ARE YOU SEEING?   Some of you might think that I come with a stupid question now. I am not an optician, and I am not asking if you are blind or having some damages in your eyes, but I experience a lot of spiritual blindness in the Body of Christ. I experience that through my counselling as well in conversations with other Christians. Sometimes it seems like a total group of people have been blinded. At the end of chapter 13 in the first letter to the Corinthians we read that we now see ... (read more)

THE CREATIVE WORD.   We may go back to the first chapter in the Bible. We read in Genesis 1:2-5: The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. The God said: “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God created by speaking, but He had no chemical formulars or any other tools, but He had a mouth and ...

,JESUS SAID: I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE!   We read these verses in John 14:6. Jesus continued to say that no one comes to the Father except through Him. I have met people in New Age and just people in the world and they say they believe in God, or some say a Higher Power, but they do not believe that Jesus is the only way to God. Some of these say that they pray to God, but not in the name of Jesus. Jesus said that there is no other way. Before Jesus came and fulfilled His ... (read more)

DO YOU BELIEVE IN REVIVAL?   If you believe in revival, my next question would be: What do you do to get one? Wherever I go to Christian groups or churches, I hear that we have to pray for revival. I have heard this for years. Some are saying that revival is here, but we have to believe it and receive it. I have another question: What is revival? I have looked up the interpretation of the word. It means an awakening or a conversion. It might be individually or collectively. I think that we ... (read more)

ARE WE ABLE TO WAIT?   We have a proverb saying that those waiting for something good, is not waiting in vain. The fact is that many cannot wait till they receive the good things. I know of people who were longing for a partner to marry. They prayed, but it took some time before the wanted partner was there. Those that I know of wanted a Christian partner, but since it took so long time, they desperately were seeking for a non-believer. Others wanted a Christian, but chose the wrong one ... (read more)

DO WE LIVE IN THANKFULNESS?   The Letter to the Ephesisans 5:20 says that we should always give thanks for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. In James 4:7 we read that we should resist the devil and he will flee from us. I cannot thank God for what the devil is doing. The mistake that we might be doing is that we get so involved in his doings that we forget all the good things that God has done to us. I do believe that God sometimes allows the bad things to ...

DO NOT TAKE VACATION FROM GOD! Summer is a time of relaxation, a time for vacation. Many are having vacation for four or five weeks. Students might have two months. Some older students might work during the summer. June, July and August are used for vacation here in Scandinavia. The time for vacation might be different in other places of the world. Some younger students think that the vacation is too long, and they do not know what to do and some get bored. If you have grandparents, you might ... (read more)

GOD, THE FATHER.   To me God is the Creator. He has done a wonderful job creating everything that has life in it. Just think of all the plants, fishes and birds. He has created so many different kinds. When I think of the birds coming every spring to the same place and the same nest before they return flying back to the other side of the globe. God has created all the animals, and He has created you and me as man and women. Every little detail fits together. God is our Creator, but He is ... (read more)

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHEN YOU START GETTING OLDER?   When are you called an old person? I do not really know since I believe is has a lot to do with how one thinks and well one is. I remember my own fear for getting old when I was close to 60. My sister called me quite often and asked how I should celebrate my birthday and I changed the topic every time she asked. I went on a mission trip to Georgia a few weeks before I was turning 60. When I was there, I got a question about my age. I ... (read more)
