Spiritual Transformation The two things have to go together.

Our five chapters today were intensely thought-provoking. First, the utterly remarkable and challenging relationship of Moses (and the people through Moses) with the Lord who had delivered them from Egypt. Second, the Psalms of Moses (90,91); “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom” (90:12): then noting the… Read More Today’s thought “I … could not address you as spiritual people” (February 21)

Today’s thought “Crying to God” (August 04) In the previous days we could read about the life of David and see how this sinner still was protected by the One God in Whom David kept putting his faith.

Today’s Thought “The whole earth is full of his glory” (May 16) It is impossible to meaningfully imagine the time when “the whole earth [will be] full of his glory!” (Isaiah 6:3).

As Christadelphians or Brothers and sisters in Christ we should be followers of the Nazarene master teacher Jeshua (Jesus Christ) and therefore as Jeshuaists (= followers of Jeshua) be diligent in the learning of the Holy Scriptures, like Jesus knew very well the ancient writings. Jeshua or Jesus because of his knowledge of the Scriptures… Read More Easter time to talk about our living hope
Today’s thought “And the LORD heard it” (March 30) We have a whole range of challenging verses that provoke our thoughts in today’s chapters. The first of these is when, as Numbers 12 starts, “Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses” because his wife was not from the twelve tribes. They said, “Has the LORD indeed… Read More Today’s thought “And the LORD heard it” (March 30)
Today’s thought “If you receive my words …” (March 24) What a powerful little word “if” can be! It can be like a wheel, it can turn things and situations into the right – or wrong direction!

Today’s thought “Not afraid of bad news” (March 5) The Psalms abound with challenging and positive thoughts in them. But our lives are often invaded by situations that provoke negative thoughts.

Today’s thought “The word of the LORD proves true” (January 8) In Psalm 18 we encounter a major psalm of David in which he surveys all the ways in which the Lord was overseeing his life.

Today’s thought “Keep me … hide me …” (January 7) How inspiring are the Psalms of David. We perceive that the more troublesome the circumstances that surround him, the closer he comes to God. In today’s Psalm 17 we read his prayer, “Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword, from men by your… Read More Today’s thought “Keep me … hide me …” (January 7)
The Holy Bible tells us how God created mankind in His image and how he set a Plan for mankind. Already early in man’s history he rebelled against his Maker. Out of compassion with the weak man, the Supreme Maker provided a solution against the curse of sin and curse of death. When they got… Read More Looking forward for what is to come
In today’s reading we read that Jehovah keeps His promise and brings His chosen ones into the hind which their fathers possessed. “5 and Jehovah thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. 6… Read More Today’s thought “Being made prosperous and numerous on conditions” (May 13)
Today’s thought “My name might be proclaimed” (February 1) Yesterday we saw how our readings in Romans also referred to Israel in Egypt and God’s continuing purpose with them.

The last few weeks a lot of articles have been published on the net about the Reformation and Protestantism. When we look at those articles and hear what most authors say what Protestantism means we can question if Christadelphianism belongs to Protestantism or to something else. According to Dr. of Ministry from Bakke Graduate University in… Read More Do Christadelphians belong to Protestantism
Today’s thought “Blessed people who trust in God and share the Good News” (July 27) The day before yesterday we made a call for writers.

In this world we may find as much craziness perhaps as Paul could find by the Galatians, him even wondering if someone put a hex on them and if they had perhaps lost their senses. Today we may find lots of Christians who put on an attitude totally against the teachings of rabbi Jeshua. They… Read More Lost senses or a clear focus on the one at the stake
In different ways 2016 may have been the hottest years since the measurements and international news gathering.
