Kameel Majdali's Road Ahead

Perfect Peace from a Perfect God With anxiety and depression on the increase, even in peaceful prosperous nations like Australia, people are spending millions of dollars to find relief. Yet, the best peace, indeed, perfect peace, you can receive for free. The road to ‘perfect peace’ is found through God’s peace process. So far, we have learned the following steps to God’s peace process: 1.         Pre-requisite to peace : Make a decision not allow your heart to be troubled or afraid, because Jesus is sending His peace to you (John 14:27). 2.         Peace established: When you say ‘Yes’ to the gospel, you have reconciliation and peace with God (Romans 5:1); 3.         Protective, prevailing peace: God’s peace is like the body guard that keeps your heart and mind safe in Christ (Philippians 4:6-7). 4.         Great ...

Now all theses things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come — I Corinthians 10:11 (NKJV) He is one of the most famous and significant figures in the Bible. The covenant God made with him changed history and paved the way for the coming of the Messiah. He set an example of leadership, worship, and service of God. He was not perfect but so dedicated was he to the Lord that he was called the ‘man after God’s own heart’ (Acts 13:22). The person in question is David, king of Israel. The book of I Chronicles is primarily about him. Out of love for God he wants to build a temple, but God forbade him because he had shed too much blood. So though his son and successor Solomon will be the temple builder, David will do all the planning and preparation necessary to make the temple possible. Chronicles was written after the Israelites returned to Judah from the Babylonian exile in the 5th Century BC. It ser...

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go - Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) Whose playing in the football match this weekend? Where will we spend our family holiday? What kind of cuisine shall we have for dinner tonight? People give attention to short-term issues of today and tomorrow, but seem to give little thought to the long-term future. Why is this the case? There are several reasons, but one of the key explanations is that people think the future will be unpleasant. If people are struggling to balance their budget or handle their teenage children, how can they cope with the notion that the world is being turned on its head - or going out of business altogether. If we are going to achieve the worthy goal of becoming ‘future ready,’ we need to understand what the future is about. One means is to keep well informed by reliable, truthful, and balanced news sources. More...

Last month, we looked at two major anniversaries in 2017: the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation and 120th Anniversary of Theodor Herzl’s first Zionist congress. This month, we focus on four more anniversaries for this year. 100 Years Ago - Battle of Beersheba 31 October 1917 Exactly 400 years after the Reformation, the Australian Light-horsemen, along with the British, captured the city of Beersheba in the south of Turkish-occupied Palestine. This campaign not only highlighted the great bravery of the Allied troops, but it was the beginning of the end of 400 years of Turkish rule. The British would capture the rest of the country, including Jerusalem in December 1917, were granted a mandate in Palestine by the League of Nations, and all this led to the creation of Israel in 1948. 100 Years Ago - The Balfour Declaration 2 November 1917 A seemingly harmless letter written by the British Foreign Secretary Lord Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild became th...
