Restoring Men’s Health

mennis — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 00:37:26 +0000

Many of you would recognise that our physical, emotional and spiritual health are all linked, and when one is failing, there is a good chance others will be as well. At the first of our men’s fellowship mornings for the year, Rob Flynn from Brisbane Christian Fellowship spoke to us about this dynamic.

He highlighted that it is important to recognise that often the cause of physical health issues is a restlessness or an anguish in our emotions or spirit. Any medical solution to this problem will only hide the symptoms, not address the root cause. Compounding the issue, science is now realising that where these causes are not removed, the brain goes through a physical change that creates an addiction.

We’re all aware of various support groups that have been created to minimise the external damage of addictions to things such as alcohol, drugs, gambling and the internet. They train participants how to react differently when circumstances arise, but aren’t able to reverse the changes to the brain.

Rob reminded us that Ephesians 4:23 says we can be ‘renewed in the spirit of your mind’. Can I commend the whole of Ephesians 4 to you; it is an amazing insight into how these conditions arise and how the church, the body of Christ, can protect and restore us to ‘the way God meant us to be’.

Please contact us if you would like to hear more about ‘having a new mind’ or being involved with our regular church program, including our men’s meetings.

Don’t Be Anxious

mennis — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 00:07:02 +0000

Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own’. Matt 6:34. I interpret this verse to mean, ‘Do not compound your anxieties’! Don’t be anxious about what might happen in the days ahead so that all those anxieties come upon you today. Equally, don’t let today’s anxiety roll-over to tomorrow, and the next day, and so on’. Every day you must bring your cares and anxieties to the Lord in prayer. By this means, you find the Lord’s provision for each specific day.

‘No Longer Our Own’

mennis — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:48:44 +0000

This was the amazing thing about Paul’s liberty. He was locked away in a prison, and yet produced a legacy that we would not have if he hadn’t been severely incarcerated. That is the mystery of grace. If he hadn’t written those letters in prison, we would not have a large part of the New Testament or an understanding of redemption. The apostle John was on that Alcatraz type island called Patmos. In his most extreme imprisonment, John wrote the book of Revelation. You and I need to experience the same thing.

This is extract from ‘No Longer Our Own’ by David Falk.

God has chosen the weak things…..

mennis — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:32:56 +0000

We read in the book of Corinthians that God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong. He has chosen the base things of the world and the despised, the things that ‘are not’, that He might nullify the things ‘that are’, so that no man should boast before God. 1 Corinthians 1:27-29

Paul was one of the best examples in the New Testament…………

Youth Summit

mennis — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:02:02 +0000

Youth from across Australia gathered together in Brisbane recently for their annual Youth Summit. The theme for their Summit this year was ‘Signposts on the Pathway to Firstfruits’. Our Teenagers and Young Adults have spoken of the ‘awesome’ weekend they had attending the Youth Summit, hearing from a range of speakers addressing them on the pathways of obedience, sanctification and redemption. Catching up with friends from interstate was also a highlight, sharing recreational time, meals and discussing together what the Lord was saying to each one through the various speakers over the weekend.
