Praise from God or from people?

From time to time we read in our newspapers that the community is praising certain people.

Whenever I read about praises like that, I remember what the Lord Jesus Christ says in John 5:44:

“How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God.”

Make “effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God.”

THE CROSS

“The officers shall say

Deuteronomy 20: 5-9

to the army:

1.  ‘Has anyone build a new house …

2.  Has anyone planted a vineyard …

3.  Has anyone become pledged to a woman …

Let him go home and, or he may die in battle and someone else marry her.’

Then the officers shall add,

4.  ‘Is any man afraid or fainthearted? Let him go home …’

End:

When the officers have finished speaking to the army, they shall appoint commanders over it.”

It is always a joy for me to find verses from the Bible in the newspapers.

“Thought for today”

“By his wounds we are healed.” – Isaiah 53:5

“Get ready for EASTER,” encourages us THE WAREHOUSE mailer, Issue 35.

I started to get ready for Easter some time ago.

I got hold of the Coopers Beach Easter Camp program. People are going there for Spiritual Rejuvenation and to learn more about the Bible.

On the invitation it says:

The Featured Speakers this year are: ROB JAMIESON and JASON BIRKIN.

Can I encourage you to go to one of the Easter Camps in New Zealand. Coopers Beach EASTER CAMP  is not the only one.

I am looking forward to go to the Coopers Beach Easter Camp to commemorate the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

“‘Hear, O Israel,

Deuteronomy 20:3,4

Intr.:

today you are going into battle against your enemies.

1. Do not be fainthearted or

2.  afraid;

3.  do not be terrified or

4.  give way to panic before them.

End:

For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.'”

It is the most beautiful day and we are enjoying the sunshine.

Just the perfect day to go for a ride on the motorbike (Suzuki SJ50QT).

Motorbike riders are required to turn lights on whenever they are on the road. Something to get used to.
