THE CROSS

“God ‘will give to each person

Romans 2:6-8

Intr.:

according to what he has done’.

A.  To those who

1.  by persistence in doing good

2.  seek

a. glory,

b.  honor and

c.  immortality,

he will give eternal life.

B.  But for those who

1.  are self-seeking and

2.  who reject the truth and

3. follow evil

there will be wrath and anger.”

Home Defence

“Transform your home with total protection technology,” I am told.

What an encouragement, to defend the building, to protect the dwelling, I am living in. Are you looking after the home you are dwelling in? I am and I know also that it is quite costly to do so.

But the home is not only the building, the home is the people who live in the house.

Can I encourage you to defend your family, can I encourage you to protect the people who live in your dwelling. Families need protection from many things.

Drinking is a problem.

Smoking is a problem.

Drugs are a problem.

Pornography is a problem.

I don’t need to elaborate on all those problems, because you find the details in the newspapers and you hear about them over the radio and see them on TV.

I remember a saying and it goes like this:

Only those people who have learned to be obedient themselves, can demand obedience from others.

That is a good saying for parents to remember. I translated it from German to my best knowledge.

I am all for transforming my home, the building, with total protection technology, but I know that it is more important to protect and to defend the people who live in the dwelling.

What is the motto of the Salvation Army?

“CARING FOR PEOPLE

TRANSFORMING LIVES

REFORMING SOCIETY”
