“Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. Unless in the first waking moment of the day you learn to fling the door wide back and let God in, you will work on a wrong level all day; but swing the door wide open and pray to your Father in secret, and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God.”
Oswald Chambers, on Prayer

Toestand van de doden De gedachten over de toestand van de doden, zoals we die vinden in het Oude Testament, komen velen erg deprimerend over. Het valt echter niet te ontkennen dat God de mens, na zijn zonde, de toegang heeft ontzegd tot eeuwig leven. Dat vertelt God ons ten minste in het boek Genesis. […]
We gaan verder in op de vraag of er wel bewijzen kunnen gevonden worden dat er één God of meerdere goden zijn die hebben ingestaan voor het ontstaan van het universum. Het is maar in latere jaren, toen de wetenschap vorderde dat mensen zijn gaan twijfelen aan het bestaan van goden en of Één Ware Schepper God.
“U hebt uw schatkamers gevuld, hoewel de tijd ten einde loopt”(Jac.5:3) De geest van Nimrod Nimrod was de eerste machthebber op aarde … De kern van zijn rijk werd gevormd door Babel, Uruk, Akkad en Kalne, in Sinear. Vanuit dat land trok hij naar Assyrië, waar hij Nineve, Rechobot–Ir en Kalach bouwde, en ook de […]
Present day reality of computerisation and the many applications, a repeating loop of “verse of the day” Bible balm.
Geschapen mens God heeft de mens geschapen naar Zijn beeld en als Zijn gelijkenis. Maar hij werd niet zo geprogrammeerd, dat hij alleen maar kon doen wat God wilde. De mens werd geschapen met een vrije wil en heeft dus keuzevrijheid. God stelt ons door middel van Zijn opvoedingsproces voor keuzes. Uit wat wij kiezen, […]

Vragen naar het goede Nu kwam er iemand naar Jezus toe met de vraag: ‘Meester,wat voor goed moet ik doen om het eeuwige leven te verwerven?’ Hij antwoordde: ‘Waarom vraag je me naar het goede? Er is er maar één die goed is. Als je het leven wilt binnengaan, houd je dan aan zijn geboden’. […]
“Many in the church have turned their back on serious study, and have embraced an anti-intellectualism which refuses to learn anything from scholarship at all lest it corrupt their pure faith. It is time to end this stand-off, and to re-establish a hermeneutic of trust (itself a sign of the gospel!) in place of the […]
Many who call themselves Christian do like to follow Augustine, even more than Christ. they do agree with him that reading the Bible is no longer necessary once God had fully cultivated faith, hope, and love in us (On Christian Doctrine, 1.39). In other words, according to them, once we are mature in Christ, the […]
Pew Research Center asked thousands of Americans where they find meaning in life. Their responses were rich, thoughtful and varied. Here are just a few examples of what they told us… “That’s a gosh darn big question for a survey like this, I’m used to the check boxes. I find meaning in career, family, spiritual […]
Soon it shall be the most important day of the year. It shall not be to remember that on the 8th of April is the Blessed Night of Bara’a. The night before 15 Shab’aan which is called Lailat-ul-Baraat. According to some believers in the Almighty, Allah determines on this night who will die in the […]
Coronavirus has been spreading rapidly across the world, affecting more than 177 countries and claiming more than 36,200 lives. The virus emerged in China in December 2019 and around 3,300 people there have died from the infection – but both Italy and Spain now have much higher death tolls. The coronavirus outbreak was declared a […]

In the previous years we could already see that when there was an outbreak of a serious illness at first countries did not want to get the matter to become public. As such, we saw that in 2003 the reporting of the total number of SARS cases was much under the real numbers. This time […]
Liesbeth List is wel dankbaar geweest naar haar adoptie ouders, maar als zij zo oud werd als haar eigen moeder moest zij toch denken aan haar oorspronkelijke moeder.

In de jaren 1950-1960 mochten wij geen al te gemakkelijke jongeren geweest zijn. Na de afschuwelijke oorlogsjaren moest het land opgebouwd worden maar leek de wereld in een andere versnelling te geraken. Wij namen het hier in Europa niet meer dat er zo veel onrecht in de wereld was en dat er nog steeds landen […]
Where there is light, there can be no darkness. Light challenges the darkness and banishes it. When you switch on the light, the darkness disappears. What is true literally is also true metaphorically. Light, in Biblical language, is synonymous with knowledge, morality and life, whereas darkness is synonymous with ignorance, immorality and death. The Apostle […]
Jesus said, “Peter, lovest thou Me?” “Yes, Lord. You know I do,” Peter said he. “There is just one command that I want you to keep. You’re the rock for my church – so you must feed My sheep.” “Don’t tell Me you don’t like that one over there Cos there’s mud in his wool […]

Our life in Christ is a demonstration of good characteristics, determined by choice and a constant examination of our motives, our thoughts and our actions.
Bij het lezen van Gods Woord is het alsof we in gesprek zijn met de Allerhoogste. Zulk een intiem moment met Hem is het ideale ogenblik om aan Zijn zegeningen te denken, maar ook om verder nog zegeningen te krijgen, zoals ook koning David op zijn oude dag niet verlegen zat om aldus te doen. […]

Having a look at some present excavations which may attract the present tourist in the Holy Land.
Time of distress should never be an excuse to not follow the mitzvah of our God. As such now in a time of lockdown, being isolated we should still have a Memorial Meal.
One Passover tradition asks that if people can afford to, they provide those less fortunate with foods that are eaten during the holiday, like matzah, eggs, chicken or wine.
Before the Israelites escaped Egypt they solemnly prepared themselves for their escape and had the seder in their closed circle, what we shall have to do in 2020 as well.
Israeli parents did their best that their children could enjoy a normal Purim. Medical face-masks make a big appearance at holiday events. 39+ Israelis have coronavirus. President Rivlin expected to give first mandate to Benny Gantz.
At a borough of the German city Mönchengladbach, located in the west of North Rhine-Westphalia, a group of American soldiers observed Purim in Goebbels’ vacation home, Schloss Rheydt on March 8, 1945.
2020 the year when an invisible enemy managed to isolate so many people and got so many believers of God not being able to meet with each other for the mitzvah of the memorial meal on 14 Nisan.
Continuing in the book of Adam’s generations we saw that Enoch walked with God after he had begotten Methushelah and find Methushelah bringing Lemech (Lámek/Lamech) the father of Noah on this world. The account ends with Noah having Shem, Ham, and Yefet/Japeth.
Going from Enosh, the son of Seth and grandson of Adam, we go up to another Enoch in the family tree, namely the son of Jared and grandson of Mahalalel.
We know those descendants of Adam had come to recognise the Divine Creator as their God to call upon His Name.
Elohim had blessed the human beings He had created and allowed them to have children. That way A’dham became the father “of a son” in his own likeness, “after” his own image. We were not told this about Cain and Abel simply because the text did not wish to discuss them at length.
In this chapter 5 Moses goes straight to the third son of Adam, Enosh. It is noted that from that time the people started to call upon the Name of Jehovah God.
The genealogy of Adam gives us a picture how from those being created in the image of God, were born new creatures. Male and female were created by the Only One God, Who blessed them and gave them the possibility to bring forth new blood, so that the purpose of God, to fill the world could be fulfilled.
De opdracht van Godswege omtrent het doorvertellen van Gods daden moeten wij ook tijdens de isolatiemaatregelen rond het coronavirus opvolgen.
Wegens het Coronavirus zal er in 2020 geen mogelijkheid zijn om gezamelijk de Shemoth te herdenken en zal eenieder alleen in de huiskring 14 Nisan kunnen vieren.
Ook vandaag lopen velen in de wereld met een masker op, zij het om schoonheid te herinneren maar ook om hun eigen te verstoppen voor de ander.
Vanuit de geschiedenis van Esther zijn veel parallellen te trekken naar de huidige situatie in het Midden-Oosten. In Perzië, het huidige Iran, is niet veel veranderd als het gaat om Jodenhaat en anti-Israël retoriek.
Ook al is Purim of Poerim voor ons geen Bijbels hoogtijdfeest zoals het ietsje later komende Pesach of Pascha op 14 Nisan en verdere hoogdagen dit jaar van 8-16 April, laten wij het toch niet na om er een hele gezellige boel van te maken in de familiekring zo wel als in de gemeenschap.
In het Poolse stadje Węgrów, in het Poolse woiwodschap Mazovië, gelegen in de powiat Węgrowski, een plaats met 70 procent Joodse inwoners, waar ooit katholieken en Joden vreedzaam samen leefden, tot de dag dat de Nazi’s kwamen en de rabbijn op het Stadsplein zetten en vermoordden. Vanaf die dag kwam er een heuse heksenjacht op […]

There is an old curse attributed to the Chinese that states, ‘May you live in interesting times.’ It is somewhat ironic that the entire globe is going through some very dangerous ‘interesting times’ because of the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP Coronavirus. The obvious danger is the danger of death from the disease. The less … Continue reading Freedom and Faith Must Not Be Cast Aside to Fight a Viral Foe [Video]
