God remembering us

Remembering God
We feel it is so important to remember At the service today, brother Andy, talked about remembrance of us and of God remembering us.

Weeks with attention to love
Since we have a second ecclesia in Brussels, we have paid attention to the way in which an ecclesia or community can be built, or rather must be built. One cannot ignore the fact that to build a community a certain form of kinship or mutual brotherhood and love must be formed. With this science […]

De komst van Elia #3 Komt Elia vóór de wederkomst?
Velen zaten met de vraag: Wie zou er eerst komen: Elia of de Messias; en was Johannes de doper misschien de teruggekeerde Elia?
De komst van Elia #2 De dag des Heren en Johannes de doper
Vervolg van De komst van Elia #1 de Gezonden profeet Elia De dag des Heren Elia zou komen “voordat de grote en geduchte dag van God komt”. De uitdrukking “de dag des HEREN” betekent een tijd wanneer Jehovah Zich in de wereld zal manifesteren, gewoonlijk met oordeel. Zij is dus niet van toepassing alleen op […]
De komst van Elia #1 de Gezonden profeet Elia
Elia wiens naam betekent ‘voor wie Jehovah God is’. In het Grieks en het Nieuwe Testament is de naam Elias. Hij was de grote profeet die door wonderen en tekenen geweldig ijverde voor de zaak van zijn Heer Jehovah Die hij aanzag als de Enige Ware God. Hij vertrouwde op de verhoring van zijn gebed en is een van de meest merkwaardige personen uit het Oude Testament.

Getting more people going to follow the real Messiah
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? Looking at the world, being sad, noticing that so many people are misled by big institutions that claim to be the only right church, whilst they do not follow at all the Bible teachings, nor Christ his teachings and do […]
Foretold Messiah 5 Old Testament pointing to John the Baptist and to Immanuel, Jeshua the Christ
Bible prophecies do not deal only with the ancient past. They also accurately foretell events that are taking place in our day. But at the moment we focus at numerous prophecies preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures (commonly called the Old Testament) which long before the man was born told about events which would happen in his time and around him, his betrayal, humiliation, torture, execution, death, and burial. From those writings of the Old and New Testament nobody should have doubts who that man is who is called Immanuel, the son of man and Messiah, born out of the root of Jess in the tribe of king David.
Foretold Messiah 4 From the seed of Noah and Abraham
In Scripture, all things are directed towards a man who was a servant of servants, in whom people should come to have faith. First we saw the connection with Eve and her seed, and in this article you may see the connection with Abraham.
Foretold Messiah 3 Bruised one to be taken into heaven as a servant and son of God
Already in the Old Testament we find the focus on a son of man who is called the son of God, who shall be the most pure set apart (holy) servant of God who was been told about in the Garden of Eden, to be the one bruised.
Foretold Messiah 2 a Voice giving The Word to His servants
Many Old Testament writers wrote about the prophet to come, about whom is spoke in the book of Moses and who shall be the special “Seed of a woman” given by God and who will bruise Satan’s head whilst his heel would be bruised with nails on the wooden stake.

Uncovering wrong sayings and unbiblical teachings
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? In Christendom there are lots of denominations but oh such a few, keep really to the biblical teachings. A lot of churches claim they are the only right church. In case they would follow all the teachings of Christ Jesus, […]
Those grafted in again
The apostle Paul wrote about the dispersion, the dispersed House of Israel. They had been “without covenant“, but Paul was sent out to recover them. So they were “grafted in again“ (Romans 11/23). Or, Grafted back in“. If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been […]
Cart ministry is back
Rob Mac wonders when the door to door will return? He wrote this a while back, and went sharing it again.

Many Jehovah’s Witnesses have developed ‘creative’ ways of counting their time doing this work, and many strategies for avoiding actually […]
Religion and believers #14 Church and state
Constantine wanted unity in his realm, and his call in 325 C.E. for a council of his bishops at Nicaea, located in the Eastern, Greek-speaking domain of his empire, across the Bosporus from the new city of Constantinople was in a certain way his goal to achieve some agreement by which many could live. Constantine […]
Religion and believers #13 Superstition, misunderstanding and hatred leading up to the Nicene Creed
Superstition, misunderstanding and hatred caused the Christians trouble for many generations, and governmental repression they had to suffer occasionally, as a result of popular disturbances. No systematic effort was made by the imperial authorities to put an end to the movement until the reign of the Roman emperor (249–251) who fought the Gothic invasion of […]
