“Die Sorgenfabrik unseres Herzens kann Konkurs anmelden! Wann? Wenn es uns gelingt, alle Sorgen auf Jesus zu werfen.” – Paul Deitenbeck

Our lounge or sitting room is carpeted. Near the ranchslider windows are some flower pots and also a sheepskin is lying there on the floor on top of the carpet.

The sheepskin is there for a special reason, namely to cover up something. When we bought this place some time ago we discovered  a hole in the carpet. Something happened there what should not have happened.

But it is never a good idea to cover up something!

David in the Bible experienced that it was not a good idea to cover up his sin (iniquity, transgressons).

He had a terrible time, when he kept silent. He groaned all day long and his bones wasted away. Day and night the hand of the Lord was heavy upon him. It was summer time in his life because his strength was sapped.

But eventually he acknowledged his sin to the Lord. And he did not cover up his iniquity any longer. He confessed his transgressions to the Lord.

And what happened? The Lord forgave his sin. Praise the Lord!

“SPEAK UP AGAINST ABUSE”

Thursday 27th August

“Our Issues, our Solutions”

The first in a series of discussions designed to address violence and abuse in our community.”

The activities started at 10.30am with a march along the Main Street of KAITAIA beginning at KFC and ending at the Community Centre, where the meetings were held until 3.00pm.

This afternoon somebody who saw me at the meeting “The ‘Keeping us Safe’  Morning Tea” this morning stopped me to talk. I found out that it was the mother of the coordinater of the event.

“Did you enjoy the meeting?” I was asked. Of course, I enjoyed the presentations of the different guest speakers from Fire Safety, Age Concern, Arthritis New Zealand and CPTED. (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design)

I told the lady who stopped me, that  I was especially  interested in the  subject of Crime Prevention (I asked for the notes of the  Lecture) and  I also explained to her why: We used to work with the United Maori Mission in Kaikohe preaching the Gospel. Preaching the Gospel to people is the best Crime Prevention. We have to come back to a living relationship with our Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Fear of God.
