“If you don’t have time to pray & read scriptures, you are busier than God ever intended you to be,” it says on the first page of a church newsletter.

DURCH GEBET weicht
der Staub von der Seele und
die Last vom Gewissen und
die Angst aus dem Herzen.

Finished reading the book:
REALITAETEN
Gottes Wirken heute erlebt
by M. Basilea Schlink in German.
It is one of the books you have trouble putting down. At least I have!
I think it would be a good idea to get hold of a good number of copies in English to give away!
“FREE BATTERY TEST”
“Free Battery Test,” it says at one of the many garages here in town (Kaitaia). I pass the place in which motor vehicles are being repaired on my way to the main shopping center.
Batteries
Have you heard about Prayer Batteries?
I think it was years ago at the WEC International (Missionary Society) HQ in London, when I heard for the first time of Prayer Batteries.
One of the definitions under ‘battery’ in The Collins Concise Dictionary is “a group of guns, missile launchers, etc., operating as a single entity.”
C. H. Spurgeon writes this, “‘Fervent Prayer,’ says an old divine, ‘like a cannon planted at the gates of heaven, makes them fly open.'”
Free Prayer Battery Test.
What is the result? What do you think?
I notice that WEC International writes now about Prayer Groups, not Prayer Batteries, at least here in New Zealand (NZ Praying Worldwide).
GOALS THAT PULL
Has anybody ever asked you the question, “Do you have a regular exercise program?”
I am motivated to be on the streets in town where the people are. My goal is to leave at least once a day our home for the center of Kaitaia. There are many places where you can get a good cup of coffee and that are also the places to meet people and get into conversations.
I enjoy walking, and it is quite a distance from our place into town.
I am also motivated to read.
At the present time another of my goals is to get hold of a certain magazine every two weeks at a certain place at a certain time.
In order to do that I am required to walk for quite a distance.
My answer to the question, “Do you have a regular exercise program?” is “Yes!”
My exercise program is walking and I have told you about the goals which pull me to do so.
Goals have power!
LEBENSANZEIGE
Todesanzeige oder Lebensanzeige?
Wir sind gewohnt, von Todesanzeigen zu lesen. Aber wie erstaunt war ich heute, von einer Lebensanzeige unter
“VERSTORBEN”
zu lesen.
“Lebensanzeige – durch den Tod
ins ewige Leben uebergegangen,”
heisst es da und darunter finde ich den folgenden Bibelvers:
“Ich bin die Auferstehung und das Leben; wer an mich glaubt, wird leben, auch wenn er gestorben ist; und jeder, der da lebt und an mich glaubt, wird nicht sterben in Ewigkeit.” – Johannes 11:25,26
Und darunter steht natuerlich der Name des Verstorbenen und der Name der hinterbliebenen Frau.
Welch eine Ermutigung ist es fuer mich, das zu lesen.
Wie wird dein Leben enden?
Mit einer Todesanzeige oder einer Lebensanzeige?
