To win our review copy of Live, Love, Lead, tell us what inspires you in life.
1. Reading books by good Bible Teachers inspires me to read the Bible.
One of my favourite Bible Teachers in D. M. Lloyd-Jones.
2. Going for walks inspires me to write.
Really good ideas are coming to my mind when I am on the last stretch of road before reaching our house.

MONEY
That is a day where we commit to buying nothing.
What a surprise and joy it was yesterday to find a verse from the Bible in The New Zealand Herald. (Monday, November 16, 2015)
On the last page it says:
“Text for today
Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. – Isaiah 48:10.”
“As members of the human race, each of us has inherited from Adam and Eve a sinful nature that results in death.” – Anne Graham Lotz
“If you get down and quarrel every day, you’re saying prayers to the devil, I say.” – Bob Marley
“God’s mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God.” – C. H. Spurgeon
At the Beach
What kind of stories are we writing? What kind of stories are we living?
There are stories which lift us up and there are stories which drag us down.
In the publication Living on the edge in these last days, Issue 3, 2015, I find two stories on page 72, one after the other.
“SALVATION ARMY AND ROME TOGETHER.”
“The Salvation Army was never theologically sound in some areas, and it has long capitulated to the siren of ecumenism.”
“RACE CAR LEGEND PREACHES HELLFIRE AT NATIONAL BREAKFAST.”
“As the keynote speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast, race car champion Darrell Waltrip preached that every person who dies without Jesus Christ goes to hell. The NESCAR Legend gave his testimony of salvation before a crowd of 4,000, including President and Mrs. Obama and the Dalai Lama.
Let us dwell on stories which lift us up and not drag us down, and let us watch what kind of stories we are living!
