Swedish weather
Postad fredagen den 21 april 2023 21:58
Today I did what is perhaps the most forbidden thing in Sweden, I wore a hat even though it was sunny and about 15C outside.
Yep, that's right.
Swedes generally believe that you should dress how you want. If you want, you can wear a t-shirt when it's cold outside, that's OK.
If you want to wear a skirt if you are a man, that's OK. But bewar [...]
Merry Christmas
Postad söndagen den 18 december 2022 20:45
Christmas is, first and foremost, about Love, God's Love.How much does God love us? God loves us so much that God gave us the most precious gift imaginable, Jesus, God's own Son. That's the heart of Christmas. (John 3:16)
Christmas is a time of renewal, of fresh starts and coming together.
I hope that this Christmas will bring you joy and peace [...]
Advent
Postad tisdagen den 29 november 2022 15:39
Celebrating Advent involves spending time in spiritual preparation.
The word advent comes from the Latin word adventus meaning "arrival" or "coming," particularly the coming of something of great importance.
No one is really sure when Advent was first celebrated but it dates back to at least 567 when monks were ordered to fast during December le [...]
Small birds
Postad torsdagen den 13 oktober 2022 08:48
For many years, the number of small birds in our residential areas declined.
Nobody really knows why. Could be pesticides, habitats for the birds, etc. But then a few years ago the small birds came back.
Last year we had a record number of nesting pairs of tawny owls, blue tits, chaffinch and house sparrows. Also a lot of robins.
Last win [...]
Shootings 4
Postad lördagen den 27 augusti 2022 09:32
I don't want to be snarky, but even more shootings.
The title is shootings 4, but it's not at all shooting no 4 in Sweden. The number is way higher.
I don't have the exact number but I think 47 people are shot dead this year so far.
Every day when you open your ipad to read the news, you are met with terrible images. Yesterday, a mother and her [...]
Shootings 3
Postad torsdagen den 25 augusti 2022 14:36
Now it has happened again. Another person shot dead in my town. Unfortunately, it happens daily in Sweden, but this time it was unfortunately a step further. A man was shot dead, on a Friday afternoon in a crowded shopping center. The perpetrator was only 15 years old.
A passing tourist was hit and is seriously injured.
100's of people became wi [...]
Door bell
Postad tisdagen den 16 augusti 2022 20:34
Nobody is knocking at my door.
When I was a child, the doorbell rang often. Neighbors who needed to borrow sugar or flour. Friends who wanted to go out and play hockey or football.
Often it could be salespeople. Vacuum cleaners, insurance, art, etc.
It also happened that Jehovah's witnesses knocked, and once there were two well-dressed guys wh [...]
Old churches
Postad måndagen den 1 augusti 2022 15:28
I love old churches. The history, the architecture, the art and the people behind the church itself and the society there and then. In Sweden and Skåne county we have many medieval churches. Many have unfortunately been demolished or rebuilt to accommodate a growing congregation. This happened especially in the 19th century. Unfortunately, [...]
Serious errors about Christian faith in textbooks
Postad måndagen den 4 juli 2022 13:08
When I went to school, just like now, we had religion teaching, not Christian teaching like when my parents went to school.
In the relatively few hours during a school year, today's students will devote these hours to all the major religions.
I have noticed when talking to younger people that they lack basic knowledge of what Christianity stands f [...]
Worthless debates
Postad fredagen den 1 juli 2022 10:31
Right now there is a debate in Sweden about "Religious schools" should be alowed or not.
In Sweden so called religious school are not that religious, they need to follow the curriculum and other laws.
But there are some religious schools that are a problem, but as usual instead of dealing with them, they judge all schools as equal bad.
Alm [...]
The stumbling block
Postad fredagen den 24 juni 2022 15:32
I rather recently read an article by one of our best known historians here in Sweden named Dick Harrisson, who also used to be my sons professor in History at Lunds university. The headline was :"There is a militant anti-Jesus current in our society" Some say that he never existed. He is a fairitale figure. Harrisson has just writ [...]
Persecution
Postad fredagen den 29 april 2022 11:00
Sad to say but recently we had riots here in Sweden. A right wing politician from Denmark, came to burn the Quran. Many people were angry and the results were burning police cars, injured police officers etc.
Freedom of speech is very strong but in order to reach muslims, burning the Quran is not the way, even though throwing rocks is not th [...]
Easter
Postad tisdagen den 26 april 2022 20:54
The Resurrection of Christ is the basis of our Christian Faith, it proves that Jesus is God.
Paul writes: (I Cor 15:14, 17, 20)
14 and if the Messiah hasn’t been raised, our royal proclamation is empty, and so is your faith.
17 and if the Messiah wasn’t raised, your faith is pointless, and you are still in your sins.
20 But in fact [...]
Merry Christmas or!

Christian persecution has been going on for centuries.
In the Roman empire, christians were slaughtered.
Jesus said that: You will be hated for my name sake. I will send you out as lambs to the wolves.
In many parts of the world today, Christians are still killed for their faith. Open Doors has a list with the most dangerous places on earth for [...]
Elections, Again!
Postad fredagen den 26 november 2021 12:36
Election time to the Swedish church.
I wrote about this in 2013 and in 2017.
Nothing really has changed.
The Church of Sweden is a Lutheran national church. A former state church, that was separated from the state in the year 2000. The church has just under 5.8 million members by the end of 2020, it is the largest Christian denomination in Swed [...]
