In the quiet of the night…
Artwork by Esther Bennink Every day, whether enjoyable or not so enjoyable, comes to an end. When we are tired, we will enjoy going to bed. There, if we can, we will get into dreamland. Our sleep then allows us to process the things we have been through. * “In the quiet of the night, when stars twinkle above and the world sleeps below, a bedtime story is a whisper from the universe, reminding…

Ukraine in March 2024
Without help in the nick of time, Kyiv would probably have lost an entire oblast by now David Axe 13 March 2024 • 1:02pm Russia went to war in Ukraine two years ago with twice as many artillery pieces as Ukraine had. But it isn’t the advantage in howitzers that really matters – it’s the advantage in shells. After all, a single gun firing 50 shells a day is about as useful as two guns each…

Bread
My wife and I made bread today.  It’s not something we do very often, so it seemed kind of special.  It got me to thinking about bread in the Bible.  There’s a lot of it. It starts right at the beginning, when God pronounces the consequences of Adam’s sin: “By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread…” (Genesis 1:19)   From here on, “bread” would stand for all food.  Bread was the staple; if…

Having a sensitive human in your life
Artist Credit : Kat Fedora We ourselves can be sensitive persons, but we also can have other sensitive beings (animals but also humans) around us. One could say that as a sensitive person, one runs the risk of being ‘injured’ more easily. Being more sensitive can make others see us as weaker and easy prey. In any case we don’t have the ‘luxury’ of avoiding things that matter. Our sensitivity…

Réception de Pierre à Corneille et baptême de non-juifs
  Lorsque les apôtres proclamaient la Bonne Nouvelle, ils rencontraient parfois des frères qui les accompagnaient. Par exemple, six frères sont allés avec Simon Pierre chez un homme qui avait chez lui un messager de Dieu (un ange) qui avait dit d’inviter quelqu’un à Pierre. Corneille avait entendu dire que Pierre avait quelque chose à lui dire qui le sauverait, lui et tous ses colocataires.…

Reception of Peter at Cornelius' house and a baptism of Gentiles
As the apostles went around proclaiming the Good News, they sometimes came across brethren who went with them. For example, six brethren went along with Simon Peter to a man who had in his house a messenger from God (an angel) who had said to invite someone. Cornelius had thus heard that this Peter had something to say to him that would save him and all his household members. (Acts 11:12-14)…

Cornelius had zo gehoord dat die Petrus hem iets had te zeggen waardoor hij met al zijn huisgenoten zou worden…

Thought on Earth Day
Humankind treated this planet very poorly. Lots of people do not bother how they use elements of this earth. They just are using up our valuable resources, without thinking about future generations. The majority of people do not consider from Whom they have been given the opportunity to rule this earth. That Creator of heaven and earth has a lot of patience, but one day it will come to an end…

The Bread of Life to be remembered
“The LORD’s Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.”  (Leviticus 23:5) The memorial feast Tonight we remember how God provided life to His people in two particular ways.

Goed nieuws tijdens de herdenkingsmaaltijd van zondag 21 April
Wegens de gezondheidstoestand van onze ouderling en voorganger Marcus Ampe, werd de herdenkingsmaaltijd (memorial meal) op voorhand een dagje vroeger gepland dan 14 Nisan, dat dit jaar op maandag 22 april valt. Deze ochtend werd dan ook in de dienst gekeken naar het 22ste hoofdstuk van het boek Lukas waarin de apostel schrijft over de discipelen die bijeen kwamen in een bovenkamer te Jeruzalem om…
