…ARE WILD WAVES OF THE SEA, FOAMING UP THEIR SHAME;….”

Jude 13

“BE SEEN IN THE CROWD”

I like that!

“BE SEEN IN THE CROWD…… as a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ!

The Bible, the Word of the Living God says: Philippians 2:15

“.., so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe….”

“THESE MEN…”

Jude 12-13

Intr.:

“These men are

1. blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm-

2. shepherds who feed only themselves.

3. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind;

4. autumn trees, without fruit and  uprooted – twice dead.

5. They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame;

6. wandering stars, for whom the blackest darkness has been reserved forever.”

End:

“THE SEED THAT IS NURTURED WILL FLOURISH. UNNURTURED SEEDS FAIL TO FLOURISH”

That was written on the poster I saw today.

In Luke 8:11 the Bible says, “‘This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.'”

In First Corinthians 3:6 the apostle Paul says, “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.”

“WALK THE TALK” is the slogan one candidate standing for the Local Elections 2010 has chosen. I saw the poster today.

What a message for all of us: “WALK THE TALK!”

In Romans 2:17-29 the apostle Paul is asking a number of questions:

1. “you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? Romans 2:21

2. “You who preach against stealing, do you steal? Romans 2:21

3. “You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? Romans 2:22

“It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final.” – Roger Babson

On the envelope I read, “Voting Document enclosed.” Among the contents of the letter is also a little booklet with instructions & candidate information. The candidates standing for election are listed under the elections they are standing for. On page five of the booklet it says, “You can read what the candidates have written about themselves and their policies in this booklet.” (Pictures of the candidates are also included.)

Let us say, you are one of the candidates, and you are a true follower of the Lord Jesus  Christ. Would you have told people that in the booklet?

“We love feeding young minds.” That’s how the pamphlet begins and you can find it at Subway.

What a headline! Of course, I am very interested!

It’s all about “Introducing The Subway School Lunch Programme.” Inside the flier it says, “A nourishing lunch keeps a child’s mind ready to learn all afternoon.”

I also love feeding young minds. But I also love feeding old minds. I love feeding young and old minds with the WORD OF THE LIVING GOD.

Listen to what it says in Deuteronomy 6:6-9:

“These commandments that I give you today

— are to be upon your heart.

–Impress them on your children.

–Talk about them….”

Keep on reading! That is in fact again another really good sermon outline.

I love  feeding young minds with the Word of God. And I love the people who love feeding young minds with the Word of God. George and Bessie King come to my mind. They loved feeding young minds with the Word of God in the schools around Kaitaia. Both are with the Lord now. I remember going with George to teach the Bible in Waiharara, Pukenui, Ngataki and Te Kao. He called it the Northern trip and we went every Wednesday to all four schools. Up north lived a Maori lady called Mary. At her place we ate our lunch. She provided us with drinks.
