Woran erkennt man die Stimme Gottes?
Du fragst: “Woran erkennt man Gottes Stimme?” Ich antworte mit einer Gegenfrage: ” Woran erkennst du die Stimmen deiner Lieben?” Du erkennst sie an dem oft gehoerten Klang. Hoere oft im Gehorsam auf die leise, sanfte Stimme Gottes!
Corrie ten Boom
THE Connection
I am reading here an ad about a connection and my connection to the Living God comes straight away to my mind.
It is a St John Lifelink – We’re one touch away advertisement and a son says, “Knowing mum is connected to St John provides peace of mind.” He continues to say, “Now Mum has a St John Lifelink medical alarm, every time I think of her I smile, rather than wonder if she’s OK.”
My connection to the Living God started in September 1958.
There are those who are connected to the Living God and there are those who are not connected to the Living God.
I want to close with this very important question:
ARE YOU CONNECTED?
“FIRE OF HELL”
Matthew 5:22
“But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.”
Matthew 18:9; Matthew 5:29,30; Matthew 10:28; Matthew 23:15; Matthew 23:33
Sermon Outline – Topical – NT
“For I resolved
to know nothing
while I was with you
except Jesus Christ and
him crucified”

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS:
Colossians 1:15-18
Intr.:
1. “the image of the invisible God,
2. the firstborn over all creation.
3. For by him all things were created:
a. things in heaven and
b. on earth,
c. visible and
d . invisible,
e. whether thrones or
f. powers or
g. rulers or
h. authorities;
4. all things were created for him.
5. He is before all things, and
6. in him all things hold together.
7. And he is the head of the body, the church;
8. he is the beginning and
9. the firstborn from the dead,
End: so that in everything he might have the supremacy.”
“THINK ON THIS”
“Think on this” is another regular feature in the local paper. Yes, it is good to encourage each other to think. Maybe we don’t think enough!
Actually, when I read “Think on this” words from the Bible came to my mind. The wording is a bit different, but the meaning is the same. Philippians 4:8.
“Think about such things,” the Bible , the Word of the Living God says. What things?
Whatever is:
true,
noble,
right,
pure,
lovely,
admirable,
excellent,
praiseworthy.
The Lord has Surprises for Us!
Today I was recognized by a man who remembers me from the time when he was a little boy. He and our son went together to the same Primary school and to the same College.
He remembers me as his Bible In Schools Teacher. He remembers not very much from what was taught, but he is believing now in the Lord Jesus Christ and is training to be an Anglican minister.
He showed me his cap – I think he had it beside him on a chair – with Psalm 107:2 written on it.
In the first three verses of Psalm 107 the redeemed are told to give thanks to the Lord. Why? Because he is good. Because his love endures forever.
We are redeemed from the hand of the foe. The redeemed are gathered from the lands. They are gathered from the east, from the west, from the north and from the south.
Please find a sermon outline – Psalm 107 – on this blog. Type ‘Psalm 107’ into ‘search’ !
I expressed of course interest in his cap – and he gave it to me, just like that!
GOLDEN NUGGET
Matthew 19:29
“AND EVERYONE WHO HAS LEFT HOUSES OR BROTHERS OR SISTERS OR FATHER OR MOTHER OR CHILDREN OR FIELDS FOR MY SAKE WILL RECEIVE A HUNDRED TIMES AS MUCH AND WILL INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE.”
This is a GOLDEN NUGGET I like very much!
