“… we worry about things. If only we realized God’s loving concern for us, that He knows everything about us, and is concerned about the smallest detail of our lives!” – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
You would probably say that it is not quite the middle of Kaitaia, (town in the north of New Zealand) but almost.
“FREEDOM”
Looking over the road (Commerce Street) I see two signs with the message “Freedom”. On this side of the road “Freedom” is also advertised in big letters over a shop. “Freedom Camping” it says there.
In the shop I received the “Hunting & Fishing New Zealand” catalogue and in the catalogue I am reading about “Freedom Tents,” “Freedom Camp Furniture,” “Freedom Camp Cookers,” “Freedom Lighting, Tables, Accessories”.
Freedom is something we are after!
We are prisoners in a prison. We are in chains. We need someone to set us free.
The name of the prison is sin. The name of the deliverer is the Lord Jesus Christ.
In John 8:36 it says:
“‘So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.'”
“Jesus kommt es nicht auf die Quantitaet, sondern auf die Qualitaet des Betens an. Gott misst meine Froemmigkeit nicht in Minuten, sondern an meiner inneren Haltung.” – Karl Albietz
“The children of God have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world. There is nothing contingent about this.” – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
