Intr.:
A.
1. ‘MAY THE GOD before whom my fathers
a. Abraham and

2. the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,
3. the Angel who has delivered me from all harm –

Jesus’ College is the only one in which God’s truth can be really learned; other schools may teach us what is to be believed, but Christ’s alone can show us how to believe it.” – C. H. Spurgeon
“so help us spread the word!”
“so help us spread the word!”
I am reading that on a leaflet and I am awake. I am not only awake, but I am wide awake.
Why?
Because I am glad for the encouragement to spread the word. I have noticed also that I need the encouragement!
The fact is that I am already for a long time engaged in spreading the word.
Since I came out of darkness into the light, since I came from death into life, it is my desire to tell others about what has happened to me.
“so help us spread the word!”
HOW DO WE SPREAD THE WORD?
One subject when I went to Bible school was called Personal Evangelism.
I still have the notes and I value them very much. They are in German and a long time ago I started to translate them into English.
1. One chapter gives us four reasons why Personal Work has advantages Here they are:
a. Everybody can do this work. b. It can happen at any time. c. It can happen at any place. d. It hits all the time.
2. Another chapter asks the question:
WHY SHOULD EVERY CHRISTIAN BE A SOUL WINNER?
It was the work of the Lord Jesus Christ himself.
He has commanded his followers to do the same.
It is the only biblical explanation why a Child of God, whose citizenship is in heaven, remains in this world. (Second Corinthians 5:17-21; Philippians 3:20)
3. And here is the definition of Personal Evangelism:
Personal Evangelism, is the personal, individual desire of a saved soul to lead another person to repentance, so that that person receives Jesus Christ as her or his personal Savior and then also becomes a winner of souls.
On the leaflet mentioned at the beginning we are told to spread the word about “an exciting new directory of events and activities for children and families living in New Zealand!”
Can I encourage you to spread “THE WORD OF GOD”? The Bible is known by the titles “the Scriptures,” “the Writings,” and “THE WORD OF GOD.”

WE SHOULD STRIVE TO LIVE EVERY DAY AS IF IT WAS OUR LAST, FOR ONE DAY IT WILL BE! – Billy Graham
LOS VOM ICH by Ernst Modersohn
LOS VOM ICH by E. Modersohn
In my library you find a slender volume in German written by Ernst Modersohn. Jacob becomes Israel! We read about it in Genesis chapter 25- 32. I finished reading the book just now.
I don’t feel that about many books, but that is a book I am going to read again soon.
In the book the author asks the question:
WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY MEAN TO BELIEVE?
He gives the following answers:
1. It means trusting.
2. It means surrender.
3. It means obedience.
4. It means to reckon with the Lord
