“……and hear their plan to move New Zealand forward.”

“…..and hear their plan to move New Zealand forward.”

When I read that sentence of the advert in one of  our local papers today, – NORTHERN NEWS, JULY 13, 2011 – a verse from the Bible, from the Old Testament, came to my mind. It is the well known verse Jeremiah 29:11. One coffee shop here in town has that verse written on one of the walls!

The ad is all about a meeting in Kaitaia and in Kerikeri. The meeting here in Kaitaia is on Monday 25 July at 11.30am at Kaitaia Dalmation Cultural Club.

The avertisement starts with “Meet Don Brash & John Banks in Kaitaia and Kerikeri.”

“…. and hear their plan to move New Zealand forward.”

Many years ago the Lord Jesus Christ met me as he met the apostle Paul long ago on the road to Damascus. Acts 9:1-19

When the Lord  met me the Bible, the Word of the Living God, became alive for me. There are many promises in the Bible. One of the promises is Jeremiah 29:13, where the Lord says:

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD,

“plans to prosper you and

not to harm you,

plans to give you hope and

a future.'”

Changing the World and making a Difference in the World.

“I have never been especially impressed by the heroics of people who are convinced they are about to change the world. I am more awed by those who struggle to make one small difference after another.” – Ellen Goodman

Changing the world and making a difference in the world.

Is that also on your mind?

I am not impressed by people who are convinced that they are about to change the world and not awed  by those people who make one small difference after another.

But I believe what the Lord Jesus Christ says in Matthew 18:3 that WE must change and become like little children.

We must change in order to enter the kingdom of heaven and in order to be salt of the earth and light of the world.
