“A CHURCH IS A HOSPITAL FOR SINNERS, NOT A MUSEUM FOR SAINTS.” – Pauline Philips

“Our debt is too high,” says one candidate who is standing for Whangarei Mayor in the 2013 local government elections on October 12.

Another candidate who stands for Whangarei Mayor says, “Whangarei First” and “My only agenda is to put Whangarei first.” NORTHLAND ELECTION GUIDE (Northern Advocate, Tuesday, September 17, 2013)

Whenever I come across the word DEBT I remember what it says about debt in the Bible. In Romans 13:8 we read, “Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.”

MY ONLY ADENDA IS TO PUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FIRST.

It says in Matthew 6:33:

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

THE KEY

Three keys for usefulness and power:

“The first key for usefulness and power for Christians today is humility. 

The second is the realization that sanctification is only in Christ. 

The third key is reliance on the Holy Spirit. ” – Billy Graham 

THE CROSS

“And he said unto them, When ye pray, say,

Luke 11:2-4

Intr.: 

Our Father which art in heaven,

1.  Hallowed be thy name.

2.  Thy kingdom come.

3.  Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

4.   Give us day by day our daily bread.

5.  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.

6.  And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.”

End:
