I should’ve been sleeping hours ago. This will be my last post for tonight, I promise. I just wanted to post this wideo that I found on YouTube. It makes me proud to consider myself a quaker.
Earlier tonight, the Norwegian Student Christian Federation (NSCF) here in Tromsø (TSCF) got together to [...]

Gud, du har gitt meg de ressursene jeg trenger for å gjøre din gjerning. La meg ikke opphøye meg selv på dine vegne. Tilgi meg for de gangene jeg har gjort det. Gi meg ydmykhet så jeg kan se det av deg i alle mennesker, også de jeg mener gjør urett. Hjelp meg å se [...]

to shed for those who suffer

Jeg møter stadig folk som har mista sin tro, eller rettere sagt; folk som er blitt frastjålet sin tro av mennesker som kaller seg kristne.
