Retirement!
“I just got a newsletter yesterday from an elderly couple serving with a mission to children at risk. They write: ‘Can we challenge you to consider that retirement, meaning doing little or nothing is a ‘manmade’ concept and not found in the Scriptures. Each of us can do something wherever He has placed us in the world and under whatever circumstances, until He calls us home.'”
From an article by T. Paton called “Can you carry a stretcher?”
Total Commitment!

“A Different Style of Living”
On the front cover of the latest Northland Biggest Property Guide current to August 25, 2010 I am reading: “Experience A Different Style Of Living. See Inside Cover.” On the inside cover you find images and a description of the “home of the week”. In bold letters under the big picture I read, “Site and home to behold……”
A different style of living? Are you longing for a different style of living? If you are, come to the Lord Jesus Christ. He is waiting for you. He says in Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
You can experience a different style of life with the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible, the Word of the Living God, has lot to say about a different style of life; our attitudes, our habits and our behaviour.
Ephesians 4:23 says that we are “…; to be made new in the attitude of our minds;…” Philippians 2:5 “Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ:” Read also the verses 6-8 of the same chapter ( chaper two). First Peter 4:1; Hebrews 4:12.
Read also what the Bible says about habits. We read about bad habits in First Timothy 5:13 and Hebrews 10:25. We are warned not to become idlers, gossips and busybodies. We are also warned not to give up meeting together.
Romans 13:13 admonishes us to behave decently. We are not to live in orgies, drunkenness, sexual immorality, debauchery, dissension and jealousy. First Peter 3:1 teaches about the behaviour of wives. Read also First Peter 3:16.
When we are experiencing a different style of living with the Lord Jesus Christ we are on our way to our eternal home in heaven and that is a home to behold……”
