The glory of God

The attributes of God Scripture Readings Psalm 24 Revelation 1:9-20 Introduction A.W. Tozer wrote in The knowledge of the Holy: The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshiping men. This she has done not deliberately,…… Continue reading The glory of God

The glory of God

This Sunday we will hear the Word of God on another attribute of God:  His glory. Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the…… Continue reading The glory of God

Church of Tares

I had a vague idea, and sometimes I really did wonder.  Now I am better informed. This video is not easy to digest.  So, take time and watch trough the whole movie. One might differ on certain points.  I do, but please watch prayerfully. Test every thought against the Word of God. http://youtu.be/kxY3VbBHTkY

God’s effectual call of grace!

I found myself in tears reading this story.  Why? There is hope in the Gospel of Jesus Christ!  The Gospel is life-giving, because it is the Word of God.  It is like a hammer smashing the rock, and the sword that penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, judging the thoughts and attitudes of the…… Continue reading God’s effectual call of grace!

If your daughter develops a headache at school and went to the head office for a tablet, she might need your consent first for the school staff to give her a paracetamol tablet.  She might be allergic to something and the school does not want to be sued. On the other hand, the school might…… Continue reading No parental consent needed

Sensitivity Training

Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco is going to Disney World, but San Francisco 49ers linebacker Chris Culliver is heading to reeducation camp. Culliver last week said he wouldn’t want to have any gay teammates. Then came what today is the inevitable: Public apology, sit-down with journalists, and volunteering to work at a pro-homosexuality charity—in this…… Continue reading Sensitivity Training

God’s will for our lives: Sanctification

Sanctification Scripture Readings: Leviticus 18:24-19:4 Ephesians 1:3-14 Introduction A man is charged of crime – let’s say he committed murder.  All evidence points in his direction, even his defence lawyer cannot come up with anything better than to plead for a lesser penalty.  The judge listens to the charges laid; he weighs up the evidence…… Continue reading God’s will for our lives: Sanctification
