YOUTH WEEK - DECEMBER 2000

TUESDAY 12 December

The text for this morning's service was taken from Matthew 7:12-14. Rev Erlo Stegen compared the great sayings of philosophers like Hellel, Aristotle, Plato, Socrates and Confucius, who also spoke about avoiding things you don't like being done to you. But, as he pointed out, there is a fundamental difference between the sayings of these great philosophers and this saying of Jesus in our text. The sages of wisdom emphasised the negative and passive aspect whereas Jesus emphasised the positive and active role.

This afternoon was a presentation of Christians for Truth (see CFT) and Radio Khwezi (see Khwezi). Then, a time was given for testimonies.

This evening the Open Doors organisation took the service and presented two films about the suffering church in the Sudan and in Iran.
