This advertisement from a landagent goes like this: Thinking of selling? I have a database of buyers seeking Kerikeri properties. Friendly and competent service assured.

YOUR CHOICE… MY COMMITMENT

I have here also another leaflet advertising a Christian Women’s Conference. It was held long ago and one of the speakers was Billy Graham’s daughter Anne Graham Lotz (USA). She was speaking about Personal Commitment to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Can we say to the Lord: Lord, I am fully committed to the way you have chosen for my life!–Please read Mark 14:35,36

Can we say: YOUR CHOICE…… MY COMMITMENT!
