The secret things belong to the Lord our God; but the things revealed belong to us and to our children for ever, that we may follow all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29

If you have success, give the glory to God. But if you feel you have failed, don’t give up!

It was one of the coldest days this year. I think so anyway. But the sun was shining brightly on my monitorscreen and I had to pull the curtains in order to see properly. But before I did, I saw it–the screen and the whole monitor were covered with dust.

Why had I not noticed that before? The sun revealed the dirt.

It is the same with our lives. We think we are quite alright until–the Gospel reveals to us the real condition of our lives.  John 8:12!

Ich habe geweint, weil ich keine Schuhe hatte, bis ich einen traf, der keine Fuesse hatte.

G. Leopardi

I wept, because I did not have any shoes until I met someone who did not have any feet.

I am interested in computers:

Nothing could be farther from the truth I read that a deleted file is gone forever.

Also an email is living forever.

Now I understand better when the Lord Jesus Christ says in Matthew 12:36, ” But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.”

A couple of days ago I received an email with the following signature:

Whakapono ki a koe Believe in Yourself

The Bible, the Word of God says:”Believe in the Lord Jesus,”……. Acts 16:31 New Testament

The storm that hit Northland and Auckland has been described by Metservice’s Bob McDavitt as an ‘eggbeater’ phenomenon. This is caused by low pressure colliding with high pressure.

Two lows moved down the country close together . They squeezed against the high, blocking the lows’ movement. The resulting pressure gradient caused high winds. The unstable moist air mass of the lows released heavy rain on contact with the high.

Food for the Body and food for the Soul

Franchise NZ Vol. 7 Issue 2 Winter 1998 printed 8 MAC FACTS.

One of them says this: “One new McDonald’s opens somewhere in the world every six hours. ”

In the Christian Magazin WORLDWIDE July/August 07 I read the following: “According to our former international research director, P. Johnstone, WEC is the fourth-largest church -planting mission agency in the world. The last time we counted, a church was being started by WEC missionaries every four or five days , somewhere in the world.”

But food for the soul is more important than food for the body.
