DOA: Antara Teori dan Praktek

Kristen Sejati Posted on by

oleh: Ev. Paul Santoso Hidayat, S.Th., M.Th. Saya pernah mengalami kesulitan nafas. Sesudah terserang batuk agak lama, lalu saya mengalami sesak nafas karena alergi. Selain sangat menyiksa, juga pengalaman sewaktu nafas saya menjadi sesak, pendek dan terengah-engah itu menimbulkan rasa ngeri. Sekaligus saat itu saya menyadari betapa berharganya hidup sehat yang dapat bernafas tanpa masalah. Berdoa sering diumpamakan sebagai bernafas secara rohani. Jika kita benar-benar menerima gambaran itu, tentu kita akan menghargai betapa besarnya anugerah yang telah Allah berikan kepada … Continue reading →

Human guidance?

Kristen Sejati Posted on by

We need to be on our watch against the powerful influence of spiritual mentors, lest, fascinated by the fame of some popular leader, we become the willing dupes of a childish superstition, or the blind followers of a fatal error. Do not take your views of Divine truth from man; draw them primarily from God’s Word. Do not study the Bible through your theological system, but let your system be taken from, and faithfully weighed with, the Bible. Our theological … Continue reading →

Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior

    As ear­nest Christ­ian pas­tor told of a young man about whom he had long felt much an­xi­e­ty, as he had seemed so un­con­cerned about his soul, and was, in re­al­i­ty, a real cause of dis­turb­ance and in­ter­rupt­ion in class­es for other young men. Meet­ing him one day, the lov­ing pas­tor sought once more to in­flu­ence him, urg­ing, “We want you for Christ and his ser­vice.” There was a cer­tain change in his man­ner which did not es­cape the … Continue reading →

Words: Fred­er­ick M. Leh­man; he wrote this song in 1917 in Pas­a­de­na, Cal­i­fornia, and it was pub­lished in Songs That Are Dif­fer­ent, Vol­ume 2, 1919. The lyr­ics are based on the Jew­ish poem Had­da­mut, writ­ten in Ara­ma­ic in 1050 by Meir Ben Isaac Ne­hor­ai, a can­tor in Worms, Ger­ma­ny; they have been trans­lat­ed in­to at least 18 lang­uages. One day, dur­ing short in­ter­vals of in­at­ten­tion to our work, we picked up a scrap of pa­per and, seat­ed up­on an emp­ty … Continue reading →

Prayer for Humble Reliance Upon God

Kristen Sejati Posted on by

Lord, if you withdraw your hand, there is no grace. If you cease to guide us, we have no wisdom. If you no longer defend us, we have no courage. If you do not strengthen us, our chastity is vulnerable. If you do not keep a holy watch over us, our watchfulness cannot protect us. By ourselves we sink, we perish; when you are with us, we are uplifted, we live. We are shaky, you make us firm. We are … Continue reading →
