The Future AGAIN

A columnist writes in our local paper (BOOKS AND BITES, The Northland Age, Tuesday, May 20, 2014) about young people.

First of all he says that there are young people who feel that they do not have a Future.

And secondly he says that because of that they are not prepared to work for it.

What are we going to do about them? How can we help them? Do we have a message for them?

Of course we have a message for them. The message for them is in the BIBLE.

The Bible tells us about THE FUTURE GLORY OF BELIEVERS. Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ have a glorious FUTURE. What does the Bible say about THE FUTURE GLORY OF BELIEVERS?

1. To be with the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:3).

2. To see his face (Psalm 17:15).

3. To see the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 17:24).

4. To be glorified with Christ (Romans 8:17,18).

5. To reign with the Lord Jesus Christ (Second Timothy 2:12).

6. To inherit all things ( Revelation 21:7)

7. To shine as the stars (Daniel 12:30)

We do not only have a message for young people who feel that they do not have a future.

We have a message for our  entire society, for everybody.

And that is the message in the BIBLE about THE FUTURE GLORY OF BELIEVERS in Jesus Christ.

I rejoice in THE FUTURE GLORY OF BELIEVERS.

Spend Time with your Kids

Posted on by

All the years our two children lived under our roof I spent a lot of time with them. I had the opportunity to do so, and I really did. “Did I spend too much time?” I am asking myself even now.

Yesterday I picked up an old Readers’s Digest (July 2002): In the article “How do you find God?” children were asked  by the writers during December: “What is the very best gift you could receive?”

I doubt it that you will guess the answer. The overwhelming choice was that they were longing for more time with their parents.

I don’t think I spent too much time with my son and my daughter. End of story!

"REVIVAL"

“REVIVAL”

.I remember hearing D Martyn Lloyd – Jones preach once.

From May to September 1963 – more than 50 years ago – I stayed in London in the southeast  (!9 Highland Road ) at a Mission HQ, and someone who was going as a missionary to Liberia (Africa) took me to Westminster Chapel in Buckingham Gate to hear ‘the Doctor’, as he was called.

But I cannot remember anything about the sermon, which is not surprising. My English was not up to scratch at that time either.
