Marcus Ampe presenting: Some View on the World
The countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian
In the 2023 World Watch List of the countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian, Nigeria jumped to sixth place, its highest ranking ever, from No. 7 the previous year. “Militants from the Fulani, Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and others conduct raids on Christian communities, killing, maiming, raping […]
Sierra Leone, China, Myanmar and Mbuji-May

Christopher ‘Chopper’ Hope Monday June 05, 2023 reflection
Afternoon, “I said I would stop the boats and I meant it,” Rishi Sunak said on Monday on a visit to Kent where he delivered an update on his pledge to ‘stop the boats’ at a press conference in Dover. Channel crossings “are now down 20 per cent compared to last year”, with numbers from […]

3 Juni: Wereld Fietsdag
Wist je dat in veel landen van de wereld fietsen helemaal niet zo vanzelfsprekend is? In België staan we er niet zo bij stil, maar we zijn uniek in de wereld. Elders is het verkeer vaak te druk of zijn de wegen te slecht. Toch zou het heel goed zijn als iedereen zou gaan fietsen. Goed voor […]

Since the starting of Covid-19 era, few new trends were started in the whole world like Work from Home, Online Meetings, Online Classes etc. Despite of passing over 3 years since those trends started, it seems to me that, many of us still aren’t using Online Meeting platforms efficiently. It’s…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.
The healthier foodstuff turns out to be quite the opposite
Eating or drinking ‘diet’ products is not as healthy as a lot of people might think.
What is enterovirus and how dangerous is it?
Enteroviruses, the most prevalent viruses in the world, are on the news agenda after health officials revealed a possible link to an “unusual” cluster of heart infections in south Wales and southwest England. They are a group of viruses that cause a number of respiratory illnesses, which are usually mild, as well as hand, foot […]

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.
Antizionisme is geen antisemitisme
Het kan niet genoeg herhaald worden: antizionisme is geen antisemitisme.
Zionisme

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 […]

Today’s thought “Pointing forward to Christ” (June 02)
The letter to the Hebrews shows how the Law of Moses pointed forward to Christ. Chapter 9 tells how he was prefigured in the tabernacle and its contents (Exodus 25–27), and in the calendar of feasts and sacrifices which Israel had to follow. And what was true for the tabernacle, the temporary shrine in the […]
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.

De wereld van Lucas #5 De wereld van de filosofen
Een interessante episode in het boek Handelingen is Paulus’ verblijf in Athene (Hand 17:15-34). Griekenland, en dan vooral Athene, had in de voorafgaande eeuwen een grote naam opgebouwd met zijn filosofen en filosofische stromingen. En hun namen en ideeën worden tot in onze dagen nog steeds in ere gehouden. In Lucas’ dagen was de glans […]
Hoe leest u: de Gelijkenis van de rijke en arme man
“Kind, bedenk wel dat jij je deel van het goede al tijdens je leven hebt ontvangen, terwijl Lazarus niets dan ongeluk heeft gekend; nu vindt hij hier troost, maar lijd jij pijn” In de gelijkenis van de rijke man en de arme Lazarus wijst Jezus op een misverstand waarin velen, ook in latere tijden, voortdurend […]
Opgaan naar Jeruzalem: De veldtocht van Sanherib
De veldtocht van Sanherib “In het veertiende regeringsjaar van koning Hizkia trok koning Sanherib van Assyrië op tegen de versterkte steden van Juda en nam ze in” (Jesaja 36:1). Het zal je maar gebeuren: je doet je uiterste best om naar Gods wetten te leven, en dan word je ineens met een schijnbaar onoplosbaar probleem […]
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.

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. […]
