N.T Wright

-


My wife and I have recently attended a two-day conference in Lund, Sweden with the famous leading New Testament scholar Prof. N.T. Wright.

Two intensive days with the subject: "The historical resurrection".

The rather small hall at Theofil in Lund was jam-packed with around 90 people with different backgrounds and nationalities. We were gathered to listen to this eloquent, intelligent and humble man of God from University of St Andrews in Scotland.

The sessions, the small talks, the different times of fellowship were terrific and what stroke me was Prof. Tom Wright's ability to meet people where they are, and the different struggles priests and pastors are dealing with on a daily basis.

You might be stunned by Prof. Wright's knowledge, but it was the man behind all this I saw. His compassion to teach and reach people, his compassion to touch our generation.


We really had two great days!

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...

Advent?

I've just now seen a debate program on Swedish TV, were they talked about should or should not when it comes to schools celebrating advent in churches. Some are against it some are for it. One of the guys against it said "it is not good, the children should not be forced to do this against their will. It is something they should do on their free time" "We are living in a secular society!" I agree with the priest that said" we have a secular government., We don't have a secular society since we are the society and I and many others are Christian believers." Very true. The society is US and I and very many others want to continue to go to church, sing advent songs, bless the children and be very proud and grateful that we are living in a "society" were we have the right to go to church. Live out your Christian faith! God bless you all.

Miracles

Do you believe in miracles? That's a question I got the other day from a colleague. Yes I do believe in miracles. I in a way had the experience once . I know many are waiting for a miracle to happen. It can be a lot of things: Get that job you so desperately want, get well from a sickness, get that call from a family member you been loosing track of, many many things. God hears you, God works all the time, God helps you but he does that in HIS time. I believe in miracles, I want miracles to happen, but miracles require one thing! It requires you to be in a so to say desperate state. When God do miracles to us we are in great need. I love miracles do doubt about it, but I do prefer to live with blessings. Do be blessed all the time. To understand what He does to me. It is great to have a miracle recovering from a severe sickness, but it is a blessing to live day by day with good health.. I once heard a preacher said: It’s always better to avoid problems, whi...
