Everyday we do have to face our self. In this world we encounter so many people who are not happy with their looks, their work, their politicians, their “this and that”! When not happy with the own body many look for aesthetic corrections. The Coffeeshop rabbi writes Often we adopt a resolution because there is […]
“The Philistines gathered all their forces at Aphek, and Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel. As the Philistine rulers marched with their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men were marching at the rear with Achish. The commanders of the Philistines asked, ‘What about these Hebrews?’ Achish replied, ‘Is this not David, […]
“They have now driven me from my share in the LORD’S inheritance and have said, ‘Go, serve other gods’ ” (1Sa 26:19). David’s sad words here demonstrate that his greatest sense of loss in exile was not that of his personal comfort or material prosperity, but rather his opportunity for fellowship with God. By making […]
Commenting on the example of Abigail — the faithful wife of the wicked Nabal — Jane Roberts writes: “It sometimes happens that the husband is overbearing, and forgets the conditions which engender a loving and ready service on the part of his wife. He neglects the working out of his pattern, and takes to admonishing […]
“Saul continues his relentless pursuit of David, irrespective of the divine determination that the young man who defeated Goliath was Yahweh’s anointed-elect.

“All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their leader” (1Sa 22:2). Here is the beginning of David’s new flock — these were the “sheep” he was to protect from the beasts of prey! In the fulfillment of this Old Testament type, the New Testament finds […]

Lots of people are running themselves ragged for the purpose of feeling valuable, when in reality they feel worthless because they are chasing the temporary, the fleeting rather than chasing the One Who will give us […]
Today we may see a dark world, not many people having interest in spiritual and religious matters. We may be pleased that there can be found several people who go around preaching. Though on the streets of Belgium we see less Jehovah Witnesses than some years ago. Their presence in public has been greatly reduced. […]
The idea that Jesus is in all respects equal to his Father is on several occasions denied by Jesus himself. The references are unmistakeable: ‘…for my Father is greater than I.‘John 14.28 ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do.‘ John 5.19 ‘I […]
