Our Local Paper
I enjoy reading the verses from the Bible in our local paper, THE NORTHLAND AGE.
I really like Psalm 33:6-8:

SUNSHINE
“A DAY WITHOUT SUNSHINE IS LIKE NIGHT.” – Bumper sticker
Commerce Street in KAITAIA TODAY without SUNSHINE
A LIFE WITHOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS LIKE A DAY WITHOUT SUNSHINE.
In Psalm 84:11 it says, “For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; …”
John Keble wrote the hymn “SUN OF MY SOUL” and in the hymn he says,
“Abide with me from morn till eve, for without Thee I cannot live.”
Pillars
AT THE BEACH
“He (or she) is a pillar of strength.”
Have you ever said that about a person? I have said that and I have even thought that today while having a cup of coffee in one of our restaurants.
In the Bible we are reading about three people who were known as pillars of the church.
The names are James, Peter and John. We are reading that in Galatians 2:9 (NLT).
JAMES
He was an Apostle and the son of Alphaeus. “An apostle was one of the men selected by Jesus to be eyewitnesses of the events of his life, to see him after his Resurrection and to testify to mankind concerning him.” (20th Century Bible Dictionary)
PETER
He was also an Apostle. He became a “rock” after Pentecostal Baptism of the Spirit and was courageous and immovable.
Miracles by Peter:
We are reading about the miracles in the book of Acts. In Acts 3:7 a lame man is cured. In Acts 5:4,10 we find the story of Ananias and Sapphira. In Acts 5:15 the sick are healed. The story of Aeneas is found in Acts 9:34. Read also the story of Dorcas in Acts 9:40.
JOHN
He was the beloved disciple and the son of Zebedee. We read that in John 13:23; John 19:26; John 20:2; John 21:7,20.
He learned the lesson of love in the school of the Lord Jesus Christ and was entrusted with the care of the Mother of the Lord.
As what are we known?
I have met pillars on the mission field in THAILAND. One of them was one of our field leaders, who was a real pillar of strength. In fact he was like a father to me.

ROMANS CHAPTER 6
I am still reading the exposition of ROMANS by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones.
I am on page 182 of the exposition of chapter 5 – ASSURANCE – and I also belong to those, “who owe an incalculable debt to the ministry of Dr D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones”.
ROMANS Chapter 6
ROMANS,
Exposition of Chapter 6,
THE NEW MAN
by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
About 1943 D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones was asked by another preacher when he is going to preach a series of expository sermons on the Epistle to the ROMANS.
But like many others he had struggled with chapter 6 for several years.
Eleven years later he studied ROMANS chapter 6 again and arrived at a satisfactory understanding and in 1955 began preaching an extended series on the Epistle to the ROMANS.

A. Saved
“SAVED” is used in three different tenses and senses in the Bible.
1. In the past we have been saved from the guilt of sin.
2. But we are still being saved
a. from the power of sin and
b. from the pollution of sin.
We are not only guilty before God, but our nature is affected by Adam’s sin. SANCTIFICATION is going on at the present time.
3. Third tense
In the Future we shall be finally and completely saved.
That is GLORIFICATION.
We shall not only be delivered from the power of sin and pollution of sin, but also our body shall be delivered from sin.
