Living from God’s perspective

Living from God’s perspective is essential for living a life with purpose and joy

In a talk I gave lately I used a passage a prisoner of Rome wrote two millenia ago. In this passage he tells us how he was able to live a life with purpose and joy even in this unusual situation.

You can find the talk here but go to minute 27:25

The passage is in the Bible. You can find it in the letter of the apostle Paul to the Philippians chapter four, section four to seven.

I talked about the following: Identity. Guidance. Perspective. Focus.

You can also find it at the ICF Delft website here

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. — Paul the prisoner

Training day for students

Spirit lifted, community rooted

Join the StudentLife Lift-Off on Saturday the 28th of October. A day full of inspiration, meeting each other and sharing testimonies. All meant to help you develop a lifestyle of sharing the gospel.

The theme of this day is Lifted by the Spirit, rooted in community. The book of Acts tells us how the church was born through Christians sharing the gospel of Jesus. This would be impossible if it wasn’t for the Holy Spirit being poured out over them: the Christians let the Spirit lead them in everything they do.

The Spirit creates a loving community for the people to be able to keep sharing the gospel. It is this community, where people share everything with each other and live abundantly, that is so incredibly attractive to people.

The Lift-Off will take place in Delft and it starts at 9.30am and ends at 4.15pm

A rough outline of the day:

  • Welcome and opening game
