WHITE RIBBON DAY
WHITE RIBBON DAY
25 November
“MATE!
SHOW YOU’RE AGAINST VIOLENCE TOWARDS WOMEN.”
“Light up your CHRISTMAS.”
“Light up your Christmas.”
Come to the “‘light of the world.'”
***************
I observed CHRISTMAS eighteen times in the darkness. I celebrated CHRISTMAS in the light for the first time when I was nineteen years of age.
What happened?
The Holy Spirit created a new life in me. That new life is called the “new creation”, or the “new man.”
I had a second birthday. My second birthday was on the 2nd of September 1958.
I began a new life.
The new birth is also called regeneration.
The new birth opens the door to salvation, to heaven, to the family of God and to the kingdom of the Son of God.
***************
Come to the Lord Jesus Christ, he is “‘the light of the world.'” He says himself: “‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'”
Seasons Greetings
“The best…”
“The best portion of a good person’ s life,
Their little, nameless, unremembered acts
of kindness and love.” – William Wordsworth
Calling or Job
“I think that most of us are looking for a calling, not a job. Most of us have jobs that are too small for our spirit. The challenge, then, is to make your job big enough to give you what your spirit needs.” – Nora Watson
When I read the quote by Nora Watson in the publication called Coffee News (Vol 128:1), I was thinking that I am also looking for a calling and not the job.
The apostle Paul wrote at least 12 letters of the New Testament. Have you ever noticed how he begins his letters?
Romans: “…, called to be an apostle…”
1 Corinthians: “…., called to be an apostle..”
2. Corinthians: “…. by the will of God,…..”
Galatians: “Paul, an apostle- sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ…”
Ephesians: “…apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,….”
Philippians: “.., servants of Christ Jesus,….”
Colossians: “….apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,…”
1 Thessalonians: “Paul, Silas and Timothy,…”
2 Thessalonians: “Paul, Silas and Timothy…”
1 Timothy: “..an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God…”
2 Timothy: “.. apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,…”
Titus: “….., a servant of God and apostle of Jesus Christ…”
Do you have a job or a calling?
I know what I have!
