To talk about the wrath of God, we are told, is utterly incompatible with any idea of God as a God of love.” – D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
“… CHILDREN OF WRATH, …”
“It’s a girl!” or “It’s a boy!” begin some birth announcements in the newspapers (Family notices). I am looking at one announcement now which even has a little image of balloons.
In his letter to the saints who live in Ephesus the apostle Paul is writing, “and [we] were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.” – Ephesians 2:3 (Authorized Version) Another translation says, “Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.” (NIV)
The apostle Paul says here two things in few words:
1. All humans are under the wrath of God.
2. All humans are under the wrath of God by nature.
That means that we are born “by nature the children of wrath”.
I don’t think we would ever find a birth notice which would say this:
We want to announce the birth of a child of wrath.
But that is the truth!
INFORMATION
AT THE BEACH
Where do we find trustworthy information?
The INFORMATION readers get from their Fairfax community newspapers:
64% of readers find the information trustworthy.
The INFORMATION radio listeners get from radio:
33% of radio listeners in the last 7 days find the information to be trustworthy.
If you want really trustworthy INFORMATION read the BIBLE.
The BIBLE says,
“Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, …” (Hebrews 9:27)

Earthquake
Finished reading the book “In Praise of our Post Office” by Fiona Craig
Not long ago I was thinking how good it is that the north of New Zealand, where I live, is not known to have a history of earthquakes.
So it was a real surprise to read in the book “In Praise of Our Post Office” by Fiona Craig about the earthquake of 1963 in Whangaroa, not far from Kaitaia, where I live now.
I am living in New Zealand since the end of 1979!
