I've not blogged for a while, things have been really busy here at Christian Chat with some major upgrades to the chat room software - it has been a tedious and difficult at times as the server was moved and capacity added.. however the finished product is great - we can now stream videos into the chat rooms to encourage people, we can send sounds, use avatar chat and speed the service we

READ: Psalm 23 - or watch the video in the previous post!Pray Father, I want to focus on you today. I place at your feet all my cares and worries so that I can hear your voice.REFLECT A Bible study leader once asked a group who were studying Psalm 23 to "retranslate" the opening verse in a way that made sense in their own culture. The responses were very revealing. From Latin America "The Lord is

Up till now we have been looking at history - but the Bible contains many kinds of writing - this week we get introduced to two new kinds of Biblical writing - poetry and wisdom literature.The Psalms are basically written to express deep truth about God and his world. The person who wrote most of the Psalms - and many say the best - was King David. Over previous studies we have seen some of

What goes up must come down says the old saying... and sadly that is the way it is for most things. Sadly, that was true for Israel. They had reached glorious heights under the reign of King David. And it looked as if the people God had chosen to be his own had finally made it. They had land, a king, peace and - best of all - a special relationship with the one true God.But, as we shall see in

Who would lead the people of Israel now that they had settled in the Promised Land? That's the big question being worked out in our readings and study this week. As we've seen God's plan was to form Abraham's descendents into a "great nation" and through them to bring about "great blessing" to all people (Gen 12:2,3). That blessing would be a Saviour for the sins of the entire world - Jesus

How relevant are they today? Can life really be that black and white? Isn't it just too simplistic?But in all the arguments, most people miss the important point. The Ten

So, its a new year and we are continuing with our studies.This week we are looking at the life of Moses. He is one of the most famous and exciting parts of the Bible. Both Christians and Jews look to Moses as an example of spiritual strength and godly conviction. And because of its emphasis on liberation, this saga has given inspiration to oppressed people - expecially those trapped by the evil
