“‘WHAT IS TRUTH?’ Pilate asked.”

The families lived in different parts of the world and planned a family reunion in New Zealand during the Rugby World Cup to watch the games at the same time. One year ago they bought the tickets worth $6000 for the games.

When arriving here in New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup they were devastated when they were told that the tickets they bought one year ago were fake tickets. All the time they believed that the tickets were correct ones.

When I heard that today over the radio it came to me again that we must believe the right people in order to get to certain places.

Heaven is a place! Do you want to go there?

In order to go to heaven you must believe in the Lord Jesus!

Acts 16:31 “They replied, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved – you and your household.'”

What is YOUR Top Book?

“In touch with nature.”

“Hot Property.” “When location counts.” “So nice, so convenient.” “You little beauty.” “In touch with nature.”

That’s how property in REAL ESTATE magazines is advertised.

“IN TOUCH WITH NATURE.” That is my favourite caption.

Let us go further and let us get in touch with God, who created nature.

What do the heavens declare? What do the skies proclaim? The BIBLE says that the heavens declare the glory of God and that the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

In Psalm 97:6 we read: “The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.”

And this is the testimony of God:

— It is the kindness of God that it is raining.

— It is the kindness of God that we have crops.

— God gives us all the food we need.

— God also fills our hearts with joy.

Are you in touch with God?
