Let's give the Bible a German twist.

Hello there all. Apologies for the lack of posts recently, there has in all fairness been a distinct lack of things to write about. But seeing as the last post was all me, it's time I turned the attention back to the important one in this blog, God.

Unser Gott. Der Herr. Die heilige Geist. Over the past fortnight this is how our Lord and Saviour has been referred to. Jesus Christus. We 'preisen' him in the morning. We 'beten' for forgiveness and others. I've had an insight into the German way of doing things for God, and it's been the most amazing experience of my life. I may not understand everything that's being said when we pray, or know what I'm singing, but you can always feel the presence of God in and around you while you pray or sing. I've had the strangest experience of being able to understand what people are saying when we pray, as if God wants me to hear what is being said to him. Being surrounded by so many like minded Christians has been a real time of learning for me.

Now. If I was to tell you a verse, I would do it in English. But since I'm here, I'll tell you one or two in German. I know this seems like a silly post, but I just feel like doing this, sharing a bit of German with everyone whilst I sit waiting on my clothes to dry.

Philipper 4,13

Ich vermag alles durch den, der mich mächtig macht, Christus.

Jeremia 29,11

Denn ich weiß wohl, was ich für Gedanken über euch habe, spricht der HERR: Gedanken des Friedens und nicht des Leidens, daß ich euch gebe das Ende, des ihr wartet.

1 Thessalonicher 5,11

Darum ermahnet euch untereinander und bauet einer den andern, wie ihr denn tut.

Jesaja 54,10

Denn es sollen wohl Berge weichen und Hügel hinfallen; aber meine Gnade soll nicht von dir weichen, und der Bund meines Friedens soll nicht hinfallen, spricht der HERR, dein Erbarmer.

Johannes 3,16

Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt, daß er seinen eingeborenen Sohn gab, auf daß alle, die an ihn glauben, nicht verloren werden, sondern das ewige Leben haben.

I couldn't put those all there and forget about possibly the most well known verse in the Bible. The verse that basically sums up God's word.

Until I return home. God bless, and schlaf gut.
