DIE BEGEERTES VAN REGVERDIGES
Verlede week het ons by die tema van HOOP stilgestaan en uitgevind dat hoop in die Skrif nie ‘n abstrakte en onduidelike begrip is nie. Hoop is net so werklik as om aan `n tou vas te hou wat aan die een kant stewig veranker is en wat jou in staat stel om steiltes uit … Continue reading
HOOP WAT ‘N VERSKIL MAAK
Ons het die afgelope paar weke probeer om ons eie verstaan van die dood meer in lyn te bring met die Skrif se voorstelling van hierdie gebeurtenis wat so ‘n wesenlike deel van ons bestaan hier op aarde uitmaak. Ons het gaan kyk na hoe ‘n mens behoort te dink aan die periode tussen die … Continue reading
PESAG, FEES VAN HOOP
Terwyl ‘n mens deesdae kort-kort hoor van allerhande nuwe soorte feeste wat gehou word – kunste-feeste, bier-feeste, jazz-feeste, kreef-feeste, olyf-feeste, oester-feeste, film-feeste en nog baie meer, is daar nie baie mense wat notisie neem van Pesag, een van die mees betekenisvolle en oudste gedokumenteerde feeste in die wêreld nie. Baie meer as ‘n miljoen mense … Continue reading
DIE BEGEERTES VAN GELOWIGES
Ons het voorheen daarna verwys dat HOOP (in die Skriftuurlike sin van die woord) en VERLUSTIGING baie naby aan mekaar lê en dat hoop vir die gelowige nie net ‘n gevoel of ‘n wens of ‘n verwagting is nie, maar ‘n DRYFVEER om ons in Yahweh en sy Woord te verlustig en die dinge wat … Continue reading
HOOP EN VERLUSTIGING
Die boodskap van hoop wat soos ‘n goue draad deur die Skrif loop, mag dalk vir sommiges na iets klink wat net te abstrak, irrelevant en onprakties is. Om net te kan sê dat jy jou hoop vestig op iets wat ver in die toekoms lê, iets waaraan jy nie nou kan raak nie en … Continue reading
WAT HOOP KAN DOEN
Na die pas afgelope Sokker Wêreldbeker Toernooi het iemand êrens ‘n artikel geskryf met die opskrif: “Feel it, it’s over!” Die skryfster is kennelik baie opgewonde oor die atmosfeer en die belewenisse van die afgelope Wêreldbeker en voel dat, noudat alles verby is, meeste van ons gaan ly aan “post World Cup Blues”. Sy skryf … Continue reading
