Signs! Signs!
“Unlocked cars contribute to the growing crime rate!” says a sign at the Public Toilets in Ahipara. The Warning continues: “Always lock your car securely. Take valuables with you as offenders are known to smash their way into vehicles. I saw that sign today.
Offenders smashed their way some years ago into the car of our visitors. We used to live in Kaikohe at that time.
“Beware of half truths; you may have the wrong half!” you can see sometimes on church signs.
When I saw the warning in Ahipara the church sign came to my mind.
Where does theft come from? The answer is: Theft comes out of the heart!
What else comes out of the heart?
Evil thoughts come out of the heart. Murder comes out of the heart. Adultery comes out of the heart. Sexual immorality comes out of the heart. False testimony comes out of the heart. Slander comes out of the heart.
How can I say that? How do I know that?
Because the Bible says so. Please read Matthew 15:19. And remember also that the Lord Jesus Christ says that.
Someone has said: “No love in your heart is a real heart problem.”

My FIRST Christmas Card
My First Card for Christmas
Today I received my first card for Christmas.
On the card it does not only say, “It’s our way of saying a big thank you to our customers just for being with us,” but also, “Thanks again for being with us.”
When I read that I was reminded of the promise in the Bible, where the Lord Jesus Christ says in Matthew 28:19,20:
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
The Christmas card is from the Team at Telecom.

One of the greatest tragedies in the life of the Church today is the way in which so many are content with those vague, general, useless statements about war and peace instead of preaching the gospel in all its simplicity and purity.
