CI Podcast: No-fault divorce

Throughout scripture, beginning with the Fall, there is a conflict between good and evil. Today, Christians are in a battle against "the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (Ephesians 6:12). Far from hindering the gospel, there are times when God uses conflict to further his redemptive purposes.9 November 2009

Conflict serving redemption

The Lord Jesus emphatically declares that Christians are different – they are the salt and light of the world. Yet he also warns that if salt loses its saltiness, it is "no longer good for anything". We must not lose our distinctive, influencing, Christian nature. If we live in conspicuous obedience to Christ we will stand out and fulfil our calling, "that [men] may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:16b). 2 November 2009

Grace and love

"Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture." (Psalm 100:3)"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28) 23 November 1998

Providence and power

"God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords." (1 Timothy 6:15)"To the only God our Saviour be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and for evermore!" (Jude 1:25) 16 November 1998
