Psalms 56-60: Daily Summary

 Hello! Today's psalmistic post is covering: Psalms 56 to 60: our twelfth episode concerning the Book of Psalms.

Psalms 56 - Of David.

This psalm was for the director of music, Asaph, and was written when the Phillistines caught him at Gath. This is a psalm like other psalms of plead, a psalm where David pleads the Lord to deliver rhim from the hands of his wicked enemies, but David knows the Lord will deliver him because of His justice.

Psalms 57 - Of David.

This psalm was for the director of music, Asaph, and was written when he fled from Saul and hid in a cave. This is similar to Psalms 56, expressing how he takes refuge in the Lord God because He vindicates him. David praises the Lord God too at the end.

Psalms 58 - Of David.

This psalm is for the Director of Music, Asaph, and is classified as a "miktam" psalm. This psalm expeesses our sin and those of the wicked. The Lord brings calamity to them, He sets free their enemies and curse their path with thorns. The righteous will not be swept away, for the Lord loves them.

Psalms 59 - Of David.

This psalm is for the director of music and is classified as a miktam. This is also a psalm of plead as it was written when Saul sent soldiers to kill David. David cries to his, and our, God as evil conspirators are against him, but the Lord is just and will judge the wicked.

Psalms 60 - Of David. 

This psalm was when he defeated the Edomites (descendants of Esau) and is a miktam, and is too for the director of music. This is a psalm of thankfulness for the Lord's blessings on David and his kingdom, for He saved him and Israel in battle. David knows it was not his victory but the Lord's.

That's all! Thank you for reading!

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 ...
