The 5G information evening at REAP today was well attended with some people even standing and listening.

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” – John 14:6

“It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending or confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.” – Philippians 1:7

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” – Hebrews 11:6

“People who don’t know where they come from, don’t know who they are or where they are going,” is a quote by Michael King.

The quote is written on the last page of a leaflet I picked up yesterday (1 February 2020) at a meeting of the Far North Branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists. The special guest speaker was Michelle Patient.

Who am I?

Who does not want to discover more about his ancestors? I would like to know where they came from, where they moved to, what they did to make a living, how they lived and more.

Also yesterday (1 February 2020) I received the prayer and newsletter from a missionary society in Switzerland in German. The letter started with a quote by Blaise Pascal: “Ohne Jesus Christus wissen wir weder, was unser Leben noch was unser Tod ist noch was Gott ist noch was wir selber sind.” (“Without Jesus Christ we do not know what our life, what our death is, what God is, or what we ourselves are.” – Blaise Pascal)

Please notice the 4 points, especially the last one, namely “what we ourselves are.”

“People who don’t know where they come from don’t know who they are or where they are going.” – Dr Michael King
