BUILD A SOLID FOUNDATION!

BUILD A SOLID FOUNDATION. I do not know if you have seen those many programs about building on television or the many storms, earthquakes and many other catastrophes in nature? In poor countries where they do not have enough money to build a solid and safe foundation, the catastrophes are worst. Lots of houses are falling down and people are buried underneath the ruins. I know of a Christian organization that specialized in building a solid foundation in case of a catastrophe in nature. ... (read more)

ARE YOU A CHILD OF GOD?

ARE YOU A CHILD OF GOD? I want to quote from John 1:12+13: “ But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name; who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” In Galatians 3:26 we read that we are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. In the letter to the Romans 10:9 it says in a little different way. It says that if you confess with your mouth the Lord ... (read more)

ARE WE CHRISTIANS SUPPOSED TO BE NEUTRAL?

ARE WE CHRISTIANS SUPPOSED TO BE NEUTRAL? When I was a young newly educated social worker many years ago, it was very popular to talk about being neutral. One should be neutral in raising one’s children and one should not talk about religion nor politic if one worked in an office run by the state or the community. Many of my colleagues had big pictures of a fighting fist on their office doors. They were socialists, communists or something similar. They insisted in being neutral, but ... (read more)

ARE YOU IN A CHURCH WITH COUNSELLING AND CARE?

ARE YOU IN A CHURCH WITH COUNSELLING AND CARE? God has created us with spirit, soul and body. He loves the whole human being, and He knows that all three parts belong together. If one part is suffering, the other two parts are also suffering. If one member of the Body of Christ is suffering, the other members should also suffer, but it isn’t always like that. Do you care if one of the members is suffering physically, psychically or spiritually? It is written several places in the Bible ... (read more)

WHAT DOES VACATION MEAN TO YOU?

WHAT DOES VACATION MEAN TO YOU? This writing will come out around the 1st of July and July is the most common month for vacation in many countries. As a pensioner I can choose vacation at any time, but I am a pensioner working 6-8 hours a day for the Lord and I therefore need some days off sometimes. Some people look forward to a vacation almost for a year while others find a vacation a difficult time. They might not have the money to do something exiting or to go far away. Some children ...

IF YOU LOVE JESUS, YOU KEEP TO THE WORD OF GOD.

IF YOU LOVE JESUS, YOU KEEP TO THE WORD OF GOD. These words have become so real to me lately. You will find them in John 14. Jesus says that you cannot love Him if you do not keep to the Word of God. Many of the discussions in the Body of Christ have to do with the willingness to take the Word seriously and do we want to follow it? I have to mention the discussion around homosexuality. I believe that it really isn’t a discussion about homosexuality, but about the Word of God. I have ... (read more)

HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY BOUNDARIES.

HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY BOUNDARIES. I will start by going to 1. Corinthians 14:33. It says that God is not an author of confusion, but of peace. Another translation says that God is a God of order. If you are in a place of chaos, you know that the devil has some influence there. A Christian man that I know recently refused a job that he was offered because he heard that it was chaos in the place. The Bible says that God is love and that we should walk in love. Some people would like to ... (read more)

YES WE LOVE THIS COUNTRY!

YES, WE LOVE THIS COUNTRY. Today I will write to you as a Norwegian, but the ideas I write about are relevant for all countries no matter where you live. The headline is taken from the first words in our Norwegian national anthem. How often do we use the word love? We might use it for our partner and our children, but how often do we use it when it comes to our country? I love our national anthem, and I might be moved to tears when I hear it. I believe that I have many good memories from ... (read more)

GIVE TO CAESAR WHAT BELONGS TO CAESAR.

GIVE TO CAESAR WHAT BELONGS TO CAESAR! It isn`t so often that I write about money and the economical aspect of one’s Christian life, but today I want to do that. In Norway and Sweden one must send the yearly income-document to the Tax Inspectorate around the first of May. I sent both to Norway and Sweden yesterday because I tax to both countries. I receive pension from Norway, but I live in Sweden and receive the same rights in Sweden as a Swede. When I was doing this, I remembered ... (read more)

EASTER MORNING QUENCHES THE GRIEF. Part 2

EASTER MORNING QUENCHES THE GRIEF Part 2 I know that Easter has passed in most countries in the world. It has been celebrated at different times in different countries. I feel that the content of Easter is the most important in our Christian history. I finished last time with the crucifixion of Jesus. He was hanging on a cross together with two other criminals. One was mocking Jesus and the other was asking Jesus if He could remember him when He came to His kingdom. Jesus was answering him: ... (read more)
