THE MESSAGE ON THE GRAVESTONE!
What a message! And that on a gravestone.
It started with “In Loving Memory Of” and underneath was the name of the dead person. Under that again the date of birth: Born……. But the next line did not read: Died………, but it said: –and I really had to think – ENTERED INTO LIFE………… Next you can read the verse from the Bible: Psalm 16:11 “…; you will fill me with joy in your presence,…”

“Give your child a head start”
“Help set them up for life with Westpac Starter Pac.”
I had business today at the Westpac Bank. The above was written on the leaflet I picked up.
It is very important to start early to teach children to save money.
But it is of uttermost importance to start early to teach children the Bible, the Word of the Living God.
Help set them up for life with a love for God and his Word!
The verse from the Bible, where it says: “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) comes to my mind again!
Personal Evangelism:
ONE
The two monks (Krishna) were selling books in front of the Post Office here in Kaitaia. If they find out that you are not going to buy their books, your conversation with them can be very short.
In my conversation with one of them I managed to find out that he became a monk because he was looking for a saintly person.
I am still thinking about the saints he was looking for.
About that time I was reading what C. H. Spurgeon says about saints in his book “Morning and Evening”, daily readings. On July 6 he is explaining Romans 1:7, where it says, “Called to be saints”.
I had learned some time ago that I am a saint and was glad to read about it again!
TWO
I did not count them, but there must have been at least four or even five girls sitting on the footpath on Watts Street here in Kaitaia in front of the Kaitaia Baptist Church.
They asked for money. They did not get any money of course, but I told them about the love of God.
I am still thinking that those who are preaching in the Baptist church are having it much easier than those who are telling the good news in front of the church.
T – shirts
If you have a verse from the Bible written on your T – shirt people will recognize you as a follower (true follower) of the Lord Jesus Christ in this world.
That’s how I recognized two brothers in Christ not long ago.
For a long time it was my desire to meet up with one of them. I wanted to ask some questions.
Now the Lord provided the opportunity to do so. Praise His name!
