Saved



During the 80's I used to listen to a lot of Punk music from England and the USA.

I had many favourite bands like Sham 69, Ramones, Clash and so on.

In the midst of this a girl from Germany, east Germany to be exactly came and shocked a lot of punk rockers with her GREAT voice.

She had a trained voice, you could hear that when she sang and she sang in a language we could not understand. Her name is Nina Hagen.

Nina Hagen came and went at the same speed in my life and I also in a way abandon punk music for something else.

Hard life with drugs and alcohol almost ruined Nina Hagen's life and that was and sorry to say is the "true" life of rock n roll.

In the news paper the other day I read an article about Nina Hagen. Nina then says that when she was at the bottom, when she almost died, God came to save her.
What!? Nina Hagen!? Not that God wouldn't save her but Nina admits that! WOW. I had to read more.

She says: I had to die first to be rescued by God. But using illegal substances is not something I recommend.
Her latest album "Personal Jesus" is full of Christian references, and in 2009 she took the plunge and was baptised in the German Reformed Church. Nina Hagen says that she never pretend with her faith in God - not even as a young punk rocker who grew up in the DDR. - I told them about God's love and prayer for strength among the punks and all who would listen, she says.

Well I never saw that back then but it is amazing to hear about it now.

It is an interesting time we are living in. More and more people now boldly shows their faith in Jesus. They openly take a stand and a stand for Christ.

Do that you to, you will never loose.

Debate

A year ago I saw a debate on tv between one Christian British mathematician and philosopher of science named John Lennox and an evolutionary biologist named Richard Dawkins. The two seams to know each other very well and even if they sometimes really disagree on God's existanse they seem to have a rather good relationship. It is a bit pointless to have these debate since none of them want to change their oppinion no matter how wrong or right they might be. As a follower of Christ I support Mr Lennox but I have respects towards mr Dawkins. What stroke me the other day when my wife and I were at the bookstore was the many books written by Richard Dawkins where he really tries hard to convince us that there is no God. If you are absolutely confident that there is no God, why on earth do you have to write all these books!? If people don't believe there is God, why go so hard? You don't believe in Him yet you hate Him. Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There

Task oriented!

I read a small article by Pastor John Ortberg from Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in California. He said that: "If you are a Pastor or a Church leader you have a calling far more important than you may know". Lots of Pastors or leaders are very "task" orientated. "The great danger in ministry is that we think about the task before us in ways that are too small!" Make budget, trying to fill up the church hall every Sunday, launching nice programs, Working hard to make the church and its vision so easy to understand and handle. We have a task all of us. Jesus said: " Go out in the entire world, go and make disciples. "Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you" Lets go out there....

Forgiven

Saul who later on changed his name to Paul was once a dangerous enemy to Christians. He did almost everything to hunt them down. Saul was a cruel man, responsible for the stoning of Stephen. In my view and in many others he deserved to be treated the same way, he deserved to die. But God had another plan for his life. God wanted him to serve as an example of grace (1 Timothy 1:13-16). Jesus reached out to Saul in a direct and startling way (Acts 9, 22, 26). Saul came to realise that the Gospel was true. He recognised the seriousness of his crimes against God On the road to Damascus Jesus revealed himself to Saul who was stunned and afraid but he did what Jesus told him to do. Blind for three days he waited. Imagine how terrified he must have been not be able to see. Not to be able to really understand what was going on. Once so feared but now so vulnerable A man named Ananias was sent by Jesus to lay hands on Saul and when he did so Saul did three specific things that
