THE CROSS

“Bless the LORD,

Psalm 103:20

Intr.:

ye his angels,

1.  that excel in strength,

2.  that do his commandments,

3.  hearkening unto the voice of his word.”

End:

People or God?

We must decide!

C.H. Spurgeon says,

“Christians often look to people for HELP and COUNSEL, and mar the noble simplicity of their reliance upon their God.”

Let us notice especially the two words HELP and COUNSEL.

1.  HELP

David says, “I cried to the Lord for help.” (Psalm 18:6)

Solomon gives this advise, “For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help.” (Psalm 72:12)

Asaph cries, “Help us, O God our Saviour. for the glory of your name.” (Psalm 79:9)

A Psalmists whose name is not mentioned says, “We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.” (Psalm 33:20)

2.  COUNSEL

David again says,” I will praise the LORD, who counsels me.” (Psalm 16:7)

Asaph again says, “You guide me with your counsel, …” (Psalm 73:24)

The Holy Spirit is the COUNSELER.

(John 14:16; John 14:26; John 15:26)

What is your decision?

Remember what you mar, if you don’t rely on the Lord.

“Auckland Writers & Readers Festival”

“Books we love,” it says on the bookmark, advertising the AUCKLAND WRITERS & READERS FESTIVAL. (15-19 My 2013, Aotea Centre, the Edge)

There are many books I love.

When I was young I loved books that told me about “those faraway lands”. I think the reason for that was that I wanted to go there. And I did go from Germany to New Zealand.

But there is one book I love more than any other book.

The book I love more than any other book is like:

1.  a sword,

2.  a hammer,

3.  a seed,

4.  a mirror,

5.  a lamp,

6.  food.

The book I love more than any other book is called the GOOD BOOK.

If you don’t know what the GOOD BOOK is look “Good Book” up in the The Collins Concise Dictionary.
