Romans 13:8
“Let no DEBT remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.”
Today I went to the meeting called “The ‘Keeping us Safe’ Morning Tea ” and picked up the following leaflets:
“Struggling with Debt? Free Debt advice. Christians Against Poverty (CAP) is an award winning debt counselling charity.”

John 15:14,15
“You are my FRIENDS if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you FRIENDS, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”

This afternoon somebody who saw me at the meeting “The ‘Keeping us Safe’ Morning Tea” this morning stopped me to talk. I found out that it was the mother of the coordinater of the event.
“Did you enjoy the meeting?” I was asked. Of course, I enjoyed the presentations of the different guest speakers from Fire Safety, Age Concern, Arthritis New Zealand and CPTED. (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design)
I told the lady who stopped me, that I was especially interested in the subject of Crime Prevention (I asked for the notes of the Lecture) and I also explained to her why: We used to work with the United Maori Mission in Kaikohe preaching the Gospel. Preaching the Gospel to people is the best Crime Prevention. We have to come back to a living relationship with our Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Fear of God.
I was not arrested yesterday, but I experienced what it says in Matthew 10:19, “But when they arrest you,…..” Please read Matthew 10:16-20.
A person I respect talked all of a sudden about “Heaven” and “The man upstairs” in the course of our conversation.
I opened my mouth and talked about my belief in the Lord Jesus Christ for a couple of minutes. Four people were present in the room.
Later on I said to one of the four people, “I am really surprised how the words flowed out of my mouth and how the Lord helped me to say what I said.”
I hope you have read the portion of Scripture in Matthew 10:16-20 – Matthew is one of the 66 books of the Bible – as suggested, and if you have you will remember that it says in Matthew 10:16, “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.”
And that are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ!
