Pursue biblical doctrine
‘Watch your life and doctrine closely.’ 2 Timothy 4:16 NIV
Many who love to beautify themselves with diamonds use the counterfeit cubic zirconia. But now, scientists can create real diamonds in a laboratory. And they are so good at it that gemmologists have trouble recognising laboratory diamonds from mined ones. To tell them apart, an expert’s checklist is used: weight, colour, clarity and brilliance. Without it, an imposter could pretend a two-day-old diamond is one that took thousands of years to develop.
The same is true with spiritual truth. If Christians don’t know their Bibles, spiritual imposters could pass off all manner of lies as truth. It’s not enough for someone to do miracles in Jesus’ name. ‘Many will say to me in that day, “Lord, Lord, have we not…done many wonders in your name?” And then I will declare to them, “I never knew you; depart from me”’ (Matthew 7:22-23 NKJV). The Bible says that even Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. Paul warns: ‘For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths’ (2 Timothy 4:3-4 NLT).
The Bible uses the word ‘doctrine’ fifty-five times. That’s how important it is. We need to have the desire of a diamond expert – a desire not to be deceived. If careful examination, study and care are taken in determining the quality of a precious stone, how much more should the same effort be applied to the precious word of God?

Spotted this sign the other day as I was munching my way through my favourite icecream - lemon curd yoghurt. Yummo!
It says “Dare to be real, live life to the fullest.
We’re all wired differently & living life to the fullest looks different on all of us.
Stopping off at the beach on my way home, on a Friday afternoon to enjoy a cone of my favourite icecream feels like living life to the full to me.
How about you?

Help to share your faith
‘The Holy Spirit will come and help you.’ John 14:26 CEV
To share your faith effectively with others, you must be strong in these three areas:
(1) Be sure of your own salvation. John writes: ‘He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself…And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son…These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God’ (1 John 5:10-11, 13 NKJV).
(2) Get over your fear of rejection. That means getting to the root of your fear, which is ego. Only when self-preservation and self-interest are crucified can you make Jesus known without fear. Jesus said, ‘Whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me’ (John 13:20 NIV). Get over yourself! If someone rejects you, you may lose face. But if they reject Jesus, they will lose their soul.
(3) Use wisdom in sharing the gospel. ‘If you act wisely, others will follow’ (Proverbs 11:30 CEV). God can work on both ends of the line. He can prepare the heart of your listener so that they’re open to what you have to say, and he can give you the right words and the right approach to talk to them. Jesus said, ‘The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you’ (John 14:26 NIV).

WHERE DO YOU FIND GOD PODCAST: So enjoyed my conversation with the awesome Davina West who is a producer/broadcaster with Andrew Urquhart on Rhema.
Davina talks of having searched for God in all sorts of places but how now she is increasingly learning to recognize God in the everyday moments of life, whether it’s spending time with her children or making healthy, tasty and nourishing food.

Keep your eyes on God
‘He saw him who is invisible.’ Hebrews 11:26-27 NIV
People generally begin new projects with excitement and enthusiasm. The newness of what they are doing compels them to keep moving forward. Then something goes wrong. The project looked easier than it turned out to be, and they are not prepared to work at it and stay at it, so they give up.
Persistence and a refusal to abandon the vision keep people coming back, and back, and back again until they succeed. Imagine what life would be like without the light bulb or the polio vaccine. Yet Thomas Edison and Jonas Salk lived through endless chapters of trial and failure before they succeeded. Successful people take note of their failures and learn from them. They examine them carefully, work out what went wrong, and use them to correct their errors going forwards. Moses lived through criticism, betrayal and constant complaining, yet he led the greatest migration of people in the history of humankind. How did he do it? The Bible gives the answer in two phrases: ‘He was looking ahead to his reward…he persevered because he saw him who is invisible’ (Hebrews 11:26-27 NIV).
As a redeemed child of God, you have a big plus in your life: ‘My help comes from the Lord’ (Psalm 121:2 NKJV). Think about that! With the Lord of every situation and circumstance helping you, you will eventually prevail. You have a source of unfailing strength and guidance to draw on. So keep your eyes on the Lord, keep looking ahead to your promised reward, and you will win.

Facebook Memories popped up today with this day 8 years ago when my son Dan (12 at the time) were extras on a NZ TV Show. We had lots of fun and yes, they straightened my hair, what a mission!

‘Never be lacking in zeal…keep your spiritual fervour.’ Romans 12:11 NIV
Just as an ECG can measure the health of our physical heart and blockages that threaten it, it’s helpful to have an instrument that can measure the level of our zeal, commitment and wholeheartedness when it comes to serving the Lord.
The following six questions will do just that:
(1) Do I talk openly and frequently about my commitment to Jesus in order to create a kind of public accountability for my actions?
(2) Do I accept the responsibility to grow? Do I read books and practise skills and get together with those farther down the road who can help me improve?
(3) Do I complain about problems in a way that cleverly rationalises a half-hearted involvement?
(4) Do I handle discouragements by talking with God and requesting strength to persevere?
(5) Do I acknowledge and celebrate even my small steps in the right direction?
(6) Am I honest about my level of zeal? When my zeal is flagging, do I take steps to renew it? The apostle Paul writes, ‘Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervour, serving the Lord’ (Romans 12:11 NIV) Zeal describes passion, persistence and power, and these are things you can track and guard.
Think about these questions carefully and prayerfully. Be honest with God and with yourself. And if you don’t like the answers, decide today to take action. Spend more time alone with God in prayer and reading his word. Having a burning zeal for God is like tending a fire; it requires constant fuelling and maintenance. And no one else can do that for you.
