April




April 1 Sunday and yes today it was "April fools day" but hey no one tried to pull my leg! We had a nice service. Our Canadian friend Linda spoke at our international gathering.

April 8 This Easter Sunday we had a combined service. Nice message, nice fellowship

April 13 Today I went to the youth gathering without my son who was a bit under the weather today. I went because I wanted to introduce the gathering to a young girl from Hong Kong who really would like to hook up with teens in our city..

April 15 Our International Pastor Terry Hoggard spoke at our service today. Continue with " get a grip and get going". Today the Filipino fellowship joined us. They did some nice worship music.

April 16 Monday and Pastor Terry and I did two radio programs. Living hope... You better tune in!! Later on Pastor Terry took our son out for a nice Italian dinner. Our son Linus just recently had his 18th birthday. Thank you so much Pastor Terry......

April 21 Linus, our son had a nice big concert at St John's Church here in Malmö, Sweden. Linus plays for "Mazzetti chamber orchestra" Nice performance really!!!

April 22 Today I lead a bible study on the theme "Get a grip and get going" I started the study by telling people that "You are not what you think you are, what you think you are". How you think, how you act and response to things that's you. The Bible says in Proverbs 23:7, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." You will eventually become what you think. And you can't think one thing and become something else. If you allow yourself to think negative worried, fearful thoughts, then you will become a negative, worried, fearful person. You cannot think defeat and expect victory. You can't think poverty, and expect wealth. You can't think the worst, and expect the best.
You've got to be extremely careful and extremely aware about what you allow your mind to think about. And what you choose to dwell on.

April 27 Friday and as usual I pick my son up from the youth gathering. Our head pastor preached there today...

April 28 Saturday and this sunny day we went over the bridge to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. My son had a nice concert at Tivoli. Very nice I have to say!

April 29 Sunday and we had our own gathering today. Today's preaching was on Prayer. Prayer, that's a powerful thing...

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

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

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....
