Isaiah 40,41,42 - Daily Summary

 Hello!

Isaiah 40,41, and 42 are chapters of "hope", while Isaiah 1-39 is more "judgement" related. Yet, there is sitll judgement in the latter 27 chapters and, oppositely, hope in the first 39.

Isaiah 40:31 verses

Isaiah 40 is about comfort for God's people. As God's people, Isaiah 40 tells us that we will be comforted and our sins are paid for. The glory of the Lord will be revealed. He will come with mighty power and with reward. He will stand when others wither,  He is the True Everlasting God. This shows us Hope for being God's people.

Isaiah 41:29 verses

Isaiah 41 proclaims the glory of the Lord as Almighty, Just, and Everlasting. The idolatrous will fall, but those who God has chosen will be God's selected servants, and God will be with them. They will be helped by God Himself, while the idolatrous will be destroyed because of their detestable-ness. This Old Testament chapter reference to Christ and the election of chosen people.

Isaiah 42: 25 verses

Isaiah 42 is a reference to Christ. He has a chosen one or servant who He will put His spirit on, and He will bring justice upon all the world and He will be both a light to Israel and the Gentiles. He is Christ. However, we cannot reject Him and rather join idolatry or spiritual blindness, or we will be judged.

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".

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 ...
