Carpenter's Greek: Galatians 1:15
http://carpenters-greek.blogspot.com/2012/03/galatians-115.html
Wednesday, 7 March 2012. 8158;Οτε δὲ εὐδόκησεν ὁ θεὸς ὁ ἀφορίσας με ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός μου καὶ καλέσας διὰ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ. Δε - connecting word, if translated should be but or and. Εὐδοκησεν - he was pleased. Ὁ θεος - God. Ἀφορισας - having separated. Ἐκ - out of. Κοιλιας -cavity or hollow, here it means womb. Μητρος - of mother. Καλεσας - having called. Δια - through (when followed by the genitive case). Της χαριτος αὐτου - his grace. My preferred translation for the moment:. I am so...

Carpenter's Greek: Galatians 1:10
http://carpenters-greek.blogspot.com/2012/02/galatians-110.html
Friday, 24 February 2012. Ἄρτι γὰρ ἀνθρώπους πείθω ἢ τὸν Θεόν; ἢ ζητῶ ἀνθρώποις ἀρέσκειν; εἰ γὰρ ἔτι ἀνθρώποις ἤρεσκον, Χριστοῦ δοῦλος οὐκ ἂν ἤμην. Γαρ - for or because (timid word that avoids starting a sentence, but logically should be there). Ἀνθρωπους - people, accusative case which tells us it is the object of the sentence. Πειθω - I persuade. Τον Θεον - God, accusative case and thus an object of the sentence. So this must be phrased as a question. Ζητω - I seek (do I seek? This tr...

Carpenter's Shoes: October 2014
http://carpenters-shoes.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2014. My daughter turned 21 a week ago. She had friends and family around over the weekend. We had a beautiful day for it. Links to this post. This was parked at the back of the Ravensmead Church last Sunday. The rain has eventually stopped (mostly) in Cape Town and church attendance is picking up. It is also actually light when the early services start. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Antioch Crossing Blog Community. Church and Theology Blogs.

Carpenter's Shoes: September 2014
http://carpenters-shoes.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 27, 2014. Wednesday was a public holiday and our family went exploring up the West Coast. We did a 4km walk in the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve and saw many pretty flowers. Links to this post. A House in Gugulethu. Links to this post. Wednesday, September 24, 2014. Well that was the moment. The words said were "Lord, send your Holy Spirit upon Jenny Hillebrand for the office and work of a Minister in the Church of Christ.". I feel privileged to have had such a group pray for me! The phot...

Carpenter's Shoes: June 2014
http://carpenters-shoes.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 20, 2014. For those who are interested, I thought I would write down what happens in a MCSA probationer's ordination year. For me, it was interesting to see the picture that the committee had drawn of me. I have a terrible tendency to accept people's conception of me and 'play along' and this has been exacerbated by the church training. I suppose also I have become aware of it, so this is a good thing. My own screening interview was fine. The next evening sees the witness service where all t...

Carpenter's Shoes: January 2014
http://carpenters-shoes.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 27, 2014. Parow Methodist Web Page. I am starting to update the web page for Parow Methodist. It can be found at www.parowwesleymethodistchurch.co.za. And no, I didn't create the URL - the web page was here before me! This is what I wrote today to the community:. This last Sunday was my induction service. It was held at Ravensmead Methodist Church as I will also be working there part-time. (Rev Fidler's induction service was held at Parow, so it was Ravensmead's turn this time! This is th...

Carpenter's Shoes: April 2015
http://carpenters-shoes.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 10, 2015. Links to this post. Thursday, April 09, 2015. Fresh Expressions, fresh blogging. I started attending the Mission Shaped Ministry Course being run in Cape Town this morning. One of the suggestions for the course is that participants find a way of reinforcing what they have learnt - by journalling, sharing with others, blogging, . . . So I thought maybe this blog could come back to life for a bit. The best thing about today was the networking. I didn't anticipate this, and perha...
