Proverbs 29 - Walkthrough

 Hello! Let's begin Proverbs 29, the third last chapter in Proverbs. After Proverbs 31 (which if all thi gs go well, is on 26 July), will be Hebrews 6-13, then Psalms.

Proverbs 29 has 27 short proverbs:

Verse 1: When rebuked, accept it, when being disciplined, follow it, so you may thrive.

Verse 2: The people love and honor the righteous, but they dislike the wicked.

Verse 3: Have self control and stay or turn to be wise.

Verse 4: A just ruler brings prosperity, but bribery ends the prosperity.

Verse 5: Do not attack or harm others, you are putting danger on yourself.

Verse 6: The sins of the evil trap them, but the righteous survive because of righteousness.

Verse 7: The righteous care for the poor, but the wicked are not concerned, they are oppressive to them.

Verse 8: Quarrels are bad, but wisdom heals conflict.

Verse 9: Fools cause conflict and disorder and end peace.

Verse 10: The wicked hate the wise and want to take them down.

Verse 11: Fools accept conflict in open arms, but the wise calms conflict down.

Verse 12: Do not listen to lies, for they bring chaos.

Verse 13: The Lord oversees everyone: the male and female, the poor and rich, the wicked and the wise.

Verse 14: Judge the poor with fairness and equality to those of wealth, for the Lord favors that action.

Verse 15: Discipline others, to give them wisdom, someone without discipline may become a fool.

Verse 16: The wicked loves sin, and they endorse it, but they will be wiped out, and the righteous will  take refuge.

Verse 17: Discipline your children and you will be happy with them, and you will delight in their insight.

Verse 18: Be wise and accept all the wisdoms, for if not, you will be sinful.

Verse 19: Words alone cannot fully discipline, rebuke must be multi layered.

Verse 20: Think before we speak and foresee your sayings, for those who speak without thought are fools.

Verse 21: Those who are spoiled, those who are given only what brings pleasure will not succeed.

Verse 22: Anger begins conflict, conflict brings sin, anger begins with an angry person.

Verse 23: Do not be proud, but the humble will be honored.

Verse 24: Do not join with a thief, do not depart in the way of the wicked, for it is a trap made by them.

Verse 25: Why fear man? Trust the Lord and you will be safe.

Verse 26: The Lord's judgement is more just than the judgement of any man.

Verse 27: The righteous dislike the dishonest, but the dishonest also does to the righteous,

That is all twenty seven verses of Proverbs 29! See you tommorow for Proverbs 30, the second last proverb. Goodbye, and the special verse, Proverbs 29:2:

When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;
    when the wicked rule, the people groan.

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 ...
