Our God Reigns

This morning's WordLive study...

This world is living in sin. All we do is a struggle between godliness and evil. God, the great creator has allowed his creation to fall. The Beast seems to be running the show, allowing death and decay. However, God who raised Jesus from the dead, is restoring and renewing His creation, taking people home to Glory.
16Then the twenty-four elders, who were seated on thrones in God's presence, knelt down and worshiped him. 17They said,
"Lord God All-Powerful, you are and you were, and we thank you. You used your great power and started ruling. 18When the nations got angry, you became angry too! Now the time has come for the dead to be judged. It is time for you to reward your servants the prophets and all of your people who honour your name, no matter who they are. It is time to destroy everyone who has destroyed the earth."
(Revelation 11:16-17)

The Adventure Begins...

How appropriate is it that the reading for today is entitled ‘an adventure begins’. Today, my first day at QMU, and the adventure has begun.

If I want to be part of the good news story here in QMU, then there are some things that I must do. I am turning my back on comfort, living at home, being cooked for, and moving out into a new life, I need Jesus with me every step of the way.

How did I first realise that this was the place for me to study? It was the sense of total peace when I walked through the doors for the first time. The picturing in my mind that I could actually study and be happy here, and this far, I am. Praise the Lord!!

So To God Be the Glory. Four people know that I am a Christian, the first four people I have met properly, I pray that God will bless these conversations.

Home sickness hasn't hit yet, but I am sure it will.
