The Day I felt the Richest
“Our readers tell us about the day they felt the richest,” I am reading in an old Reader’s Digest on page 48. (January 2012)
Let me also tell you about the day I felt the richest.
The day I felt the richest reminds me of a hymn or chorus in German. At least I think it is a chorus. Put me right if I am wrong.
Here are the words in German:
“Das war der schoenste Tag den Gott mir jemals gab, als Jesus in mein dunkles Erdendasein kam.” (“That was the most beautiful day that God ever gave me when Jesus came into my dark life on earth.”)
- “WHEN JESUS SPOKE AGAIN TO THE PEOPLE HE SAID, ‘I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.'” – John 8:12
“O Happy Day!” is an English hymn written by Philip Doddride. Here is the chorus:
“Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray and live rejoicing ev’ry day;
happy day, happy day when Jesus washed my sins away!”
- “THE NEXT DAY JOHN SAW JESUS COMING TOWARD HIM AND SAID, ‘LOOK, THE LAMB OF GOD, WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD!'”- John 1:29
I still remember the day I felt the richest. And that feeling has never left me and will never leave me!
OUR MODERN PROBLEM:
HARAKEKE – FLAX
“No matter how advanced its progress, any generation that neglects its spiritual and moral life is going to disintegrate.This is the story of man and this is our modern problem.” – Billy Graham

What a high horse they ride!
How they lift up their horn on high!” – C. H. Spurgeon

WAR CRY GIVEAWAY
To win a copy of JUST IMAGINE, tell us who or what most inspires you to make change in the world.
I am inspired by those born again believers who talk to others about what the Lord has done in their lives whenever they have an opportunity and whenever the Lord prompts them to do so.
“Dress Standard”
“DRESS STANDARD
Smart casual dress required at all times.
Admission at the discretion of the management.”
If we want to be admitted to certain places, we need to dress appropriately.
There are only two places where we are eventual going and that is heaven or hell. All of us are on the way to hell since birth.
What must we wear now in order to enter heaven?
Some people are dressing themselves by saying, “My sins are not so bad. I am not as bad as others are. But that does not work. We need a new dress!
Some people are wearing the dress of their own righteousness. They are doing good works. We can fool other people by doing that, but not God. No! We need something completely different.
Do you remember the Parable of the Lost Son in Luke chapter 15? In Luke 15:22 it says, “But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; …” (Authorized Version) He received a completely new robe from his father.
God will give us also a new robe, the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ wrought for us sinners on the cross.
