David Bambrick Chapter Three: verses 1-25. As in the last two chapter of Galatians, Paul here, in these last two chapter gives lots of practical teaching or application on what he has taught previously. It’s one thing to state and defend the truth but it’s a whole other thing if we are not demonstrating the…
As I was reading about the national sins of Israel in the wilderness, I was interested in what the Word of God had to say concerning His chosen, their rebellion and how God dealt with it all. For more information on this read Psalms 105-107. It is Psalm 106 that relates to what I’m about…
David Bambrick 31/10/2022 -12/12/2022 Chapter Two: verses 1-23. V1-3. Continuing on from chapter 1 verse 29 and keeping in mind that the Bible was written without chapter separation (1300 ad) and verse numbering (1500 ad). Paul reiterates the striving and agonising he says, “on your behalf.” What does he mean “on your behalf?, is it…
David Bambrick 05/09/2022 – 30/10/2022 Chapter One: verses 1-29. V1-12. William Barclay once said, “It is not until a man finds his faith opposed and attacked that he really begins to think out the implications of that faith. It is not until the Church is confronted with some dangerous heresy that she begins to realize…
Questions, questions, questions, what’s with all the questions? It is healthy though to ask questions especially about life, the universe and everything else. But I can assure you that there is a lot more to the answer than just forty-two. Many people ask questions about life. They study anatomy and physiology, the psychology of man…
If ever there was a time when a man had every right to be belligerent, frustrated, angry and confused, Paul was the man and this was the place. But Paul never said the glass is half empty, he never doubted that every circumstance he found himself in was not being orchestrated by his Savior and…
My wife and I have six wonderful children, four boys and two girls and we love them like no other. So that there’s no misunderstanding of what I’m about to say, parents who love their children are doubly blessed (Ps 127:3-5). So, what I’m going to say is this; I have come to realise that…
After the death of actor and comedian Robin Williams, his will resulted in a legal dispute between his 3 children and his wife. He had left all of his $100 million estate to his children with the addition that his wife would get to live in the house in Tiburon, and the children would inherit…
This poem I wrote in 2012. As I looked into bathroom mirror after arising from bed one morning the train-wreck that stared back at me prompted this poem. I’ll have to cut me hair today, me hair it’s gone all wrong.It’s old and grey and very coarse like a sailor and his song.A patch of…
I had a little caterpillar and his name was Fred. Every night I tucked him in his caterpillar bed. Then one day I woke to find a very lovely site. No more Fred, instead, a beautiful butterfly in flight.
It never ceases to amaze me how authors flex their vocabulary muscles. Writers are amazing, especially those who grant us the benefit of their experience with the “How to Write” genre. Authors such as William Zinsser, Roy Peter Clarke, Andrew T. Le Peau and of course Willian Strunk Jr. I have read, read and re-read…
Australian author of yesteryear Banjo Patterson once wrote a poem titled “The Man From Snowy River.” The opening stanza of this poetical story tells of an incredible prize, in the form of a colt, that had escaped its corral. A thousand pounds they say the colt was worth in 1890, which nowadays would equate to…
Inquiring of the Lord! What a novel idea. Seriously though, inquiring of the Lord should be so second nature that those who observe our behavior should be asking “Why are you always talking to yourself?” Twice in Isaiah the Lord encourages us to “Come, let us reason together…,” and again “Present your case says the…
