Turkey splinters Nato unity with veto against Finland and Sweden
Event Turkey has broken Nato unity on Finland and Sweden’s push to join the alliance, blocking an initial vote on accession after President Erdogan demanded that the two countries hand over dozens of Turkish exiles he accused of “terrorism”. The veto came hours after Jens Stoltenberg, the Nato secretary-general, hailed a historic moment for western […]
Food crisis looms as landmines litter Ukraine farmer’s fields
The Times, May 2, 2022 Event Ukraine, one of the most fertile and productive countries in the world, has been known historically as the “bread basket of Europe”.

‘Desperate’ Vladimir Putin may use tactical nuclear weapons, warns CIA chief
The Times, April 16 Russia’s setbacks could prompt President Putin to use tactical nuclear weapons, William Burns, the CIA director, has said. Moscow has a stockpile of about 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons, also known as low-yield or battlefield munitions, that can be deployed by air, sea or artillery. These are generally less potent than the […]

“The Bible is indeed the greatest book ever written. It has shaped the cultures of the world in countless ways, and it contains the words of everlasting life. But for so many today, it is largely opaque, indecipherable – at best a puzzling text from a prescientific age.” Bishop Robert Barron, The Word on […]

Wrestling with Genesis and Revelation

Continued attacks clearly targeting civilians
In the face of the despicable attack on a major department store, we cannot help but wonder how long the international community will stand by and watch all those war crimes that Russia continues to commit with impunity.
Voortdurende aanvallen die duidelijk gericht zijn tegen burgers

Can we starve the Russian war-machine
2022, May 16 Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the West took measures to get Russia on its knees to stop the war.

Gebeden als een manier om mensen in moeilijkheden te dienen
Doorheen de tijden hebben heel wat mensen hun toevlucht genomen tot gebeden om uit bepaalde situaties te komen of om voor anderen te bidden zodat hun lijden tot een einde zou mogen komen. Als we terugkijken naar de jonge kerk in Jeruzalem, dan was hun reputatie niet alleen het breken van het brood en de […]
Prayers as a way to serve those in difficulties
When we look back at the infant church in Jerusalem, their reputation was not only for breaking bread, and the Apostles’ doctrine, but for prayer. They were a community that prayed often. They prayed individually. They prayed in meetings together. They prayed in the Temple. They saw prayer as a way to serve others, like […]
Gedachte voor vandaag 26 mei: Er voor zorgen dat we Gods Woord van de waarheid op de juiste manier leren, uitleggen en toepassen
Er zijn heel wat mensen die beweren gelovig te zijn. Maar in wat en wie geloven zij? Er zijn heel wat Christenen die beweren in God te geloven. Maar als wij navraag doen over hun god, komen wij te horen dat zij in een heel andere god geloven dan in de God van de Bijbel. […]

Nothing ever goes smoothly, it seems. Or if something does it’s almost a shock. Our culture has a name for it: Murphy’s Law. No point in going into all the ways it shows up in daily living. But it might be worth thinking about it in a spiritual context. Head for your Bible, and the […]

Het Koninkrijk Gods is bij u
Sommigen nemen aan dat Gods Koninkrijk geen wereldomvattend Vrederijk is maar eerder een geestelijke toestand in het hart van de vromen zou zijn. Voor hetzelfde woord vindt men zowel de vertaling “koninkrijk” als “koningschap” waarbij het Koninkrijk door zijn omvangrijkheid overal te merken zal zijn en terugslaat op het Vrederijk van Christus Jezus.

Christus als Leraar 2 Spreukachtige taal
In Jezus tijd was mondelinge overlevering heel belangrijk. Daarom gebruikte Jezus als leerkracht spreekvormen die het makkelijker maakten om het gezegde te onthouden, zoals bijvoorbeeld een spreukachtige taal.

Does one need evidence?
Does one need proof to come to a certain belief? We can look at the signs in nature and find out what happened to certain people in the past, such as Noah and Paul. With the Book of Books, Allah has provided the world with His Interpretative Word.
Heeft men bewijs nodig?
Heeft men bewijzen nodig om tot een bepaald geloof te komen? Wij kunnen naar de tekenen in de natuur kijken en nagaan wat er in het verleden met bepaalde mensen, zoals Noach en Paulus is gebeurd. Met het Boek der boeken heeft Allah de wereld van Zijn Alzeggend Woord voorzien.
Faith in one or more gods
When we speak about “Faith” (iman) we look at acceptance of the Belief in the existence and oneness of God (Allah).and the existence of the Book of books of which God is the author, existing of five main parts, the Torah (revealed to Moses),,the Psalms (revealed to David).and the Writings of Kings and prophets as well as the Gospel (revealed to Jesus) with the writings of his apostles,
Geloof in één of meer goden
Wanneer wij over “Geloof” (iman) spreken, zien wij op de aanvaarding van het Geloof in het bestaan en de eenheid van God (Allah) en het bestaan van het Boek der boeken waarvan God de auteur is, bestaande uit vijf hoofdstukken, de Torah (geopenbaard aan Mozes), de Psalmen (geopenbaard aan David) en de Geschriften van Koningen en Profeten, alsmede het Evangelie (geopenbaard aan Jezus) met de geschriften van zijn apostelen,
In which God will one believe?
One may wonder in which or what kind of god people want to believe. It is striking that many people like to have a certain form of mystery around their deity and therefore do not choose the God Who pours clear wine and sends very reliable Words to earth.
