Psalms 121-125 - Daily Summary

 Hello! In the twenty fifth episode of the Daily Psalmistic Series will cover five amazing psalms - Psalms 121 until 125.

Psalms 121 - Of David.

Meant to be sung by two people. This psalm is a worship psalm of thankfulness to the Lord since He watches and cares over you at all times, He guards you from harm and never slumbers nor sleeps, but He loves His people.

Psalms 122 - Of David.

This psalm is a praise psalm of worship to God. Since David wrote this, he mentions Jerusalem as a place of worship and praise to God, where everybody goes to exalt the Lord's Name, but now, we may praise His Name anywhere.

Psalms 123 - Of David.

A praise psalm. This teaches us with a metaphor in the first stanza, reminding us that the Lord is merciful upon us - we are very sinful and so are our surroundings, but the Lord loves us and is merciful upon us. This is a very short psalm.

Psalms 124 - Of David.

This brief praise psalm about thankfulness. David knows if the Israelites, or we, were not accompanied by God, we would be engulfed and destroyed by destruction and evil. So Praise the Lord because of His help - the help from the Maker and Controller.

Psalms 125 - Of David.

This psalm shows us that the wise will never be shaken but they endure forever and their foundation is solid. The Lord surrounds and keeps His people, He guards them from collapse, calamity, and catastrophe. He will so good to those are good and wise.

That's all! Today's unique verse, Psalms 121:2:

My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth. 

Verse Reflection: Help and assistance is given by God, who created, saved, and loves us.

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 ...
