Devotion
Dear Subscriber,
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are unable to continue the weekday Lift Up Your Heart devotionals.
It is our hope that in the future we may be able to resume providing the devotional, or at least, have a series at particular points in the Anglican Liturgical Calendar.
As you will appreciate there has been considerable time and effort involved in producing the devotionals thus far.
Much of that work has been done voluntarily and we want to thank our writers, recorders and translators for providing such a wonderful service over the course of these past months.
We continue to pray that the devotions will have caused you to regularly turn to the Scriptures and seek the counsel of our great God for your daily life.
The Lord be with you.

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways. Whenever scripture speaks of the fear of the Lord we notice that it is never mentioned on its own, as if fear could by itself bring our...

Beloved, see what a marvellous thing love is; its perfection is beyond our expression. Who can truly love, save those to whom God grants it? We ought to beg and beseech him in his mercy that our love...

John Piper has rightly observed that God uses the persecution and suffering of his people to spread the truth of Christ and to bless the world (cf. Luke 21:12-13). He rules over the sufferings of the...

It is interesting to observe what Peter and John do immediately upon their release. They do one thing that's very natural, and they do another thing that's very supernatural. The natural response is...

2 Peter 1:10-11
In the first chapter of Peter’s second epistle, he instructs believers at least three times to make every effort. We can tell from his years as a disciple and an apostle, Peter knew...

1 Peter 4:1-6
It is said that sometimes it may be easier to die for Christ than to live for Him. We could have an argument for or against this statement with valid reasons. The point is however, that...

I want to believe that we all get excited every time we receive a letter or a message from someone we care about or look up to. Can you imagine what it meant for the early Christians to receive a...

One lesson I have loved teaching over the years in Sunday school classes for children is the parable of talents as recorded in Mathew 25:14-30 and Luke 19:11-27. There is always something new in this...

Who would your son or daughter find at church if he strayed there on a random weekday looking for answers? Would they find people there to guide them or discourse their latest scriptural findings?...
