GERMANS IN NZ! (P.E.)

Posted on by

I told them about the Lord, those two German tourists. Matthew 10:32,33

But now I ask myself: Don’t Germans go to church any  more and don’t they explore the meaning of life any more either?

(Deutschland, das Land der Reformation und das Land der Dichter und Denker!)

But they listened to what I had to say and I encouraged them to think about it.

“It pays to plan ahead”

“New Zealand Post” has a service called “Please hold all mail…..” That is for people, who are going on holiday.  All you need to do is fill in a Hold service application. For those with the SuperGold card the service is even FREE!

I am reading just now on the application card : “It pays to plan ahead.” Those five words took my attention immediately. “IT  PAYS TO PLAN AHEAD”

It surely pays  to plan ahead. And please remember to plan ahead for the time after your death. The Bible, the Word of the Living God says:

“JUST AS MAN IS DESTINED TO DIE ONCE, AND AFTER THAT TO FACE JUDGMENT,…”

Hebrews 9:27

COMPLAINING? – REJOICING!!

I read this today in “Coffee News” (14. 09. 2009) under the heading Quotable Quotes:

“You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.” – Ziggy

Let us rather rejoice!

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: REJOICE!” Philippians 4:4

Philippians is a book in the Bible, the Word of the Living God.

DO YOU WANT TO BE STRONG? “…., in quietness… is your strength,….” (Isaiah 30:15)

One of the sayings they have in Germany goes like this: “Sie muss immer das letzte Wort haben.”

The meaning in the english language is something like this: “She must always have the last word or the last say.”

That is not my problem! Or is it? To a certain degree we all have the problem of wanting to  have the last word.

That’s why I picked up my Bible today and read again the verse in Isaiah 30:15. There it says: “…, in quietness …. is your strength, ….”

Those words in Isaiah 30:15 “…., in quietness ….is your strength,…” have always been a blessing to me, but I remember a time in my life many years ago when those words were a special blessing.

The WORD OF GOD is a sword, a hammer, a seed, a mirror, a fire, a lamp and food.P1050355 There are Bible verses for those symbols. Please make an effort to find them!

I noticed that some people don’t need an outline for their sermons. They are difficult to listen to.

Please remember Isaiah 30:15 “….., in quietness …. is your strength.”
