Fitna – So he did it

30Mar08

So he did it. Geert Wilders did publice the movie, although it didn’t stay on the web very long. I am really happy by the lack of turmoil that the movie has given (so far). I hope it will stay that way.
I didn’t have the chance to see the movie, but I saw some pictures [...]

Brother Andrew again

26Mar08

This Easter Weekend I finished reading Brother Andrew’s book Light Force (in Dutch: “Een Leger van Licht”).
It’s an impressive book on Andrew’s visits to the Middle East and especially the Palestinian people. If there’s one book I could recommend everyone to read, it’s this one. It even kept me from sleeping one night, not because [...]

Fitna – the movie

21Mar08

Somewhere between now and April 1st Dutch politician Geert Wilders will put his movie “Fitna” on the internet. As much as I want to see if all the fuzz that has been going for months was really worth it, I am not looking forward to it.
I’m afraid of fights, schools, churches and mosks being burnt down. [...]

Matthew6:25: I tell you not to worry about your life. Don’t worry about having something to eat, drink, or wear. Isn’t life more than food or clothing? 26 Look at the birds in [...]

Wrestling

15Mar08

Reading Brother Andrew’s book makes me realise how easy it is for us in the West (Europe and America) to believe in God. We’re not persecuted for it. The only thing is that sometimes we get remarks from others about our faith.
It also makes me wrestling with a lot of things. Brother Andrew writes that [...]
