when we’re sick, we are told to call for the church elders to...

Do you know why you’re here?

‘He chose us.’ Ephesians 1:4 NKJV When it comes to God’s will for your life, He decides it and you discover it. It’s not something you can change, a topic for debate, or a plan you get to have a say in. The truth is, you can miss God’s will and be miserable, or do things His way and experience ‘glorious, inexpressible joy.’ (1 Peter 1:8 NLT) The choice is yours. ‘But I don’t know God’s will for...

He knows what you need!

‘…but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.’ Matthew 6:32 NLT God loves to give. Listen, "Since He did not spare even His own Son for us…won't He surely give us everything else?"
