Isaiah 55,56,57,58,59,60: Daily Summary

 Hello! Since I'd forgotten to write yesterday (hopefully tommorow I will also remember, but I think I will).  

Isaiah 55: 13 verses

Isaiah 55 is about miracles and changes where the thirsty and poor are "invited" to water and money. This chapter is very  confusing, but I think is about repentance from being spiritually "poor" to being wealthy and we will go out in hoy and be led forth in peace. This chapter also reminds us God's way is shperior.

Isaiah 56: 12 verses

Isaiah 56 is a bit more straightforward and is about how we should maintain justice and do good. The righteous will be saved, so be righteous (I'm not saying we are saved through works). Still, we should keep the Sabbath and hold ourselves from evil, we must worship God.

Isaiah 57: 21 verses

But we must not be wicked, lustful, and idolatrous, we will be punished because of our evil and our idolatrous pagan symbols. Those who are humble, however, and also those who repent, will be revived from their great punishment and they will have peace and healing (spiritually). 

Isaiah 58:14 verses

Isaiah 58 is about how we should sincerely and wisely fast and worship the Lord. Worship practices must be done in a way that is Holy - we cannot, on the same day, fast and make great sins against each other. Fasting and worshipping is worthless if we do it unsincerely.

Isaiah 59: 21 verses

Isaiah 59 is very interesting. We have sinned and justice is barren, but this chapter proceeds to speak about the Lord who was displeased because of said injustice and evil and procedeed to achieve salvation for humanity Himself and sent a Redeemer who will save the repentful.

Isaiah 60: 22 verses

Isaiah 60 continues Isaiah 59. The Redeemer will come and there will be glory for Zion, for God's Chosen. There will be glory and everlastingness, after a period of darkness there will be great light. Violence and destruction will be eradicated, being replaced by forever righteousness.

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 ...
