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”. Now it is facing a complex and unprecedented agricultural crisis, in which landmines are only one of numerous interlinked problems. The United Nations estimates this year’s harvest […]
BBC, April 22 + Audit of antisemitic incidents Event The number of anti-Semitic incidents around the world dramatically increased last year, a study by Tel Aviv University has found. The report identifies the US, Canada, the UK, Germany and Australia as among countries where there was a sharp rise. This was fueled by radical left- […]
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 […]
Event: The United Nations general assembly has voted to suspend Russia from the human rights council after images of atrocities apparently showing civilians left dead in the streets with their hands bound emerged following Russian troops’ withdrawal from around Kyiv. The call for Russia’s removal from the UN’s top human rights body was led by […]

To those now deep into biblical scripture you are probably aware of the difference between reading the bible and meditating on the world. Naturally, like many young Christians, I had assumed that once you read the bible, and you knew God’s words and it was enough. But I kept hearing…

“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 […]
We admit that the Bible is not easy for everyone to follow. But usually, this is because the person does not believe in himself enough and is too much weighed down by entrenched human doctrines or dogmas that obscure the Biblical text.
The inability of Christians to grasp the meaning and message of both Genesis and Revelation create a great divide in America. Christians struggle with both the beginning and culmination of the Scriptures — the Alpha and the Omega as they might be called. Both Genesis and Revelation bring a lot of baggage with them to […]
Turkey has positioned itself with great care to be the go-between with Russia and Ukraine – and this seems to be paying off. On Thursday afternoon, President Vladimir Putin rang the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and told him what Russia’s precise demands were for a peace deal with Ukraine. The Russian demands fall into […]
I was very surprised to read that one of my teachers thought: “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I died tonight?”‘ But soon I came to see and understand it was in the positive sense, a thought of some years ago, Dame Monica Mason, recalling her role as the Chosen Maiden in Kenneth MacMillan’s The Rite […]
The Republican Party under Trump had really a problem with promoting several right wing groups. On MSNBC Saturday April 30, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison gave to know that the Republican Party is a “hot mess” built on “fear” and “fraud”. Harrison’s comments came during a discussion with MSNBC host Tiffany Cross, who asked […]

Zij die werkzaam zijn in de culturele sector behoren al eeuwen tot de minst beschermde mensen. Toen ik in de sector begon te werken was er zelfs geen pensioenvoorziening en moesten wij daar zelf voor instaan. Dit deden velen van ons dan ook door goed te sparen, levensverzekeringen aan te gaan, kasbons en aandelen te […]
De Standaard bracht heel slecht nieuws uit voor de CD&V, de Christen Democratische Volkspartij, die klaarblijkelijk de interesse van het volk verloren heeft. Vroeger was de CVP de grootste politieke partij in België. Voor jaren kon die Christelijke Volkspartij rekenen op vaste kiezers, die alsmaar ouder werden en vervolgens ook stierven, zodat het aantal stemmers […]

Vooral aan artillerie, tanks, langeafstandsraketwerpers en luchtverdediging heeft het Oekraïense leger gebrek om passend te kunnen reageren op de Russische invasie. Russen vertrouwen op hun artillerie en raketten waarmee ze Oekraïne op afstand bestoken.…
Zelensky heeft toch een vreemde uitspraak gedaan om zijn land te vergelijken met een ‘groot Israël’. Of kijkt hij vooruit naar een profetische Bijbelse voorspelling? Dinsdag 5 april maakte de Oekraïense president Volodymyr Zelensky de meest expliciete identificatie van zijn bevochten land met de staat Israël, waarbij hij op de Israëlische staatstelevisie aangaf dat zelfs […]
Vandaag is het een donderdag met een speciale betekenis, waarvoor het ook een feestdag is in het hele land.

In veel landen is Hemelvaartsdag een […]

The Garden Outreach Project GOTYOURBACK INITIATIVE At-risk youth comprise a vast population of young people in the United States and Canada.

The world should come to know that there is only One True God Who is the Almighty, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent God, Who made His Name known, to be Jehovah. It is before that God that we should walk. “Yea, since the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of […]
We know that some of our brothers and sisters live in areas that are at elevated risk for bombardment and invasion. We know that refugees are particularly vulnerable, with uncertain circumstances and conditions. We know that the primary method for brothers and sisters in Ukraine, as well as Russia, to fellowship is through the internet. […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Na de gevolgen van de Corona pandemie kregen wij de gevolgen van de oorlog in Oekraïne en kwam het apenpokkenvirus de wereld beroeren. Al die onhebbelijkheden deden mensen vreemd reageren en brachten gezinnen tot de noodzaak om goed uit te kijken wat te doen en aan wat geld te besteden. De voorgaande maanden werden gelovigen […]
God verblijft in de hemel maar is ook overal op de wereld, maar niet verdoken in kerken geplaatste tabernakels.
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.
Uit de spreukachtige gezegden die Jezus gebruikt tijdens zijn bergrede blijkt hoe de ene uitspraak slechts één kant van een zaak belicht terwijl een andere betrekking heeft op een ander aspect hiervan.
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.
Met meesterlijke verhalen weet de Nazarener leermeester mensen te boeien.

The Copper Scroll. Found in a cave near the Dead Sea, the Copper Scroll describes a vast treasure—hidden in locations throughout the Judean wilderness. Some think the scroll served as a map to the treasure from the Jerusalem Temple.
Archives are always a treasure trove, but they often remain a closed Pandora’s box for interested parties. Due to COVID-19, the Badè Museum gallery in Berkeley, California, is closed until further notice.

Neurologists are inherently interested in psychosis, not least because too much dopamine in the form of L-DOPA can trigger it. I’ve always found it remarkable that dopamine blocking agents (phenothiazines, and most antipsychotics) can attack psychotic thought itself. This is much more impressive to me than the ability of other…
In Corona time many people got time to think about which way to go with their faith. Now more people feel the need to go back to the shul after all the lockdowns.
Forbes, April 28, 2022 Event Quite a few billionaires born in Russia have taken advantage of the “Law of Return,” otherwise known as “Aliyah,” which grants automatic entry and passports to any Jew, or anyone who can prove they have at least one Jewish grandparent.

Iran controls the trouble in and around Israel. It literally activates and ferments violence when it wants to. Hamas & Hezbollah don’t do anything without their paymasters say so.
Israel has been forced to vote against Russia in recent weeks, which caused Russian anger. They are pointing to Israel’s own conflict. In other words – keep out of our war or your own war might begin.
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 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.
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,
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,
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.
