“Let me drop everything and work on your problem,” I am reading on the coaster. There are kind people who do that. I experienced that just this morning. The BIBLE says “LOVE IS PATIENT AND KIND;…”

In the magazine BOOKNOTES  David Veart  is writing “on the love affair between New Zealanders and their cookbooks.”

“Bringing books and people together,” it says on the front page of the same magazine.

It seems that it is easy to bring cookbooks and people together. But it is not so easy to bring the BIBLE and people together.

Let us remember that we don’t live by bread alone. The BIBLE says in Matthew 4:4 “‘Man cannot live on bread alone, but needs every word that God speaks.'”

“The DEBT will be passed on to the Next GENERATION.”

That’s what I remember hearing over the radio today.

 WE ARE VERY KEEN TO PASS ON OUR DEBT TO THE NEXT GENERATION.

Let us remember again what it says in Romans 13:8

“Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.”

BUT WE ARE NOT KEEN AT ALL TO PASS ON THE BIBLE TO THE NEXT GENERATION.

We are told to declare the power of God to the next generation.

Do you know about the power of the Lord in your life?

We are told to commend the works of God to the next generation.

Have you experienced the works of the Lord Jesus Christ in your life?

What are you passing on to the next generation?

Quote:

“What is life?

It is the flash of a firefly in the night.

It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.

It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.” – Unknown
