AFFLICTION

Posted on by

About in the middle of Psalm 119 we are reading three times about affliction.  

The Psalmist speaks about affliction in the verses 67, 71 and 75.

1.  Psalm 119:67

“Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now  I obey your word.”

2.  Psalm 119:71

“It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.” Read also the next verse! 

3. Psalm 119:75

“I know, O LORD, that your laws are righteous, and in faithfulness you have afflicted  me.”

A “new home” and a “perfect home.”

A “NEW HOME” AND A “PERFECT HOME.”

On my way to the centre of our beautiful town KAITAIA I pass The National Bank. Through the window I can see a big poster inside the Bank. On the poster I am reading about a “new home” and a “perfect home.”

Whenever I read that I am reminded of my new and perfect home in heaven the BIBLE teaches about and the hymn writers write songs about.

What does the BIBLE teach about our new and perfect home in heaven?

First of all let me say that I like to talk a lot about heaven, because I am going there. If you are familiar with this  blog you know that already.

In Second Corinthians 5:1 we read that Heaven is not only a building, but that Heaven is a building of God. Hebrews 4:9 teaches that Heaven is called a place of rest.

Heaven is also called the Father’s House. John 14:2 “In my Father’s house are many rooms;……” The Lord Jesus Christ says that. He says also that he is “the life” and “the truth” and “the way” to his Father’s house.

I know the way to the Father’s house and I count it a privilege to tell others that the Lord Jesus Christ is THE WAY!

I have lots of opportunities to do so: 

Lately I met GREENPEACE people here in Kaitaia and talked to one man for quite some time. I was also given a RED FISH GUIDE. I am looking at the guide just now.

I think there are  a good number of Germans coming through Kaitaia and it is a joy for me to talk to them. (I am fluent in German!) I meet them usually in a well-known family restaurant with FREE WIFI here  in town. I also encourage them to write down my E-mail address and my website: www.wernerdekarski.net!

Please read the last book of the BIBLE, Revelation, and you find out that Heaven is a PERFECT PLACE.

Heaven is a place of perfect sinlessness. Let us also rejoice that Heaven is a place of  perfect satisfaction, perfect provision and PERFECT GOVERNMENT!

What do the hymn writers write about our new and perfect home in heaven?

HEAVEN is the topic of many hymns.

I like the hymn WHEN THE TRUMPET OF THE LORD SHALL SOUND by James M. Black.  Do you know the hymn FACE TO FACE WITH CHRIST MY SAVIOUR? (Carrie E.  Breck)

COME ALONG WITH ME TO MY FATHER’S HOUSE, is another beautiful hymn about heaven.

And yes, “Come along with me to my Father’s house, Where there’s joy, joy, joy!

“In the remote parts of the countryside old people still say of those who die, They have gone home.” –Earl Baldwin (Good in Everything by H. L. GEE)

“In a quiet churchyard in Sussex is a simple grave which bears this lovely inscription : Gone home with a Friend.” – Rev. William J. May (Good in Everything by H. L. Gee)

DO YOU HAVE LIFE IN YOUR YEARS?

“And in the end

it’s not the years in your life that count.

It’s the life in your years.” –

Attributed to Abraham Lincoln

My story:

More than 18 years without life.

More than 50 years with life.

What happened?

I was almost eighteen years of age when I believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. What happens when one believes?

Many things are happening. One of them is that one receives ETERNAL LIFE. I am now in the possession of ETERNAL LIFE.

“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.” – John 10:28

“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” – First John 5:13

DO YOU HAVE LIFE IN YOUR YEARS?

“……, WE WANT A LONGER HEALTH SPAN.”

Posted on by

“…., WE WANT  A LONGER  HEALTH SPAN.”

“Although we humans have never been satisfied with the biblical allotment of threescore and ten, neither do we want to extend our life span only to pass the time in a decrepit state. NO, WE WANT A LONGER HEALTH SPAN.

“Might we be  on the trail of one? The cover story, ‘A New Path to Longevity,’ by David Stipp, descibes……”

That’s what the editor in chief  Mariette DiChristina is writing in Scientific American, January 2012.

Why are we not satisfied with the biblical life span of threescore and ten? Why are we looking for a longer health span? Why are we searching for a trail to a longer health span?

We are longing for fellowship with our creator. We are looking for life without end in  fellowship with God. We are longing for the true life. We want eternal life.

How can we attain the true eternal life?

1.  We attain the eternal life through the work of the Lord Jesus Christ.

a.  The death of Christ…

b. The resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ……..

c.  His ascension

d. The Second Coming of Christ…..

2.  We attain the eternal life through our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

What happens when we believe on the Lord?

Many things are happening when we believe, but here are a few of them:

a. We possess eternal life.

b.  Our names are recorded in heaven.

c.  The mansion of glory becomes ours.

d. We are indwelt by the Holy spirit.

In Ecclesiastes 3:11 we are told:

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from the beginning to end.”
