One-woman show highlights the memories of Corrie ten Boom, attracts Christians & Jews to learn about one of the "Righteous among the Nations."

While largely unfamiliar to most Jews, Corrie ten Boom is a well-known hero among believing Christians, a model of how Christians should act in dark times. Her private story of faith and heroism was depicted in the play "Corrie Remembers", staged last Sunday to a wide audience of Christians and Jews from all over northern Israel.

The one-woman show highlights the memories of Corrie ten Boom, one of the "Righteous among the Nations." Corrie's story remains little-known to Jews. However, the City of Afula and the Galilee Center for Studies in Jewish-Christian Relations at Yezreel Valley College worked to change that by bringing this drama to Israel.

Corrie Ten Boom Explains what Replaces Sin in our Heart

                                                                                     
"When the Lord makes your heart clean with His blood, then instead of sin coming forth from your heart, the spirit of love, peace, kindness, goodness and self control is there, and you are so happy! You could not do this yourself. He does it."

If, like many prisoners so often do, you feel that your heart is full of sin and nothing can rid you of it,read again the “words of wisdom” from Corrie ten Boom above, and then allow Jesus to replace your sin by His blood!

Not I, But Christ by Corrie Ten Boom

Once a man went to the village priest to confess his sins and receive absolution. He said, “I stole three sacks of potatoes.” The priest listened and pointed to repentance for forgiveness.  When they had finished talking, the priest said: “I heard about that theft, but thought only two sacks were taken. You spoke of three.”

“Yes,” the man answered, “but tomorrow I am going to steal the third one.”

In John 8:11 Jesus told the woman caught in Adultery, “Go, and sin no more.”

Jesus died on the cross to set sinners free. He or she whom Jesus sets free, is free indeed!

Corrie Ten Boom knows the importance of being set free. To learn more about her story, take time to read The Hiding Place.

Messages of God's Abundance by Corrie Ten Boom

There is nothing in which God demonstrates His love more clearly than in His promises and His commandments. The amount of God’s love is unlimited, but we only receive as much as we use.

     - Messages of God's Abundance by Corrie Ten Boom

=================================================================
Often times we forget that every promise in the Bible comes with a condition. Corrie Ten Boom never forgot that! And, she understood that God’s supply of love never dwindles, but, rather, it is our willingness to seek it that often diminishes. Her whole life Corrie Ten Boom sought God’s love, and so can, and should you!

Real-time obedience

This is a real-time essay. The Lord is calling me to obey him in something today, and I would like to write to you about it as I process it. The matter concerns an angry email I received this morning and my working through how to reply. My first reaction was self-defense. I felt I had grounds. I felt I had been misunderstood. I felt I could justify what I was being accused of.

Still, I have decided to wait a while before replying. In the meantime I have read the Bible, taken a long walk, had breakfast, replied to other emails, and watched a 1974 interview of Corrie Ten Boom.

This was enough time for the Holy Spirit who lives inside me to suggest I trash my scripted reply to the angry letter. It is possible to be right in an argument (and yet I may not be as right as I think I am) but to be called to a higher response than rightness. If I respond to my friend with my justifications, he may agree with me or he may not. But will that produce the best result? Paul says, “The aim of our charge is love” (1 Timothy 1:5). What response could I give to the man that would be most aligned with that aim?

Over the past few hours I have come around to seeing that my words to my friend (the words that prompted his terse email) were not the best; they fell short of Christ’s call to “be perfect.” There are a dozen things I could have said that would have been better—that would have been peaceable, gentle, fruitful (James 3:17). And when we know what is the best thing to do and yet we settle for something less, we sin (James 4:17).

I have found throughout my life that when apologizing and asking forgiveness, it is best to do it cleanly. Tacking on a rider, even a mild and subtle one, ruins a worthy apology. When I speak to my friend next, I will simply tell him that I should not have spoken to him that way—and then may the Lord put a clamp on my mouth. Let me make this a public commitment before you all.

I know that afterward I will feel strengthened in my spirit if I do things God’s way and not in the way of fleshly desire. One always does. The choice of sin always carries its own punishment in the body (Romans 1:27), and the choice o f obedience its own reward (2 Corinthians 3:18).
