At the Flight Centre here in Kaitaia today I picked up a brochure about “Sydney and New South Wales” and on page sixteen it says about the BLUE MOUNTAINS: “It’s the perfect place to re-connect with nature, rejuvenate the soul and reinvigorate your senses.”
Connecting with nature or re-connecting with nature is not enough for me. I want to be connected with the creator of nature. And how glad I am that we can have a living relationship with God through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Today I picked up the first edition of Health and Herbal News for 2011. (Complimentary Copy, Vol 21 – Issue 1) On the front cover I read “Keeping kids healthy & happy” and “Go for Super health”.
It’s all about health, as the name of the magazine says, and there is no doubt that we are interested.
Some time ago I picked up a book produced by the Salvation Army called A ROAD TO RECOVEREY. It’s all about “Working for the eradication of poverty in New Zealand”.
The Bible teaches that we are a tripartite being. We consist of three component parts: body, soul and spirit.
Our spirit gives us the ability to communicate with God. Our soul gives us the ability to be a person, a personality. Our body gives us the ability through the five senses to understand. The five senses are sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell.
WHY ARE WE SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE BODY AND WHY ARE WE FORGETTING THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT?
That is the question I am asked at the end of the brochure telling me all about the AUCKLAND WRITERS & READERS FESTIVAL.
THE NEW ZEALAND HERALD , proud sponser of the Auckland Writers and Readers Festival is advertising free home delivery and is asking the question “Passion for Words?”. “We publish thousands every day.”
Yes, I have passion for words!
I have passion for the words written in the Bible, the Word of the Living God!
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
