Yesterday I had to teach on the deepest mystery of Christian faith, the trinity. And as I prepared I realized that no matter how much I read and no matter how much I prayed I would never get beyond the words of the nicean council, “una substantia, tres personae” or in simpler language 1+1+1=1 And…

I was reading Graemes blog – uksalvationist and had to comment on it. The fact is that most initiatives to bring fire to the people of God are for young people and rightly so seeing that round 80% of all that come to Christ do so in their teens, but what is there for us…

As me and Hanna are expecting the birth of our second child any day now I have discovered what Christian life should truly be like. As I look upon my wife I see the signs clearly she is ready to give birth and it can happen any minute. However, since we do not know the…

Today I sent of a letter to start a study group under Schola St. George. With Graeme me and hopefully some other enthusiasts we will embark on the great adventure of learning longsword according to fiore.I am now looking for wooden wasters at affordable prices and as close to Latvia as possible. I am also…

This week we are filling out our applications for officers training, please pray with us as we embark on this new adventure. It has been long coming for us and even though I think we have known since our enrollment as soldiers that we where headed this way it is still a bit scary to…

A new breed of salvationists are infiltrating our corps, a breed of Christians who want to transform the army in their likness, to become not a marching army but a circle of fluffy bunnies who cannot possibly offend anyone. (This is an offensive post, but for the record, I do love all fluffy bunnies, they…

So today we had a visit from our TC, Hasse Kjellgren. One of the topics that was discussed was uniform, some people got agitated because they like the uniform and some got angry because the uniform should not be a big deal and therefore, a waste of time to discuss. The argument for the uniform…

Today is a black day, it seems that in the midst of the raging battle we are left alone to fend for ourselves. We being part of the Salvation army, but not apparently in the Salvation Army system. I am just now realizing how valuable it is to have an organisation backing you at home…

Today I spent half the day upgrading my computer to the beta version of ubuntu linux. Ubuntu linux is a [[Linux distribution]] funded by a [[philantrope]] who wants a good easy to use home user operating system to be spread out to the masses, and hopefully with it the ideology of ubuntu. Ubuntu linux also…

So today I made the plunge on my main machine, I have been running dapper for a while on my laptop but I just felt it was time to upgrade my desk. So here we go, I am now running Dapper on my main computer, and provided the next week goes smooth I will be…

Last nights youth service was a disaster. Everyone was late including me, ten minutes after we where supposed to meet, I realize that all the dates on next months program is wrong and I had just cut up 120 flyers by hand, so I had to start from the beginning. We didn’t have time to…

So The last days have been days colored in the three colors of the NCD trinitarian compass. The NCD concept is not new and there was nothing in the conference that was truly astounding or revolutionary and I think that is the strength of NCD. It just confirms what we already know from the bible.…

So I am of to an NCD conference with Christian Schwartz today, so I won’t be blogging but I found this at blogthings.com, incidently I recently found Dr. Pepper wich is my favorite drink, at Stockmanns here in Riga it was a victory. Finally I can celebrate those small moments in style. You Are Dr.…

So I was preaching at Metro last night, When I entered the place was empty save the three people who had arrived ‘early’ that is at 19:00 when the meeting started. The organizers appologizing that there was a hockey game on tonight (Latvia vs. Norway) so it would be a somewhat smaller crowd. As more…

If you are saved by Jesus and born again, you are a new creation in Him. You are an Alien to this planet. With your home being in a dimension far far away. Sent out through time and space to bring a message across the great divide. If you listen to the Bible you ARE…

Being and doing, I hear these small catch frazes everywhere and I think they both miss the mark. If we concentrate on the doing we become busybodies that rush off in our own power and burn out for God. If we on the other hand focus on the being we become introvert spiritual navelgazers and…
