What do we really need?

FREEDOM was the theme at Tuesday’s Anzac Day service here in Kaitaia.

At the civic service the poem FREEDOM by American Army veteran Charles M Province was quoted.

TE AHU in Kaitaia

In the poem we read about the freedoms the soldier has given us.

We need FREEDOM from sin.

The Lord Jesus Christ has given us freedom from sin. Revelation  1:5 says:

“TO HIM WHO LOVES US AND HAS FREED US FROM OUR SINS BY HIS BLOOD, …”

“THE NATURE OF SPIRITUAL LIFE IS THAT WE ARE CERTAIN IN OUR UNCERTAINTY, CONSEQUENTLY WE DO NOT MAKE OUR NESTS ANYWHERE.” – Oswald Chambers
