“Auckland’s Greatest Food Festival

18-21 Nov-Victoria Park”

“Enjoy Auckland’s greatest garden party hosted by our leading restaurants.”

“Try food from 14 of Auckland’s best restaurants at bite-size prices.”

Two advertisements advertising “Auckland’s Greatest Food Festival” are in the same paper.

FOOD FOR THE BODY

“Take those scales out of the bathroom; the right place for them is in front of the refrigerator.” – R. Needham, British politician

Our bodies need nourishment. But look around for yourself. We are feeding our bodies well!

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Our souls need nourishment. But read the paper. Are we are feeding our souls well?

Is not the daily reading of the BIBLE the nourishment of the soul for the child of God?

Read also Matthew 4:4

What does the Lord Jesus Christ say?

“Make this Christmas memorable.”

That’s how the advertisement begins and it carries on like this:  “4 Days Christmas special to the Bay of Islands. 24-27 December. Christmas Breakfast & Dinner $797.00 per person (twin share).”

NEW ZEALAND is the most beautiful country, but please come and visit the BAY OF ISLANDS. The BAY OF ISLANDS is beautiful, believe me. We used to live there for a very long time! KAIKOHE was our Mission Station (United Maori Mission) from 1981 until 2004)

Make Christmas 2010 worthy to be remembered. Make it a Christmas easily remembered. Make Christmas 2010 a Christmas  you will never forget.

Do you hear the message?

Please click on picture to see…….

I remember a Christmas Day in my life, a Christmas Day I will never forget.

Why will I forever remember that Christmas Day? Why will I never, never forget that Christmas Day? During that year I grasped the real meaning of CHRISTMAS! What did I do? I received  the Lord Jesus Christ.  I believed in his name. I became a child of God. (Acts 16:31; John 1:12,13) What a Christmas!

That was Christmas 1958, 52 years ago!

Please remember the message:

Make Christmas 2010 worthy to be remembrered. Make Christmas 2010 a Christmas you will never forget.

Receive the Lord Jesus Christ. Believe in his name. Grasp the real meaning of Christmas!

John 5:24

We are condemned, but we can cross over from death to life by hearing and believing!

“IF YOU HAVE SUCCESS,

GIVE THE GLORY TO GOD.

BUT IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE FAILED,

DON’T GIVE UP!”

Those words, neatly framed and neatly written, are hanging on the wall in the room I am in  now, and  I remember them well.

If you don’t succeed the first time, try again…….

I did that today- and it worked!

“DON’T MISS TODAY” is the message on the newsstand. You can see those portable stands at the Warehouse and at dairies.  So far I have discovered three in Kaitaia.

The name of the newspaper is written above the message “Don’t miss today” and underneath the message you can read all the days of the week from MONDAY  to  SUNDAY.

What a message: “Don’t miss today.” Buy a newspaper every day of the week. Buy a paper today!

We hear and read many messages. Today I picked up an advertisement. An artist has an environmental message for us. The ad says: “An environmental message using tattoo symbolism and Hei Tiki.”

I have also a message.  My message is: BUY A BIBLE TODAY. READ YOUR BIBLE TODAY. DON’T MISS TODAY!

For many years the BIBLE was for me like any other book.  But when GOD STEPPED into my life the BIBLE became for me “THE BOOK OF BOOKS”. The BIBLE became food for my soul. I read the BIBLE , but not systematically. I surely was not satisfied with my reading of the Scriptures.

Then GODD STEPPED in again and now I am reading the BIBLE from cover to cover -every word – again and again. I don’t think I miss many days

“Someone has offered this sage advice regarding the use of the Bible:

‘Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure.'”
