Jehovah Afflicted In All Our Affliction

Jehovah Afflicted In All Our Affliction

Jehovah’s love and pity do not end in inaction: we read, “he saved them.” Specifically, “The angel of his presence saved them” (v. 9). Literally, the angel of his presence is the angel of his face. The face of Jehovah shows us his demeanor, disposition, or attitude displayed toward us. Jehovah’s face is against the wicked, but when we look into Jehovah’s face in faith we see love and pity: we see affection, sympathy and compassion.

Bredenhof on Bavinck and "Psychology from the Bible"

"Bavinck is one of my favourite theologians. I love him for always being thought-provoking, but also for (almost always) grounding his thinking in Scripture. He was one of those men who embodied copiousness – he was filled to overflowing with the reading he’d done. He read broadly and deeply on all kinds of subjects and this book reflects it. There might be more scientifically up-to-date treatments of psychology from a biblical perspective, but Bavinck’s relevance will no doubt abide for many years to come."

The Communion of Saints (2): Practicing It

Quite simply, you are not the only saint. The communion of saints includes many others apart from you. It includes the congregation where you are a member. It includes members of other denominations of churches. It includes members of your household: your spouse, your parents, your children, your older and younger siblings.
