Silent Time

"If only ..." - do you use that phase?

Going the way from “if only …” towards “readily available, all done” leads us from unrest towards peace.

We can find that in Jesus.

Triumphant in rejection. Triumphant despite all rejection.

The good news has been rejected throughout history.

Yet there is reason for triumph – the major victory has already been won.

The good old times anew.

Did you walk closely with the Lord when you were younger?

Many people once had a heart on fire for the Lord but later other priorities came up in life.

God calls us back any time and offers his blessing for our lives. Whatever we have done, wherever we are. He always invites us.

What goes often hand in hand with the help of God?

It may sound like a contradiction, but often the help of God goes hand in hand with trouble.

If we want to visit a remote country, we have to accept that the weather conditions there might be different to the climate at home.

Does the church need to create a truth for each era? Adjusted to the ages and generations?

The opposite is true: since there is an eternal truth from God, that is why the church exists.

For the longterm stability, the foundation is more important than the top of the roof.

"I, me and myself".

This expression is at times used in a funny way.

Are you a generous person?

A good type of fear – is that a contradiction?

Or what is it?

How much do you know about farming? Are you actively involved in operating a farm? Or maybe on a smaller scale taking care of garden with a few plants? Or maybe not at all.

But one thing is clear and everybody will understand it: when it is the right time to harvest, then we shall use it to bring in the goods. Because there is a good season to harvest, but once it is over, the crops might be spoilt.

Love or revenge?
