"Meine Kanzel ist die Welt"

“Meine Kanzel ist die Welt”

“Meine Kanzel ist die Welt” (“My Pulpit is the World”).

It is not surprising that more than 100.000 copies of the book have been sold. I have read the ten stories (in German) twice and I will probably read them again.

One of the best books I have ever read!

Batteries

COMPACT CHARGER

COMPACT CHARGER

That respite care will allow her to recharge her batteries, says the wife, who supports her husband, who has Parkinson’s disease.

We must allow ourselves to recharge our batteries. (I have just recharged the laptop I am working on now!) How do we do that as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ?

Let me just mention two things, that are of uttermost importance, namely Reading the Bible and Prayer.

Not long ago I finished reading the book GROWING IN GRACE by Bob George in German.

In his chapter Food to Grow he mentions first private studying of the Bible and second Prayer.

At the local Salvation Army Centre  here in Kaitaia I picked up “STEPS TO PEACE WITH GOD” by Billy Graham and on the last page of the little booklet he says that in order to deepen our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ we must do several things, but he mentions first of all reading the Bible every day and secondly talking to God in prayer during every day. He says also that reading the Word of God regularly helps us to know the Lord Jesus Christ better.

What respite care (Regular Breaks) is for people who look after people who require permanent care is Reading the Scriptures and Prayer for the people who follow the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Foolishness” or “Power of God”

I DISCOVERED THIS CROSS YESTERDAY

I DISCOVERED THIS CROSS YESTERDAY

Although I have been here in Kaitaia for a good number of years, I only noticed yesterday the cross on the roof of the local hospital.

The cross has a message for us. The message of the cross is:

“‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are  mine.'”

To some the message of the cross is foolishness.

If the message of the cross is foolishness to you you belong to those who are perishing.

To some the message of the cross is the Power of God.

If the message of the cross is the Power of God to you you are being saved.

For me the message of the cross is is the Power of God and I am being saved!

The message of the cross is atonement and justification.
