“There are about 700,000 Heavy Drinkers in New Zealand.”

Money or God (the Gospel)?

Gospel campaigns or Money (marketing) campaigns?

In the October 2010 / NZ BAPTIST (magazine)  Doug Sellman, MBChB, PhD, FRANZCP, FAChAM, is writing on page 20 about the marketing campaigns of the alcohol industry.

The alcohol industry targets with its marketing:

1. The 700,000 heavy drinkers  in order to keep them in the habit of heavy drinking. From them comes more than half of the profit.

2. The children of this country (new recruits). And the alcohol industry is successful!

Gospel campaigns or money (marketing) campaigns?

The answer is:  GOSPEL CAMPAIGNS!

What is driving you? Is it money or is it the GOSPEL?

In Matthew 6:24 the Lord Jesus Christ says, “YOU CANNOT SERVE BOTH GOD AND MONEY.”

Please read every word of Matthew 6:24!

“Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.” -Virginia Woolf

I go to the Lord Jesus Christ. He says in John 15:15 “….., I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”

Read John 15:13-15

Prayer

“Go Totally Wireless at Home……”

Posted on by

“Go totally wireless at home and pay just $30.53 for your first 6 months.” That’s what it says at the top of the flyer, I picked up today at the local vodafone store in town. At the bottom I read: “Ask us how to go totally wireless today.” “Terms and conditions apply” of course.

When I am thinking about “totally” wireless PRAYING comes to my  mind. God is omnipresent! That means that He is present everywhere at one and the same time. Read Psalm 139:7-9. But there are also conditions of prayer. Here are seven from the book: One hundred Bible Lessons by A. Douglas.

1. We must keep the commandments of God. First John 3:22

2. We must forgive others before God will hear and answer our prayers. Mark 11:25

3. We must pray in the will of God. Romans 8:27

4. We must pray in faith believing. Mark 11:24

5. We must pray in Jesus’ name. John 16:24

6. We must pray in the Holy Spirit. Jude 20

7. We must abide in Christ.  John 15:7
