Possibly a bright prospect for the Belgian community of Brothers in Christ

Revival for French-speaking Brothers in Christ At the hands of Duncan Heaster, the leader of Carelinks, our Belgian association suffered greatly in 2014 and subsequent years. The whole affair surrounding a dispute that was mainly between CBM and Mr D. Heaster totally undercut us when we tried to get all the different Christadelphian groups in… Read More Possibly a bright prospect for the Belgian community of Brothers in Christ

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence? An autobiography for a church sounds weird. Though, certain churches can use some history exposure. Throughout history, there have been many groups of people who tried to form a community or religious group where they wanted to worship the Divine Creator of heaven and earth. Like there… Read More How the autobiography of the Belgian Christadelphian community would look like

Denying yourself and doing God’s Will while following Jesus

Mark 8 During his public life, Jesus played it clear to get whole crowds behind him. Many of them came to see his miracle works but also to hear him tell, for them he seemed like a master. Today’s lecture tells us that those listeners sometimes forgot to bring food and drink, so they looked… Read More Denying yourself and doing God’s Will while following Jesus

Today’s thought “Where shall wisdom be found?” (December 21)

The three “friends” of Job have given up reasoning with him, their minds were locked into thinking that everything ‘bad’ that happens is always a form of punishment by God – but this is only sometimes. We are now reading some very interesting chapters that contain Job’s meditations about God and his way – and… Read More Today’s thought “Where shall wisdom be found?” (December 21)

Today’s thought “Building yourselves up in your most holy faith” (December 20)

It is God’s inspired scriptures that are the only source in our Godless world for “building (y)ourselves up in (y)our most holy faith”, as Jude wrote so long ago. But first let us see how our chapters today in Job are very special. Job was inspired to write of God’s creation and describe how the… Read More Today’s thought “Building yourselves up in your most holy faith” (December 20)

Today’s thought “Qualities and feasts of people” (December 14)

Nearly 2 millennia ago a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ wrote letters to his fellow brethren and sisters in Christ. He wrote to them, who were living further away, to share the same precious faith they had. He talked about a faith which was given to them because of the justice and fairness of… Read More Today’s thought “Qualities and feasts of people” (December 14)

Today’s thought “Whoever desires to love life and see good days …” (December 13)

Surely we all desire to experience goods days, to love and enjoy life. Well then, let us specially notice Peter’s advice that we read in his letter today – for his next words, to those above, are “let him (or her) keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn… Read More Today’s thought “Whoever desires to love life and see good days …” (December 13)

Today’s thought “A serious warning for teachers” (December 09)

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 “How have I burdened you?” (December 08)

In today’s second Bible reading we get the impression that God’s people looked on His laws as burdensome and felt that serving Him was difficult. The Elohim therefore asks them: “ O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.” (Mic 6:3 ASV) The God of… Read More Today’s thought “How have I burdened you?” (December 08)
