I looked into the big window of the local book shop. When my eyes caught the big writing on some of the many greeting cards, I was immediately interested in what I read:

“TRUST IN YOURSELF”

“KEEP BELIEVING IN YOURSELF…”

Wrong teaching wrong living! But I have been taught correctly. The Bible says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;….” (Proverbs 3:5) The Bible says also, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.” (Acts 16:31)

Of course humanism is “the rejection of religion in favour of a belief in the advancement of humanity by its own efforts.” That’s what the Collins Concise Dictionary says.

When are we going to learn, that we are dependant beings and that God is the only one who is selfexistent?

“LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF BREATHS WE TAKE, BUT BY THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY.”

I found this under the heading “On the lighter side” in a publication:

“It’s not the pace of life that concerns us, it’s the sudden stop at the end.”

And so it should! And it is not on the “lighter side” either. In the Bible, in the book of Hebrews, it says in Hebrews 9:27,28  “Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, ….”

This is the Sunrise and Sunset for Friday, June 20, 2008

Sunrise 7:31 am Sunset 5:17 pm

That makes it daylight 9 hours and 46 minutes.

THE LONGEST DAY IS IN DECEMBER. –(22. 12)

(Money or Souls?)

Jeremiah 22:29 was written on the last Christian banner I remember seeing. We had a Tent Mission in the north of Germany run by the Brethren Church.

JEREMIAH 22:29 O LAND, LAND, LAND, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD!

That was about 40 years ago!

Since then I have come only across banners put up by businesses like the Warehouse and McDonald’s advertising their goods.

What  is on our minds?

Money or the winning of Souls?

Banners are working for the Warehouse and McDonald’s. They are also working for you and for me and the Churches.

The Lord Jesus Christ says in Matthew 16:26. (Click on the address!)

The cost of the banner seen on the right is $ 900.

” Grace is God’s attitude to sinners by which He does for them what they do not deserve and in them what they cannot achieve.”

When looking at my computer screen I can see the Auckland weather. I am especially interested in the forecast. Today is Sunday and it is raining. On top of that it is almost the shortest day of the year. It is also raining coming Monday and on Tuesday.

But Wednesday shows a big SUN. Even to see the sun on the screen cheers me up tremendeously. I think we all like the sun.

But there is a time coming when we don’t need the sun any more.

We read about that time at the end of the Bible, in the book of Revelation. Revelation 21:23 says,” The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the lamb is its lamp.”

Are we looking forward to that time?
