Make me great again!

Then they said, “Come let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” (Genesis 11:4) We hear strange things from America. Our eastern neighbour is seeking to expand by force. The new Silk Road will soon extend its tentacles to every corner of the world. This is a worldly quest for greatness by individuals and nations alike. What is the source of this desire for power and admiration? Is there a true and real greatness,...

Restoration: Sex points to something bigger

Katrine & Samuel Vigilius Kjøller-Hansen

The Bible’s vision for physical intimacy is so much bigger and more beautiful than what our movies, music, and secular healthcare systems reduce it to be. God-created, God-honoring sex connects two whole people that are made in God’s image and who possess eternal souls. God’s created beings have unique personalities and, despite their sin, they possess a closeness and a union that, although imperfectly, mirrors the Trinity itself. This reality echoes the connection we had with one other and God in the Garden of Eden. With that image in mind, we might think that sex and marriage are essential to...

12 biblical truths about the fear of the Lord

Nima Motallebzadeh

Acts 9:31 says that “the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.” The fear of the Lord—the fear of God—is central to the Church of God.

Yet it’s a term and concept we rarely hear about in our churches today. But what is the fear of the Lord? The Reformed theologian Wilhelmus...

We are God’s solution to our lonelines

Jemima

We find ourselves at the end of the long Nordic winter! Winter is a time for hibernation, focusing on our own projects at home, watching TV, lighting a candle, shutting the door and waiting out the darkness and cold. Sounds cozy, right? But it can also be a lonely time for many, particularly (but not exclusively) for those living on their own. We take our Vitamin D regularly but it can only go so far against seasonal depression (SAD) symptoms. Additionally, the lack of meaningful social connection and intimacy can cause deep emotional pain. However, what if we saw this...

Congregational gathering and worship

Sami Günther

Have you ever heard someone say, “that was such a good meeting,” after a worship service? Or, “what a powerful gathering we just had”? What exactly is meant by such statements? What makes a worship service a good meeting? There are many possible answers, but if we consider these questions in terms of the nature of worship, we might assume that a meeting is good when the worship has made its point and achieved its purpose. What, then, is the purpose of our gatherings? In spirit and in truth Jesus said to a Samaritan woman he met at the well...
