Wat Moet Ons Met Ons Kerk Doen? is 'n poging om te probeer verstaan waar ons as Afrikaners teologies vandaan kom, watter kragte en magte ons en ons Kerk gevorm het en hoe ons Kerk tans daar uitsien.
Die N.G.Kerk was 'n belangrike en rigtinggewende rolspele in die opheffing van die Afrikaner na die Britse vergrype tydens en na die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog. Tans word die N.G.Kerk ervaar as 'n instansie wat ongevoelig teenoor die geestelike behoeftes van haar lidmate staan.
Hierdie is 'n moet-lees boek vir:
- Lidmate wat ons Kerk graag wil help om 'n gesonde, geestelike tuiste vir Suid-Afrikaners van die 21ste eeu te bied.
- Die klakkelose napraters van die dogma wat dink ons Kerk is steeds op die regte pad.
- Die plastiekpredikante van die radio en televisie wat met eentonige reëlmaat soetsappige, sogenaamd godsdienstige, pleisters plak.
- Diegene wat reeds ons Kerk tot die ashoop van die geloof verdoem het.
1990 was ’n waterskeidingsjaar in Suid-Afrika se geskiedenis. Sedertdien het die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing, en ook die NG Kerk, baie verander. Neels Jackson bied sy indrukke van die belangrikste tendense wat van 1990 tot 2020 in die NG Kerk plaasgevind het. Die wortel van die kerk word teruggevoer na Jesus toe, en die NG Kerk vandag kan ’n uitdagende toekoms op die spoor van Jesus Christus met vertroue tegemoet gaan.
Revelation was written because God wants us to know what the future holds. For Christians, the prophetic truths within provide wisdom, reassurance, and discernment—while for unbelievers, Revelation is a plea to receive God’s grace while there is still time.
Bestselling author Amir Tsarfati examines what Revelation makes known about the end times and beyond.
Guided by accessible teaching that lets Scripture speak for itself, you’ll take a closer look at the:
- timeline of what believers and nonbelievers will experience before, during, and after the tribulation
- plan that the Lord has specifically prepared for the people of Israel in the end times
- encouragements, challenges, and warnings Jesus Himself gave to prepare us for His return
In 1950, the famous Dominican theologian Yves Congar stated that
there were three kinds of reform in Church history, to cure three
kinds of corruption. Doctrinal orthodoxy was reformed by General
councils. Institutional shortcomings were reformed by
administrative means (like codifying Church law). Moral failings
were remedied best by the preaching of religious orders. He also
added that in the 20th century, since the Church suffered neither
heresy nor moral laxity, the only area was institutional reform. He
died before the sexual abuse of children came to light. If Congar
got it wrong, it suggests that the Church cannot reform itself: or
can it? Michael Winter was ordained priest for the Catholic diocese
of Southwark in 1955. He worked for nine years as curate and parish
priest in a variety of parishes. Later he pursued further studies
in theology at the universities of London, Cambridge and Fribourg
(Switzerland), where he was awarded the Doctorate in Theology in
1977. He resigned from the clergy in 1986 and turned to university
teaching, and writing. Subsequently.
In February 1988, Jimmy Swaggart, the world's most watched
televangelist, was caught consorting with a prostitute in New
Orleans. This study examines Swaggart's rhetorical campaign to
salvage his ministry in the aftermath of those actions. By
analyzing his sermons, letters, and magazine articles the work
seeks to discover the rationale that Swaggart offered his doctrinal
community to justify the claim, "I am worthy of forgiveness and
continued support".
Using Stephen Toulmin's model of informal argument as a tool to
unlock the shared worldview of rhetor and audience, this study
argues that Swaggart's overt stance, "I am solely to blame for what
I did", was not the conclusion his primary audience would reach.
Using stories and doctrinal arguments, Swaggart successfully argued
that he was not at fault for his actions, that his actions could
accurately be blamed on other individuals, and that the entire
ordeal would lead to an improved Swaggart. Yet because the
arguments were part of the Pentecostal worldview shared by speaker
and audience, many parts of the arguments were left unspoken. As
such, they were completely missed by many outside observers.
