A FRIEND IN A HIGH PLACE

“HIS GREATEST VALUE TO THE PEOPLE HE HAS REPRESENTED FOR SO LONG HAS ALWAYS  BEEN AS A CONSTANTLY ACCESSIBLE FRIEND IN A HIGH PLACE, A PERSONAL ADVOCATE, SOMEONE WHO COULD AND DID MOVE MOUNTAINS,…….”

That’s what the local paper (The Northland Age, Tuesday, November 9, 2010) says about our MP (Member of Parliament) who “has decided to end his parliamentary career after eight terms”.

John 15:14:

“You are my friends, if you do what I command.”

Philippians 2:9:

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place….”


“ON THEN TO THE RESCUE!”

“People die and go to hell because nobody will be at the trouble and expense to save them.

Cut a way through. Know no impossibilities.

If you cannot reach the perishing souls one way, try another. Try every way, and then try them all over again.

Never be beaten. You must succeed. Make your mind up to do it, and it shall be done.

ON THEN TO THE RESCUE.”

General William Booth ( Founder of  The Salvation Army)

“CELEBRATE…….”

In the local stationery shop you can read a lot about celebrating: Buy cards for Christmas and birthdays and other occasions and send them to your friends all over the world.

“Celebrate Christmas with all the trimmings 2010 Saturday 25th December.”

“Celebrate childhood, celebrate Milestones, celebrate him, celebrate her, celebrate love, celebrate baby.

And don’t forget to celebrate “his birthday” and “her birthday”.

“Milestone Birthday” cards are also for sale.

Celebrate milestone birthdays.

A Milestone is “a significant event in life, history, etc.

Let me tell you about significant milestones in my life:

I have two birthdays. The first time I was born physically. The second time I was born spiritually. Which birthday is more significant? Please tell me! I CELEBRATE TWO MILESTONE BIRTHDAYS!

There is no doubt that I remember the date of my physical birth. But I also remember when I was born the second time, when I was born spiritually. That was more than 5o years ago.

Do you want to belong to the family of God? Do you want to enter the kingdom of the Son of God? Do you want to be saved? Do you want to enter heaven? YOU MUST BE BORN SPIRITUALLY in order do do that! You must be born again!

The Lord Jesus Christ says that in John 3:1-21 The Lord teaches Nicodemus. John 3:3 “In reply Jesus declared, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
