So here I am, back after the holidays. Summer is over in Kiruna, there is chill in the air and the first autumn colours are coming. We made a hike of 5 days in the mountains the last few days. Along Giebnegaisi (Kebnekaise), the highest mountain of Sweden (still - the ice summit has been melting from 2121 meters in the eighties to 2101 last year. Another 12 meters and it is no longer the highest). On we went through Siellavaggi to Singi. A walk through a roadless land and through a beautiful landscape.
But now I am back at work. Starting a new job, as Regional Secretary for Asia at the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden, still the other half of my time working as pastor for the Sámi in that same church.
Now I sit in a warm and summer-like Stockholm, quite a change after the last few days in the mountains!
A pastor and scientist writes about interesting things in life. Indigenous theology, science and theology, science, and other things. In english, or some other language.

Thanks for this article! It's wonderful to see how Christians are impacting the world through the internet. For a great blog that's assisting Christians to navigate the often bewildering territory of love and relationships in an increasingly secular world, check out www.christiancupid.com/blog
Hejsan, tack för ditt inlägg i debatten om evolution och vetenskap. Jag kommer från "andra" hållet, filosofisk teologi och är inte vetenskapsman, men ämnet intresserar mig mycket. Jag håller helt med dig i vad Du skriver.
Hallo Gerard,
een poos geleden had ik contact met jou nav een artikel in het Nederlands Dagblad. Je beantwoordde mijn mail en noemde iets over contacten met Native Amaricans in Nederland. Kun je me daar nog iets meer over mailen?
vriendelijke groet

- A PRAYER FROM JESUS -
This prayer is from Jesus that we may here from Him, that He may meet our needs. It only consist of three simple steps.
1) We need to read one scripture. This will focus us in the word that brings everlasting life.
2) Since this prayer is from Jesus we need to direct our prayer to Him personally. Too often Christian focus they're prayer's to G_D the father. Scripture proclaims that Jesus should be the focus of our prayer.
3) The simplest part of this Prayer is to ask Jesus one question. Please, all that is required for this question is to make it simple. Let Jesus Himself finish the question when He gives you that understanding through prayer.
The PRAYER
The scripture that is the focus of this prayer is "ACTS 2:38". It's not necessary to do any study into this scripture. Jesus Himself will bestow the understanding that will resonate in your heart.
The most important part of this prayer is that we need to direct our prayer directly to Jesus. If you normally would say Father in your prayer, change your focus from the Father to Christ Jesus by lifting Jesus name up every time you would normally use Father in your prayer.
Maybe the hardest part of this prayer is the question that we need to ask Jesus. For man as we are, always try to understand the question and may add many additional quires. The simplest question is all that is required.
Simply ask Jesus 'WHY'
I see you have "scientist" in your profile, thus This "scientific" insight into the plausibility of the resurrection may be of interest you:

The End Of Christianity - Finding a Good God in an Evil World - Pg.31 -
William Dembski
Excerpt: "In mathematics there are two ways to go to infinity. One is to grow large without measure. The other is to form a fraction in which the denominator goes to zero. The Cross is a path of humility in which the infinite God becomes finite and then contracts to zero, only to resurrect and thereby unite a finite humanity within a newfound infinity."

Philippians 2: 5-11
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
"Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to that which is known to us of nature."
