ENVY

ENVY!

“Envious people cannot bear to see their neighbors – especially their equals or those they live with –  get something more or better than themselves.” – Basilea Schlink

“And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.” –

Ecclesiastes 4:4

“DOES FOOD CONTROL YOUR LIFE?”

“DOES FOOD CONTROL YOUR LIFE?”

(Please click several times on the image)

The BIBLE teaches that “man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.”

Deuteronomy 8:3 and Matthew 4:4

FOOD FOR THE BODY

I don’t need to say anything about the food for the body. Please watch TV! But you are doing that already. (We don’t have TV!)

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

The BIBLE is food for our souls.

Job 23:12  “…..; I have treasured the words of  his mouth  more than my daily bread.”

First Peter 2:2

Psalm 119:103 “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than  honey to my mouth!”

Jeremiah 15:16 “When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my  heart’s delight, ……”

Ezekiel 2:8

Ezekiel 3:1

YES, FOOD CONTROLS MY LIFE, BUT IT IS NOT THE FOOD FOR THE BODY, BUT THE FOOD FOR THE SOUL!

FORGET THE PAST

FORGET THE PAST

We are not strangers to experiences that are painful. We are also familiar with failures of  the past and heartaches of the past.

I am reading about all those things in two quotes I found in the weekly publication called COFFEE NEWS. I take also note of the fact that we don’t know the authors of the two quotes.

Here they are:

“Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.” – Anonymous

“The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.” – Unknown

“LASS DIE VERGANGENHEIT RUHEN”,  (Forget the past)  was the title of a little booklet I remember reading in Germany when I became a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.

WERNER HEUKELBACH was the author of the little booklet.

THE FIGHT IS ON!

Have you heard about William Booth?

William Booth was the founder of THE SALVATION ARMY. He was a FIGHTER. Listen to what he says:

“While women weep as they do now, I’ll fight; while little children go hungry as they do now, I’ll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without God, I’ll fight – I’ll fight to the very end!” – William Booth (Salvation army Founder)

Have you heard about CT Studd?

CT Studd was the founder of WEC INTERNATIONAL. (www.wecnz.org) He was also  a fighter. Listen to what he says:

“I wouldn’t like to live at all,

Unless it was to fight

 For Jesus Christ and sinful men,

Morning, noon and night.” – CT Studd

The Lord Jesus Christ is looking for more people who are willing to fight!
