Psalms 146-150 - Daily Summary + Announcement

Hello! Today, before the summary begins, we'll have a short announcement.

ANNOUNCEMENT 

Today is the final episode of the Psalmistic Series (Psalms 1-150), which started thirty days ago. We will be moving on to the Ecclesiastic Series, covering Ecclesiates chapter 1-12. That will be chapter by chapter until 14 Sep (ideally). 

DAILY SUMMARY

Psalms 146 - Of David. (Likely)

This praise psalm is not only a psalm of exaltation but advice for us - advice such as not putting our trust in humans nor fear them, but rather place our trust in the Lord. He is the Maker, Controller, and Savior, He is almighty but loving, and He is especially loving to the righteous.

Psalms 147 - Unknown. Possibly of David. 

Praise psalm again! Though you might be getting dissatisfied with the sheer number and repetition of praise psalms, this chapter itself also says that praise is good. It is mostly about how the Lord is powerful, loving, and praiseworthy.

Psalm 148 - Unknown.

This praise psalm is about how the Lord is above all his Creation for He is both more powerful than it and created it. So praise the Lord, everyone should because of his greatness and incomprehensibility.

Psalms 149 - Unknown.

The second last psalm in the Biblical Book of Psalms. It has a warlike theme, though a praise psalm, and a wish that the Israelites may inflict vengeance on the wicked nations and destroy the evil. It praises the Lord because He takes delight in Israel.

Psalms 150 - Unknown.

This psalm is a short praise psalm praising the Lord for His power and greatness, encouraging us to praise him, and also includes lots of musical instruments (harps, lyres, trumpets, timbrels, cymbals) while praising the Lord. The final psalm in the Bible.

SEMI ANNOUNCEMENT

That was the entire Book of Psalms summarized, 1 paragraph each chapter. That means, there should be 150 paragraphs of commentary throughout the thirty episode series. Tommorow, expect Ecclesiastes 1. Ecclesiastes is after Proverbs.

The verse, Psalms 150:6, the last verse in the Book of Psalms:

6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the LORD. Psalms 150:6

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 ...
