“Can you imagine a world without words?” is the question on the LITERACY AOTEAROA  pamphlet, I picked up yesterday together with other material including books, at a stall in the old Pak’nSave carpark in Commerce Street here in Kaitaia.

“Far North Adult Literacy”

Inside the pamphlet it says, “Literacy is reading, writing, listening, speaking and thinking. Literacy is communicating.”

I surely like to  read and to write. I read almost all the words, I come across, no matter where  they are.

There are many books in our home, and I like to spend time in libraries.

There is one special book in the world. Why is it special? Because the book is not written by a human, but by God the HOLY SPIRIT. That book is the Bible. The Bible is “The Word of God”.

In Hebrews 4:12 in the Bible we read:

“For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double- edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

No, I cannot imagine a world without words, especially not without “the word of God”.
