study and meditation Faithfulness in Heavy Times From David Guzik's Bible study DANIEL 1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand... Then the king commanded Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to bring some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility, youths without blemish, of good appearance and skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to stand in the king’s palace, and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. The king assigned them a daily portion of the food that the king ate, and of the wine that he drank. They were to be educated for three years, and at the end of that time they were to stand before the king. Among these were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah of the tribe of Judah. Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Sha...

series: Central Spaces Wells Cathedral, Somerset cc 1275 - 1310 Before you read or listen to this article I really recommend that you may open and read the associated pre study here: about the stage effect . This gives an insight into how frontal performance, action (on the stage, then on the screen) has influenced our modern media-fuelled society and how it works in the church. Yes. Indeed in the Church - when Sunday worship is slowly and gradually reduced to a kind of performance and service—for visitors.

I'd like to recommend this booklet for help or contemplation, NOT like a pre-digested, instant doctrine. Chapters: intro The centrality in Gd's Kingdom   In the Old Testament   The Tabernacle   In the New Testament What is the chapterhouse? Chapter houses in England Briefing Late and (post)modern adaptations Intro W...

Do not drift back to the Law

study Our modern Bible editions spoil us, giving cosy overview of the biblical scriptures and helpful case studies when we meandering through the labyrinth of doctrines. However, our helpers sometimes mislead us by slicing up the original composition of thoughts. In the letter for the Galatians ap. Paul discusses spiritual slavery versus spiritual freedom. He is concerned about the status of the early Galatian churches. Due to the constant influence of Jewish traditionalism and its followers, the local believers cannot withstand the pressure to restore the Law by partially keeping the circumcision. {or any other parts of the old covenant} As Paul often points out, it is impossible to maintain the old and develop the new. Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the Law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. 2 But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, 3 while the son...
