The Telegraph Frontpage for Thursay 2023 June 01
By Daniel Hardaker An increasingly vocal cohort of Conservative MPs are urging the Prime Minister to scrap inheritance tax, a move that The Telegraph is supporting. Meanwhile, two people have died and a man has been arrested following an incident off Bournemouth pier. By Sam Hall Good evening. A man has been arrested on suspicion […]
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is spreading to Russian territory
Whether or not Ukraine is behind the recent attacks on Russian soil, it will not change the fact that the war is now starting to spread to both states.
If you thought the electoral appeal of populism was on the wane, think again.
If you thought the electoral appeal of populism was on the wane, think again. Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s victory in yesterday’s presidential runoff in Turkey is the latest evidence of its staying power. He extended his 20-year rule despite a cost-of-living crisis, a slumping currency and public anger over the bungled relief effort following February’s […]
World awaits the draft of a UN treaty on plastic
Negotiators expect to have a draft at the end of this round of talks after agreeing last December to develop a legally binding deal on plastic pollution by 2024.
Chris Evans comments for 2023 May 29
Dear Reader, Inflation remains rampant in Britain at 8.7pc, still in excess of forecasts – leading many to question whether the Bank of England has the credibility to contain the situation. Szu Ping Chan and Melissa Lawford investigate just how high interest rates will need to rise to tame inflation, and just how devastating the […]

De wet die zijn doel vindt in Christus
Jezus heeft zich aan God aangeboden als een loskoopoffer en met zijn dood heft hij de weg opengemaakt voor niet Joden om ook tot God te kunnen komen als kind van God, en als vrijgestelde van de Wet.
A biblical answer to your question: following our belief that Jesus was not God from the beginning, but the Son of God
We were asked why we insist on seeing Jesus as the son of God and not God or god the son.
Een Bijbels antwoord op uw vraag: naar aanleiding van ons geloof dat Jezus niet God was van den beginne, maar de Zoon van God
Men vroeg ons waarom wij er aan houden Jezus als zoon van God te zien en niet als God of god de zoon.

US urges NATO vigilance for signs Russia could use nuclear weapon in Ukraine
April 18, 2023 event: The U.S. and its NATO allies must remain alert for signs Russian President Vladimir Putin could use a tactical nuclear weapon in a “managed” escalation of his war in Ukraine, the second-highest U.S. diplomat said on Tuesday. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman issued the warning during the opening session of […]
Can a person be too Christian to lead a modern political party
Christians in politics have been accommodated through a policy of don’t-ask, don’t-tell, but some argue endlessly about which bathrooms trans people should be allowed to use. Cisgender psychologists and sexologists pathologise the transgender experience according to their own biases, cisgender insurance executives arbitrarily what is and isn’t “necessary care” for transgender policyholders, and so on.

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”. 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 […]
Anti-Semitism: Dramatic rise in 2021, Israeli report says

Today’s Thought “I remember you in my prayers” (May 29)
The short letter of Paul to Philemon has some valuable lessons for us about spiritual relationships one with another. Paul is writing as “a prisoner of Christ Jesus” (verse 1) and Timothy is with him – and other visitors support him, “Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke” (verse 24). He tells Philemon, “I remember you in […]
Today’s thought “Yet I wholly followed the LORD” (May 28)
In Joshua 14 we read of the blessings received by a man who “wholly followed the LORD”. Caleb was the other man who with Joshua spied out the land and brought back an optimistic report; this was after the people had miraculously escaped from Egypt, been fed in the wilderness, built the tabernacle and received […]
Van God zijn en niet van uzelf
Door Jezus Christus zijn wij vrijgekocht en horen zo niet meer gebonden te zijn aan de wereld, maar aan God met wie wij één willen zijn en Hem toebehoren.
God en Zijn gezondene liefhebben leiden tot rechtvaardiging
Door zich als loskoper aan God aan te bieden kunnen allen die in Jezus willen geloven genieten van die vrijgave in Christus, maar dan wordt er van hen ook verwacht dat ze God, Jezus en hun naaste liefhebben.
Christus in Profetie #17: Psalm 72
Psalm 72 is een samenvatting van de beloften die aan koning David gedaan zijn. In de vorm van een gebed komen de zegeningen nar boven.

Ontmoeting met Ruth
Bij be kennismaking van bijzondere vrouwen in de Bijbel kijken we vandaag nar Ruth.
Overdenking: Gelukkig is de mens die vreugde vindt in de wet van God
Sommigen zullen zeggen dat Bijbellezen geen nut heeft omdat er gedeelten in staan die geen toegevoegde waarde hebben voor het geloof. David schreef dat hij meer van God begreep uit zijn studie van de wet, en zo is dat ook voor.
Het Evangelie van Johannes
Het evangelie van Johannes diept de boodschap van Christus heel ver uit en velen missen de symboliek en de verwijzingen naar het Oude Testament.
Het Evangelie van Lukas
Het centrale thema van het evangelie van Lukas is discipelschap. En gezien zijn nauwe banden met de bekeerde schriftgeleerde Paulus mogen we hier ook zeker diens inzichten verwachten aan te treffen. En inderdaad zien we verschillende koppelingen tussen de kennelijke bedoelingen van Lukas’ beschrijvingen en de leer die we vinden in Paulus’ zendbrieven. Lukas begint, […]
Effectief Bijbellezen: Het Evangelie van Mattheüs
Het Evangelie van Mattheüs is, net als dat van Marcus, een van de drie synoptische Evangeliën. Bijna alle gebeurtenissen die we bij Marcus vinden, vinden we ook bij Mattheüs. Maar Mattheüs voegt er veel leer en gelijkenissen aan toe, die we bij Marcus niet vinden. Het bevat daarmee ca. 60 % meer tekst dan dat […]

Vreugdeliederen opdat in ons wordt volbracht wat de wet van ons vereist en toekomst ons biedt
Belangrijk voor ons is te weten en te geloven dat wat de Wet niet vermocht is door het zoenoffer van Jezus mogelijk gemaakt.
Vreugdeliederen voor Jehovah Wiens glorie de hele aarde zal vervullen
Redenen om voor God te zingen, Hem te prijzen en eren.
Geloof stellen in en bidden tot dezelfde God als Die van Jezus
Jezus gaf het voorbeeld om tot God te bidden. Diegene waarin God welbehagen heeft, bidt ook tot Jehovah God.
Jezus tot God biddend
Zij die geloven dat Jezus God is zouden best eens nagaan in hoeveel Bijbelfragmenten Jezus zijn plaats tegenover God kenbaar maakt en hoe hij met God in communicatie gaat en ons leert bidden tot God zoals hij tot God bad.
Ook Jezus bad tot God en drukte zijn zorgen uit
In voorgaande artikelen kon u al lezen hoe Jezus als hij wonderen had gedaan, tegen de mensen zei dat ze niet hem, maar God moesten danken. (Één van de onmisbare tekenen dat Jezus niet God is.) Voor hem was God danken ook een vorm van gebed waaraan hij en zijn discipelen zich ook aan hielden. […]
