Questions in the Bible - Esther, Job, Psalm
By Prof Hermon Hanko

This project was inspired by 'Pastoral Voice' written by Rev. Andy Lanning for CERC in Oct 13-Jan 14 which covered 6 questions in Genesis.

There are many questions within the Bible, 2,540 to be exact.

The Christian Literature Ministry has shortlisted and compiled a list of them based on certain criteria:

i) Can be linked to Christ
ii) Significant in history of church
iii) Spiritual lesson for us
iv) A question we may also ask

After 6 years of effort, 12 books of the bible have been completed. In addition to the 6 meditations from Rev. Lanning, the writers are: Prof. Herman Hanko, Rev. Richard Smit and Rev. Cory Griess. We are grateful for their labour of love.

May you benefit spiritually from the meditations, and pray with us that gradually we may compile more meditations from questions in other books of the Bible.

His Friends and Servants
Tell His Wonders, volume 2

by Nathan J. Langerak
 

From the RFPA website:

By the wonder of salvation in Jesus Christ God establishes a covenant with us his people and makes us his friends and servants. And in his mercy he also makes a promise to us: I will be your God, and I will never forsake you.

God is always faithful to keep the promises he makes to us, even as he kept his promises to the patriarchs Abraham and Jacob. We may suffer terrible troubles in this world like Job or Joseph, but God rules all things for our sakes, and so his plan for us is always good.

As his friends and servants we seek heaven and flee the temptations of the world. The God who delivered his servant Daniel from the lion’s den also delivers us from the devil and keeps us safe until he brings us to heavenly glory.

This second book in the Tell His Wonders Bible story book series includes stories about Job and the patriarchs, Joseph and his brothers, several judges, King David, Daniel and his friends, and more.

Nathan J. Langerak is a minister in the Protestant Reformed Churches of America. In addition to the two books in the Tell His Wonders series, he has written Walking in the Way of Love, a two-volume commentary on the book of 1 Corinthians. He and his wife and their six children live in Crete, Illinois.

Michael Welply has illustrated more than eighty books, including The Random House Book of Bible Stories and Biblical Times, published by Simon and Schuster. He has two adult children and three grandchildren. He and his wife live in Levet, France.

CERC Activities

We thank God that we are now able to have up to 100 people returning to church to worship God at each worship service. We are thankful to God, who made this possible for us. May we yearn to be found in His house even though there are restrictions that we have to adhere. 

Over the past month, we are also extremely blessed and thankful to have Prof Dkystra who was able to bring to us God's word via live streaming. We are thankful for the means of modern technology as well as God's goodness towards us.

Other Church activities have been cancelled or postponed or brought online. We thank God in all things and let us continue to pray for God's guidance and His will for the days ahead. 
 
 
Installation and Ordination of Office Bearers

We rejoice in God for providing CERC with willing men who serve in the offices of Elder and Deacon. We thank God that we can witness the installation and ordination of three brothers, despite a delay of about 3 months due to the pandemic. Thanking God for the means of technology, Prof Dkystra was able to conduct the installation and ordination through live-stream from the US - an unprecedented event!  We pray for the Lord's blessings as these new office-bearers undertake their respective callings. May we pray for the Session members that God may grant them wisdom, strength and wisdom in their callings.
