Ava is werkelijk uniek. Je zou haar kunnen bestempelen als een Chinees-Canadese Liesbeth Salander met een zwak voor Vuitton-tassen. In tegenstelling tot Stieg Larssons heldin beschikt ze over prima sociale vaardigheden, waardoor ze vertrouwelijke informatie en verduisterde financiële geldstromen boven tafel weet te krijgen zonder (nou ja, meestal) geweld te gebruiken.

In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul elaborates on, in a most wonderful way, the God-given, Christ-secured, Holy Spirit-applied privileges of the Christian life. Here, perhaps more than anywhere else in the New Testament, we are brought face to face with the "unsearchable riches of Christ" (3:8). Step by adoring step, Paul introduces us to the spiritual blessings that are the predestined, blood-bought privileges of all who have put their self-abandoning trust in Jesus Christ. His letter to the Ephesians is a spiritual Mount Everest, turning us away from ourselves and placing the spotlight of God's great salvation wholly on Christ.
Psalm 23 is probably the best known and most read passage in the Bible - a wonderfully reassuring picture of the believer’s life. Through it we learn the Lord God almighty is the faithful, heavenly Shepherd of his sheep - not only faithfully leading his sheep in life but also through the valley of the shadow of death - bringing them into his house where he will dwell with them forever. Reflecting on Psalm 23 verse by verse will help us see how rich and privileged the believer’s life is as we learn how personally God is committed to protect and bring his people to be with him to heaven.Table of 1.
