BUILD THE KINGDOM OF GOD HERE ON EARTH – PART 2

BUILD THE KINGDOM OF GOD HERE ON EARTH! Part 2 I was finishing my last writing by talking about relationships. God’s kingdom is built on relationships. The first relationship was between a man and God and then it continued with the relationship between a man and a woman and their relationship with God. An intimate relationship between a man and a woman created children. We then hear about the relationship between parents and children and then between brothers and sisters. Jealousy came in ...

Build the kingdom of God here on earth

BUILD THE KINGDOM OF GOD HERE ON EARTH! Part 1 Why do we Christians live here on earth when it is much better to come to heaven? The apostle Paul also asked himself the same question, but he chose to stay here since he knew that God needed him here. What would this world look like without a single Christian here? The devil would rule alone then and the world would be full of evil and darkness. We are called to rule and reign. When God created Adam and Eve, He gave them an assignment. They ... (read more)

DIE TO YOURSELF AND LIVE FOR JESUS

DIE TO YOURSELF AND LIVE FOR JESUS. Many people are talking about the wrong processes of dying. I asked the Lord what I should write about and I really think that dying and living was the theme. I am totally dependent on the Holy Spirit since this is a difficult theme. We can start with John 12:20-27. The headline in my Bible is: The grain of wheat which dies and bears much fruit. Jesus is the best example of this headline. He stripped Himself of every personal desire. He left the glory in ... (read more)

JOSEPH – WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THIS STORY?

JOSEPH – WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THIS STORY?     The story about Joseph, the son of Jacob, starts I Genesis 37 and he dies in the 50th chapter. I was recently watching an American film about Joseph. It was made like a theater with living animals, song and dance. It was so alive and I learned more than before. I will retell the story and mention some thoughts that I get when I read this story from the Bible.   Jacob had twelve sons with different wives. Joseph and Benjamin had ... (read more)

THE SUPERNATURAL, PART 2

THE SUPERNATURAL   Part 2   I will continue to come with thoughts about this theme. I have been readings books about other religions and occult practices and these authors describe New Age, other religions, mindfulness and different meditations in detail. I think it is interesting to read these books, but I lack their knowledge. These are Christian books meant to inform us. I can only write a little about these things, but I hope enough to warn you. Last time I mentioned yoga. This ... (read more)

THE SUPERNATURAL, Part 1

THE SUPERNATURAL.   Part 1   The supernatural has drawn people like magnetism and it has frightened people at the same time. It has always been like that. I am writing about this theme since there is a lot of confusion about it. Some people think that everything supernatural comes from the devil while others do not believe in it unless they get a natural explanation. Sometimes people have difficulties knowing what comes from the devil and what is from God. I will write what I think ... (read more)

CHRIST CRUCIFIED, DEAD AND BURIED. CHRIST THE RISEN ONE.

CHRIST CRUCIFIED, DEAD AND BURIED. CHRIST THE RISEN ONE!     We are in the middle of Easter when this comes out. Easter is in my opinion the most important holiday. At the same time we must remember that without Christmas, there wouldn’t be any Easter. The most important man in history was born then. I do not want to minimize Pentecost either since we would have been very helpless without the support of The Holy Spirit. I would still say that Easter is my holiday. Easter is a ... (read more)

DO YOU HAVE A GOLDEN CALF AND WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?

DO YOU HAVE A GOLDEN CALF AND WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?     We can right away turn to Exodus chapter 32. The headline is called: The golden calf. Moses was on the mount of Sinai and received the Ten Commandments. He also received a lot of other instructions about sacrifices, how the tabernacle should be built and a lot of other rules and instructions. The people started mourning and thought that Moses was gone too long. They got impatient and gathered around the brother, Aron. The ... (read more)

DO YOU KNOW THE SHEPHERD?

DO YOU KNOW THE SHEPHERD?     I will be writing about Jesus as the Shepherd and I will be writing about him or her being your earthly shepherd. I think about one of the five gifts of the ministry. We can go to Ephesians 4:11 where Paul is saying that the Lord gave some to be apostles, some prophets, evangelists and others to be pastors or teachers. In a lot of translations we see the word shepherd instead of pastor. Today we talk about the shepherd. You can go back to Genesis 48:15. ... (read more)
