Hebrews 12 - Walkthrough and Announcement

 Hello! Before we begin our daily Hebrews chapter, I have an announcement:

Hebrews 13 on Thursday, 1 August is the last Hebrews daily chapter. Afterwards will be a two day inactive period because I am going somewhere. Afterwards, on Sunday, the normal schedule will be resumed and the first daily post will be Psalms. For Psalms, we will skim five chapters per day. 

Schedule between 31 July to 5 August

31 July: Hebrews 12

1 August: Hebrews 13

2 August: Inactive

3 August: Inactive

4 August: Book of Revelation, Psalms 1-5, SFD, PH

5 August: Psalms 6-10

Anyways, let us commence Hebrews 12 summary:

Hebrews 12 first continues Hebrews 11's topic about faith. It says that we should persevere and follow Jesus, who perfects faith and was crucified for us. He endured opposition from sinners, and we should do so too.

The second part of Hebrews 12 is a new topic about how God disciplines us. When struggling against sin, we must be encouraged and we must accept God's discipline and the Lord's rebuke, even if the rebuke is in a form of hardship. If you accept it, we will be well and we may be holy. 

The third part of Hebrews 12 is about trying to live holy, by sending every effort to reach a holy life. We must work hard and be diligent in doing this. We cannot reject it, for you will regret resisting a life of holiness.

The fourth and last part of Hebrews 12 is called "The Mountain of Fear and the Mountain of Joy". It tells us we must worship the Lord and do whatever we can for Him, as he has brought us from judgement to being justified - from a mountain of Fear to a mountain of Joy.That's all! Goodbye!

And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1c

BCN 2025 - Kasihilah Tuhan dan Pimpinan Roh Kudus

 Hello! It's been four months since the last blog. When I started a year ago, one of the first blogs was about BCN 2024. It is the next year already, and now we have BCN 2025. This will be a full summary - last time we did it in 3 parts.  Introduction - What is BCN? BCN, or Bible Camp Nasional (Bible Camp National) is a 3-day 2-night event held by Gereja Reformed Injili Indonesia. While most people who attend are from GRII, everyone can join, though it is limited to grades four to seven. Since it is held in June and after the time students typically graduate from a grade, a "seventh grader" means a sixth grader who had recently graduated, and is now considered a seventh grader, for example. BCN is a summer camp, with its main focus on teaching the Bible to children. Before grade four, most people go to Bible Trip , and after grade seven to  NRETC. BCN has seventeen sessions (sermons), this year over a dozen speakers. The event costs 800,000 rupiahs to enter for  earl...

People like to say "Jesus is coming soon", and it's incorrect: Argument Series #1

 Currently, a lot of people has reacted to the tension between the United States and Iran by saying "The end times are soon". Not only do they say this because of the "war", but also because of technologies such as artificial intelligence and Neuralink. In this post I want to challenge this claim. Of course, we shouldn't even try to say "this is near the end times", this is misleading, none of us know when, and we cannot even say that it is vaguely soon. Nevertheless, I will still bring up other points. I will go one by one for each claim. #1: The Iran-US-Israel controversy conflict is a sign of the End Times Many claim that chapters like Ezekiel 38, which speaks about Israel and surrounding powers at war, point to today's conflict. There are several approaches when it comes to interpreting Biblical verses. One of them is covenant theology, which is the reformed approach in this area. God has an Old Covenant, which is with the nation of Israel, and...

Chapel SKC Grade 7 #1

Wednesday 23 July Chapel, SKC, Grade VII #1 By Roy Pangemanan Introduksi Katekismus Heidelberg/Introduction of Heidelberg Catechism A catechism is like a theological explanation usually in the format of Question and Answer and is oral teaching. There are many catechisms, one of them is the Heidelberg Catechism. Personally, I already heard about the name Heidelberg Cathechism once but never knew anythung about it until this Wednesday. Heidelberg is a city in Germany, but at the time it was in the Holy Roman Empire. (The speaker did not say that at the time it was under the Holy Roman Empire, but I added that, he only said that the government was different). The church had just undergone the Reformation and many wanted to know about the Bible, but still needed some direction or explanation. Thus, Frederick III, that governed the area, who was Reformed (Reformed = Sola Scriptura), who was an "elector", commissioned Zacharias Ursinus and Caspar Olevianus to make a catechism. The ...
