GOD’s wonderful peace

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ”[2 Corinthians 1:2] Having greeted the Corinthians with the word grace, Paul now adds peace to his greeting.

GOD sal ons staande hou teen die woeste winde daar buite.

Dit is goed om so nou en dan jou basis te ondersoek. Ons raak maklik deur die wêreld ingetrek en dan vergeet ons waar ons anker is. Ons vergeet wie ons is en tree dan soms anders op, amper asof ons iemand anders is. Maar voor ons ons kom kry, voel ons leeg en drentel …

Skep ń atmosfeer vir presteer …

Hy het vir hom gesê: "Moenie bang wees nie, want my pa sal jou nie in die hande kry nie. Jy sal koning word oor Israel, en ek sal onder jou staan. Selfs my pa weet dat dit so is. (📖 1 Samuel 23:17 📖) Die miljardêr-sakeman Charles Schwab het ń treffende aanhaling: "Ek moet …

He shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague.

"Behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague." (Leviticus 13:13) Strange enough this regulation appears, yet there was wisdom in it, for the throwing out of the disease proved that the constitution was sound. This morning it may be well for us to see the …

Die Mier

Wat ‘n ergenis. Die somer is nog nie eers in wording nie en die miere is reeds bedrywig. Ons dorp sit nou al vir paar jaar met ‘n miere plaag. Almal kla en kerm en sê die dorp is op ‘n miernes gebou, maar ek dink dis landswyd ‘n plaag. Een Sondag na ete maak …

The Grace of Continuance

But Peter continued knocking  (Act_12:16) A Person Should Not Be Judged by a Single Action It is perilous to judge a person by one action. Life is too complex and intricate for that. It is as if one were to judge a countryside by a single and isolated clump of trees. Ruskin has it that …

Leef daar waar jy is

Elkeen van ons is geroep om God se Woord in die wêreld uit te dra. Sommige van ons werk voltyds as predikante en pastore. Die res van ons het ander beroepe of werksomstandighede. Sommige preek deur woorde en ander deur dade. Die feit bly staan: Elkeen van ons is geroep om Jesus aan die wêreld …

Die ysterpot

deur Tersia Gouws Rustyd. Sinoniem hiermee is skryftyd. As my gesin slaap kan ek skryf. Daar is soveel waaroor ek wil skryf, maar tyd is min en soos jul reeds weet – elke sekonde tel. Daar is nog iets wat sinoniem met rustyd is in ons huis. Storietyd. Daarom kies ek vandag ‘n storie as …

Hearing God’s Invitation

by Lysa TerKeurst “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” (Isaiah 30:21) I have to admit, I rush and miss God’s invitations a lot. I walked by a woman at church the other day. A quick stirring …
