June

Slowly slowly summer is coming to Malmö Sweden!!

*June 6-- Sunday and the national day of Sweden. All different cultural and language groups where together this special Sunday service and national day of Sweden..It sure was a good service

*June 10-- Thursday, I met my student I'm mentoring. Had a good conversation about staying focused on the different tasks in life. Great time together.---- Please pray for us, that our goal settings and time together will be fine.

*Bible seminar June 12 & June 13

We had a Bible study on Saturday and Sunday, about the Firm Foundations of Biblical Faith by Pastor Ronald Hunter from Coer d' Alene Church of the Nazarene, Idaho USA.

During Saturday we went through different sections like :

The Doctrine of Faith
The Doctrine of GOD
The Doctrine of Man
The Doctrine of Salvation
Great teaching and great fellowship.

On Sunday Pastor Ron Hunter continued with his teaching.
Pastor Ron Hunter Jr and Juliene Munts led us in worship and at the end of the service
Larry Blakeslee, a visiting pastor from Germany, gave a brief presentation about his children's ministry in Europe.

Truly a great weekend..

June 20-- Sunday and time for service again. Lots of wonderful worship music. Fixing all the different slides for the service this Sunday morning. Pity that our nice cafe is closed for the summer, it is a good opportunity to connect. Rather many new people showed up today.

June 27-- Sunday and time for a nice time together, studying what lessons we learn about God, ourselves and prayers

In this study we looked at each of these five responses and asked ourselves three questions:

What lessons do we learn about God from this response?
What lessons do we learn about ourselves from this response?
What lessons do we learn about prayer from this response?


Five Ways God Answers Prayer

1) "No, I love you too much."

2) "Yes, but you'll have to wait."

3) "Yes, but not what you expected."

4)"Yes, and here's more!"

5) "Yes, I thought you'd never ask."

Conclusion
Lessons on prayer ... when learned become life principles that will serve us well and when shared with others, they too will profit greatly!

Interesting discussions and a nice time together

June is now over.How good will July be? I know it will be great....

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....
