Holidays ... a strange phenomenon actually. It interrupts everything you're doing. But it also provides opportunities to rethink things. Incidentally, I suspect that most residents of...

The Temptation of the Perfect (2)

On 12 July 2016 By Teun de Jager In Topical, Biblestudy

Satan will not try to tempt Christians with quotes from the holy books of Muslims, Hindus or Buddhists. He knows he has little chance. But he does come up with quotes from the Bible, God's Word. Clever, isn't it? It is one of his most common ways of fooling Christians into thinking they are 'going in the Lord's ways'. But he has a few more arrows on his bow and it is good to know them.

The Temptation of the Perfect (1)

On 11 July 2016 By Teun de Jager In Biblestudy

After the Lord Jesus was baptized came a direct confrontation with God's adversary, the devil. A chilling and dark confrontation in which it became perfectly clear that the Lord Jesus was devoted only to God and His Word. He was the Son loved by the Father, who here showed that He was also perfectly human.

The Reformatorisch Dagblad about Christian mindfulness

On 10 July 2016 By Teun de Jager In Topical, Idolatry

The Reformatorisch Dagblad of July 2 pays extensive attention to Christian mindfulness. Six or seven experts and theologians have their say. As many views that are usually not compatible with each other. Yet God's Word makes it clear that we should stay far away from all these methods and therapies. "Your Word is truth", that still applies today!

There is a battle going on for the soul of every human being. Every Christian too! God's adversary, Satan, cunningly tries to deceive us. That is why we are called to fight. A battle for the truth that begins and ends with prayer. We can't hold back!

On 20 May 2016 By Teun de Jager In Topical, Idolatry

Opwekking 2016 is a celebration for many Christians. But the question is whether the Lord God is also pleased. He does not leave Himself unmoved: "(...) Who makes known to man what his thoughts are (...)" (Amos 4:13). He reproaches His people for having served other gods and not the Lord (Amos 5:21-27). It is also a serious message for our time!

A day without praise is a day not lived

On 5 May 2016 By Teun de Jager In Serving God

Before you know it your spiritual life fades away. Then you can start longing for a revival, a return. The history of Elimelech and Naomi shows us this.

Incline Thy ear, my God, and hear!

On 18 April 2016 By Teun de Jager In Topical, Biblestudy

It is an impressive and emotional prayer that Daniel describes in the ninth chapter of his book (Daniel 9:1-19). In chapters 7 and 8 we read of the visions Daniel received from the Lord in ...

What is truth?

On 14 April 2016 By Teun de Jager In Topical, Biblestudy

Recently I read the following: For it is dangerous to think that your own views correspond to 'the way things really are'. Those who think they are right grossly overestimate themselves, they are overestimating their freedom ...
