Life as we know it: July 2013

http://rudolf-rautenbach.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Life as we know it. Sunday, 21 July 2013. It was a sermon I heard when I was a third year student at university during 2003. This has stuck with me ever since and I often refer to it to others, but also internalise it. Something learned, I have to share. And so Joshua did. Every battle was won since Joshua obeyed everything the Lord told him. Verse 23: So Joshua took the entire land,. Just as the Lord. Had directed Moses, and he gave it as an inheritance. To Israel according to their tribal divisions.

Life as we know it. Sunday, 21 April 2013. I have recently read the letter to the Hebrews a few times. It is quite an interesting letter, for a few reasons. One of them, which I enjoy a lot, is that the author knows the scripture, but does not quote the extract ones. He only refers to the fact that he knows it is written somewhere. It indicates to me that we are all human, all normal. We will look at them over the next while or so. True legends of faith. For now, let us have a look at faith. We should ha...

Life as we know it: Abraham - Father of the faith #4 (the ultimate!)

http://rudolf-rautenbach.blogspot.com/2013/05/abraham-father-of-faith-4-ultimate.html

Life as we know it. Tuesday, 21 May 2013. Abraham - Father of the faith #4 (the ultimate! Hebrews 11:8 - By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. Is there anything else I should say regarding Abraham? The last part that th...

Life as we know it. Sunday, 30 September 2012. We all know this slogan. The whole world over there are there are different items for sale, running shoes, shirts, shorts, track suites, etc. I could not find a country in the world where it is not available. Coincidence? Now, since we are busy talking about prayer, there are a few comparisons we can make:. 1 - God is also omnipresent, meaning He is all over the earth, always. 2 - We can, at any stage, plug into Him. If this happens, go to your Bible and sta...

Life as we know it: January 2013

http://rudolf-rautenbach.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Life as we know it. Sunday, 27 January 2013. It is the end of January and time has flown past! Truly, this has been one of the hardest, most challenging starts to the year that I have ever had. It started with a bang, especially at work, and then all the other areas of life that I also have to give time to. Not that I am complaining, I like being busy. The question is not always the on the physical things: work, exercise (don't we all make those! The bigger question is, how is it REALLY going? Is it corr...

Life as we know it. Saturday, 30 March 2013. Many a time have I wondered what I would do if I had to win the lottery. Not that I play or take part. Would I spend it all, would I invest it, would I start a charity? I do not know yet, but then again, guess I won't have that problem until I play! The bigger question is if the money you have make you truely rich? Money can't buy happiness is the old saying, but if money does not make me rich, what does? 12 "As surely as the LORD your God lives," she replied,...

Life as we know it: August 2012

http://rudolf-rautenbach.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Life as we know it. Thursday, 30 August 2012. Although you might find yourself in a big black hole, in Jesus there is always hope! For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Today I went ...

Life as we know it. Monday, 30 July 2012. I enjoyed the painting. It’s not something that I have done a lot of before, but I have done it. By doing it on your own you also have a lot of time to think. And here it comes…. The day you give your heart to the Lord you are like a new wall. Freshly painted, bright and “perfect”! After all, sharing is caring…. Sunday, 29 July 2012. The first of the 4 frames I made this weekend. Be closer to Him than ever, start living your goal, His dream for you. The interesti...

Life as we know it. Thursday, 28 June 2012. Today, just something short that my wife taught me:. Romans 4:3 - What does Scripture say? 8220;Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” This comes from Genesis 15:6 if you want to read the context. The question is whether I believe IN God, or whether I believe God. There is a difference. Wednesday, 27 June 2012. To love or not to love? How do you know if you love something? Maybe it was time for me to sit back and evaluate my life&#4...
