Sunday, November 10, 2013 Meditation doesn't have to be taught. The art of slow thinking is natural.

Tuesday, October 01, 2013 Mind the Gap So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. Hebrews 2:1 Daarom moeten wij al onze aandacht richten op wat we gehoord hebben, dan zullen we niet uit de koers raken. (Hebrews 2:1) Every single day we have to believe the truth again. This is not to earn favour with God. Nor is it because God isn't capable of saving us. Jesus' work on the cross is enough. The gift is complete. Nothing needs to be added or topp...
