Very old Dutch Bible, first page

This is one of the beautiful plaques in our precious family Bible:

Very old Dutch "Staten Bijbel"

This Bible has been in our family for centuries, handed down through the years after Jan van Riebeeck came to the Cape of Storms in 1652:

Deadly shooting rampage at a Connecticut elementary school ...

Will these tender children’s minds ever be able to come to terms after all this??

Obama calls for meaningful action after school shooting....

Obama calls for meaningful action after school shooting.... Billy Graham's words still ring in my ears, spoken over the TV long ago while he visited South Africa: "If we can only have the Ten Commandments against the walls of our classrooms, so that our children may know: thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill..." - it is AGAINST THE LAW to do that in the USA!!! God is a Gentleman - He is not obtrusive - He leaves places where He is not welcome ... http://mg.co.za/article/2012-12-15-obama-calls-for-meaningful-action-after-school-shooting

BELHAR geweeg ... nuwe boek, 18 skrywers

“Briek-los oppad na die waterval, en hoe nader hulle kom, hoe harder roei hulle!” sê ‘n vriendin van my vanoggend, n.a.v. RSG se onderhoud met Prof Piet Strauss oor hul nuwe boek “Belhar Geweeg”. Is die NGK op kruispad? vra die aanbieder. Ja, daar kan groot probleme vir die kerk wees, antwoord prof Piet. Maar luister, dit wil hulle nie – waterval , hier kom ’n boot......

Afgekordon-- “Cordon sanitaire”... Asof ons een of ander aansteeklike siekte het.... my Nederlandse man het my op hierdie uitdrukking gewys, wat op ’n stadium in Nederland in die politiek gebruik is. Hy sê dit is wat met ons gedoen word deur ons te verhoed om ons stemme op plekke soos die NG kerk se Facebook te laat hoor. CORDON SANITAIRE: (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Cordon sanitaire (French pronunciation: [kɔʁdɔ̃ sanitɛʁ]) — or quarantine line — is a French phrase that, literally translated, means "sanitary cordon". Though in French it originally denoted a barrier implemented to stop the spread of disease, it has often been used in English in a metaphorical sense to refer to ATTEMPTS TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF AN IDEOLOGY DEEMED UNWANTED OR DANGEROUS…..

Koos du plessis se gedig Gebed

“Wat ek is, is net genade. Wat ek het, is net geleen.” (Uit Koos du plessis se gedig “Gebed”) Soveel Bybelse waarhede hier, dit kan maar gerus in die Liedboek kom! Gebed Laat my nooit die grond verlaat nie. Laat my in U skadu bly. Gee dat elke aardse vreugde en vrees, eindelik nietig word vir my. Elke afdraai paadjie ken ek. Elke keer het ek verdwaal. Elke keer het u my iewers kom haal. Maak dit Heer, die laaste maal. Elke dag is ’n gedagte. Elke kamer net gehuur. Elke aardse droom van rykdom en roem, net ’n skadu teen die muur. Wat ek is, is net genade. Wat ek het, is net geleen. Eindelik smag ek na U waters van rus. Lei my, Heer, vanaand daarheen.

Homosexuality: "What is at stake is the gospel itself , Jesus' power to save..."

Homosexuality: “The issue is bigger than that - what is at stake is the gospel itself ; Jesus’ power to save” , says Philip Rosenthal.

“Is this just about homosexuality? No. Is the issue about sexuality in general? No. The issue is bigger than that. What is at stake is the gospel itself: Jesus power to save. Our right to proclaim it. The definition of sin. What is the message of the gospel? Subtly... step by step.. the gospel is being eroded. And the gospel is an issue for which we must be prepared to suffer unpopularity and if necessary die. When Paul rebuked Peter in Galations 2:11 the issue that let him to write that blisteringly angry letter was not just circumcision or even Jewish-Gentile race relations. The issue was the gospel. Paul didn't get madly upset about the circumcision issue until people started linking it to a false gospel - and that is what we have here too - the argument that Jesus cannot save people.

Why evolution is inconsistent with the Bible

Why evolution is inconsistent with the Bible
It impacts upon:
(a) the truthfulness of the three foundational chapters for the entire Bible (Genesis 1 – 3),
(b) belief in the unity of the human race,
(c) belief in the ontological uniqueness of human beings among all God’s creatures,
(d) belief in the special creation of Adam and Eve in the image of God,
(e) belief in the parallel between condemnation through representation by Adam and salvation through representation by Christ,
(f) belief in the goodness of God’s original creation,
(g) belief that suffering and death today are the result of sin and not part of God’s original creation, and
(h) belief that natural disasters today are the result of the fall and not part of God’s original creation.

Your Children are not Your Children

From Kahlil Gibran’s “The prophet”:
"They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday."

The Name of 'Jesus'

This name ‘Jesus’ is above EVERY OTHER name (Eph. 1:20) (Phil 2:9)
We are justified by the name of Jesus. (1 Cor. 6:11)
We are saved ONLY by the name of Jesus. (Acts 4:12)

The Names of God (continued)

“ In Scripture, a person’s name identified them and stood for something specific. This is especially true of God. Naming carried special significance. It was a sign of authority and power. This is evident in the fact that God revealed His names to His people rather than allowing them to choose their names for Him.”
(Read it here: http://bible.org/article/names-god)

(1) Elohim: The plural form of EL, meaning “strong one.” It is used of false gods, but when used of the true God, it is a plural of majesty and intimates the trinity. It is especially used of God’s sovereignty, creative work, mighty work for Israel and in relation to His sovereignty (Isa. 54:5; Jer. 32:27; Gen. 1:1; Isa. 45:18; Deut. 5:23; 8:15; Ps. 68:7).

Compounds of El:

El Shaddai:“God Almighty.” The derivation is uncertain. Some think it stresses God’s loving supply and comfort; others His power as the Almighty one standing on a mountain and who corrects and chastens (Gen. 17:1; 28:3; 35:11; Ex. 6:1; Ps. 91:1, 2).

El Elyon: “The Most High God.” Stresses God’s strength, sovereignty, and supremacy (Gen. 14:19; Ps. 9:2; Dan. 7:18, 22, 25).

El Olam: “The Everlasting God.” Emphasizes God’s unchangeableness and is connected with His inexhaustibleness (Gen. 16:13).

Brandpunte in die NHKA

Neels Jackson in vandag se Beeld: http://www.beeld.com/In-Diepte/Nuus/Stryd-oor-sewe-punte-20120611

Ek dink die berig in die Beeld oorvereenvoudig die kwessie, en bring mens onder ‘n wan-indruk, soos gesien word in die laaste sin:

“Dit was eers nadat die besluit teen die teologiese regverdiging van apartheid geneem is en onrus losgebars het dat die steedsHervormers met dié teologiese besware na vore gekom het.”

Hierdie NHKA-debat het ‘n laaaang aanloop. So vroeg as 1995-6 het beswaarstemme al opgeklink. Ongelukkigheid oor van die sewe punte het toe al voorgekom. Oor ‘n ongepubliseerde stuk “Eietydse getuienis op Hervormingsdag “ word die volgende geskryf: (sien kommentaar)

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

THE NAMES OF GOD

Elohim - My Creator
El Elyon - Most High God (Sovereign Over All)
Adonai - My Lord, My Master
El Roi - God Who Sees
El Shaddai - God Almighty
Jehovah Ezer - The LORD our Helper
Jehovah Jireh - The LORD Will Provide
Jehovah Rapha - The LORD our Healer
Jehovah Roi - The Lord is My Shepherd
Jehovah Sabaoth - LORD of hosts
Jehovah Mekeddeshem - LORD Who Sanctifies
Jehovah Nissi -The LORD Our Banner
Jehovah Rapha - LORD Who Heals
Jehovah Shalom - The LORD our Peace
Jehovah Shammah - The LORD is There

The answer to each call is “Christ”

“Let your passion to explain become a passion to know Christ...Let your passion to be right become a passion to honor Christ...Let your passion to heal become a passion to give hope...” (Larry Crabb, in Finding God p.195).

Miriam, the sister of Moses

“Miriam is regarded as a hero, not because of her own greatness, but because she rested in faith for years and years and years, and her faith was rewarded, and her hope was realized. And she sang her songs--sing to the Lord for He has triumphed gloriously.”

Mirjam die profetes, suster van Aäron, het 'n tamboeryn gevat en al die vroue het met tamboeryne agternageloop en gedans. Mirjam het vir hulle voorgesing: “Sing tot eer van die Here omdat Hy hoog verhewe is. Perd en ruiter het Hy in die see geslinger.” (Eks 15 verse 20-21)

Vervlakking in die teologie?

Dit woel maar by die “Drie Susters kerke” , lyk dit my….
Dit is interessant dat daar oral in kerke besorgde stemme opgaan oor liberale tendense. Veral in die Hervormde kerk is die naweek ernstige stappe geneem, lees in die Volksblad hier:
http://www.volksblad.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Spanning-binne-kerk-bereik-breekpunt-20120603

’n Status confessionis is verklaar, waarvan een van die punte juis gaan oor die verlakking van die teologie.

Die Christen en politiek

In die “ou”Suid-Afrika was daar spottend na die NG kerk verwys as die “regering in gebed”.

Intussen het dinge baie verander in ons land. Het geloofsgroepe nog hoegenaamd ’n sê in die politiek van die land? Hoe kan die kerk in die algemeen en lidmate in besonder ’n rol speel in die politiek? Of moet hulle glad nie betrokke raak nie?

Tussen Hemelvaart en die uitstorting van die Heilige Gees....

Onder die opskrif “ Pinkstersiklus” staan daar op die webwerf van Lytteltonoos ( http://www.lytteltonoos.org.za/kerkjaar/ ) die volgende:

“Die Pinkstersiklus loop uit op die Koninkrykstyd. God se koninkryk breek in hierdie wêreld in deur die geboorte van Jesus die Seun van God, sy lewe, sy sterwe, sy opstanding, en die uitstorting van sy Gees. So kom die kerk, Jesus se liggaam op aarde tot stand. Dit is die kerk se taak om tekens van hierdie koninkryk in die wêreld op te rig. Koninkrykstyd is ‘n tyd waarin daar klem gelê word op die taak en roeping van die kerk van Christus. Die kerk leef uit die krag van die Kersgebeure, die Paasgebeure en die Pinkstergebeure.”

Sondag herdenk ons Pinksterdag - laat ons fees vier!

Koos du plessis se “GEBED”
Laat my nooit die grond verlaat nie.

Laat my in U skadu bly.

Gee dat elke aardse vreugde en vrees,

eindelik nietig word vir my.

Elke afdraai paadjie ken ek.

Elke keer het ek verdwaal.

Elke keer het u my iewers kom haal.

Maak dit Heer, die laaste maal.

Elke dag is ‘n gedagte.

Elke kamer net gehuur.

Elke aardse droom van rykdom en roem,

net ‘n skadu teen die muur.

Wat ek is, is net genade.

Wat ek het, is net geleen.

Eintlik smag ek na U waters van rus.

Lei my Heer vanaand daarheen.

i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me, poem by E. E. Cummings i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Plaas Dwaalleer ‘n kerk se toekoms op die spel?

Dr TC Breitenbach, hier op sy blog: http://waterswaarrusis.blogspot.com/2012/05/dwaalleer-plaas-kerktoekoms-op-die-spel.html Dwaalleer plaas kerktoekoms op die spel 'n Soldaat wat weier om te veg; 'n geneesheer om 'n siekte-epidemie te bestry, en iemand wat armsgevou sy buurman se huis sien brand, dui op growwe pligsversuim - indien nie verraad - onder kritieke omstandighede wat dringende handeling noodsaak. Dit is presies die posisie van sommige hedendaagse predikante wat, ten spyte van hul legitimasie-eed - waarvolgens hulle onderneem om alle dwaalleer te bestry - afsydig staan daaromtrent. Daar heers 'n stryd in NGKerk-geledere waarvan lidmate én predikante, met weinig belangstelling buite die eie gemeentegrense, nie veel van sal weet nie. Dié stryd sentreer rondom die invoering van misleidende dwaalleer soos blyk uit, onder meer, algemeen sinodale besluitneming, boeke, geskrifte en uitsprake van kerkleiers in openbare beriggewing en radiodebatvoering. Die Bybel waarsku ons teen dwaalleraars en hul misleidende dwaalleer soos ons dit vandag in Bybel- en Belydenisskrifbotsende uitsprake aantref. Dit is vanselfsprekend dat kerklike dwaalleer herken, vertolk, benader en hanteer sal word ook teen die agtergrond van Bybelprofesieë. Profesievervulling moet ons juis wakkerskud uit 'n geestelik doodse slaaptoestand. Waarom wys leraars nie dié dwaling uit in die lig van eindtydse Skrifwaarskuwings, en soos hulle onderneem het, nie? Waarom swyg hulle? In sy artikel, "Waarom Calvinistiese Kerke nie die Profesieë Verkondig nie" (02.12), sê prof. Johan Malan dat verskeie kerke nooit die soeklig op Bybelse eindtydprofesieë laat val nie. Hy skryf dit toe aan 'n verkeerde teologiese oriëntasie, vanweë Augustinus en Calvyn, wat nie die letterlike vertolking van eindtydse profesieë aanvaar nie. Hy sien min hoop vir dwalende kerke om self te reformeer, omdat die geestelike leiers "nie oop is vir oortuiging deur persone wat deur hulle as leke beskou word nie." Met sy betrokkenheid by dwaalleer, plaas die NG Kerk sy toekoms op die spel

die Mulder: Soekend vars nagedink oor ons liggaamlike opstanding

’n Pragtige, sielsverheffende stuk oor die opstanding van Jesus - - Dankie, dankie DANKIE my Hemelse Vader, wat so ryklik in my Here, Jesus Christus se opstanding voorsien het! Vir my is hierdie stuk áángrýpend mooi! Terwyl ek lees, kom daar by my ’n toenemende nuuskierige opgewondenheid, ’n blye verlange na dié dag wanneer ek “beklee” gaan wees met wat ons Vader in Sy Wysheid bedoel het my “wese” sal wees, wanneer my liggaam-saadjie met heerlikheid (soos wat ek in my wildste drome nie kan voorstel nie!) beklee gaan word. Dit is loshande die mees “up-lifting” stuk wat ek in my lewe gelees het – dit voel of ek sweef hier waar ek voor my rekenaar sit en lees. Dit herinner my aan iets moois wat prof Daniël Louw geskryf het, wat vir my so geraak het, dat ek dit neergepen het: “Vir die Christelike lewensgevoel is elke oggend se opstaan na die nag se slaap ‘n eskaton in die kleine. Elke nuwe dag is ‘n uitdaging aan die gelowige om in sy verwerking van sin – binne die ruimte van die kerk – ‘n teken op te rig van die komende ryk van God. Binne hierdie eskatologiese perspektief is troos as bystand in smart, vermindering van leed, bestryding van onreg, verbering van die wêreld en opheffing van mens-onterende diskriminasie, ‘n pastorale verantwoordelikheid. Elke aand bring vir die Christelike lewensgevoel die ondekking: die eskaton in die groete is nog nie! (1985.

“Affirming the Biblical Adam” (Prof. John Byl)

“Affirming the Biblical Adam” (Prof. John Byl) Onder die opskrif “Affirming the Biblical Adam” het prof. Dr. John Byl ‘n interessante uitdaging Read here: http://bylogos.blogspot.com/2012/04/affirming-biblical-adam.html) Hy gee twee stellings wat hy sekere mense in die Reformed Academic forum (met wie hy al geruime tyd in debat is), uitdaag om te aanvaar: A. The Bible and the Reformed Confessions clearly teach (1) that evolution played no role in the origin of Adam and Eve, who had no creaturely ancestors but were created directly by God, Adam from dust and Eve from his side, and (2) that Adam and Eve were the first two humans, from whom all other humans--past and present--descended. (Gen.1-4; 1 Tim.2:13-14; Belgic Confession Art.5, 7, 14, 15, 16; Lord's Day 3; Canons III/IV Art.1-3). en: B. Reformed believers should reject as false any scientific theory or view of history that postulates an evolutionary origin of man or denies that all humans came from one initial human pair.(Belgic Confession Art.29: The true church rejects all things contrary to the Word of God). Ek wonder hoe evolusioniste dié uitdaging sal vaar . . .
