MY WAY WITH THE BIBLE
There was a time in my life, when the Bible was like any other book.
But the time came, when the Bible became alive for me.
At that time I found the Lord Jesus Christ, or rather the Lord Jesus Christ found me. At that time I passed from darkness to life. I crossed over from death to life. With other words I was born again. I had a second birthday. I was a new creation and I began a new life.
But that is not all.
For a long time I read the Bible, here a little bit and there a little bit, but I never managed to read the Bible from the beginning to the end like you read any other book.
But eventually the time came, when I read the Bible from cover to cover, and when I say that, I mean every word! There was one year some time ago, when I read the Bible twice from cover to cover. It is now my habit, to read at least once a year from Genesis to Revelation. For those who do not know, Genesis is the first and Revelation the last book of the Word of God.
I actually believe that for people who are not born again, the Bible is like any other book. I am saying that because of my own experience.
John 3:3 says: “IN REPLY JESUS DECLARED, ‘I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, UNLESS A MAN IS BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD,'”
“The natural man does no believe that this Word is true; to him the Bible is jut a book like any other book.” – D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

RELATIONSHIPS, AND ONCE MORE RELATIONSHIPS

AGE CONCERN: Serving the needs of older people.
“‘…, for I am the LORD, who heals you,'” it says in Exodus 15:26 (NIV).
And this is the translation of D. Martin Luther of Exodus 15:26 in the German Bible on my book shelf. “…; denn ICH BIN DER HERR DEIN ARZT.”
The word I am looking for is the word General Practitioner, GP. And the German word “Arzt” is the English word for GP.
Not long ago I attended a free presentation by a General Practitioner here in Kaitaia at the Age Concern Offices with the title:
“BE PROACTIVE!
A POSITIVE APPROACH TO HEALTH AND AGEING.”
So far as I know, notes were taken by somebody, but I remember that a lifelong doctor patient relationship was recommended, if at all possible. However, it was also said that that was very difficult to achieve in rural areas, like Kaitaia.
Thinking about relationships, I am thinking there about my relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ from the age of 18, and that it says in the Bible: “…; denn ICH BIN DER HERR, DEIN ARZT,” and that the Lord Jesus Christ says, “‘And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Please read THE GREAT COMMISSION in Matthew 28:16-20!
