Because of the justice and fairness of the Nazarene Jew Jeshua (the master teacher Jesus Christ), the sent one and anointed of God, we are able to receive grace and peace in full measure through our knowledge of God and of his son Jesus our Lord. (2 Peter 1:1-2) The Divine Creator Jehovah God has… Read More Today’s thought “God’s Word and great and valuable promises given” (December 14)
Real Christians should separate themselves from the world like God’s Chosen People also separated itself. The Hebrew people in the time of Ezra separated itself from the peoples of the lands to the Law of God, their wives, their sons, their daughters, all who had knowledge and understanding, and joined with their brothers, their nobles,… Read More Today’s thought “Joining with their brothers” (November 22)
Readings for today: Joshua 1; Isaiah 7; 1 Thessalonians 1-2 All three of our readings today say much about human reactions to God.

After the effects of the Corona pandemic, we had the consequences of the war in Ukraine, and the monkeypox virus came to haunt the world. All these mishaps made people react strangely and led families to the need to watch what to do and what to spend money on.

Today’s thought “If anyone’s will is to do God’s will” (April 15) The Gospel of John is particularly soul stirring as we read it. We learn much detailed information about parts of the ministry of our Lord, filling some of the ‘gaps’ in the other gospels. We learn that the centre of opposition to Jesus… Read More Today’s thought “If anyone’s will is to do God’s will” (April 15)
Today’s thought “… his word abiding in you” (April 13) Today we began reading the detailed teaching of Jesus that is special to the Gospel of John. Jesus is teaching in Jerusalem, it is “a feast of the Jews” and he tells them, “The Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me” but… Read More Today’s thought “… his word abiding in you” (April 13)
Today’s thought “We wait eagerly for” (January 30) Paul’s letter to the Romans contains some of the most meaningful and thought provoking words in scripture. It is extremely challenging to read it and embrace all its points in our minds. Maybe, more than any other book in the Bible, this book calls for our diligent… Read More Today’s thought “We wait eagerly for” (January 30)

An excerpt from A Sound Mind by Brother L. G. Sargent, page 155 A man on a journey on foot mounted a hill.

In between he could survey the country he had to go through –… Read More A Sound Mind: Theory and practice
In the Daily Bible reading of November the 20th we read how Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. Because many could not read Ezra himself read from the scroll of Moses’ laws… Read More Today’s thought “Word of the Only One God – To be read and listened at” (November 21)
The world has lots of people wondering about life, afterlife, and about different sorts of powers manipulating or influencing life. When growing up people are confronted with a lot of questions they would love to see answered. Some of them they shall never find answered.

In the previous chapter we have seen that in Christianity came different movements, having the main churches gone far away from the Biblical Truth, always bringing contra-movements or groups doing their best to search in the Bible for the biblical Truth. The reaction by protestants against the Roman Catholic Church brought at first the bible… Read More Bible Reading: is it worthwhile?

In this system of things, possibly coming very close to the conclusion of system of things, we can find lots of people who do not know any more how they can feel comfortable, painless, peaceful and happy. For many this ‘real life’ has become a bit or a lot more than they can bear. This… Read More God’s never-ending stream of much-needed mercies
Whilst destruction is upon the land it might well be that more people shall come to recognise that the fierce anger of the Divine Creator is released. Who can stay His hand? Who can give Him council? {America the Beautiful} Those who have a natural fear for God do know when they accept Him as… Read More Daily Spiritual Food To prepare ourselves for the Kingdom of God
These days we look at out willingness to see and to search for truth. We also, in our ecclesia, shall look for ways to come more to insight and to find ways to help each-other to build up in strength and knowledge. Coming closer to the end times it becomes more important that as many people… Read More God who knows the heart
We can talk of the love of God, but to truly love God means to have a prayerful relationship with Him that transforms our lives “within”. Daily Bible reading and meditation is an essential foundation for achieving this. “The Son can do nothing of his own accord” (April 13) In our readings in John’s Gospel… Read More The Son can do nothing of his own accord
Having days of preparation for the most important day of the year we have all the more reason to think about the reasons of following the Nazarene Jew Jeshua, Jesus Christ, and why such followers should unite to share the love of Christ. Already in his short public life Jeshua advised his pupils to check… Read More Hearing words to accept
