No Ordinary STORE

Because the store is not an ordinary store, you need a special key for it.

It is a rich store. It is a store full of treasure.

You can read about the store in the Bible in the Old Testament. The prophet Isaiah is talking about the store in his prophecy.

THE KEY

THE KEY

The first treasure in the store is SALVATION.

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” – Acts 4:12

The second treasure in the store is WISDOM.

“It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us WISDOM from God –

that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.” – First Corinthians 1:30. Read also Colossians 2:3

The third treasure in the store is KNOWLEDGE.

“in whom are hidden all the treasures of WISDOM and knowledge.” – Colossians 2:3

And what is the key to the store? The key to the store is “THE FEAR OF THE LORD.”

“…, a rich store of SALVATION and WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.” – Isaiah 33:6 (NIV)

LIFE TUBES

LIFE TUBE Age Concern

LIFE TUBE Age Concern

The Life Tube is kept inside the refrigerator (a refrigerator has a good chance of surviving earthquakes or floods) for Emergency Personnel.

Personal Information (Medical conditions, medications, doctor, next of kin and contact numbers) is in the Life Tube in case you get ill or you have an accident and cannot speak.

Emergency Services are trained to look inside the fridge for the Life Tube!

How do you make Peace with your Past?

“Make Peace with your Past

So it doesn’t spoil your Present.”

I am reading that in the local Age Concern newsletter. (July 2013)

How do we make Peace with our Past?

THE CROSS

THE CROSS

“For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him [Jesus], and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making Peace through his blood, shed on the cross.” – Colossians 1:19,20

“GIVE BLOOD HERE”

The sign I saw yesterday in the middle of our town made me think again about the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1. The blood of the Lord Jesus Christ justifies us.

"SAVE BLOOD HERE"

“SAVE BLOOD HERE”

Romans 5:9

2. The blood of the Lord Jesus Christ makes us holy.

Hebrews 13:12

3. The blood of the Lord Jesus Christ purchased us.

Revelation 5:9

4. The blood of the Lord Jesus Christ purifies us.

First John 1:7

5.The blood of the Lord Jesus Christ makes us overcomers (conquerers).

Revelation 12:11

6. The blood of the Lord Jesus Christ gives us peace.

Colossians 1:20

7. The blood of the Lord Jesus Christ gives us protection.

Exodus 12:12,13

And I know that the Lord Jesus Christ shed his blood for me!

“SECRET THINGS”

“STOP THINKING TOO  MUCH, IT’S ALRIGHT NOT TO KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS,” is one of the seven lovely logics, I find in  the  local July 2013 Age Concern newsletter.

There are “The secret things” and there are “the things revealed”.

The Bible speaks about them in Deuteronomy 29:29. (Easy to remember!)

There it says:

STOP

STOP

“The secret things

belong to the LORD our God,

but the things revealed

belong to us and our children forever,

that we may follow all the words of this law.”

Let us remember what belongs to the LORD and what belongs to us!
