Like my son who is saving up money to buy a drum kit. Like the actress in pursuit of fame. Or the entrepreneur who lost the concept of “enough”, always risking, always pushing for one more idea. We love it! Our mouths fall open for the dedicated person. We naturally respect it. We applaud when someone worked really hard to achieve something. http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/an-extract-from-my-journal/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/an-extract-from-my-journal/ Wed, 10 Nov 2010 06:05:23 GMT Have Christians become more afraid of being hurt in churches than fearing insignificance in this life? In business, we understand risk and profit, but when it comes to God and His church, we have grown comfortable with the wickedness of complacent self-protection. God does not, cannot, and will not respect Christian cordiality without Christian selflessness. http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/sovereignty-motivates-prayer/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/sovereignty-motivates-prayer/ Mon, 01 Nov 2010 08:15:59 GMT Matt 6:8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. So Jesus is telling us not to pray like Gentiles, and gives a reason with this amazing statement, that we should “pray to our Father, who knows what we need before we ask him”. Our first joy is that we pray to our Father! http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/dont-pray-like-the-gentiles-/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/dont-pray-like-the-gentiles-/ Mon, 25 Oct 2010 14:38:32 GMT Matt. 6:7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. According to this text, Gentiles pray, but their prayers are broken for a couple of reasons. Gentiles trust in prayer, not in God. http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/letter-from-heinz-to-3ci/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/letter-from-heinz-to-3ci/ Fri, 15 Oct 2010 13:39:08 GMT Hello 3ci, I pray for us, and more specifically, for all of our private lives of prayer, selfless generosity and faith. May the God who rewards those who diligently seek Him, reward you. May you realize how eagerly He awaits your heartfelt sentences, cries and worship. On the other end of your sentence, is the ear of God. On the other side of every banknote or electronic transfer, is the all-seeing Lord of heaven and earth. http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/-6-thoughts-from-6-verses-about-salvation/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/-6-thoughts-from-6-verses-about-salvation/ Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:41:41 GMT Is. 12:1 You* will say in that day: “I will give thanks to you, O LORD, for though you were angry with me, your anger turned away, that you might comfort me. Is. 12:2 “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORDGOD* is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.” Is. 12:3 With joy you* will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4 And you will say in that day: “Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted. http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/news-from-heinz-/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/news-from-heinz-/ Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:15:49 GMT urrently, we're working at Mattias Heimlicher's studio in Switzerland. Matthys worked here a couple of times. We flew our Sunday night before last with a hard drive Fuzz gave us with all the recorded material on it. ( I think it is unfortunate that 'fuzz' ryhms with 'buzz', given the fact that he's such a good recording engineer.) He had a massive task. http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/immutability-and-flux-the-story-of-god-and-his-people/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/immutability-and-flux-the-story-of-god-and-his-people/ Sun, 20 Jun 2010 15:02:43 GMT I’ve been quiet in 2010 and, with this article, I’d like to tell you why. Over the last four years, more has happened in my life than the decade before. I’m sure you feel the same. I’d like to mention that God used death and difficulty to germinate seeds of life and overcoming. It changed me. Most of this document is a repentance, or confession or a change of mind. It’s the stuff of a merciful God. http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/what-would-happen-to-obama-if-he-pulled-a-zuma/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/what-would-happen-to-obama-if-he-pulled-a-zuma/ Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:04:51 GMT In this blog, I’m keen to hear some of your thoughts on one or any of these random questions… It might inspire more posts from my side. What would happen to Obama if news broke of a love child? Why are we so unwilling to address churchiness, truthiness or apathy? Is it because we only value truth if others value it too, which means we’re unconvinced ourselves? http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/on-the-move/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/on-the-move/ Fri, 12 Feb 2010 13:41:40 GMT We had an amazing time with the Foresttown bunch and we shared incredible moments with them this past week. God's doing delightful things in Foresttown Church! http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/forget-the-building-fund-remember-jesus/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/forget-the-building-fund-remember-jesus/ Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:07:55 GMT Is Jesus enough? Enough for you in your life as it is currently? Enough in your church, for your church, before all other visions?Can Jesus really be enough? http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/i-like-driscoll-its-the-imitators-im-concerned-about-/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/i-like-driscoll-its-the-imitators-im-concerned-about-/ Mon, 18 Jan 2010 07:11:18 GMT I’ll start with my end-point for this little ramble; We should not run after great men, but rather discover what they were running after. In Hebrews 13 we are told to remember our leaders who spoke to us the word of God, to consider the outcome of their way of life, and to imitate their faith. Their faith. http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/how-to-arrive-at-good-conclusions/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/how-to-arrive-at-good-conclusions/ Fri, 15 Jan 2010 19:27:08 GMT Yesterday, I became aware of how easy it is to arrive at poor conclusions. I realized it while I was reading Isaiah. This is the verse that got me thinking along these lines in Isaiah 1v5. "Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint." http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/exciting-things-heinz-schrader/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/exciting-things-heinz-schrader/ Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:28:36 GMT Coming into 2010, I realize that it’s been a while since I have been so excited! And we have so many reasons! http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/how-second-hand-revelation-2hr-kills-part-2/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/how-second-hand-revelation-2hr-kills-part-2/ Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:10:57 GMT A second danger of living off borrowed truth, is that we appear wiser and further than we actually are. This is nice at first, but comes with a price tag on credit. It is nice because the success of second hand revelation seemed as good, but was pricey because it didn't last as long. http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/how-second-hand-revelation-2hr-kills-part-1-/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/how-second-hand-revelation-2hr-kills-part-1-/ Tue, 20 Oct 2009 06:35:42 GMT A thought for Christians who know the gospel. (If you don't know the life-giving Christ, I apologize for this embarrassing collapse among us Christians. While I wish I was innocent, I was born in '75 and am a recovering info-junkie myself. Peace.) http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/staying-free-is-war-not-a-battle-part-1/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/staying-free-is-war-not-a-battle-part-1/ Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:46:41 GMT Welcome to this blog. Heinz is my name, like the famous tomato sauce. Jesus made me a Christian and it was bloody. Many matters matter and i’d like to be inside a mattering matter when it matters, because the blood that freed me is too worthy to be wasted on purposeless freedom. http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/whole-bible-christianity-part-2-/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/whole-bible-christianity-part-2-/ Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:49:59 GMT Even though this little wineskin (of creation, redemption, mission and consummation) is limited somehow, I am finding it quite helpful to challenge my own view of God. How much of God do I see? http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/whole-bible-christianity-part-1-/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/whole-bible-christianity-part-1-/ Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:56:35 GMT Creation, Redemption, Mission and Consummation form a beautiful set of “chapters”, reflecting Genesis to Revelation, and ultimately, reflecting the fullness of God. The beauty of it is how easy it becomes to see which facets of God we’re neglecting. Some love God Creator, others love the Lord of salvation, yet others see the thrills of God’s mission on every page of the bible or the urgency of the coming end of all things. All of these are good and none needs to be neglected. However, we seem to have a natural “bent” to one or two of these, which limits our representation of God’s fullness. What we see of God, we celebrate and become. What we neglect in seeing God, we live in the lack of. http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/impatience-is-agnostic/ http://www.3ci.co.za/heinz-blog/impatience-is-agnostic/ Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:57:40 GMT Patience Patients Don’t you just love queues? Or how about holding on the line, listening to a four-track recording of “chariots of fire” for 47 minutes and 23 seconds!!!? My guess is that your blood is boiling already from all those suppressed memories being triggered. This blog is about the godliness of patience and the sinfulness of impatience. Point #1; We are impatient. Period. Agreed? Yes, others are impatient, but how about you? Point #2; You are impatient You too are impatient. Agree again? Let’s move on… I’m not interested in getting you to confess impatience. Our whole dilemma lies in our ease to admit this.
