Psalms 131-135 - Daily Summary

 Hello! Today's psalm episode is Psalmistic Episode 27 - only three more to go after this episode! Today's Psalms that will be summarized are chapter 131 until 135.  

Psalms 131 - Of David.

This psalm is an exceptional one about a sin: Pride. David wants to be humble instead of being proud and haughty. We should act and talk in humility but also be content. We should put our hope in the Lord, not ourselves.

Psalms 132 - Of David.

This psalm of David is a petition to God to remember him forever because of his righteousness and worship to the Lord, and he also repeats one of the Lord's oaths to David: that one of his descendants will rule forever - and that descendant is Jesus.

Psalms 133 - Of David.

This psalm is a psalm of appreciation of unity and togetherness. It is good when God's chosen ones live together and love one another - like in Church. The Lord blesses them forever. This is a very short psalm. 

Psalms 134 - Possibly of David.

This psalm of David is another very short psalm and a praise psalm of worship to the Lord and also a benediction in some way. Not much to talk about since it is three verses long.

Psalms 135 - Of David.

This Davidic psalm is a praise psalm because of the Lord's greatness - He is powerful and He destroys the wicked and blesses the wise, and He is compassionate, forgiving, and loving. The idols of other countries were carved from the hand of man or began with their thoughts, and the idolatrous people will be destroyed.

That's all for today! 

Israel (the Lord's chosen ones)  put your hope in the Lord
    both now and forevermore.  Psalms  131:3

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 ...
