    Hope in the Desert

    Ruth Chou Simons

    This is what the Lord says—he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am…

    Waiting for a Vaccine...and in Hope for God

    Dhimas Anugrah

    As the world continues to battle the Covid-19 pandemic, all of us are waiting for a “deliverer” in the form of a vaccine, which we hope can break the chain of transmission and allow us to resume our normal activities. Will a vaccine be found and produced in Indonesia soon? We pray it will be so, for many people…

    The Post-Covid-19 Landscape for Missions

    Bishop Emeritus Robert Solomon

    The world is being shaken by the Covid-19 pandemic. Apocalyptic scenes from around the world are being conveyed to our screens.

    “I have destroyed nations;
    their strongholds are demolished.
    I have left their streets deserted,
    with no one passing through.
    Their cities are laid waste;
    they are deserted and empty.” (Zephaniah 3:6, NIV).

    How contemporary these words sound…

    Stay Faithful during Economic Crisis

    The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly impacted the world’s economy. In the first quarter of the year 2020, recessions have already hit Singapore, Hong Kong, European Union, and China, and many countries have suffered. Job losses and unemployment rate have also increased: in Jakarta alone, as many as 500,000 workers have been laid off. The National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) predicted…

    A Basis of Assurance

    With that powerful scene in mind, how forcefully vivid does our assurance in the final resurrection become! When an event that has actually occurred is understood to be representative, its symbolism becomes more than just a verbal expression of ideas but an acting out of them as well.

    One of the most beautiful things Jesus ever said was “I am…

    Resurrection

    Furthermore there is 1 Corinthians 15, where a resurrection body of an entirely different kind is promised to us who have placed our hope in the day of the Lord’s coming. “It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised…

    Revivals to Life in the Calvary Graveyard

    . . . the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people. —Matthew 27:52–53

    The sixth miracle of Calvary was the revivals to life that accompanied the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The text…

    Christ Destroyed the Power of Death

    Christ’s death opened the graves. His death destroyed the power of death. The power of death is sin. Death entered into the world by sin and is the penalty of sin. Therefore, the death of Christ, who was sinless, enabled Him to bear the penalty of sin for His people.

    But death mainly consists in the separation of the soul…
