Silent Time

With our human mind we cannot understand several aspects of resurrection. Blessed are those who do not see yet but already believe.

Whose joy is authentic? Throughout pleasant and unpleasant times, in the almighty, merciful Lord, we can find “joy like in harvest time”.

When it matters, what would you be willing to give up? What would you not be ready to give up? What is most valuable to you? God wants to bless us and to enjoy life, but at times we might be requested to give up a few matters, for example if those things became too important in our lives. How do you react? We can learn from Abraham, who – despite his human shortcomings – put his trust into the alm...

Life in its fullness can be found contrary to the obvious, widespread assumptions.

It is finished – the most decisive victory of all history has been won and everyone is invited to participate!

Have you ever poured out the troubles – told to someone what deeply moves your heart? Whom can you really trust?

Do you easily remember names of other persons? It is a kind of honour if someone calls you by name. By the authorities of this world, we are often more treated like a number – by ID-card number, by credit card number, etc. But God knows us individually and calls us by name.

Concealing or confessing?

On the roads of the cities

In the Olympics, in each discipline one person is the best. Also in other areas of life, we do well to learn from the best in a particular discipline, e.g. to improve one’s rhetoric skills by learning from those who can talk best.

Where does he live?

No more need to be afraid!

If you compare your current situation with your own past – are circumstances these days pleasant or unpleasant?

Do you have many plans for life?

Do you believe in resurrection, a second life? The bible tells us about it. It does not tell us in which format it will happen exactly, but it tells us all that we need to know here in order to get prepared in this life here.

Do you like others to talk bad about you in your absence? No one likes it, yet it is common among the people to spread rumours. Let’s not blindly join in gossiping and rather build up lives.

Do you know the game monopoly? The person who is most greedy and buys most properties, will get more and more rent from the others and finally succeed to win the game. In real life the situation seems to be similar. And yet it is not the ultimate strategy. We do well to listen to God’s warnings considering what finally counts.

What do we really need in life? What is the most important thing? We need oxygen to breathe, but even more, we need the Lord of eternal might and wisdom.

How many people have been blinded and misguided by false promises of evil people who only have their own interests in mind? How can we know whom we can trust? People have their own agendas. But the almighty creator God is above and beyond that. May we walk in his good ways, then we do not fall into traps of evil people, and rather have a good life and can be a blessing to others as well. The Lord...

What do you seek in life these days? Many people look for joy, for wealth, for luxuries, for a good job. Blessed is the person who is thirsty for a fulfilled life, who predominantly seeks the almighty, eternal creator God. The heavenly Father of mercy offers grace, true hope and confidence that lasts through pleasant and unpleasant times, even beyond this life.

If you had a wish – what would you wish for? What are your prayers? We can bring all our wishes and desires to the Lord in prayer. Beyond that, we can learn for example from the Lord’s prayer and from the psalms, a far wider range of elements of prayer, such as to pray for others in intercession; to give thanks and praise to the Lord; to humbly turn to the Lord in repentance; to seek guidance from...

What do you remember when you have a moment to think back? Usually we remember the most impressive things that had stirred up emotions, both positive such as a great holiday as well as negative such as fear of punishment.

From what would you like to be protected? Evil people who attack? Persecution? Accidents and illnesses?

THE Good News is available for all people of all nations, all genders, all ages, all professions, all backgrounds. Everyone is invited to receive salvation by faith in the saving power and grace of the almighty, sovereign Lord of mercy.

“Those far off” – it sounds as if some are excluded. But that is not the case: not only a few selected persons, rather everyone of any background and origin is invited to participate in the kingdom of God, whether close or far away.
