Schau nur auf den Herrn (Matthäus 14:30)
Ich besitze ein Andachtsbuch von Watchman Nee mit dem Titel „The Lord Is My Portion“ [„Der Herr ist mein Anteil“]. In der Lesung für den 22. Januar denkt Nee über Matthäus 14,30 nach, wo es heißt: Als er aber den starken Wind sah, fürchtete er sich, und da er zu sinken anfing, schrie er und […]
Get Ready to Update Your Church’s Statement of Faith
How is your church handling the latest cultural push to promote transgenderism and gender ideology? Put differently, how is it facing the ongoing deleterious effects of the sexual revolution? Does your church’s statement of faith reflect the new cultural dynamics? Hardin-Simmons University in West Texas seems to be headed in a more conservative direction. They […]
Ang Dramatikong Pagbaligtad Laban Sa Kasalanan (Roma 8:3)
Hindi ka ba naeenjnoy sa mga kwento na may “pagbaligtad ng kapalaran”? Ibig natin ang drama ng pagbabaligtad ng sitwasyon ng isang tao, mapabayani man o kalaban. Isipin mo ang Star Wars. Sa Revenge of the Sith, nang malapit nang manalo ang mga Jedi laban sa mga separatist, inutos ni Darth Sidious ang Kautusang 66, […]
Mental Disorders, Divorce, and Lordship Salvation
I was reading this blog about the connection between mental illness and divorce. That was certainly a key issue that led to my parents’ divorce. And if the letters sent to Rod Dreher are any indication, undiagnosed emotional or mental disorders might be part of the reason for the decline of many Christian marriages. How […]
Ginawa Ni Jesus Ang Hindi Kayang Gawin Ng Kautusan (Roma 8:3)
Hindi maganda ang kalagayan ng lipunan. Isang konserbatibong kaibigan ang nagrekomenda sa akin ng The Rule of Saint Benedict upang iligtas ang Kabihasnang Kanluranin mula sa pagwasak ng kaniyang sarili. “Ang lipunan ay naghihintay para isang bagong San Benedikto na tutulong sa ating matawid ang kaguluhang ito.” Sa tingin ko isasagot ni Pablo na ang […]
Wine Is a Sign (John 2:1-12)
When the prophets spoke of the coming Messianic age, they sometimes pictured it as a time that would be dripping with wine: “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all […]
Obsess Ka Ba Sa Iyong Guilt?
“Ang guilt ay unibersal,” sinulat ni Paul Tournier, isang Kristiyanong psychiatrist (Tournier, Guilt and Grace, p. 152). At ayon sa kaniya, maaari mong gawin ang alin man sa dalawang bagay: maaari mo itong supilin o kilalanin. Ang pagsupil sa iyong guilt ay “maaaring magdulot ng galit, paghihimagsik, katakutan at pag-aalala, pagkamatay ng konsensiya, isang lumalawak […]
Pewność zbawienia – w prosty sposób wyjaśniona
Co to znaczy być pewnym swojego zbawienia? To pytanie jest mi często zadawane. Ludzie chcą mieć pewność tego, ale często są zdezorientowani w tej kwestii. Czym jest ta pewność? Jak można ją posiadać? Na czym się ona opiera? Czy istnieje różnica pomiędzy prawdziwą a fałszywą pewnością zbawienia? Jeśli tak, to jak ta różnica wygląda? Te […]
Focar no Espírito significa ignorar o mundo?
Pergunta: Em relação ao seu blog sobre ter uma mente espiritual em Romanos 8:6, como você administra um negócio e avança sem pensar no lado terreno das coisas? A Bíblia diz: “Pois mesmo quando estávamos convosco, costumávamos dar-vos esta ordem: se alguém não quer trabalhar, também não coma (2 Ts 3,10). “Venha agora, você que […]
Jesus Gives Rest to the Weary (Matthew 11:28)
“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matt 11:28 NASB). If you are weary and feel burdened, Jesus invites you to come to Him for rest. He does not specify what kind of burden you must have, how heavy it must be, or how tired you must […]
