“The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,…” we were singing this morning in our church service. It is Sunday today!

It is part of the chorus of the song “Amazing Grace, My Chains Are Gone” which goes like this:

“The earth  shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun forbear to shine;

But God, who call’d me here below,

Will be forever mine,….”

‘SNOW’ rhymes with ‘BELOW’, but is it biblical?

Second Peter 3:7 comes to my mind:

“By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.”

Please let me know!

“Children are our greatest treasure.” –  “Young people are our most precious asset. Support programmes that support them by investing in their future.”

That’s what I read today on my walk in Kaitaia.

Children, (kids) young people and their future.

SUPPORT A PROGRAMME LIKE THIS (by praying for the children):

The hymn “I HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS,….” comes to my mind. It has four verses and here is the first verse:

“I have decided to follow Jesus,

I have decided to follow Jesus,

I have decided to follow Jesus;

NO TURNING BACK, NO TURNING BACK.”
