Psalms 81-85 - Daily Summary

Hello! Today's daily psalms episode is Psalms 81 through 85 (81,82,83,84,85). This is the seventeenth episode and we're nearing the Psalms 100 landmark.

Psalms 81 - Of Asaph.

For the director of music (possibly Jeduthun). This psalm is a wonderful psalm of praise to God, and the reason behind said praise is the Lord's great love and deliverance of the wise, and all those who Fear Him, since He is Almighty and all evil will be destroyed by His punishment.

Psalms 82 - Of Asaph. 

This psalm is a short psalm of petition to the Lord to punish the wicked and to bless the disadvantaged. For the wicked worship false idols that are made by their hands and will fall like man. This is a petition to God to judge them and snuff the wicked out,

Psalms 83 - Of Asaph.

This psalm has a similar theme to the previous psalm but it is over twice the length. It is also a petition to the Lord to destroy the wicked, for they plot evil and malicious activities, they gather and attack the wise. Asaph wants the Lord to greatly punish them like what He did to other wicked people of the past and to make them perish.

Psalms 84 - Of the Sons of Korah.

For the director of music. This is a short psalm of praise, praising God for He is Worthy of Praise because of His strength and love, his mercy and justice, and He blesses those who trusts Him and obeys Him and Fears HIM.

Psalms 85 - Of the Sons of Korah.

For the director of music. The Sons of Korah composed this psalm to express of the Lord's wonderful forgiveness. For we are very sinful and our iniquity is vast, but the Lord is Forgiving, His Love is Unfailing, and He will save those who Fear Him - that is, the Wise.

That is the seventeenth set of five psalms! Just three more episodes until Psalms 100 - the 2/3 point. Thank you for reading!

Verse: Psalms 83:18

18 Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord –
    that you alone are the Most High over all the earth. - Asaph, Psalms 83

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 ...
