THAT’S ME!

Posted on by

It was during a conversation when it hit me all of a sudden: That’s Me!

I have nothing and yet I have everything.

With the help of a concordance I found eventually this verse in  the Bible:

Second Corinthians 6:10

“…..; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.”

Another SERMON OUTLINE – NT – (NIV)

“For I resolved to

know nothing

while I was with you

except Jesus Christ and him

crucified.”

“THIS IS WHAT GOD THE LORD SAYS –

Isaiah 42:5-9

Intr.:

—- he who created the heavens and stretched them out,

—- who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it,

—- who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:

1. ‘I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;

2. I will take hold of your hand.

3. I will keep you and

4. will make you

a. to be a covenant for the people and

b. a light for the Gentiles,

c. to open eyes that are blind,

d. to free captives from prison and

e. to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

End:

—- ‘I am the LORD; that is my name!

—- I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols.

—- See, the former things have taken place and new things  I declare;

—- before they spring into being I announce them to you.'”

“Auckland’s Greatest Food Festival”

Posted on by

“Auckland’s Greatest Food Festival

18-21 Nov-Victoria Park”

“Enjoy Auckland’s greatest garden party hosted by our leading restaurants.”

“Try food from 14 of Auckland’s best restaurants at bite-size prices.”

Two advertisements advertising “Auckland’s Greatest Food Festival” are in the same paper.

FOOD FOR THE BODY

“Take those scales out of the bathroom; the right place for them is in front of the refrigerator.” – R. Needham, British politician

Our bodies need nourishment. But look around for yourself. We are feeding our bodies well!

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Our souls need nourishment. But read the paper. Are we are feeding our souls well?

Is not the daily reading of the BIBLE the nourishment of the soul for the child of God?

Read also Matthew 4:4

What does the Lord Jesus Christ say?

“MAKE THIS CHRISTMAS MEMORABLE”

Posted on by

“Make this Christmas memorable.”

That’s how the advertisement begins and it carries on like this:  “4 Days Christmas special to the Bay of Islands. 24-27 December. Christmas Breakfast & Dinner $797.00 per person (twin share).”

NEW ZEALAND is the most beautiful country, but please come and visit the BAY OF ISLANDS. The BAY OF ISLANDS is beautiful, believe me. We used to live there for a very long time! KAIKOHE was our Mission Station (United Maori Mission) from 1981 until 2004)

Make Christmas 2010 worthy to be remembered. Make it a Christmas easily remembered. Make Christmas 2010 a Christmas  you will never forget.

Do you hear the message?

Please click on picture to see…….

I remember a Christmas Day in my life, a Christmas Day I will never forget.

Why will I forever remember that Christmas Day? Why will I never, never forget that Christmas Day? During that year I grasped the real meaning of CHRISTMAS! What did I do? I received  the Lord Jesus Christ.  I believed in his name. I became a child of God. (Acts 16:31; John 1:12,13) What a Christmas!

That was Christmas 1958, 52 years ago!

Please remember the message:

Make Christmas 2010 worthy to be remembrered. Make Christmas 2010 a Christmas you will never forget.

Receive the Lord Jesus Christ. Believe in his name. Grasp the real meaning of Christmas!

John 5:24

We are condemned, but we can cross over from death to life by hearing and believing!

“……., don’t give up!” Just a Reminder!

Those words, neatly framed and neatly written, are hanging on the wall in the room I am in  now, and  I remember them well.

I did that today- and it worked!
