But from a biblical perspective, we don’t pray better by becoming more ‘spiritual’; we pray better by becoming more ‘physical.’ – Matt Woodley Sourced from: IN TOUCH magazine, March 2014

“DAD You’re My Hero”
It is a fancy frame for a picture and at the bottom it says:
“DAD
You’re My Hero”
Where the picture goes, I am reading in brackets “(cause you fix everything!)”.
I have never been able to say that. My father did not come back from World War II. I don’t even know for sure what happened to him.
But what I can says is this: MY Father in heaven!
There are people who can say “DAD You’re My Hero,” but they cannot say, “MY Father in heaven”.
I rather belong to those people who can say “MY Father in heaven,” and cannot say “DAD You’re My Hero.”
RUBBLE
I am stuck and the word “rubble” comes to my mind.
It does not take me long to find it in Nehemiah 4:10, where it says,
“Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, ‘The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall.'”
I have not even done away with the rubble, but I have decided to do so and I am unstuck.
You should try it, it works!

Alles hat seine Zeit, und die Hauptsache ist, dass man mit Gott Schritt haelt und ihm nicht immer schon einige Schritte vorauseilt, allerdings auch keinen Schritt hinter ihm zurueckbleibt. – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“THE END OF THE WORLD” by Bruce Milne
We are threatened by a serious tropical storm.
Started reading the book THE END OF THE WORLD, by Bruce Milne.
“The Doctrine of the Last Things.”
The storm has descended on us and that is especially a time to read good books.
But in spite of the storm I have been to the nearest coffee shop in town for a cup of coffee. The rain is not really all that bad, but the storm is terrible.
But what a blessing it is to read in the book THE END OF THE WORLD by Bruce Milne that:
“The great forces of the universe are all his servants and he is Lord over them all (Isaiah 40:12-31).”
Please read Isaiah 40:12-31. I have read the verses this morning and have been blessed!
My Favorite Building.
“To win a copy of NEW ZEALAND’S LOST HERITAGE tell us your favorite building,” I am reading in the magazine called WAR CRY 08 March 2014 on page four.
I will tell you about my favorite building and I know that I will do that with great joy.
MY FAVORITE BUILDING IS BUILT BY GOD.
1. Exodus 15:11: God is holy.
2. First John 4:8: God is love.
3 First Corinthians 1:9: God is faithful.
4. Psalm 103:8: God is merciful.
5. Deuteronomy 32:4: God is just.
MY FAVORITE BUILDING IS IN HEAVEN.
1. Revelation 20:10: The devil will never enter there.
2. Luke 12:33: Thieves will never enter there.
3. Matthew 6:9: God the Father lives there.
4. First Thessalonians 4:14 All those who have died trusting in Jesus will be there.
Apparently New Zealanders are not very good when it comes to looking after old and proud buildings. Some buildings have been already bulldozed and demolished. Eventually all the buildings will be no more, but my house in heaven will be eternal.
My Favorite Building on earth, the Cambridge Country Store, used to be a Church and is now also a Coffee Shop
What a Challenge!
What a challenge.
“John Wesley used to say he held a very poor view of any Christian who did not pray for at least four hours every day …”
I am reading that in DAILY READINGS from the Works of Martyn Lloyd-Jones selected by Frank Cumbers.
Is that also a challenge for you?
THEY DISAGREE
They Disagree!
What can I say about the two ardent readers of the Scriptures? (Bible)
1. The two are true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and true followers.
2. They are both born again. John 3:3
3. The HOLY SPIRIT is the teacher of both of them. John 14:26
4. They have the same written word before them.
