“GOTT IST TREU (GOD IS FAITHFUL),” is the title of a book written by Stephan Holthaus.
(I have two copies in German and I am quite happy to give them away. Please ask for a copy!)
It is the story of the Bible College in Germany I went to many years ago.
At the moment I am learning that it is important to be good stewards of our life stories. In fact the Bible teaches that God not only commanded the Israelites to teach their children His law, but also their family history.
The Lord worked in their behalf and it was the responsibility of the parents and grandparents to tell their children their stories. Please read the beginning of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament chapter four.
You have a unique story to tell, just as I have a unique story to tell.
DO OTHERS KNOW …
… what you believe?
… why you believe what you believe?
… the story of how you came to faith?
… how God has worked in your life to strengthen your faith?
… how God has helped you through doubts and disappointments? (Think about those questions and give an answer!)
Just as “God is Faithful” is the story of the Bible College I went to many years ago, I can say that “God is Faithful” is the story of my life.
