Sat. 22 Mei 2010: Deafsa Forum

Mauritz en Ds. Daan woon vandag Deafsa Forum by in die Kaap saam met 19 Dowe Studente, en Ds. Anthony kom saam met 20 Dowe leerders van Nuwe Hoop Sentrum.
Dowes word ingelig oor die proses rondom ongeliktheidstoelaes, dienste wat Deafsa bied, en ook Dept. Maatskaplike Ontwikkeling. Na die tyd neem ons die studente vir 'n lekker uitstappie na Leeukop en Kampsbaai. Die meeste van hulle het nognie die Kaap gesien nie.  Wat 'n voorreg om ook as gemeente hierby betrokke te wees om ons Jong Dowes te bemagtig!  Dankie dat U ons hierin bystaan.

Gospel Repentance

I Found this on the blog of "Provocative Church": A Quote from Timothy Keller's "Church Planter Manual":

“Legalistic remorse says, ‘I broke God’s rules,’ while real repentance says, ‘I broke God’s heart.’ Legalistic repentance takes sin to Mt. Sinai, gospel repentance to Mt. Calvary. Legalistic repentance is convicted by punishment, gospel repentance becomes convicted by mercy.”

Made me realize The BEAUTY of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Yes! When the Holy Spirit touches our lives we are immediately filled with guilt, remorse and sadness for all the sin we have done. When we look upon God's Holiness, we cannot help to cry Out like Isaiah: Woe to me!
NOT BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID OF PUNISHMENT, BUT BECAUSE WE REALIZE HOW WE BROKE OUR LOVING FATHER'S HEART BY WHAT WE DID.
The motive is Love.
