“Take care of our children. Take care of what they hear. Take care of what they see and take care of what they feel.

For how the children grow so shall be the shape of Aotearoa.” – Dame Whina Cooper

What did the disciples do to those who brought the little children  to Jesus?

The disciples rebuked them!

What did the Lord Jesus Christ do?

“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.'”

He placed his hands on the children.

Matthew 19:13-15; Mark 10:13-16; Luke 18:15-17.

“I do not want merely to possess a faith; I want a faith that possesses me.” – Charles Kingsley

“In Romans 8:14 we read “…, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.”

Not long ago I was led to talk to somebody.

Not at the place where I thought it would be, but where the Lord wanted it to be.

And not what I wanted to say, but what the Lord wanted me to say.

If  I would have said what was on my mind, the conversation would not have ended with a thank you from my friend.

Not long ago I received an invitation to attend the SPRING Conference of the Bible College in Brake. The conference dates: 29. April – 1. Mai 2011.

The Bible College Brake has been in existence for 62 years without losing the vision:

Mission, telling others about JESUS!

That’s the general theme of the Autumn Conference, telling others about JESUS!

JESUS, the good shepherd, John 10:11;

JESUS, the resurrection and the life, John 11:25 ;

JESUS, the way and the truth and the life, John 14:6.

I am a graduate of BIBLE COLLEGE BRAKE!

POWERLESS SUNDAYS?

The headline “ANOTHER POWERLESS SUNDAY” in the local paper, The Northland Age,Tuesday, April,19,2011 took my attention, as you can well imagine.

The first paragraph of the article begins like this:

“The very Far North is about to have another Sunday without electricity (May 1, weather permitting, with May 15 the reserve day) to allow for maintenance…..”

Here is now my question:

DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE A POWERLESS SUNDAY IF YOU DON’T GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY?

Please let me know!

And please remember Hebrews 10:25:

“Let us not give up meeting together, as…..”
