Purify my heart

 
 "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver;
he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver.
Then the Lord Jehovah will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness..."
Malachi 3:3-4

 

'Purify my heart, let me be as gold
and precious silver.
Purify my heart, let me be as gold,
pure gold.

Refiner's fire, my heart's one desire
is to be holy, set apart for you, Lord.
I choose to be holy,
set apart for you, my master,
ready to do your will.

Purify my heart,
cleanse me from within and make me holy.
Purify my heart,
cleanse me from my sin, deep within.

Refiner's fire, my heart's one desire
is to be holy, set apart for you, Lord.
I choose to be holy,
set apart for you, my master,
ready to do your will'.

The Guelph Public Library has a rich database filled with historical photos of Guelph – some dating back as far as the 1800s – but library staff want to see more.
“We were pretty much looking for any photo of Guelph,” said Guelph Public Library archivist Darcy Hiltz.
The library asked people to poke around in their attics and basements, and to flip through their old photo albums and boxes to find long-lost photos of the Royal City for the “Guelph’s Hidden Past” photography contest.

Guelph has always been a center of Christadelphia, as long as there have been Christadelphains in Canada. In fact, it is older than almost any ecclesia in Ontario.

Calling all Christadelphian Composers

The January 2014 Melbourne Conference is producing an exciting new musical based on the novel A Time To Hear by SJ Knight. The script and some key songs have been written. Casting Auditions will be held in Melbourne in June 2013, God Willing, and we encourage anyone in Victoria to apply. There are roles for all ages from young children to the elderly.

Now we are seeking composers/song-writers who can go beyond writing tunes and ballads. We need people to write chorus numbers, and orchestral music. We also need an experienced arranger to spin straw into gold!

This production is an ego-free zone, and musicians must be willing to collaborate, work closely with other writers, and take direction in order to produce a professionally harmonious whole. Compositions used will be assigned due credit and copyright, and it is hoped that a CD might be produced as a result.

This project is a rare opportunity for musicians of all ages to use their composing talents in our community. Experience in writing for musical theatre is not essential, but would be particularly welcome. Thanks to the internet, it is not necessary that you live in Victoria, or even Australia, to contribute to this vital side of the production.

For further information, or to express your interest, please contact Meg Green via Facebook message or email: meggles.g@gmail.com

Please share this post so we can reach as many talented people as possible. Thank you.

Wim Verdouw zijn tocht naar geloof in slechts één God

Het gebeurd wel meer dat mensen zich beginnen af te vragen wie God nu toch werkelijk was. Zo ook deed Wim Verdouw , voorganger van de Messiaanse gemeente Immanuël dat.

In een interview verteld hij over zijn meest heftige jaren van zijn leven toen hij belandde bij een Evangelisch-Charismatische gemeente waar hij zich enthousiast verdiepte in het Pinkstergeloof, maar tot de conclusie kwam dat er Bijbels gezien niets van al die geesten en tongenbidden klopte. Bovendien verwierp men de Tora: het moest allemaal vanuit het gevoel. De Wet was immers ‘weggedaan’.”

Hij vertelt ook hoe hij samen met zeven andere gelovigen de moed bijeen schraapte om niet meer enkel in zijn huis samen te komen op Sabbatmorgen, maar om na een jaar een zaaltje te gaan huren en een gemeente te starten. Ze stapten dus naar de notaris voor een officiële registratie. ‘Een kerk beginnen? Dat hoor je niet zo vaak meer tegenwoordig’, zei de notaris hen.
