“Includes fiction, biographies, histories, children’s & stunning classics,” says the “Christmas books guide” in the Australian Women’s Weekly December 2014 New Zealand Edition.

The Open BIBLE

We find the Christmas Story in the Bible, but the Bible is not included in the “Christmas books gift guide”. I can find only one religious book included and that is the book with the title Fields of Blood, Religion and History of Violence by Karen Armstrong.

At the end of the guide I read about a Giveaway. In order to win one of the Giveaway books I must tell the book that changed my life and why. No need to tell you that the Email is given, I am also told what to put in the subject line and the expiry date was 21 December 2014.

The book that is changing my life is the Bible, and if you want to know why please read more posts on this blog.

“People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the  edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.” – Matthew 14:35,36

An advertisement in the publication called “Coffee News” reminds me not to let time run out to advertise , because space to advertise in the paper is limited and in demand for spring and summer.

It is easy to run out of time.

The Bible tells us in Hosea 10:12 that “it is time to seek the LORD.” The Scripture tells us also about a time of favor and a day of salvation.

Let us listen to what we read in Isaiah 49:8:

“IN THE TIME OF MY FAVOR I WILL ANSWER YOU AND IN THE DAY OF SALVATION I WILL HELP YOU.”

The Bible says also that “there is a time for everything, …” You find those words in Ecclesiastes 3, at the beginning of the chapter. Yes, “there is … a time to be born and a time to die …”

Has someone ever asked you, “Can you tell me the time, please?”

The Apostle Paul writes to the church in Corinth, “I tell you NOW is the time of God’s favor, NOW is the day of salvation.” (Second Corinthians 6:2)

Don’t let time run out!

Remember, that “there is … a time to die!”
