I went to Sofia kyrka (part of the swedish lutheran church) this afternoon. There Jonas Gardell (comedian, writer and artist) shared his view on who Jesus Christ was. Om Jesus Gardell previously wrote a book called About God (2003) and this easter his new book About Jesus (2009) was published. I haven’t had the time [...]

I have been preparing for yet another sermon. The title is “One step further” and has to do with the fact that we all need to change certain things in our lives and this Sunday we will be looking at how we can make that next step of change happen. As I’ve been writing I [...]

This past Sunday I preached on Gideon and shared the story about how the angel of the Lord came and sat under the tree at Ofra. The angel didn’t start by a simple “Hello” but with a grand opening line; “The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor.” (Judges 6:12, ESV). Anyhow, I [...]

My summer reading of biographies continues and this time with a book about John Wesley. I’ve started to read “Wesley and the People called Methodists” written by Richard P. Heitzenrater. The first part of this 300+ pages volume is about the early development of the Church in England and how it gradually became the Church [...]

Reflections on “Wigglesworth – the complete story”

This spring I decided to dedicate part of my summer-reading to a few, different biographies. Why? Well, mostly to get inspired and hopefully a bit stirred up and encouraged to go deeper and explore more and maybe even new areas of my discipleship. The first book I decided to read was Wigglesworth – the complete [...]

Harris is in Tokyo, Japan to film a commercial for Suntory whiskey. As he arrives to the film set he meets the [...]

I was sitting out in the sun this afternoon reading the last couple of chapters in a book. Beside me sat a group of three. It was really hard to really focus on the reading and I was constantly interrupted by their conversation. Suddenly the two girls made a comment on the trousers I believe [...]

I’m getting close to the end of yet another book – “When Heaven Invades Earth” written by Bill Johnson, pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, CA. Throughout the last couple of weeks I’ve encountered some people (and books) that have created a hunger deep within. Firstly; In February I went on a New Wine leaders [...]

I’m looking for a new place to live. All I need is an apartment, nothing fancy. In my search for a new home I can’t get this thing out of my head; how is it that it is so hard to find a place to live? Why does it feel like there is a growing [...]
