“Be the change you wish to see in the world” GANDHI
The Bible says: Second Corinthians 5:17
From a newsletter: ” This has been an interesting year for me working in the prisons. If only you were able to come and see some of our many friends, I am sure you would see a different picture to what the media would print. It has been my privilege, ………………………., to be able to go into the units and sit with the men and share with them the story of Jesus and to see the CHANGE IN THEIR LIVES!”
All my fountains are in you.–Psalm 87:7–LAST VERSE!
I remember hearing once that a servant of the Lord became the ‘MAN OF ONE BOOK’, the Bible. If I remember correctly it was a missionary on a boat to the mission field, who threw all other books over board and kept only the WORD OF GOD.
What a summary of his reading material. And in Psalm 87:7 we find another summary: ALL MY FOUNTAINS ARE IN YOU.
When I meditated on that verse I asked myself: “HAVE I LEARNED THAT?” All my fountains are in you! -One attribute of God came to my mind. Only God is self existent. We are dependent beings. And I say it again, as I have said before, we are not even sure of our next breath. Only the LORD knows. That really helps me to learn the Lesson: “FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.”– Ecclesiastes 12:13–(ALL MY FOUNTAINS (Springs) ARE IN YOU!)
DO YOU GET THE POINT?

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a big mammel, its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was impossible.
The little girl said,” When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.” The teacher asked,”What if Jonah went to hell?”. The girl replied,” Then you can ask him.”
Matthew 12:40
Is this brainwashing?
‘THE MORE YOU BUY THE MORE YOU SAVE’ I saw advertised while window shopping. The Warehouse announces in the newspaper: ‘THE SAVINGS MULTIPLY WHEN YOU MULTIBUY!’ And it carries on like this: Buy 2 get the 3rd FREE on all TOYS* 2 Days Only! Stock up for Christmas!/ Buy 2 get the 3rd FREE! on all Christmas Themed Products*. etc.
That sounds really good! But is it the TRUTH? May be it is halftruth? And half the truth is a complete error? Or not?
It is the same when it comes to spiritual things. Some things sound really good, but they are halftruths. And half the truth is a complete error!
BEWARE!!
What does the BIBLE say?
But as I have said before make some comments and correct me.
