THE ADVERT IN NEW LYNN

“UP TO $750 CASH”

WAR CRY GIVEAWAY

To win a copy of Unashamed tell us what ‘shame’ means to you.

Not long ago I saw in Auckland the following “Payday Advance” advertisement:

“Up to $750 cash

When the boss won’t help, we can !”

I only noticed the ad after I had taken the picture. “What an offer!” I am thinking now , while ,looking at the picture – but that is certainly not for me.

I would actually be ashamed to ask for my pay before payday.

Arriving back in Kaitaia I found the following verse from the Bible in our local paper: “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'” You find that verse in Hebrews 13:5. Read also First Corinthians 13:4 and Romans 13:8.

REPENTANCE

"I dared to call him father"

“I DARED TO CALL HIM FATHER”

REPENTANCE

What would you answer if someone asked you to define repentance?

The best answer so far I found in the book I DARED TO CALL HIM FATHER.

Here it is: “REPENTANCE, I DISCOVERED, WAS NOT TEARFUL REMORSE SO MUCH AS ADMITTING WHERE I HAD GONE WRONG AND AVOWING WITH HIS HELP NEVER TO MAKE THAT MISTAKE IN THE FUTURE.”
