January 2010


January and a new exciting year in front of us. New and interesting challenges for us at the "International Christian Fellowship". Time to start planning and leading the services, updating website, planning activities etc. Great fun...

*January 10, our American Pastor was in town, not speaking , but leading the service. Annual vision service, and many internationals came. Great fellowship with not to forget! Free lunch for everyone!!!

*On January 16 we attended a meeting at a International Church here in Malmo. A team of seven young students from different university in Korea came and shared there vision. They performed with traditional dances and drama. After the service we had a great fellowship with spicy Korean food! Awesome to have a table tennis table were we had fellowship. Nice opportunity to win some games!!!*S*

*Sunday January 17. Our former youth pastor, David Sirviö was speaking. Good speech, and many people showed up. It all began with kicking worship music in our main auditorium! The Korean team showed up at the service and we had a chance to pray over them as they will be travelling to Germany.

*Thursday January 21, My wife, Sarah attended a mini outreach by YWAM(Youth with a mission). A bible teaching evening at a library in a city named Lund. Great time....

Friday and YWAM Kona Hawaii comes to Malmo, and I had a day of mentoring. A full day of inspirational teaching.

*Sunday January 24. Time to listen to David Sirviö in church again. Talking a lot about restored relationships.

*Prayer meeting for the ladies at our place on Monday January 25. My son and I had to stay put in front of the computer in his room. A meeting just for the ladies!!*S*

*January 31, time start with a small introduction to a Bible study series, led by Phil Munts. Interesting to see how we can help each other grow in our relationship with God, and each other.The Bible study will be on The Gospel of Mark.. It's been snowing a lot during the night and early morning so not that many people showed up to church today...

*During January my wife has teached a American lady some Swedish. Great time, great fun....

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).

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....
