DEAF EARS – BUT IT IS NOT TOO LATE FOR PEOPLE TO HEED THE MESSAGE OF THE COUNCIL

Our local paper, THE NORTHLAND AGE, reports today that “appeals for Kaitaia residents to reduce their water consumption have largely fallen on deaf ears – ….”

But it says also that “it’s not too late for people to heed our message (the message of the Council) and start cutting down on their water use.”

I am thinking now about the MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE, the Word of the  Living God. It is not too late to heed the message of the  Bible to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The BIBLE, the Word of the Living God says:

“HE WHO HAS AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS TO THE CHURCHES.”

Revelation 2:11

Do you have an ear for the message from the Living God?

Our Responsibility

His responsibility – to spark the flame,

Ours – to be willing to be lit;

His responsibility – to empower the light,

Ours – to shine where the darkness is deepest.

His responsibility – to provide the fuel for burning,

Ours – to keep in touch with the source.

God’s Whispers in My Heart

A BIBLE or A BALL?

I love books, all kind of books.  I like also to look at the pictures in books.

Sometimes the pictures are right at the beginning of the books.

I have here before me a book with the picture of a gentleman, who has an open BIBLE in his hand. I am used to pictures like that in  books.

But right now I am reading a book with very great interest where there is a big picture at the beginning of the book with a beautifully dressed elderly gentleman sitting on a chair – holding on to a BALL with both of his hands. It is a basketball. And I don’t think I am mistaken.
