Help, hope , shelter, home!
“O God,
our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.”
Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
The Holy Spirit
“Though every believer has the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit does not have every believer.” – A. W. Tozer
Are you living in the world or in the church?
“The Lord does not want us to live in the world and go to church, but to live in the church and go to the world.” – Peter Williamson
War Cry Giveaway
To be in to win a copy of To Save a Life, tell us how you get through tough times.
I told them:
I get through tough times by saying to myself the verses of the Bible I have memorized, for example:
First John 3:8
“The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.”
Revelation 12:11
“‘They overcame him
by the blood of the lamb and
by the word of their testimony;…'”
Then I take my Bible and read the verses in the Word of God.
BIBLE TEACHING!
I think I will listen again to really good BIBLE TEACHING by Dr. S Lewis Johnson on
www.believerschapeldallas.org.
Dr. S Lewis Johnson is an exegist (expositor). He is going verse by verse through whole books of the Bible.
I like also to listen to his Doctrinal Studies, Systematic Theology for example!
He went to be with the Lord in 2004.
“YOU ARE THE CONTROLLER.”
“You are the controller” I am reading on the front page of the KINECT leaflet, I picked up at the Warehouse in Kaitaia today.
Click on image and you can read at least four times that “you are the controller”.
“YOU ARE THE CONTROLLER.”
Do you like to read that? Do you like to hear that? Do you believe that?
Some years ago I studied the attributes of God.
One of the attributes of God is his selfexistence. He is the only one who is selfexistent. We are dependent beings. We are dependent on God. We are not even sure of our next breath.
I assume that you have seen the images of the earthquake and the tsunami in Japan.
The Lord is on the throne. We are not on the throne.
But we find it so difficult to dethrone ourselves. We are willing to do almost everything, but we don’t want to dethrone ourselves.
Who is sitting on the throne of your life?
DRINK STATIONS
I did not know that there was a DRINK STATION in Kaitaia.
I discovered the drink station only several days ago. Of course, I know about the Sports Bar near the firestation. Even a casual visitor to Kaitaia can hardly miss the bar. But all of a sudden on a sunny day I looked up and I saw the big sign above the Sports bar saying DRINK STATION.
Let me tell you about my drink station:
There is an invitation to the Thirsty in the prophet Isaiah. The thirsty are called to come to the waters.
The Lord Jesus Christ is also calling thirsty people to himself and tells them to drink. The water the Lord Jesus gives us quenches our thirst forever.
There is a psalm of the Sons of Korah. In the psalm it says at the end that all our fountains are in God.
