“Customers on the mind”

Posted on by

wernerweb 150x150“Customers on the mind,” I am reading in the magazine called LOVE RED. (Issue 10 – 12/2012)

You will find that this post is not well balanced. It is done deliberately. We are thinking too much about the things here below and forgetting the things above. On top of everything else I rather like to write about the heavenly things than about the earthly things. And you know probably more about the earthly things than I do. 

A.  EARTHLY THINGS ON THE MIND.

In his letter to the Philippians the apostle Paul is writing about people who have earthly things on their  mind. You can read about them at the end of chapter three in his letter. (Philippians 3:19)

B.  HEAVENLY THINGS ON THE MIND.

In his letter to the Colossians at the beginning of chapter three in verse two the apostle Paul says, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”

I want to do that. 

What kind of place is HEAVEN?

Isaiah 57:15: Here it says that heaven is a high place.

Psalm 20:6: Heaven is also a holy place.

Revelation 7:17: Heaven is a place full of joy.

Revelation 21:4:  Heaven is a place without tears, death, mourning, crying or pain.

Revelation 22:5:  Heaven is a place without night.

Revelation 7:16: Heaven is a place without hunger, thirst and  excessive heat. 

I am asking myself now, “What is on my  mind at the present time?” Please ask yourself the same question!

Matthew 22:35-40

Intr.:

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

A.  Jesus said unto him , Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy MIND.

This is the first and great commandment.

B.  And the second is like unto it,

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

End:

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

“WE ARE WHAT WE THINK!”

In the magazine called FamilyCARE (Summer 2013) I am reading that the old saying “We are what we think!” is true.

What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about what is:

true, noble, right, pure, lovely admirable, excellent, praiseworthy?

Here is a SERMON OUTLINE with eight points, an introduction and an end.

P1110710 150x150SERMON OUTLINE – NT – NIV

Philippians 4:8

“FINALLY,

Intr.:

brothers,

1.  whatever is true,

2. whatever is noble.

3. whatever is right,

4. whatever is pure,

5. whatever is  lovely,

6. whatever is admirable –

7. if anything is excellent or

8. praiseworthy –

End:

think about such things.”
