Yes, I want to answer that Question!

Posted on by

Where did I find the question?

I found the question “What’s on your mind?” in the local paper, The Northland Age, Tuesday, April 13, 2010.

“What’s on your Mind?” That’s how the ad begins and then it says that  “The Hon. John Carter MP for Northland will be in Kaitaia on Monday April 26, 2010. Appointments can be made.

I gladly tell you what is on my mind . But before I tell you what is on my mind, let me ask you a question: WHAT IS ON YOUR MIND?’

There are of course many things on my mind. But there is one thing that is  foremost on my mind. That is my spiritual life, my relationship with God, my Redeemer.

The church is also on my mind. I am going to a local church. I have heard people say: “God Yes! Church no!” There is a short post in German on this blog called:  Gott – Ja! Kirche- Nein! The body of Christ is also very much on my mind.

Let me come back to my relationship with my Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ. Am I obedient to the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20? Click on Matthew 28:18-20 and read!

I have here before me the book “The Divine Art of Soul-Winning” by J. O. Sanders.

His first chapter in the book is called “A CONCERN FOR SOULS”. The chapter has the following 3 main points:

1. “Absence of conviction that every impenitent soul is utterly lost.”

2. “Absence of concern for the lost.”

3. “Absence of conception of the value of a soul.”

In the book you can find a bibliography. Writings by R. A. Torrey, C H. Spurgeon, W. Evans, C. M. Turnbull  and others are mentioned there.

THE TASK OF THE CHURCH

Is it not the task of the church to teach and learn “The Divine Art of Soul-Winning?” Is that not why the church exists?

I observed that the Lord is raising up people from the body of Christ who have A CONCERN FOR SOULS!

I know we had them in Germany, when I was a young believer. I was blessed by those people. There was the Janz Team , Werner Heukelbach, Wim Malgo and many more.

Can you think of any Evangelists here in New Zealand at the present time?

I THINK IT IS TIME TO ASK THE LORD FOR EVANGELISTS!!

“Enquire Now for a Brighter Future!”

“Enquire now for a brighter Future!”

I read that on the frontpage of the “BusinessAdvocate April 2010″. Freephone North Tec and enrol now in Business Studies. It says: “Our courses provide clear pathways….”

That is true. I know that. I am enrolled in a course, namely Certificate in Computing Level 3.

“Enquire now for a brighter future!”

My message is:

ENQUIRE NOW FOR THE BRIGHTEST FUTURE!”

On another page of the same paper it says that “The FUTURE is now with Northpower”. On page 19 I am told that that The New Zealand Refining Company LTD is “Fuelling NZ’S FUTURE”.

It’s all about the FUTURE!

But where do we find the brightest FUTURE?

Today it says on the notice board of a church here in Kaitaia that Life without God is pointless.

Please listen to this promise from the Bible, the Word of the Living God. In Jeremiah 29:11 we read:

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’

Intr.:

declares the Lord,

A.  ‘plans to prosper you (and not to harm you,)

B.  plans to give you hope and a

C. FUTURE.'”

End:

Prosperity, hope, Future,

three most important words.
