A Call to Worship – Psalm 47

This Psalm is a call to worship addressed to all people. The situation is a contrast to the previous psalm. In forty-six we are assured that “God is with us” even if things are going wrong and we are being defeated. But psalm forty-seven seems to reflect a time of success, when Israel ruled other nations. Its structure is interesting:

Make Me a Watchman

In Ezekiel 33:1-9 we read “Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, 3 when he sees the

The Unique Value of Humans in the Age of AI

As discussions about Artificial Intelligence (AI) escalate, particularly following Geoffrey Hinton’s resignation from Google, it’s essential to reflect on the inherent value of humanity amidst this technological revolution. Hinton, known as a ‘godfather’ of AI, has raised concerns about the dual-edged nature of this powerful technology, warning that while AI can enhance our capabilities, it also poses risks of misuse

The Value of Wisdom

Text: Ecclesiastes 7:9-22 The operative phrase in our consumer society is Caveat Emptor, ‘let the buyer-beware’. The wary buyer may want to check out Consumer Reports – before making a major purchase. Wary is good. Informed and wary is better. Good advice is valuable and this section of Ecclesiastes is just that. It’s like an advice column, but with a

Being One

It seems that one of the major problems in the church at Corinth was their lack of unity. This was particularly apparent in the matter of spiritual gifts, especially the gift of speaking in tongues. For some reason, some of the Corinthians considered this gift of greater importance than other gifts. Those who possessed it tended to become arrogant and

LEADERSHIP IN THE CHURCH

In the fields of education, technology and even in government, change and innovation is sometimes beneficial and even necessary. These changes are indicative of our advancement in our civilization. Some changes however become detrimental to our society, as history has taught us. In the church, a call for change and even reform is  sounded. It is my conviction that as

The Importance of the Resurrection

What divine purpose did the resurrection of Jesus serve? What does the resurrection mean for the human race? How important is it that we understand Christ’s resurrection? In order to understand better, we need to get some context and understand what led to Christ dying on the cross and rising again to life. We understand from the Book of Genesis,

The Marathon and the Message

Every year, thousands of people across the globe push their physical and mental limits in a 26-mile test of endurance that we call the marathon race. Cities worldwide host these events, giving participants the opportunity to combine their love for running with—let’s be honest—some very questionable decision-making. At least, that’s my humble opinion. But behind this dramatic test of endurance

The Value of Scripture

Does truth matter? This question leads to general agreement, for most people believe that truth is important, it does matter. However, there is little agreement when one asks “What is truth?” Even when we narrow this discussion to those who confess Christian faith, it seems like there is little unity on the answer to this question. It seems to me

Immanuel

Psalm 46 This psalm does not promise that believers will never have problems. It makes it quite clear that we will have them. This psalm does not promise that God will always fix our problems. What it promises is God’s presence. God is with us. In natural disasters God is with us amid natural disasters. “God is our refuge and

A Royal Wedding

Psalm 45 We impoverish our understanding of the Old Testament (or any part of the Bible) when we hurry the application. Too often, we want to apply scripture now before seeing a passage as it was originally intended. With the Psalms we would often do better to deal with three past settings before coming to the question of its current

Why?

Psalm 44 Few preachers choose to preach from Psalm 44. It is covered only by those who set out to preach through the whole book. Topical preachers and hopscotch preachers skip it. It is too difficult. Not only is the topic difficult, but the difficulties raised are not resolved. That may be realistic in terms of how life really works,
