He gives power to the weak

  Judges 13–16, Isaiah 40:28-31 “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.”  –  Isaiah 40:28-29 (NKJV) There are moments in life when we feel exhausted, discouraged, and without the strength to move forward. The trials of life, disappointments, and failures can cause us to lose hope. But God has promised to give new strength to the weak. No matter how broken, lost, or defeated we feel, God’s power to restore and renew is unmatched. The story of Samson in the book of Judges is a powerful testimony of God’s ability to restore and give new purpose, even when everything seems lost. This message is a call to awakening—a call to rise in God’s strength, to reclaim the mission and vision that God has placed in our hearts. Samson’s story shows both failure and restoration...

You are a planting of the Lord

2Sa 13:17-19 17 He called his personal servant and said, “Get this woman out of my sight and bolt the door after her.” 18 So his servant put her out and bolted the door after her. She was wearing an ornate robe, for this was the kind of garment the virgin daughters of the king wore. 19 Tamar put ashes on her head and tore the ornate robe she was wearing. She put her hands on her head and went away, weeping aloud as she went. Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. The story is about two of King David's children (Amnon and Tamar) When Amnon had finished to rape his sister Tamar, he hated her more than how he loved her (In fact he didn't love her, he had lust concerning her. Love is patient and kind.) The most important thing to learn in this story is how a simple act can destroy a life of somebody. Tamar followed all things the jewish culture asked her to do. She kept herself virgin for the one...

Flaggan eller Korset? En teologisk och etisk reflektion om att vara kristen nationalist (del 2)

  Flaggan eller korset? En teologisk och etisk reflektion om att vara kristen nationalist Del 2: Evangeliet, etiken och vägen framåt Kristen nationalism i ljuset av Jesu evangelium När nationalism och kristendom möts uppstår en avgörande teologisk fråga: Styrs tron av Kristus eller av flaggan? Jesus kallade aldrig sina lärjungar att etablera en jordisk teokrati. Han grundade inte en nation; Han grundade en församling. Hans mission var inte att bygga ett politiskt rike på jorden, utan att upprätta Guds rike i människors hjärtan. Han sade:  "Den som vill bli störst bland er ska vara de andras tjänare." (Matt 20:26) Detta är evangeliets hjärta: tjänande, inte härskande. Kärlek, inte makt. Korset, inte kronan/flaggan. Nationalism kan ha positiva effekter; den kan främja moral, kultur och patriotism. Men risken är alltid att den förvandlas till andligt avguderi. Aposteln Paulus varnade:  " "Allt är tillåtet, men allt är inte nyttigt. Allt är tillåtet, men allt by...
