Today’s thought “Witnessing, empowered by the Holy Spirit” (April 26) Today we read about the disciples of Christ who were first hiding in a room when suddenly a noise came from heaven. It sounded like a strong wind blowing. This noise filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw something that looked like… Read More Today’s thought “Witnessing, empowered by the Holy Spirit” (April 26)
Today’s thought “Do not add anything to what God commands you, and do not take anything away” (April 21) Today we encounter a very important writing which may even frighten us who want to preach. It reminds us of the importance of bringing Gods Word to others how it is and not how human doctrines… Read More Today’s thought “Do not add anything to what God commands you, and do not take anything away.” (April 21)
Today, for almost everyone, bodily health is a number one priority. When it fails, the enjoyment of life, with its hopes and ambitions, is hindered and halted. Vast amounts of money are spent every year upon getting well and keeping well. More and more, solemn warnings are being issued about the danger of eating wrong… Read More He Healeth all thy Diseases
On August 10, 2011 we proudly presented our ” newest daughter on WordPress: Broeders in Christus.” In this Corona year, there has been a lot of isolation, but that did not mean silence. Some words from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses about Christadelphians made that we could not stay silent and have their sayings… Read More Fresh new WordPress site in Dutch about the Brothers and sisters in Christ
In our series on the ecclesia and its working, we continue to look at some of the writings of the beginning of the 20th century. Where “Eureka”, that grand legacy of Dr. Thomas, is studied, there the Bible is best revered, known, and understood. On the other hand, it is our experience that those Ecclesias… Read More Eureka Classes
Today’s thought “That we may see and believe” (February 19) What causes belief – real conviction of belief? Well, it depends what you want to believe; what you see you need to believe! If someone cries ‘Fire’ – you lose no time in acting to verify if the cry is genuine – and seeing what… Read More Today’s thought “That we may see and believe” (February 19)
We have been given peace by the work of Christ. We need to live in a place of peace. To that end, the Bible also teaches us to pursue peace and the one leading the ecclesia or guarding the garden or house of God and guiding in the local Body of Christ (the local ecclesia)… Read More When examining ourselves
Some criticism Frank George Jannaway had at some ecclesiae their exhortations at the beginning of the 20th century It is, alas, only too true that some Sunday morning exhortations are not what they profess to be. In many such there is no real exhortation in the Apostolic sense. Real exhortation is that referred to by… Read More Exhortations
We have never known an effort in modern times to bring men back to the “simplicity which is in Christ” in faith and practice which has not either been embarrassed or defeated by parties superficially instructed in the principles sought to be Scripturally developed, introducing under the speciosity of “doing good” and saving precious souls,… Read More Conferences and Evangelists
Continuing to look at the way we could form and keep an ecclesia we refer again to an early twentieth century writing of Frank Jannaway. At that time the ecclesiae could flourish, but today in the time of Covid-19 we can only notice how a lot of our members are elderly people. Some find the… Read More Leading Brethren
From a writing at the beginning of the 20th century If any can publicly “preach the Word”, let him go forth without stipulation and trust to the appreciation of his labours by his brethren for his expenses and support. We start on a journey of a thousand or more miles at our own risk, and… Read More Paid Hirelings

Having got over the hurdle of running ‘virtual’ breaking of bread meetings and Bible classes we need to think about our preaching. Typical Bible Hour addresses might still work if your ecclesia has unbaptized members who will connect in, but it is less easy to engage with the public this way. Preaching suggestions will be… Read More Preaching and closed meeting rooms
On the 21st day of the 7th month (Av = July-August), the prophet Haggai gave a second message from the Eternal. (Haggai 2:1) He asked about Zerubbabel (Shealtiel’s son and Judah’s governor), Joshua (Jehozadak’s son and the high priest), and all those who returned from exile, or any of them still living who saw how… Read More Today’s thought “Latter glory of the house of God shall be greater than the former” (December 18)
Unceasing evil The above two words are the last words in the short prophecy of Nahum we read this morning. His three chapters are “an oracle concerning Nineveh” (1:1). You will remember that Jonah reluctantly went there, but they responded to his preaching of warning that in “forty days” they would be destroyed because of… Read More Today’s thought “Unceasing evil” (December 11)
