Business people come up with some strange things, things they probably don’t believe themselves. They are not only talking about ‘paradise’ but also about ‘heaven’.

In a travel brochure about Thailand (we used to work in Thailand for 13 years) you can read,” For those in search of a tropical paradise, Thailand’s islands and beaches defy the definition of heaven on earth.” An ice cream business is selling Premium ice cream, Gelato 96% fat free and it says : One lick & you are in Heaven ! Today you can read in one of the papers here about KALEIDOSCOPE HEAVEN. There are also photos. A land agent talks about the Location Plus Views of a property and then it says: A BIT OF HEAVEN. This jewel of a home with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms & 2 Lounges… and so it goes on and on. I am going to add this very quick: Kauri Mill- Northland’s own slice of Heaven-Bread– Available here!

When I read the last about A BIT OF HEAVEN in Whangaparaoa some time ago I was immediately awake. I stopped and started thinking. Usually people don’t believe in Heaven and Hell.

But the Bible speaks of heaven and hell. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is talking more about heaven and hell than any other person in the Word of God. –Mark 9:42-48– But I don’t only want a bit of heaven, I want heaven itself.

But in order to get into heaven we need to go a certain way. And that is easy for anybody to understand. In order to reach any destination we do have to go into a certain direction and a certain way.

The way to heaven is the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ says himself in John 14:6 (click on address)…In order to come to Jesus and in order to get into heaven, we must be truthful. But we are full of untruth. And untruthfulness is SIN. Sinners have no entrance into heaven.

But the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. We must come to the Lord and confess our sins. The Lord Jesus Christ must become our righteousness. Only when we have the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, can we stand before God the Father.

Go for all of heaven and not only for a bit!

At the end of Amos 4:12 it says,” prepare to meet your God, O Israel.”

That is the message for all of us: Prepare to meet your creator, O Werner. You can put your name ( ) in there!

The BIBLE tells us how to be prepared!

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE TITLE AND THE WRITING ON THE PICTURE?

That saying really makes me think! One person I know has a quality education and loves the job. But that person also says,” There are many things I have to do which I don’t love. I have to discipline myself to do them.”

I personally do not agree with that statement on the picture!

Can anybody help?

I think the words discipline and disciple are related?

We are the disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.
