Twenty-Five Responses to the presence of God (1 Samuel 1-7)

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 6:54 am By Adrian Warnock

The following are a series of attitudes, responses, results and emotions seen when people come into contact with the presence of God. As we read the list it is quickly apparent that all of these effects happen today in response to God. I have written more about some of these already, so some of the words below are hyperlinks for more information. How we choose to respond to the presence of God is critical, and what happens to us as... Read more

How to see people saved every week

Last updated on: June 27, 2018 at 11:05 pm By Adrian Warnock

Earlier today I posted about how miracles don’t automatically lead to salvation. On Twitter I later posted a link to an old post of mine in which I argue that The Soulwinner is a book every Christian should read. I wrote “This book should stop us accepting a form of Christianity where week after week no one gets saved in our churches” Some saw a disconnect, basically asking how could we expect salvation a when even miracles don’t guarantee those...

Supernatural displays don’t automatically produce faith (1 Samuel 5)

Last updated on: July 26, 2018 at 8:56 am By Adrian Warnock

For both charismatics who believe that all the gifts of the Spirit are available today, and cessationists, there is often a nagging question in the back of our minds: why doesn’t God do more of the stuff today? The theory goes something like this: if God would just be a bit more dramatic then surely people would immediately repent. The truth is even spectacular miracles don’t automatically produce faith. In our circles we do hear sometimes quite dramatic accounts of... Read more

Right diagnosis, wrong prescription (1 Samuel 4)

Last updated on: December 31, 2017 at 9:47 am By Adrian Warnock

The children of Israel were slow to learn. For generations the cycle had repeated. The book of Judges repeatedly explains that when his people were unfaithful to him he allowed their enemies to triumph over them. When they repented victory returned. So when they were defeated in Elis time they should have realised what they needed to do. Instead they realised the problem that God was fighting against them through his own enemies. But their solution was to rely on... Read more

7 tips on how to hear the Word of the LORD (1 Samuel 3)

Last updated on: January 28, 2018 at 4:36 pm By Adrian Warnock

Imagine the cessationists of the boy Samuel’s time. They would have pointed to the relative absence of the supernatural, and said “Clearly God has stopped talking.” How wrong they would have been. We see though, that even in Bible times there were seasons when “the word of the LORD was rare.” How much less should we be surprised that over the centuries there are periods when it seems God is intervening in our world less, and others when he is...

Seven results of exulting in The Lord (1 Sam 2)

Last updated on: December 31, 2017 at 9:47 am By Adrian Warnock

Reading 1 Sam 2 it struck me that if we will exult in The Lord there are a number of great results: He will give you strength We can be confident over our enemies We will be full of joy in God He will be a rock to us Proud and arrogant speech will be far from our lips God will raise us up out of the dust God will guard us Read more

God’s incredible care for us all, and especially those who are mentally ill

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:39 pm By Adrian Warnock

One goal I have had in this series is to help us all understand that in many ways people with mental illness are just like us. The Bible has much to say to them, but everything it says to them it also says to us. This is because our gracious and eternal father knows our feeble frame. He knows our frailty and our weaknesses. HE is God and you are not! What batter place to conclude this series on mental... Read more

These verses are perhaps especially relevant for thos with Bipolar Disorder and other illnesses, but they are surely relevant for all of us.. God intends us to have a controlled mind. He wants us to be disciplined in our thinking, not allowing fleeting thoughts to capture us and lead us astray. “ For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7, KJV) How do...

God’s word to the impulsive: Bipolar Disorder verses part three

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:39 pm By Adrian Warnock

We continue today to look at Bible verses that address certain specific symptoms people with Bipolar Disorder may exhibit. As said before, people should ask their doctor for advice about medical treatment, these verses are no substitute for that. When manic patients may commit impulsive acts that they would never normally undertake. One of the challenges for family members is that these do not always look like illness to those who do not know the patient. One of the challenges for... Read more
