THE CROSS

THE CROSS

“Take up your own daily cross;

it is the burden best suited for your shoulders,

and will prove most effective to make you perfect in every good word and work

to the glory of God.” – Charles Haddon Spurgeon

REPETITIONS

The repetitions I read on the front pages of The Warehouse mailers, there are three at the present time, remind me of the method of teaching of a good teacher.

For example, when a good Bible Teacher teaches a letter written by one of the Apostles verse by verse, he repeats what he has said in his previous lecture, he gives a summary of the week before.

A good teacher reminds the listeners carefully of what they have learned last time. A good teacher knows the importance of repetition.

About one preacher of the gospel it is said that his summary was almost as moving as the previous lecture.

“Outdoor Living for less,” “Joyfully low prices,” and “Your Summer of low prices,” I am reading on the front pages of the three mailers.

FAVOURITES?

“Jesus loves you! But I am one of his favourites.”

Maybe you have seen that sticker on the bumper of a car. I have not yet, but I have thought and even said that I am one of God’s favourites. I think I also heard once a famous guest speaker saying that he is one of God’s favourites.

"ALIVE IN CHRIST"

“ALIVE IN CHRIST”

The WarCry is The Salvation Army magazine and each issue has right at the beginning a Bible Verse in English and Maori.

In one of the latest issues the verse was Acts 10:34:

“God plays no favourites! It makes no difference, who you are or where you’re from – if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open.” The Message

Acts 10:34 says very clearly that “God plays no favourites!” What now?

Maybe a better way is to say that I am a special object of God:

1. I am a special object of God’s concern.

2. I am a special object of God’s attention.

3. I am a special object of God’s purpose.

“I AM ALIVE UNTO GOD.”
