Latin Playground Preview! A New Way to Hear Swedenborg!
The Latin Playground is a new upcoming production from the Swedenborg Foundation. New episodes coming in January, 2025.

The Latin Playground is a new way to engage with Swedenborg's writings. Swedenborg wrote in Neo-Latin. At the Swedenborg Foundation, we translate the spiritual insights he wrote down into modern, accessible English in our New Century Edition of Swedenborg's theological works, but something new happens when you interface with the Latin itself.

How Does Faith Save Us? The Key Factor Found in Survey

Andliga kunskaper som är bra att ha (Pastor Göran Appelgren)
Goda skördar i sju år som följs av sju magra år. Det är bra att vara förberedd. Farao såg hur sju kor ”betade i vassen”. Nästa gång du ser någon som hämtar näring från läsning av Bibeln, Swedenborg eller andra källor, så gissar jag att den människan ”betar i vassen”, dvs skaffar sig nyttiga, andliga, inspirerande kunskaper som är bra att ha när man senare hamnar i svåra lägen i livet.

Vad ska du bli när du blir stor? En tacksägelse
Swedenborg: ”Allt det följande finns i det första, till exempel finns trädet redan i rotskottet.” När vi siktar mot något vi verkligen, verkligen vill uppnå i livet, så är det något som växer till hela tiden med början i det lilla. Den växtkraften är en gudomlig gåva som vi förvaltar. Vi tackar för det.

19 juni – Nya Kyrkans dag
19 juni är Nya Kyrkans dag. Det är en helt och hållet andlig högtid. År 1770 var Swedenborg med om en händelse i den andliga världen. Han skriver: ”När detta verk var avslutat, sammankallade Herren sina tolv lärjungar som hade följt Honom i världen, och dagen efter sände Han ut dem i hela den andliga världen till att predika det glada budskapet, att Herren Gud Jesus Kristus härskar, samt att Hans rike skall vara i evigheters evigheter”. Det firar vi. Och vi lyfter fram att genom Herren har människan nu alla möjligheter at...

Til Far gjennom meg (Pastor Göran Appelgren)
"Det er Herren Gud vår Frelser vi må vende oss til, fordi han er himmelens og jordens Gud, han er vår frigjører og frelser, som er allmektig, allvitende og allestedsnærværende. Han er selve barmhjertigheten og rettferdigheten. Vi vender oss til Herren fordi vi er skapt av ham, og fordi kirken er huset for hans får, og fordi han flere ganger i den nye pakten befaler oss til å vende oss til ham med tilbedelse og kjærlighet… Vi skal ikke vende oss til det guddommelige ved å ”klatre over et annet sted”, som betyr å vende oss direkte til Gud v...

Inre rum, sång och Helig Ande (Pastor Göran Appelgren)
Alla människor har ett hemligt rum. Swedenborg kallar det för "den inre människan". Där sker något. I vissa ögonblick är det som att det där inre rummet tränger igenom hela ens väsen. Något sjunger inom en, och om man vågar sjunger man ut. Musik och andlighet hör ihop. Gudstro och harmoni - i naturen, i själens inre rum hör ihop.
