“Time magazine says Harry Potter books give their readers social, moral and political inspiration!” says the cartoon in our local paper today. (The Northland Age, Tuesday, August 2, 2016)

I don’t know the source of your inspiration, but I know the source of my inspiration; the source of my inspiration is the BIBLE.

WELL

SOCIAL means relating to human society.

MORAL means relating to human behaviour.

POLITICAL means relating to the state.

The Bible is full of establishing a relation between God and humans and a relation between humans.

THE AUTHOR OF THE BIBLE IS THE HOLY SPIRIT!

“‘My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.'” – Jeremiah 2:13

“AN EXPOSITION OF EPHESIANS ONE”

This time of the year – August – here in New Zealand is the time to do some serious study. The weather is not all that pleasant and it is better inside than outside. (So far today we have had rain for most of the day, and when it comes down it comes down.)

That’s why I  took the exposition of Ephesians ONE by D M Lloyd-Jones from my book shelf not only to read it but to study it and to make notes as well.

Have you ever wondered about the expression ‘in heavenly places’ in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians? Well, D M Lloyd-Jones explains it on pages 62 and 63.

I really feel that I am understanding the exposition and that I am making progress spiritually by reading the sermons by this teacher of the Scriptures.

“This is

Jeremiah 31:35

Intr.:

what the LORD says,

1.  he who appoints the sun to shine by day,
2. who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night,
3. who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar –

End:

the LORD Almighty is his name.”
