My name is written on the palm of Your hand.
Not ‘written’, engraved; and so it will stand.
There for eternity for all to see
Because You are so proud of me.... more >>

Many years ago when I was a young, eager, wannabe pop star I tried several times to write a song.  It was hopeless.  I could not get two lines to rhyme unless they had the words moon, spoon, or June in them.  Believing I was a creative moron I eventually threw the towel in on any song writing ambitions that I might have had. more >>

“Arise my soul arise” is one of those songs that came together very quickly. I was just playing my guitar and flicking through a song book when the title of this Charles Wesley hymn grabbed me. The reason the title grabbed me is that I love the word arise.  It is such a positive and hope inspiring word.  I love to sing about the theme of rising up as that is what God’s grace enables us to do. more >>

Before I became a Christian and particularly as a child I had thought that Jesus was nothing more than a character from a history book. A carpenter from Nazareth or “Baby Jesus” of the nativity.  I had no idea that He even existed at all apart from stories I had heard. It’s clear that multitudes of others think the same. This got me thinking of what He has revealed of Himself to me as I have got to know Him. more >>

Creative Hearts Ministries - "Culture of Glory" - A Book by  Keith Mason

Culture of Glory - The Glory of the New Creation.

God shares His blessings and character with fallen man, once we repent and receive the new creation. The Christian life is discovering the scope of the new creation. The Lord Jesus has placed everything we need to live the life in our spirits. We are called by the gospel to obtain glory, says 2 Thessalonians 2: 14. All that God HAS and all that God IS are communicated to us through the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit, God’s great “how He does a thing” alone knows the Son perfectly and lead’s us into ALL truth. 
In the light of astonishing new creation realities, how is it that the church of the living God is impotent and immobile?  
Ignorance ranks high, and God’s people are destroyed by it. There was a man who paid for a transatlantic ship journey and stashed plenty of biscuits and cheese for the journey. His ticket actually included the fabulous meals on board, but he only realised his ignorance when the statue of liberty was in sight! On our heavenly path, many of us make the same mistake. We don’t receive all that redemption has purchased for us – perhaps only 1 or 2 per cent? This could be the believer’s greatest sin – living at such a low level of faith we are hardly distinguishable from those next door pagans who left God sometime in childhood.

Hang in there in His love.  Stick around whatever the difficulty, in His life.  Reside under His grace, continuing in Christ.  Stay focussed. more >>

Don't Lose Heart

Whatever the devil throws at you, don’t lose heart. We lose heart when we look at things seen; when we fail to focus on the unseen things of glory and the new creation. Be objective in times of pressure and face the fact that the Lord of the heavenly armies reigns. more >>

God's Removals

God removes in order to establish something better. The context of this great principle is the covenants. The first covenant was wholly of God yet removed by Him in order to establish a better covenant based on a better promise. That better covenant was brought into being by His death on the Cross because Jesus rose as High Priest of a new covenant. more >>

Holiness

We live in a filthy world, breaking apart at the seams.  The early church had such a standard of holiness, those not born again, “dared not join them” (Acts 5 : 13).  The call of holiness in today’s church has been suppressed by the blessing, quick-fix gospel. more >>
