Catherine Kooiker returned home on Tuesday after being in the hospital in Rochester for a few days where she was treated for pain. They adjusted her pain medicine, and she is feeling better. Let us continue to remember her, Kerwen, and their family in our prayers.
Henry Hoekstra has been having difficulty walking. An MRI indicated he has several spots on his brain that are possibly cancer. He is scheduled to meet with an oncologist on Monday. Let us remember Henry and his family in our prayers. But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. (Isaiah 43:1-2)

The new RFPA book, Knowing God in the Last Days, is on the tables for Book Club members in the fellowship hall. Knowing God in the Last Days, written by Mark Hoeksema, is an explanation of the general epistle of Peter to the early New Testament church. The primary theme of the letter is the knowledge of God, a concept that occurs many times and in
various contexts throughout the book. This short epistle contains a wealth of instruction for the church today. The secondary theme of 2 Peter is the application of the knowledge of God to the last days in which we live. Especially in his third chapter, Peter reveals to the church the knowledge of God as it relates to the end times. Based on exegesis of the Greek text, this commentary gives clarity of explanation to God’s people regarding necessary and important aspects of today’s Christian life. If you are not a Book Club member and want this book,
contact Betty Kooiker, paula@rfpa.org, or 616-457-5970.
