1 John 3 – We must be able to say with John: “Now are we the sons of God”, before we can join with him in the confidence that “when he shall appear, we shall be like him”. This is the declaration of truth contained in the name “Christadelphian” – not that all who acknowledge… Read More Today’s thought “The sons of God” (December 17)
When we hear the following part of Scripture we might doubt if it would be possible to tame our tongue. “7 For every {1 } kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed {2 } by {3 } mankind. {1) Gr nature 2) Or unto 3) Gr… Read More Today’s thought “No one can tame the tongue” (December 09)
A Christadelphian looking at today’s readings: 2 Samuel 19, Jeremiah 23 and Romans 10-11 I had a multitude of thoughts from today’s chapters. Jeremiah 23:20 was one verse that particularly struck us: “The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has executed and accomplished the intents of his heart. In the latter… Read More Today’s thought “In the latter days” (August 02)
Today’s thought “This defiles a person” (July 14) Most people are never conscious of the need for spiritual cleanliness; the Jewish religious leaders had made quite a ritual out of material and physical cleanliness, hands in particularly had to be constantly cleansed. In today’s chapter in Matthew we read a lesson of Jesus about this… Read More Today’s thought “This defiles a person” (July 14)
Did you notice that James 3 begins with a pretty serious warning, telling that teachers will incur a stricter judgment. The writer of the letter tells us that with that tiny thing in our head, our tongue, do we bless our Lord and our Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made… Read More Today’s thought “A serious warning for teachers” (December 09)
Today’s thought “As is proper among saints” (April 7) What a challenge it is to realise that all those who really believe in God and Jesus Christ are called “saints”. The Greek word translated as saint, means, “holy, set apart”. Saints set themselves apart from worldly, godless ways of thinking and doing. Paul’s letters are… Read More Today’s thought “As is proper among saints” (April 7)
In completing our reading of Habakkuk we noticed the ‘footnote’ that concludes the last verse, “To the choirmaster …” this indicates that the last three verses are a hymn or song. It has always been in our hymn book, yet, for many years we have rarely heard it sung. It seems to us that we… Read More Today’s thought “Yet I will rejoice …” (December 14)
Today’s thought “Sound an alarm for the day of Jehovah that comes” (November 19) Living in these godless days we may not forget the many prophesies, stories and parables which are told in the Book of books, the Bible. Ages after those writings were heard for the first time, we should be more aware that… Read More Today’s thought “Sound an alarm for the day of Jehovah that comes” (November 19)
“5 My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust. 6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth… Read More Today’s Thought “God’s salvation shall be for ever, and His righteousness shall not be abolished” (June 26)
Today’s thought “Inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God” (May 20) My thoughts today arose largely from the challenging words of Paul in the first two chapters of his second letter to the Thessalonians. Let us appreciate that when the lessons in God’s word are particularly challenging to us and we struggle to… Read More Today’s thought “Inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God” (May 20)
Today’s thought “He humbled himself by becoming …” (April 8) Paul, in the first two chapters of his letter to the Philippians we read today, draws some utterly powerful thoughts, that is, spiritually powerful, from his contemplation of the ‘mortal’ life of our Lord Jesus. Paul tells them to “Do nothing from selfish ambition or… Read More Today’s thought “He humbled himself by becoming …” (April 8)
The book of books or Bible is a special literary work. The writers of it did not write it in their own name, but let their pen be used by the Most High God their Maker. Forty different writers were used to bring the Words of God unto mankind — some were kings, prophets, priests,… Read More The real God
2018-19 starts without a meeting place in the region Brussel-Leuven and negative financial cyphers. We urgently look for people willing to help us building up our faith-community in this godless region.… Read More By the opening of the Season 2018-2019
Today’s thought “Cleansing of the leper under the Law” (March 7) Leviticus 14 is the chapter for today’s Bible reading. It is a chapter about the law concerning those who have infectious skin diseases, after they have been cleansed. In general terms leprosy is associated with sin. But notice that leprosy can be cleansed! Leprosy… Read More Today’s thought “Cleansing of the leper under the Law” (March 7)
A demographic isolation is what comes not only to the Belgian Christadelphians but to many of this faith group because there are just not enough Christadelphians all over the world. That is a fact we do have to live with. The small numbers of areas in which Christadelphians are located with congregations and the movement… Read More Being in isolation #5 Isolated Biblical figures and Confessional isolation
