Haan Quotes

The Christian life is Christ living through a man, not a man trying to be Christ.

Life can be lived with joy and peace amid it's heartache and pain, for with God's help our hate can cease and peace and justice will reign.

We cannot work up what God alone can give.

God makes clear in His Word that He does not anoint gifts or talents, but men. God is looking for men who know Him well, fear apathy supremely, and hate sin immensely. God is looking for leaders.

Jee Utha' Sanson mein jo samaye wo, Ragon mein ghul jaaye jo, Haan issi se hai chalta ye jahan, Ishq ka hai wo jalwa bepanah. Rok sake no koi jo, Pyaar hai sailaab wo, Jee utha jo pada iskaa saya, Khoya jo dil sab kuch hai paya.

Men can laugh God out of schools, out of books, and even out of their lives, but man cannot laugh Him out of his death.

Jesus did not come to make bad men good, but to make dead men live.

A person who is selfish has little capacity to love.

an atheist cannot find God for the same reason that a thief cannot find a policeman. He is not truly interested in finding Him.

Why can’t I have both? Haan? I want the consent part but I also want to be taken by surprise. How hard is that? What’s wrong with a girl wanting to be Goslinged and kissed, damn it!

Jee haan, but they are the same! One hunts, one runs; one chews the carrot, one chews the Sir John Hurt. One makes eggs that go BANG! One makes Acme traps that go BANG! See? Sameful.

Oz, does it scare you we've fallen in love so fast?" 
"No, my little dove." He kisses my head. "You are a witch, and I am a vampire, and we are doing what we do best: we feel. Our emotions help drive us. Never mind the humans who say you need to think with your head. Your intuition is the smartest thing you have, and your heart doesn't make a decision without consulting it first.

Christians believe in one big, bold miracle—God. As a result, everything else fits into place. The rest of the world denies God, the Creator, and needs a miracle to explain everything created.

If we were to take a stick and put it into a glass of water, it would seem to be crooked. Why? Because we look at it through two mediums—air and water. It is the same with our understanding of God. His various characteristics, such as His justice, seem crooked to us. The wicked seem to prosper and the righteous suffer. It seems that unfair events take place all the time. The problem is not with God but with us. We view God’s proceedings through a double medium of flesh and spirit. Therefore, it is not that God’s character is bent, it is that man is not competent to judge.

Jee haan, but they are the same! One hunts, one runs; one chews the carrot, one chews the Sir John Hurt. One makes eggs that go BANG! One makes Acme traps that go BANG! See? Sameful. Only Mr. Looney of the Tunes is more actual, on account of how aliens live in your big Danesh-head and bunny rabbits live in Coventry.

Whatever a person worships will determine the purpose he has in life.

If a Christian fails to conform to the pattern of the Bible, it is not because he lacks rules; it is because he lacks love.

It is a wonderful thing to see a person with the power of God in his life. He says, “Thank you,” for things we would not consider even mentioning. He gets excited over little things as well as big things, knowing that all things are given to him by God. He accepts what God gives him with open hands, and he leaves his hands open in case God would desire to take it away.

Spreading the gospel message requires going out to encounter people where they are, not expecting them to come to us and our church services (Acts 8:4, Acts 8:40, Romans 10:14–15, and 2 Corinthians 10:16). And

A pastor visited a family whose son had been killed in an automobile accident. He heard the mother lash out at him, “Where was your God when my boy was killed?” He quietly responded, “The same place He was when His Son was killed.

You might look back at the Zionist movement—there were plenty of Jews killed by other Jews. They killed collaborators, traitors and people they thought were traitors. And they weren’t under anything like the harsh conditions of the Palestinian occupation. As plenty of Israelis have pointed out, the British weren’t nice, but they were gentlemen compared with us. The Labor-based defense force Haganah had torture chambers and assassins. I once looked up their first recorded assassination in the official Haganah history. It’s described there straight. It was in 1921. A Dutch Jew named Jacob de Haan had to be killed, because he was trying to approach local Palestinians to see if things could be worked out between them and the new Jewish settlers. His murderer was assumed to be the woman who later became the wife of the first president of Israel. They said that another reason for assassinating him was that he was a homosexual.

Left alone, I must quickly have drifted off into my own thoughts, for I did not notice the barman return. He must have done so, however, for I was soon drinking coffee, staring at the mirrored wall behind the bar - in which I could see not only my own reflection but much of the room behind me. After a while, for some reason, i found myself replaying in my head key moments from a football match I had attended many years earlier - an encounter between Germany and Holland. I adjusted my posture on the high-stool - I could see I was hunching excessively - and tried recalling the names of the players in the Dutch team that year. Rep, Krol, Haan, Neeskens. After several minutes I had succeeded in remembering all but two of the players, but these last two names remained just beyond the rim of my recall. As I tried to remember, the sound of the fountain behind me, which at first I had found quite soothing, began to annoy me. It seemed that if only it woulds stop, my memory would unlock and I would finally remember the names.

Nero lette niet op hem. 'Ik ben een moedermoordenaar,' kreunde hij. In Rome werd moedermoord als de zwaarste misdaad beschouwd. Pompeius had een strenge wet uitgevaardigd die nog altijd van kracht was. Moedermoordenaars werden in een leren zak genaaid, samen met een hond, een haan, een slang en een aap, en in zee gegooid. Nero had zelf ook een keer zo'n executie gezien. De veroordeelde werd in een bruine toga naar de zee gevoerd. Om zijn hals hing een belletje, onder zijn voeten werden houten zolen gebonden, om te voorkomen dat hij moeder aarde zou ontwijden, en lictoren geselden zijn naakte lijf met houten roeden. Van dit beeld kon hij niet loskomen.

Nederlandse politici hebben serieus geblunderd en de woede van de Turkse president Ergogan op de hals gehaald door geen Turkse ministers toe te laten om te komen spreken voor Turkse Nederlanders. Die diplomatieke botsing had vermeden kunnen worden indien Rutte & Co een betere inschatting van Erdogan hadden gemaakt. Erdogan is uitermate bedreven in opruiende politiek. Indien Nederlandse politici iets meer bedreven waren geweest in psychologisch inzicht dan in stemmengraaierij hadden ze kunnen weten dat de weigering hen als een boomerang in het gezicht zou vliegen. Het is inderdaad ondemocratisch om iemand, ook al is die autocraat die in eigen land democratie en pevsvrijheid monddood maakt, de vrijheid van spreken te beletten. Je kan niet toestaan dat zijn tegenstanders wèl spreekrecht hebben en hij niet. Natuurlijk steven je dan af op gewelddadig protest. Hoeveel slimmer waren de Fransen om een Turkse minister wél spreekrecht te geven: geen haan die er om kraaide. En als De Roover van NVA zich uit de naad wringt om vurig het spreekverbod te bepleiten, dan bewijst hij dat hij enkel een Vlaams Belang Light is zoals Rutte een light-versie van Wilders is.

By 2010, what DeHaan's team had was brand-new and very wheatlike—except in the roots. Wheat roots are thin and extend down just a couple of feet; the new crop sat atop a huge root system extending 10 feet down, tapping water deep underground and effectively stealing it from weeds. The deep roots are also better at absorbing soil nutrients that might otherwise be completely lost.

De Beiaardier van Moergestel vonkt over de Haan!

Ten Have, leesvoer van racistisch Nederland.

Thoda Rukh sakti ho? "Waqt nahi hai" "Hamse udhar lelo" "Chuka nahi paungi" "Fir kabhi chuka dena " "Kya hum phir milenge??" "Haan hum phir milenge' "Tab sab kuch kitna naya hoga na !" "Hum purane hi rahenge "Kyu" "Purana sawal jo puchna hoga " Konsa "Thoda Rukh sakti ho kya??

Embrace the change an obstacle forces. That is my advice.

I thought my duty was to restore Haan, but Haan is not King Cosugi or the burned-down palace or the ruins of the great estates or the dead nobles and their descendants pining for glory-these are but parts of an experiment at a way of life for the people of Haan, her true essence. When the experiment has proven to be a failure, one must be willing to try new paths, new ways of doing things.

Of the Six States, only Haan remained completely under Xana occupation. But there was a Haan government in exile, and King Cosugi of Haan, who had surrendered to the emperor Mapidéré when he was a young man thirty years ago, now lived in Çaruza as a guest of the newly established King Thufi of Cocru.

You were right, you know—coming here was completely crazy. It was irrational. To think I’d choose to go to a town where there’s no mall, much less a day spa, and one restaurant that doesn’t have a menu? Please. No medical technology, ambulance service or local police—how is it I thought that would be easier, less stressful? I almost slid off the mountain on my way into town!” “Ah… Mel…” “We don’t even have cable, no cell phone signal most of the time. And there’s not a single person here who can admire my Cole Haan boots which, by the way, are starting to look like crap from traipsing around forests and farms. Did you know that any critical illness or injury has to be airlifted out of here? A person would be crazy to find this relaxing. Renewing.” She laughed. “The state I was in, when I was leaving L.A., I thought I absolutely had to escape all the challenges. It never occurred to me that challenge would be good for me. A completely new challenge.” “Mel…” “When I told Jack I was pregnant, after promising him I had the birth control taken care of, he should have said, ‘I’m outta here, babe.’ But you know what he said? He said, ‘I have to have you and the baby in my life, and if you can’t stay here, I’ll go anywhere.’” She sniffed a little and a tear rolled down her cheek. “When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is check to see if there are deer in the yard. Then I wonder what Preacher’s in the mood to fix for dinner. Jack’s usually already gone back to town—he likes splitting logs in the early morning—half the town wakes up to the sound of his ax striking wood. I see him five or ten times through the day and he always looks at me like we’ve been apart for a year. If I have a patient in labor, he stays up all night, just in case I need something. And when there are no patients at night, when he holds me before I fall asleep, bad TV reception is the last thing on my mind. “Am I staying here? I came here because I believed I’d lost everything that mattered, and ended up finding everything I’ve ever wanted in the world. Yeah, Joey. I’m staying. Jack’s here. Besides, I belong here now. I belong to them. They belong to me.” *

Despite Jesus’s fresh way of looking at the assumptions of his people, his disciples struggle to understand what he means. They grapple to reconcile his teachings with their traditions.

The Almighty is now approachable for everyone. God ceases living in the temple and begins living in us. Our bodies become the temple of God. No longer do we need a physical building. We are his temple.

As Jesus’s living stones today, our actions matter. We live for Jesus. We exist to honor him, praise him, and glorify him. Our purpose is to tell others about him through our actions and—when needed—even through our words. Our faith is alive, and what we do must show it.

Christian

We need to rethink what happens at our church, deemphasizing the significance of music and message while elevating the importance of community, one that functions in unity for Jesus.

They

The triple aim of most churches—attendance, offerings, and facility—doesn’t matter as much as most people think. Said more bluntly, most church leaders today focus on the three Bs: butts (in the chairs), bucks (in the offering), and buildings. The congregation buys into this without hesitation. These measures of success become the focus. But this focus is off, even looking in the wrong direction.

Instead of an unhealthy, unbiblical focus on the three Bs, what if we and our churches looked to the three Cs of changed lives, community, and commitment?

Even in the Old Testament, God is already correcting his people’s idea that he lives in the temple (see 2 Samuel 7:6–7) and that they must go there to engage with him. Remember that God didn’t issue his commands about the temple, priests, and tithes until after the people refused to let him speak to them directly and insisted that Moses stand in for them (Exodus 19:6).

The idea of all those present taking part suggests an egalitarian community gathering, where everyone contributes, and everyone ministers to each other. This removes the divide between leader and follower, which happens in today’s church services.

Yes, the kingdom of God is about our hope for heaven when we die, but it’s also about our time on earth now. The kingdom of God is about Jesus and his salvation, along with the life we lead in response to his gift to us. The kingdom of God is about eternal life, and that eternal life begins today. Heaven is just phase two. We’re living in phase one—at least we should be.

We go to church. We connect with God. Then we head home. Once we leave the parking lot, we revert to non-church mode and resume our everyday life.

We expect to meet in our own dedicated worship space. And we hire staff to serve as our liaison between us and God. These things carry a price tag, and our church budget reflects it.

Today we cling to the Old Testament model of church. We go to a church building to encounter God. We’re led by professional clergy who represent him to us. And we give our tithes and offerings to pay for it all.

It challenges our perspective of needing to go to church to experience God.

Through Jesus, we become a holy priesthood so that we can offer spiritual sacrifices to God

If we are truly priests through what Jesus did for us, then we don’t need ministers to point us to God, explain him to us, or help us know him. God wants us to do that for ourselves as his holy priests.

We are living stones built into his spiritual temple, serving as a holy priesthood to offer him spiritual sacrifices.

sacrifices (1 Peter 2:5). Read that again: We are living stones built into his spiritual temple, serving as a holy priesthood to offer him spiritual sacrifices. Wow! This can change everything—and it should. No longer do priests (ministers) need to serve as our liaison between the Creator and the created. Instead, all who follow Jesus become his priests—a nation of priests—just as God wanted back in Exodus 19:6.

people go to a church building to experience God. The implication is that we can’t connect with him at other locations or through different situations.

This is not what Jesus had in mind. Through his sacrificial death, in one single action, Jesus does away with the need to go to a building, hire staff, and take an offering. We should do the same.

Instead, his mission is to bring the Old Testament into fruition, according to God’s plan, set in place from the beginning. Jesus makes this clear. He says, “I have not come to abolish the Law and the prophets but to fulfill them” (Matthew 5:17).

These two simple principles—love God and love others—summarize the purpose and intent of the entire Old Testament Law and the writings of the prophets. Jesus removes a set of impossible-to-please laws and replaces them with one principle: love.

Sometimes what God tells us to do is only for a season. Then there’s something else for us to do.

Are we staying put in our church where we’re comfortable, or are we looking outside of our Christian community to do what Jesus said to do?

Today’s church falls short of being a witness and making disciples. To do so requires an outward perspective, yet most churches have an inward focus.

Every church should make a positive impact on their community. They do this best by entering it. Yet so few do.

Jesus wants disciples. He wants followers who go all in for him.

We must view the kingdom of God as both a present reality and a future promise.

We should empower the laity to reclaim communion, reforming it from church ritual

If we comprise his temple, we don’t need to go to church to meet him. This is because, as his temple, he’s already in our presence, and we’re already in his.

Jesus’s

People expect a church—their local church—to last forever. They forget that a congregation, comprised of people, is a living, breathing, and changing entity. It’s organic.

In recent years I haven’t gone to church for the music or the message. I show up for the chance to experience meaningful community before or after the service.

After Jesus returns to heaven, the disciples assume a leadership role. This is natural because they know Jesus better than any of the newer converts and are in the best position to teach them (Acts 2:42).

mostly we see people taking initiative, doing what’s needed to advance Jesus’s church, as led by the Holy Spirit.

They see a need, and they meet it.

What’s significant is what they don’t do. There’s no mention of weekly meetings, sermons, music, or offerings. If we’re serious about church in its purest form, the early church in Acts 2 gives us much to contemplate when we consider how our church should function today.

As you meet, be sure to keep your focus on Jesus and his Holy Spirit.

Again, no preparation required. Everyone who’s present can do this. All we need is a willingness to share something God taught us or that we learned through studying Scripture.

we will encounter times of silence as we wait and listen.

Jesus says anywhere two or three people gather in his name—that is, they get together and place their focus on him—he will join them (Matthew 18:20).

If we leave church discouraged or fail to encourage others while we’re there, then we’ve missed the point of meeting together. While some people make a big deal out of going to church, they forget that the reason is to provide encouragement. If we’re not doing that, then we might as well stay home.

Instead of staying in Jerusalem—something they’re used to and comfortable with—their mission is to go into the world and make disciples (Matthew 28:19–20).

Church membership is not biblical. We made it up.

We shouldn’t shop for a church that provides the services we want. Instead, we should look for a faith community we can help.

We need to stop thinking of church for the things it will provide for us and instead consider the things we can do for it, that is, for the people who go there and the community surrounding it.

We should look for a church that provides opportunities for us to serve, according to how God has wired us, in ways that make us come alive.

pursue spiritual community.

It simply means pursuing intentional spiritual community. Though Sunday church may be one way to accomplish this, it’s not necessarily the best way.

In standard usage, the word “church” refers to a place, not a people. It’s a structure more so than the community that meets there.

Whenever the New Testament mentions tithing, it always refers to the Old Testament practice. Nowhere do New Testament writers tell us to give 10 percent to God.

New Testament commands and examples to use the money God blesses us with to do three things. First is to cover our needs—not our wants (Hebrews 13:5). Next is to help others (1 Corinthians 10:24). And third is to advance God’s kingdom (1 Peter 4:10).

So why do we persist in going to church to seek God, having a minister serve us, and tithing when Jesus died to give us something new, something much better?

making

We need to let our light shine so that the world can see (Matthew 5:14–16 and James 2:14–17). All of humanity is watching. May they see Jesus in what we do (1 Peter 2:12).

Hum ne eik doosare ko ghum ki gahrayon mein dehka hai, aur uss ghum sey hum eik doosare ka haath pakar ke uthe haan. Humari zindagi humari kismat, humari rooh na jaane kaab sey mil chuki hai, ab kya hi alag hon ge hum.

Buiten kraait ergens een haan. Een moeder krijst tegen haar kind. Vuile woorden, maar het joch schijnt er zich niets van aan te trekken. Er hangt een zware hitte, de zon heeft de natte aarde en de drek doen gisten. Het stinkt hier. Naar armoede en viezigheid. Naar mensen die zich met veel moeite vastklampen aan het leven. De geur van rotte beesten en beschimmelde gedachten. Daar zitten wij naar te luisteren.

De raddraaier duwt zijn kraai niet in de haan maar in het open grafzerk.

Ik verbaas me erover, om zijn pik te voelen, de haan zonder genot.

Kahn krijgt kleur op de wangen bij de herinnering. 'Rodin was een heuse Mozartman,' zegt hij. 'Un homme de Mozart,' herhaal ik en we lachen besmuikt. (De bundel van Baudelaire die Kahn me lang geleden heeft geschonken, de verzen heb ik nooit mooi gevonden, wel staan er prachtige tekeningen van Rodin in het boekje. In de dikke knuisten van de Mozartman, gewend aan hamer en beitel, school een fijne tekenhand.) De muziek is afgelopen, in de verte kraait een haan. Ik zeg: 'We hebben wat te eten nodig.

Insaan Bhi Kitne Ajeeb Hotey Haan, Kabhi Khud Ko Dusro Mein Talaashtey Haan, Toh Kabhi Dusro Ko Khud Mein Talaashtey haan... Par Kabhi Khud Ko Khud Mein Nahi talaashtey.. Insaan Bhi Kitne Ajeeb Hotey Haan

It's a physical and emotional connection that's unlike anything I've ever experienced. And I know, without a doubt, that this is not the kind of love written about in ancient sonnets; its dimensions too wide, too deep, to ever be condensed into a single tome or even fifty of them. It’s not even an epic. No, this is our magnum opus. This is it; our beginning, our middle, our end. A new chapter in our story; one that's full of hope and promise. One that I know will be better than anything that came before it.
