why good enough is not good enough

I grew up in a medium sized town in the Netherlands, called Vlaardingen.
My parents were Salvationist (member of the church of the Salvation Army) and i followed in their footsteps.
Within the Salvation Army Corps, as the churches are called, the hymns and choir are accompanied by a brass band.
As the Salvation Army in the past, and still in some places goes and marches down the street to have an open air church service, this brass band plays an integral part in its ministry.
It makes a lot of sense to have a band like that, as it is impossible to take a church organ apart and carry it along with you to that open air meeting.

Yeshua the Lamb of God

The Community of Israel Required A Lamb

When all the people of the community of Israel…—Exodus 12:6

Erroneous anti-Semitic doctrine says the Jewish people killed Jesus. In much of Europe during World War II, Jewish people were not permitted to live—for no reason except they were Jewish. They were called “Christ-killers.” This concept was not new. This erroneous theology that the Jewish people had killed Jesus began in the early Church.
But is this true?
No  !!!!!!

Matthew 20:19 says He would be turned “over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”
Did the Gentiles kill Yeshua?
No  !!!!!!!

Understanding the Purpose and Power of Prayer

It happened on November 9, 2014, that an airplane accident took the lives of Dr. Myles Munroe and his beloved wife.
His book understanding the purpose and power of prayer has always been a great read in our library. linked here
From the introduction;

God, God Almighty, God the Creator of man--this same God, in all His power and all His majesty, stops and listens when you pray. All that God is--and all that God has--may be received through prayer. Everything you need to fulfill your purpose on earth is available to you through prayer. The biblically-based, time-tested principles presented by Dr. Myles Munroe will ignite and transform the way you pray. Be prepared to enter into a new dimension of faith, a deeper revelation of God's love, and a renewed understanding that your prayers can truly move the hand of God.

You're in our prayers" has become a cliché, just a nice thing to say when we see someone struggling. But do we really understand the power of prayer? God, God Almighty, God the Creator of the heavens and the earth, God the Beginning and the End, God the Source of all that is, God the Creator of man––the same God, in all His power and all His majesty, stops and listens when you pray. God has given mankind earthly license for heavenly interference. Whether you know it or not, you have the authority to change the world through prayer. When God said, "Let man rule over all the earth," He was arranging the dominion of the world so that the partnership of man was essential for the accomplishment of His purposes. He causes things to happen on earth when men and women are in agreement with His will. Prayer is essential for God's will to be done on earth. Through his unique perspective on this often–misunderstood subject, best–selling author Dr. Myles Munroe takes the mystery out of prayer, providing practical answers for difficult questions about communicating with God. All that God is––and all that God has––may be received through prayer. Everything you need to fulfill your purpose on earth is available to you through prayer. The biblically–based, time–tested principles in this book will ignite and transform the way you pray. Be prepared to enter into a new dimension of faith, a deeper revelation of God's love, and a renewed understanding that your prayers can truly move the hand of God.

A very Long day

It has been a very long day.
This morning at 5 am 1st Lady and I planned to go to the gym, but when I picked up my phone, aarrggghh it was dead, empty, no power.
We use our phones for our workout music, to keep track of our steps etc. etc.
OK, in that case I better get to work, so work started and the first email was out at 5 passed 5.
Worked until 3 PM with a short lunch break, after which church work started, and not at 7 PM I am still at it.
