The importance of an historical Adam

“.... one cannot build a historical gospel on a non-historical Adam.”

“RubeRad”’s comment on John Byl’s blog here: http://bylogos.blogspot.com/2011/02/presbyterian-appeasement.html

Hidden potential - easy to miss it!

“Anyone can count the seeds in an apple... but only God can count the apples in a seed” – Robert Schuller

God's commands - deeper meaning

The Hebrew word for “command” in the commandments of God is tsav. The meaning of tsav is literally “attaching parts.” It means “hooks and nails” in our modern context; therefore, the commandments of God are the “attaching parts” that connect us to God. If we disobey the LORD, we are separated from Him and joined to the world. If we obey him, we are joined with Him and separated from the world.

Martin Luther and spiritual battle/ geestelike oorlogvoering

“Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved”.

“Dáár waar die stryd op sy hewigste is, word die lojaliteit van die soldaat getoets”.

Lausanne Kongres verklaring teen postmodernisme.

Julle onthou seker nog die Derde Lausanne Kongres wat verlede jaar in Oktober in Kaapstad vergader het, waar 4,200 evangeliese leiers van 198 lande bymekaar gekom het en waaroor ek ‘n kort stukkie hier geskryf het.

Hierdie Kongres, wat beskou word as die grootste en mees invloedryke instelling in evangeliese kringe vandag, het pas ‘n verklaring uitgereik waarin hulle uitdruklik verklaar dat hulle teen postmodernisme is.

Die baie besonderse verklaring wat ook ander geloofsaspekte aanspreek, kan hier gelees word:

This reminds me of the Philips translation of 2 Corinthians 4:9-10, where he also uses the expression we as Christians are “knocked down but not out” by life’s difficulties.

Cyclone Yasi, no loss of life in coastal cities

Praise God, no news of lives lost in coastal cities. Lots of damage though - see these banana trees.

CYCLONE YASI URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

“Tropical Cyclone Yasi a ‘Serious Threat’ to Queensland”, the reports say, and it is heading west from Vanuatu. It is expected to develop damaging winds around island and coastal communities between Cooktown and Yeppoon on Feb. 2, the weather bureau said. Please pray to God to calm the storm like Jesus did on the lake of Galilea.
