“Umbrellas were left to gather dust in the Far North last month, the driest January in Kaitaia (according to Northland Age records) since 1988 and one of the driest on record.”

KINGDOM TARGET

That says the first paragraph of the article “JANUARY THE DRIEST IN AN AGE OF RECORDS” (The Northland Age, Thursday, February, 7, 2013)

Dust on umbrellas means dry weather; it means, that there is a drought, a physical drought. 

Dust on Bibles means that there is a spiritual drought.

The Gospel is preached here in the Far North of New Zealand, especially here in Kaitaia many, many people are gathering at different places every Sunday to praise the Lord.

At the present time there is a Men/Youth Conference at the A&P Showgrounds here in Kaitaia and the theme of one guest speaker was honouring the Bible, THE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD.

He certainly did not have any dust on his Bible and he encouraged us not to leave our Bibles to gather dust.

I leave it to you to answer the following two questions:

Do we have dust on our Bibles?

Do we have a spiritual drought?

Physical droughts are deadly, but spiritual droughts are deadlier.
