Below I regularly post messages related to the themes of this site. I regularly refer to the contents of the menu above. So taking note of that is actually wise if you want to be able to follow the posts. Since December 2019, in the "Footsteps" category, I've been posting messages that have to do with the road I'm on now that I have cancer. So these posts are not related to the main themes of the site.
The Temptation of the Perfect (2)
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.

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!

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!

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.

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 ...

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 ...
