Die Kultuur en kategese
Superficial smatterings of truth, blurry notions about God and godliness, and thoughtlessness about the issues of living—careerwise, communitywise, familywise, and churchwise—are all too often the marks of evangelical congregations today (Gary Parrett en J.

Die Superman-vers
Ek is tot alles in staat deur Hom wat my krag gee (Filippense 4:13)
Ben Witherington skryf ‘n interessante blog hieroor. Ons sien vandag T-hemde met Fil 4:13 daarop. Soos Superman kan ons nou oor hoë geboue vlieg en gaan waar niemand nog vantevore gegaan het nie.
