Thanks to a combination of infection and vaccinations Britain might be nearer the end of its pandemic than any other country in Europe, whilst those countries are having to face a new more dangerous variant, called B.1.1.529 — which has been identified in South Africa. At present in the UK there are about 1,000 deaths […]
Dierbare God, vandaag gaan onze gedachten speciaal uit naar de vele meisjes en vrouwen die in deze wereld worden geconfronteerd met ongelijkheid, maar erger nog met geweld tegenover hen. … Geef die vrouwen de moed om elke onrechtmatige daad tegen hen kenbaar te maken zodat zulke ontoelaatbare gedragingen ook mogen gestraft worden. […]
Dear God, today our thoughts go especially to the many girls and women in this world who face inequality, but worse, violence towards them. … Give these women the courage to speak out about any unlawful act against them so that such unacceptable behaviour may also be punished. We pray, above all, for […]
Too often people forget that we have to come to a world where everybody, male and female, is respected and regarded on equal grounds. We are all human beings as one body, and violence, even against one person, affects the whole of human society. But at the moment in still too many countries the women are second cast and used as an object.
Monica Pius Pius shared a memory. A faithful friend is the medicine of life. And the greatest friend is our Master, whose commandments are life. Each today, well-lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and each tomorrow a vision of hope. Look, therefore, to this one day, for it and it alone is able to […]
Boris Johnson warned Vladimir Putin against making a “tragic mistake” as tensions rise on the border between Russia and Ukraine. The Prime Minister appearing at the Commons Liaison Committee, was asked about the problems between Belarus and Poland and the situation in Ukraine. Thousands of migrants, mainly from the Middle East, have been amassing at the Belarus border with Poland for months. Brussels […]
What do you think of this? “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” (Psalm 51:17) This verse is so familiar to us that we may not really think about it very much any more. But let’s take a minute and actually think. Is […]
Na zijn ophanging aan het stuk hout en opstanding is de Nazarener meesterverteller Jezus Christus naar zijn Vader, in de hemel gegaan. Dit was een vervulling van profetieën in het Oude Testament en van de heer Jezus zelf: “Aldus luidt het woord van de HERE tot mijn Here: Zet u aan mijn rechterhand, totdat Ik […]
This century may go into the history books by its aim to overcorrect. Today we are not any more allowed to use lots of words which were quiet normal and not offensive in the previous century. Today one has to be very careful how one wants to express oneself. Today several youngsters consider it transphobic […]
From Bible in the news Honest Reporting recently rounded off an examination of instances of YouTube banning content by saying: “To paraphrase a quote wrongly attributed to Orwell but which resonates strongly today as we seemingly edge towards the dystopian society that he predicted: ‘In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a […]
Aanvullend op de twee voorgaande berichten wensen wij graag u te verwijzen naar een artikel van “Baars”, die zich (zoals vele anderen) dingen afvraagt. In “Het vroegere Judea” haalt hij aan hoe de Romeinen er in sloegen de Joden uit Palestina te verdrijven. In het jaar 135 doopte keizer Hadrianus Judea (Ioudaía – Yəhuda) om […]
De laatste weken heeft het er weer eens gestoven in het land waar eigenlijk vrede zou moeten overheersen. Eigenlijk is de miserie begonnen door provoserende moslims. Het uitdagen van de Israëlische soldaten leidde dan weer tot wat eigenlijk in geen enkel land zou mogen gebeuren, namelijk de bestorming van een gebedshuis. Het is totaal ongehoord […]
Uit de Oude doos: 2008 Er was een tijd dat Israël zich moeiteloos staande kon houden tegenover de omringende Arabische wereld. De oorlogen die het moest voeren om te overleven in 1948, 1967 en 1973 werden betrekkelijk gemakkelijk gewonnen, ondanks de numerieke overmacht van hun vijanden. Dat werd in de daarop volgende conflicten geleidelijk moeilijker, […]
Gelooft u het getuigenis van God, zijn Zoon en zijn dienaren? God openbaart Zich als de Heilige, die de zonden niet kan verdragen en deze veroordeelt. De meeste mensen vrezen God echter niet. Hun denken en doen is gericht op het voldoen aan hun begeerten. Door deze aardse, vleselijke gezindheid is de mens onheilig en […]
According to Catholic Catechism, the Catholic Church professes to be the “sole Church of Christ,” and that all duly consecrated bishops have a lineal succession from the twelve Apostles. In particular, the Bishop of Rome (the Pope), is considered the successor to the Apostle Peter, from whom the Pope (so called) derives his supremacy over […]
When we look around us we have the impression that there are a lot of folks who seem to come from another planet where they do not know that there is a dangerous virus going around this globe. They do not take any precautions to avoid the virus spreading further. In case much […]

I am troubled and you must be too The world is troubled and all its people too. I look around and its chaos everywhere. I close my eyes and there is chaos everywhere. She yells, some shout. They scream, they cry. They exhibit their chaos, Decorate it with jewels of…

The world grappling with the ruinous results of Climate Change, everyone is talking about adopting sustainable strategies, but, Are we doing enough? We had high expectations from COP26 – they met, some slept. All they did was preach the same words we have been screaming for years! “It’s Doomsday! We…

It has been a long time since I last posted. I had a piece nearly ready to go and then Austria’s political crisis and resignation of the Generation Y Chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, rendered it all out of date without a significant rewrite. And I will concede that…
Margaret E. Atwood sometimes thinks she has come from a different planet, so odd does she sometimes find the practices of Homo sapiens, our common species — you’d be forgiven for thinking that a Quaker is quite a different thing from a Russian Orthodox patriarch, and that an Ethiopian Copt is entirely distinct from a […]
Britain’s most senior military officer has warned there is “a greater risk” of an accidental war with Russia now than at any time during the Cold War. In an eve of Remembrance Sunday interview with Times Radio, General Sir Nick Carter, chief of the defence staff, said the threat of “escalation leading to miscalculation” was “a […]
I just want to give all you eschatologists a heads up. Don’t forget what Jesus said in John 16:13, “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose […]

In Europe we regularly see some films and news clips that portray American culture, giving us the impression that there is still a big problem with the attitude of white Americans opposite black people. The Writer Erin a writer on Tarot, Soul, Spirituality, Culture, and Mytho-tainment, believes that Living in America is a very interesting […]
