“Manchmal bin ich ein Thermometer – bei all der Not um mich “falle” ich. Aber wir muessen Thermostate sein, nicht Thermometer. Ein Thermostat spuert die Kaelte und ersetzt sofort die fehlende Waerme, indem er das Zimmer mit dem **Ofen in Verbindung bringt. Das ist es, was wir tun muessen.” – Corrie ten Boom
On the cover, front and back, of THE AUCKLAND GUIDE 2011-12, I find words like these: “LIVE”, “EMBRACE”, “LOVE”, “EXPLORE”, “REFRESH”, “OASIS”, “ENERGY”, etc !
I am especially interested in the word “OASIS”.
Are you looking for an OASIS? What is an OASIS? The Collins Concise Dictionary says, “a fertile patch in a desert occuring where the water table approaches or reaches the ground surface.”
Water! “Fresh water is the world’s most precious resource.”
Are you looking for Living Water? Are you looking for water which satisfies the deepest needs?
The Lord JESUS CHRIST is the source of Living Water. (John 4:10) In the dictionary I am reading also that an OASIS is:
“Get peace of mind with an AA Pre Purchase Inspection on your next vehicle purchase! AA Members receive a discount.” (AA DIRECTIONS Keeping New Zealanders Moving, Winter 2012)
SERMON OUTLINE
Philippians 4:6,7
I. “Do not be anxious about anything,
Intr.:
but in everything,
1. by prayer and
2. petition, with
3. thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
II. And the peace of God,
Intr.:
which transcends all understanding,
1. will guard your hearts and
2. minds in
Christ Jesus.”
Please remember that this was written to the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi!
“Of the more than 90 correspondence courses published by Emmaus, BORN TO WIN – written for prisoners – is the most popular. Over 2 million copies have been distributed and these have helped thousands of prison inmates to put their faith in the Lord Jesus.” – From Annual news from the NZ Emmaus Correspondence School
