PRAYER

Posted on by

“Prayer is a turning to God and without it our lives become progressively more self-centred. Through prayer we bind ourselves to God and without it we close ourselves up in our own solitude.” – Michel Quoist, The Christian Response

“…….; forget them as soon as you can.”

“Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities crept in; forget them as soon as you can.

Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Books! Books!

Posted on by

“I love reading books! They can take you to places you can only dream about………. imagine that!” is written on the McDonald’s paper cup I am looking at.

I also belong to those who love reading books!

“It is books that are a key to the wide world; if you can’t do anything else, read all that you can.” – Jane Hamilton, The book of Ruth

Read the “GOOD BOOK”! Read “THE BOOK OF BOOKS”! Read the BIBLE!

READ THE WORD OF GOD AND OBEY IT.

1. First John 2:5

“But if anyone  obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him.”

2. First John 3:24

“Those who obey his commands live in him,…”

3. First John 5:3

“This is love for God: to obey his commands.”

4.  Second John 6

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.”

In the book called GOOD IN EVERYTHING by H. L. Gee I found what GENERAL MONTGOMERY  said to some of his officers in North Africa:

“I read my BIBLE every day, gentlemen, and I recommend you to do the same.”

HEALTH

“Health isn’t everything, but without it everything is nothing,” says Dr. Hans Diehl.

What does the BIBLE, the word of the living God say?

Proverbs

1.  “….; fear the LORD and shun evil.

This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.” – Proverbs 3:7,8

2.  “My son,…………; listen closely to my words.

Do not let them out of your sight,

keep them within your heart; for they are…………..

and health to  a man’s body.” – Proverbs 4:20-22

3.  “……good news

gives health to the bones.” – Proverbs 15:30

What is good news?

The gospel is the good news! The good news concerning what?

The good news concerning Christ.

The good news concerning the kingdom of God.

The good news concerning salvation.
