Rabo 9 November 2011. Malam ini sampai pukul 10.30 panitia masih berkutat dengan cek terakhir kesiapan pelaksanaan. semua kebutuhan masing-masing seksi di sweeping sampai tuntas. dan meskipun sudah tinggal 2 hari lagi ternyata masih banyak kebutuhan yang belum tersiapkan.

White 30.01.2011 Introduction How important is the Kingdom of God in Scripture?   It is the very heart of the life and message of Jesus Christ.   If you take the Gospel of Matthew you discover that this was the core message of John the Baptist: “Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand”. [1]   According to Matthew Jesus continued this message with exactly the same words: “Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand”. [2]   The whole Gospel is saturated with teaching about, and references to, this Kingdom. [3]   When we turn to the second part of Luke’s writings, called the Acts of the Apostles, we read that for the forty days between his resurrection and ascension Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of God . [4]   The first chapter begins with the Kingdom of God , an
