There is something missing, I was thinking, when reading the article “Momentous night for Kaikohe Rotary Club”, in our local paper. (The Northland Age, Thursday, July 7, 2016)

The function was the farewell for a couple I know quite well. We lived in Kaikohe for almost 25 years working there as missionaries. (United Maori Mission, UMM)

ROTARY

In the article I am reading how the couple has been honoured, about the things they have been involved in and more. There is quite a long list about their achievements. It is quite impressive to read. The building of an airplane is also mentioned, and it is still flying.

But I am missing that the couple was leading the Brethren Assembly in Kaikohe for a long time. It is not mentioned. I said already that we worked as missionaries in Kaikohe, and I used to preach at times in the Brethren Chapel. The Chapel was not far away from our dwelling.

“DO NOT LIE TO EACH OTHER, …”

Being honest. We must tell the truth. Telling the truth keeps the conscience clean.

“A CLEAR CONSCIENCE MAKES A SOFT PILLOW!”

All members of the Family are struggling with telling the truth.

CHILDREN ARE AFRAID TO TELL THE TRUTH.

They are afraid of the response. As a parent we must be forgiving.

HUSBANDS ARE AFRAID TO TELL THE TRUTH.

They are afraid of the response. Wives must be forgiving.

WIVES ARE AFRAID TO TELL THE TRUTH.

They are afraid of the response. Husbands must be forgiving.

Forgiveness is the word.

The Bible says: “DO NOT LIE TO EACH OTHER, SINCE YOU HAVE TAKEN OFF YOUR OLD SELF WITH ITS PRACTICES, …”

“FORGIVEN”
