Fundamenten van het Geloof 15 De Rechter en zijn oordeel
Gelooft u het getuigenis van God, zijn Zoon en zijn dienaren? Als Koning over de gehele aarde, is God niet alleen de Wetgever, maar ook de hoogste Rechter. In het Oude Testament maakt Hij Zich als zodanig bekend: “God is een rechtvaardig Rechter …” (Psalm 7:12) “… zou de Rechter van de ganse aarde geen […]
Moscow lists demands for defusing Ukraine tensions

A broken spirit
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.

Times of overcorrections
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 […]
We are living in a time of “universal deceit”
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 […]
Het vroegere Judea beschouwend
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 […]
Hamas en de Israëlische regering weer eens in conflict
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 […]

January 6: A Failed Apocalypse
Originally posted on Jared Stacy:
January 6th was a theological event. Just a month before, the Jericho March rallies in DC featured nationalist prayers. They declared God’s will was to reinstate Donald Trump.

Originally posted on Jared Stacy:
Kaepernick took a knee, Trump took a photo op. These moments are seared in the collective American consciousness. And both moments are unavoidably religious. Each deals with sacred symbols: a flag, a book of faith.? Both surface theological questions. Who or what do we worship? How should we live in…A History Of The Culture Wars

We are characters in the middle of the greatest story ever told. It looks like our world derives not only its being from some kind of transcendent foundation but also a kind of intricate meaning from it as well — much like a story derives meaning from an author.
