GOLDEN NUGGETS (A CLEAN SLATE)

Posted on by

First John 1:9

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

Psalm 51:10

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”

Philippians 3:13-14

“Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

COMMUNICATION!

Posted on by

“The evidence is now without dispute. If parents want their children to be successful socially and academically at school, the most important thing they can do is to collaborate with teachers and strive to maintain regular and effective communication. ” – C. Webster- Stratton

This is one of the new chapters in the book “The Incredible Years” by Dr. C. Webster Stratton: “How to partner with your child’s teacher to promote social and academic success.”

I am reading that on the back cover of the book “The Incredible Years” by C. Webster- Stratton.

The message is:

Communication!

The success of the children at school depends on the communication between parents and teachers!

Have you heard that before?

The parents must work together with teachers.  The teacher must be a partner. The parents must strive to maintain regular and effective communication.

The success of the children of God in their lives depends on their communication with God!

Have you heard that before?

In First Corinthians 3:9 the apostle Paul says, “For we are God’s fellow workers;….” And in Second Corinthians 6:1 we read, “As God’s fellow workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.”

Are we praying regularly to God? How effective are our prayers? Are we striving to maintain a regular and effective communication with the Living God?

 

“Citizenship ceremony for 24 new Kiwis”

Posted on by

On March 4 at a citizenship ceremony 24 people became Kiwis (New Zealanders). (Northern News, March 16, 2010)

At the ceremony  participants  and supporters share a little bit about themselves.

My citizenship is in Heaven.

I want to tell you about it.

From heaven I eagerly await my Saviour, the LORD Jesus Christ.

I have a glorious inheritance. It is kept in heaven. It is an inheritance that will never perish, spoil or fade.

My name is written in heaven. My name is written in the Lamb’s book of life.

I am looking forward to a permanent residence. Listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ says, “In my Father’s house are many rooms;  if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.”
