To win The Reformation Experience, tell us  which historical figure you’d like to have dinner with and why.

I wrote:

John Calvin

10. 07. 1509 – 27. 05. 1564

One of the many questions I would ask him is why he listened to FAREL (preacher) when he told him that God would curse him if he did not do his work in Geneva.

“WATER & WORDS.”

“Water & words. Easy to pour, impossible to recover!” I am reading on the board, that is standing in front of one of our hairdressers.P1000740

And this morning in my reading of the Bible from cover to cover, I came to Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, where it says in chapter four, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” (Ephesians 4:29, NIV) In another translation it says, “Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.” (Ephesians 4:29, NLT)

I am asking myself now, “What kind of words are pouring out of my mouth?” Do you want to ask yourself the same question?

Intr.:

A man reaps what he sows.

A.  The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap DESTRUCTION;

B.  the one  who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap ETERNAL LIFE .

End: 

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

“IF WE DON’T STAND FOR SOMETHING WE’LL FALL FOR ANYTHING!”

werner-150x150“If we don’t stand for something we’ll fall for anything!”

I stand for the fact that the Bible does not contain the Word of God, but that the Bible IS the Word of God. (Second Timothy 3:16; Second Peter 1:21 )

Not that I am a great singer, but I like to sing the hymn STANDING ON THE PROMISES . The author of that beautiful hymn is  Russell Kelso Carter, wo lived from 1849-1928.

I am standing on the promises of God.

If you are a reader of the Bible, you must have noticed the phrase “fear not”. I am just learning that the phrase appears 365 times in the Bible. And I don’t need to tell you that there are 365 days in one year. That means that there is one “fear not” for every day of the year.

Here are some promises to stand on:

“‘So do not fear, for I am with you;…'” – Isaiah 41:10

THE LORD IS WITH US!

“‘Do not fear; I will help you.'” – Isaiah 41:13

THE LORD WILL HELP US!

“‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.'” – Isaiah 43:1

THE LORD HAS REDEEMED US! HE KNOWS US BY NAME! WE ARE HIS!

That are only some of the promises. And please remember this: “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ.” – Second Corinthians  1:20

I am not making any promises any more. I don’t need to tell you why.

What do you stand for? Remember the warning: “IF WE DON’T STAND FOR SOMETHING WE’LL FALL FOR ANYTHING!”
