THE GOSPEL FOR EVERY DAY LIFE

Is My Algorithm Tempting Me to Sin? Part I

Designs for social media algorithms were initially introduced in 2009. It was at this point that media began to appear to users based on preference and engagement, not chronological order. The benefit of this is that we receive content more suited to our tastes. However, because our social media is now designed ultimately to feed us what we want, there are many ways in which our weaknesses can be exploited. Matthew 26:41 tells us to, “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” The first step for believers in their battle for temptation is to be vigilant, identify personal weaknesses, and anticipate how these areas may affect us. The following list is not exhaustive by any means. However, knowing these key areas on how we can be tempted in our use of technology sharpens our awareness of “sin crouching at the door” (Genesis 4:7).

Guds helighet

Emilie Rosman

Vad innebär det att Gud är helig? Hur kan en helig Gud förlåta synder utan att tumma på sin helighet och rättfärdighet?

Åbenhed for evangeliet

Torben Østermark

I Danmark og i Skandinavien har man også flere steder oplevet en del fremgang i hyppigheden af kirkegang, særligt i kirker med konservativ bibelsk forkyndelse - med vægtlægning på arbejde med bibelen, et levende kristent fællesskab mm. Desuden er der en del vidnesbyrd fra unge - bl.a. på de sociale medier - hvor de fortæller om, hvordan de er begyndt at læse i Bibelen, og at Jesus har forvandlet deres liv.

Not Ours to Carry: the burden of children’s salvation

Hannah Norén

A parent’s identity is not to be a savior but rather to be utilized as a tool in the Savior’s hand to help our children along the way. We can lovingly provide a good foundation for the work that God alone is powerful enough to complete. This is good news indeed for we, as imperfect parents, are not equipped to be a spiritual heart transplant specialist. Only God alone is capable in providing a Savior for mankind through his son, Jesus Christ.

Good Advice after 25 years of Ministry

Claus Grønbæk

It’s incredible how time flies. It doesn’t feel like that many years ago that we were a small group of people with a calling and a dream to plant a church in Copenhagen. And now, 25 years later, we stand here and can look back on a fantastic and wild journey—with plenty of hard work, many ups and downs—but far overshadowed by God’s incredible blessings and goodness. And people’s transformed lives. It is a good opportunity to pause and look back on everything that has happened. And to share some of the experiences I have had, which may be an encouragement and help to anyone who is about to plant a church or serve in God’s kingdom in some other way.
