keywords: description: Afterthought...Monday, April 14, 2014 Useless!Unless the Lord builds a house, thework of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding itwith sentries will do no good. It is useless for you to work so hard from earlymorning till late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God givesrest to His loved ones. Psalm 127:1-2 (NLT)
Have you everworked a whole day or even longer - to find that all your work wasunnecessary or no longer needed? That building permit; that job for a customer;that tidy home How did you feel? Frustrated? Even angry?
The Latinmotto Nisi Dominus Frusta is basedon this psalm, Without the Lord, Frustration. Wanganuis own motto, Sans Dieu Rien Without God, Nothing iseven more accurate. What is yourlifes motto? Are you trying to live your life without God?
Just workingharder and harder will not give meaning to your life! You will only eat the bread of anxious toil Bring onthe stomach ulcers, the tension headaches, the handfuls of pills. Yes, you may evenget more toys in the short run but even the one with the most toys dies in theend. Then what? Listen to Gods wisdom and allow Him to give your life meaningand eternal purpose.
WithoutGod, nothing? Or With God,everything?
Dont come to the end of your life and realizeyouve wasted it because God was not the builder of your lifeNo comments: Reaching for Jewels...And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your ownsoul? Is anything worth more than your soul? (Matthew 16:26)
Excavations in Pompeii have revealed the petrified body of a woman with both hands full of jewels. The victim had been overwhelmed by ashes during her flight just outside the city. The Sydney Morning Herald (Sat 24 Dec 1910)
Previous issueSaturday 24 December 1910
Its easy to get caught up with the transitory jewelsin life at the cost of those things which are of critical importance. We have to have certain things; we have to impress certain people and welose sight of that which continues when those have to have things fade away
What will happen to you the moment your heart stopsbeating and all your gathered goods lie useless around you or clutched in yourhands? Your soul will continue to live. Have you made provision for that eternity?Is anything worth more than your soul?
Jesus said, I amthe resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in Me will live, even afterdying. Everyone who lives in Me and believes in Me will never ever die(John 11:26)
This truth is the only jewel worth holding on to but it needs tobecome a reality for you before you can have it. Believe in Jesus and live!No comments: You can run but you can't hide...Watching thedeveloping saga of the Oscar Pistorius trial and seeing Oscars struggle tokeep the verdict of Guilty from being hung around his neck brings to mindthe court scene that will play out with every single one of us when time as weknow it, comes to an end.
The ApostleJohn records this future event in great detail, I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before Gods throne.And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judgedaccording to what they had done, as recorded in the books. (Revelation20:12)
There willbe no place to hide on that day because the Judge will be able to read yourthoughts and your heart. Every action ever made by you will be examinedeverythought scrutinised. How does one keepanything from an all-knowing Judge?
There willonly be one Defence Attorney able to successfully keep the Guilty verdictfrom being put around your neck and that is Jesus Christ. If you have askedHim to control your life, He will get an Innocent verdict proclaimed over youbecause the Judge accepts His evidence on your behalf as the Truth.
Until then,you can run living your life, following your dreams and ambitions but can youdare to do so while not under His protection?You can only have your name written into His client list, the Book ofLife, while you are alive After that no hiding place!
Godsent His Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the worldthrough Him(John 3:17)No comments: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 Charities Commission NZ in 'Upside Down Land'Open Letter to Charities Commission, New Zealand
Do you live in the same society we do? Your decision to deregister 'Family First New Zealand' as a charity blows the mind. It is seemingly ok to keep gamblingand lottery organisations on your books but not an organisation which fights for family rights and values? Which one has the greater good of the community at heart? Your decision makersneed to stand in front of the mirrorand squarely face what you are doing to our society. Come out of 'Upside Down Land' where bad is good and good is bad. The same society which employs you needs your support, not your undercutting of organisationswhich do good in our communities. Start by looking up 'Charity' in your dictionary ... it may bring you back to reality!No comments: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 Liquorice Allsorts Living...
I loveLiquorice Allsorts especially the ones with triple layers of liquorice! Theyget chosen first, above all others! The rest are ok. Are they good for me orpart of the essential food group? No but I love them anyway!
Many peoplehave this consumer attitude to life in what they choose or dont choose to do.They choose to do just the things they like not what is essential for theirhealth or continued existence. This is very evident when it comes to believingin God or rejecting God. Hes just one of the choices out there, right?Wrong! God is the essential food group you need, to come out of this lifeintact. In Jesus is Life life that will last past the time you cease tobreathe on this earth. Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life; he whobelieves in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believesin Me will never die (John 11:25-26)
There is achoice to be made and that choice has consequences, like any other decisionin life. Choosing just the triple-layer-liquorice activities now, may meanmissing out on the whole packet later!
God blesses those who realize theirneed for Him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them (Matthew 5:3)
A woodenchopping board, an open fire, a concave roasting pan, two large knives, akettle, a wooden mortar and a pestle (short axle from a Land Rover) forpreparing coffee beans. Thats it! A fully equipped kitchen in a village inEthiopia, Africa
My hostseemed very happy with her life. She even took in orphan girls and taught themhow to fend for themselves and then to serve the community around them, intheir turn. She introduced me to successful graduates from her home who werenow emulating her example. What an inspiration! From political activist andoutright rebel to a living foundation of her community and all because of JesusChrist. Through a travelling evangelist, she realized how far away she was fromGod and yet Jesus had paid the ultimate price for her guilty life. She hadfound true happiness and a purpose for her life!
Jesus - I am the Light of the world; he whofollows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life (John8:12)
Theflashlight app on my cell phone came in very handy recently while on aprolonged stay in a small Ethiopian village called Waka. It seemed likeeveryone in the village had a cell phone with a light which became evident atnight, when we all stumbled around along the unlit, rocky main road - smallbeams of light dancing everywhere
One night,my phone battery died on me along with its light. What a difference it madeto my walk long steps, short steps, ghost steps, stumbling over rocks ankletwisting territory! How I missed my light
Life is likethat road rocky in places, smooth in others but we have to walk along it.Without Jesus Christ, we choose to stumble through the rocky bits as best wecan and it affects our walk. We trip over continually and sometimes even fall hurting ourselves in the process. Yet, Jesus has promised to be our Light to help us to get through those same rocky places but with a much morecontrolled walk as His light takes away the darkness. Now there is hope as Heassists us and guides us over the rough patches, and strengthens us while onthe smooth patches. Whats more, He gifts us permanent built-in light as Hecomes to stay inside us.
