JESUS BROKE THE POWER OF DEATH.   When this is coming out, we are in the middle of Easter week. In Norway many start their vacation already on the 11th of April and many do not return to work before the 22nd of April. Every year there is a discussion since most people want to take off while some have to stay at work Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday during Easter week. I live in Sweden, and we do not keep Maundy Thursday as a holy day, but Norway does. We can every day read a story from the ... (read more)

TIME OF FASTING.   40 days before Easter is in many countries called a time of Lent. When one is fasting, one avoids eating or doing something one loves. The purpose is to get something that is better. The fasting time before Easter is often a time when one remembers what Jesus suffered and His resurrection. Both Christians and other religions are fasting. There are many different ways of fasting. Some avoid all eating. A few are also avoiding fluid. Others are entering into a Daniel fast. ...

DO WE USE OUR GODGIVEN AUTHORITY?   The prophet Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 53:4+5 what Jesus should do on the Cross hundreds of years before Jesus came to this earth. He carried our sicknesses and by His stripes we are healed. He took our pain, and the punishment was on Him so we could have peace. He took care of all the sins of the world and Colossians 2:14+15 says that He wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us. He disarmed principalities and powers and made a ...

GOD IS GOD IF EVERY COUNTRY IS DESERTET AND GOD IS GOD IF EVERY MAN WAS DEAD. I know that the headline sounds harsh and maybe a little morbid. It was actually Martin Luther who wrote a psalm with these words. When the world is in chaos or circumstances are very difficult, these words are coming to me. The world is in chaos right now. Changes are happening very quickly, especially with a new president in the USA. I do not have the ultimate answers of the final results but right now it looks ... (read more)

TIME FOR REVEALING.   I will start by reading 2. Peter 3:14. It says there that the Lord should find us without spots and we should be blameless. We are the Bride and Jesus is the Bridegroom. Jesus has given us His righteousness and I call that our white and spotless wedding dress. We know that the time is drawing closer to His return to earth even if we do not know the time. We are not supposed to know either. It seems like many Christians have been able to live in sin, covered by ... (read more)

EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE. This headline is taken from James 1:17. It continues to say that God is the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. God is good, He is only good. I am very simple in my faith, and I therefore say that everything good comes from God and everything bad comes from the devil. There is nothing good in or from the devil. Jeremiah 33:3 says that we should cry unto the Lord and He will answer us. Why do we cry unto so ... (read more)

WHAT IS OLD, IS OLD! I like to make cryptical headlines. It might make the readers curious and more eager to read what is underneath the headline. I am writing this sermon right before the New Year. 2024 has been a year full of wars and catastrophes around the world. We have been very close to a third world war this year. In Sweden they give regularly out a folder about how we should prepare ourselves for wars and difficult times. We should have enough water and sustainable food, candles and ... (read more)

O HAPPY CHRISTMAS OR?   I love the time before Christmas, during Christmas and after Christmas. I have a few times become stressed because of all the demands and everything that has to be done. I used to send a lot of Christmas cards and letters. The house must be in order and be decorated, the tree must be decorated, and I also keep the traditions of buying gifts. I do not bake a lot, but a few cakes must be made. This year I have a few family members with problems and some of the ... (read more)

ARE YOU ABLE TO SAY SORRY?   When my children were young, I thought them to say sorry if they had done something wrong. Children will make mistakes, and it might sometimes be part of their process of learning, but I now talk about the time when they should start understanding what is wrong and what is right. I believe that we as Christian parents should teach our children what is sinful and not. Some parents are making up their own rules and use the word sin without basing it on The Word ... (read more)
