DO YOU LOVE YOUR COUNTRY?   My question is coming now because Norway is celebrating its national day on the 17th of May and I am Norwegian. On that day I am more Norwegian than any other day during the year. I celebrate the 17th of May no matter where I am in the world. I am actually quite emotional on that day. It is enough with a verse from the national hymn or the tunes from a brass band and I might start crying. I must have some positive memories since I react so emotionally on that ... (read more)

IT IS SPRING.   The month of April is a month of great changes. Remember that I live in Sweden. This year it has changed from heavy snowing till 20 degrees last Saturday. One could enjoy sitting outside in the sun then. A couple of days later we had a cold wind and only a few degrees. In spite of all these changes we can still see some flowers coming up from the ground and I believe that some leaves will be visible on the trees in only a few days, depending on where in Sweden you live. I ... (read more)

IT IS FINISHED! We have just finished celebrating Easter here in Scandinavia. We are often sharing Communion on Maunday Thursday. Jesus instituted the Communion when He ate the last Easter meal with His disciples. He said that the bread was His body and the vine His blood. We are not eating His body, nor do we drink  His blood, but it is a symbol of His suffering for our sins. He gave His body for our sake and His blood was running for our sake and the vine is like His blood. Jesus was saying ... (read more)

ABORTION   A lot of things might be aborted, but I will start writing about all the children that are aborted all over the world every day. Abortion is a huge political question, but in reality it is a spiritual, moral and legal issue. I have seen programs on television where doctors have said that a child is not a child before it has come out of the womb of the mother. A woman cannot give birth to something that is dead and then it becomes alive. There are times when the child dies in the ... (read more)

WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE ARE ACCUSED? Who is accusing us and why do we get accused? Are the accusations true or are they false and full of lies? There is a difference between accusations and being corrected. Some people think that they are accused when they haven’t managed a task they should have. Parents are suppose to raise children. They should praise their child when he or she does something good, but they must also say something if the child is doing something wrong. That is correcting the ... (read more)

ARE THE INVISIBLE WORLD INVISIBLE?   For whom is the invisible world invisible? There are lot of things that we human beings cannot see with our eyes. Next question is: What do we mean when we say the invisible world? I think of the spiritual world that is influenced by God and the devil. There are lot of things in the ocean as well as in the atmosphere and in our bodies that are invisible, but that is not what I will write about today.                           I ... (read more)

LET THY KINGDOM COME AND LET THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.   If you have been a Christian for some time, you will recognize these words from the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples to pray, the prayer we call “Our Father”. We can read this in Matthew 6:7-14. We cannot read a lot about heaven in the Bible, but it does say that there is no sin nor any sickness there. Satan was originally leading the praise and worship in heaven, but then he got jealous and he and one ... (read more)
