Isaiah 28,29,30: Daily Summary

 Hello!

Isaiah 28:29 verses

Isaiah 28 is titled "woe to the leaders of Ephraim and Judah." Ephraim was one of the tribes which had strong men and were in the northern 10 tribes. However, they were drunkards and very wicked, so the Lord, who is powerful, will punish it. The Judahites  will also be punished. Both of them were punished, by Assyria and Babylon respectively. We must obey God that the same punishment will fall on us when He comes.

Isaiah 29: 24 verses

Isaiah 29 is a woe to David's City, or Jerusalem, also known as Ariel in the chapter. It has followed idolatry and succumbed to sin, so it will be ruined. God would have kept Israel if it was faithful, but because of irs sin it will be besieged, but then will also  be redeemed from their shame.

Isaiah 39: 33 verses

Isaiah 39 is about "woe to the obstinate nation". "Obstinate" means stubborn. We learn from this chapter to obey and carry out the Lord's plan, who trusts in humans for safety and refuge, but they will be disgraced. For reliance on humans does nothing, it is utterly useless, and that will be a wicked thing to do. We will collapse, but true salvation and strength is found in repentance, rest, quitness, and trust. The Lord wants to be gracious to us, and if we wait for Him He will show us compassion, but also justice to those who rely on men. Rely on the Lord.

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 ...
