Sword of the Spirit

This article from the "Leading and Loving it" blog caught my attention this morning...kind of runs along the same theme that's been running through my mind most of this year so far; and it's what I preached on at Real!
Our minds my be battlefields, but with God, our minds don’t have to lose the battle!
Here are some of the best arrows I’ve found for my arsenal. Maybe you or someone you know could use them in theirs.
  • I am God’s child. (Jn 1:12)
  • I have been bought with a price, and I belong to God. (1 Cor 6:19-20)
  • I have been chosen by God and adopted as His child. (Eph 1:3-8)
  • I am assured that God works for my good in all circumstances. (Rom 8:28)
  • I have been established, anointed and sealed by God. (2 Cor. 1:21-22)
  • I am confident that God will complete the good work He started in me. (Phil. 1:6)
  • I am a citizen of heaven. (Phil. 3:20)
  • I am God’s workmanship. (Eph. 2:10)
  • I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)

Guest Blog: Esther in Indonesia

I'm delighted to welcome Esther Ross-Watson to my Blog today! She is a dearly loved member of our Kerith family. She and her late husband Michael served as missionaries for many years. Esther bravely made the decision to travel again, and she has recently returned from Indonesia. Here's her story:  Whilst Michael was on his last days on earth in August 2017 he received a request from the Island of Madura, Indonesia asking us to return to the town of Pamekasen, Madura, Indonesia where we had begun our Missions work in July 1973 exactly one year after we were married. They were keen to have us see what God had been doing in the years since we’d moved on and we excitedly said ‘Yes’ we will come!   Obviously that had to go on hold for a while because I didn’t feel I could, or even wanted to go alone! Anyway around March/April time 2018, I begun to feel a gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit urging me to think some more about it! It was like a feeling of wanting to know

3 Little Bottles

Thought I'd mix it up today and do something lighthearted here. I popped into town this morning (as an aside, anyone else still incredulous that "new Bracknell / The Lexicon is so great and that it's really here to stay?!)  Anyhow, I popped into town for a quick wander and bought 3 "essentials" I'd run out of, so I thought I'd share them with you - and of course I'd love to hear about your 3 recent essential purchases. 1 Contact lense solution I've worn glasses since Secondary school, and contact lenses since I left Uni. Gas permeables - great for me - slightly perilous in swimming pools / the sea / other people's sinks (£80 to replace). They work for me - and so a couple of bottles of solution each month keep me going.I ran out a couple of days ago, so it was £4.70 well spent for clean lenses and clear eyesight. 2. "Buffet" by The Ordinary This was a new one for me, a present I received last Christmas. I LOVE it and can
