Luiheid - Laziness

Episode 22

Angus Buchan

2 Tessalonisense 3:6-10
Ek glo niemand is meer selfsugtig as ‘n luiaard nie. Ons moet die werk doen waarvoor God ons geroep het. As ‘n luiaard nie sy weë verander nie, moet jy niks meer met hom te doen hê nie, sê die Bybel. Dis streng, maar dis soos om vir mense wat ‘n in varkhok bly “hamburgers“ te voer. Solank jy hulle bly voer, sal hul daar bly. Ouers moenie aanhou om vir kinders geld te gee as hul te lui is om te werk nie. Maar wees lief vir hulle en bid vir hulle.

2 Thessalonians 3:6-10
I don’t think there is anything more selfish than a lazy person. We need to do the work that God has called us to do. If he will not change his ways, have nothing more to do with him, the Bible says. Those are stern words. It’s like feeding people hamburgers when they are in the pig sty. As long as you feed them, they will stay in the pig sty. Parents also shouldn’t continue to give children money if they are too lazy to work. You are not doing them a favour. Love them and pray for them.

Geloof Deel 2 - Faith Part 2

Angus Buchan

Romeine 10:17 Wat beperk God se werk in jou lewe en my lewe? Ongeloof. Geloof kom van luister, en luister as gevolg van gehoorsaamheid aan die Woord van God. As jy geloof wil hê, moet jy delf in die Woord van God. Abram was ‘n gewone man nes ek en jy. Maar hy het gekies om God te glo. Toe God sê Hy moet Isak gaan offer, het Abram nie gehuiwer nie. En Abram het bekend gestaan as die Vriend van God. Bid dat God jou geloof sal versterk. Romans 10:17 What restricts God from working in your and my life? Unbelief. You need faith, and faith comes from hearing and hearing by the Word of God. If you want faith, you need to get into the Word of God. Abraham was an ordinary man like you and me but he chose to believe God. When God told him to sacrifice Isaac, he did not hesitate. That is why God loved Abraham. Abraham is the only man in the Bible whom God refers to as His ‘friend’.

Geloof Deel 1 - Faith Part 1

Angus Buchan

Hebreërs 11:1 Sinopsis: Hoe kry ‘n mens geloof? Baie maklik. As jy meer geloof wil hê, lees die Bybel meer. Sint Augustine het gesê: “Geloof is om te glo in dit wat jy nie kan sien nie, maar die beloning van geloof, van daardie daad van geloof, is om te sien wat jy glo”. Hebrews 11:1 How can one’s faith be increased? Easily. Simply read your Bible more often. St. Augustine said, “Faith is to believe what you cannot see but the reward of that faith, that act of faith, is to see what you believe.”

‘n Goeie Voorbeeld - A Good Example

Angus Buchan

Johannes 14:27 Soos hulle sê, dade spreek harder as woorde. Ons kan maklik vir mense vertel dat Jesus die Weg of die Lewe is, maar as jy as Christen kort van draad, hoogmoedig of vreesbevange is, hoe gaan jy iemand anders oorreed om ‘n Christen te wees? Watter voorbeeld stel jy? Wat mense eerder wil hê, is dat jy vir hulle sal wys hoe ‘n Christen leef, nie net vir hulle staan en preek nie. John 14: 27 Talk is cheap - it's actions that count. We can tell people Jesus is the Way, Jesus is Life – and He is – but if we are short-tempered, arrogant or fearful, why should they want to follow Jesus? What the world is saying to you and to me today, is: “Don’t tell us about Jesus. Show us Jesus."
