“Each of us is given a pocketful of time to spend however we may. We use what we will. We waste what we will. But we can never get back a day. – Roger Wilcox in New Era
“Life in a muddle?” and “Is your house secure?” are the questions I want to answer.
That are only two of the many questions advertisers are asking in the publication called COFFEE NEWS. I am looking at Vol 145:3 for PAPATOETOE MANGERE, which I picked up in OTAHUHU.
OTAHUHU, AUCKLAND / NEW ZEALAND
QUESTION:
“Is your house secure?” asks the advertiser. “NO?… Call us now.”

QUESTION:
“Life in a muddle?” asks the advertiser. “Can’t find a way through?”
ANSWER:
“FOR NO ONE CAN LAY ANY FOUNDATION OTHER THAN THE ONE ALREADY LAID WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST.” – First Corinthians 3:11
“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. WHOEVER FOLLOWS ME WILL NEVER WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT WILL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE.'” – John 8:12

Not long ago parliament voted 77-44 to legalise same-sex marriage here in New Zealand.
Mother’s Day is on Sunday 12th May this year. In the US and in Canada Mother’s Day is observed as a day in honor of mothers. (In Australia and here in New Zealand mothers traditionally receive gifts from their kids.)
MOTHER’S DAY
In the Bible we are also reading about honoring mothers. In the second book of the Bible, in Exodus, we are finding the Ten Commandments in chapter twenty. And in Exodus 20:12 it says this in THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE:
“REGARD (TREAT WITH HONOR, DUE OBEDIENCE AND COURTESY) YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER, THAT YOUR DAYS MAY BE LONG IN THE LAND THE LORD YOUR GOD GIVES YOU.”
A Christian home consists of a God-honoring Father, God-honoring Mother and God-honoring children.
The FAMILY is a gift of God.
A nation which honors the Family will live long in the land. A nation which keeps the family holy has continued existence.
A nation which destroys the family will not live long in the land. A nation which does not keep the family holy is doomed.
The FAMILY – a gift of God. No wonder, the devil is all out to destroy it!
“Our ‘vastly improved methods of communication’ of which the shortsighted boasts so loudly now enable a few men in strategic centers to feed into millions of minds alien thought stuff, ready-made and predigested.” – A. W. Tozer
