A new edition of The Alarm Clock appears today. Key themes are trust and service.
The meditation on Mark 5:28 provides an example of tremendous trust, against one's better judgment.
The series of articles on leaders in the Bible and leadership in church and society centres on Sebna and Eljakim: pride and self-glorification versus paternal caring.
In the interview from the series Generations in the Church, Mrs Visser (95), now deceased, says about this: "You are quick to say something about your neighbour, as if you were better. But to remain humble, as the Lord Jesus taught us, that is difficult."
The Amersfoort classis reports on the peremptory examination of candidate H.J. Ymker. The Haarlem classis reports on its autumn meeting, which included a decision to insist on the General Synod meeting being brought forward.
