To win our review copy of In Order to Live, tell us a goal you’re proud to have achieved.
“THE BOOK OF BOOKS”
I read books from cover to cover, but reading the Bible from cover to cover was difficult for me somehow at one stage of my life.
That’s why my goal was long ago to read the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation, from cover to cover.
The year came when I read the Bible twice from cover to cover, every word.
I am not proud to have achieved the goal, all praise belongs to God, who enabled me to do so.

KORU
“Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.” – Daniel 12:3
“WHO DO YOU CALL?”
“Who do you call?” it says almost in the center of the page. It is a page in the newspaper, where you find the adverts.
You call an Electrician for all aspects of electrical work.
Telephone
You call a Stonemason for all aspects of rock work and repairs.
You call “Shower Solutions” for Installation, Repairs & Shower Domes.
But who do you call for a guilty conscience?
You call the Lord Jesus Christ for a guilty conscience.
In Hebrews 10:22 the Bible says:
“let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.”
I know for sure that “A clear conscience makes a soft pillow,” was used many years ago as a church sign.
IS HERE A TAILOR?
I am reading that a blessed General in Germany liked to tell the following story.
His name was General von Viebahn.
Sewingmachine
The uniform of an officer came to grief in a maneuver, it was badly torn. “Is here a tailor?” asked the officer, when he met soldiers in a village. “Yes,” said one soldier. But when the officer asked him to mend his coat, he received this reply, “That I cannot do, my name is Tailor.”
General von Viebahn concluded, “Many are calling themselves “a Christian,” but they are not Christians at all.
Let us ask ourselves, “Am I also only a nominal Christian?”
