Catholic priests find the truth
I received today 2 books with testimonies how catholic priests came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour.
There are some email addresses and may be those priests know a way how to reach the pope with the Good News.
So far I have read 1 of the 50 testimonies and what sticks out is that you have to earn your Salvation. It is not by grace. Ephesians 2:8,9
God’s Undertaker
Has Science buried God?
That is the title of a book by John C. Lennox. Unfortunately I cannot get it through the local library, because it does not seem to be in any library in NZ. I would like to read it-but it is about $30,00, I think. Saw it at Paper Plus.
And I hope I do understand the title alright.
But I ask myself: How can the creation bury the Creator? And this is also from memory: A godly scientist said once that we only know a small sliver of everything. But one day we will know more and more and probably find out that SCIENCE agrees with the Bible!

Sorry, but the FUTURE again:
1. Launch your future–courses for adults. On a leaflet from The Correspondence School (Te Kura-a-Tuhi)
2. On the back of a car: Our vision / our whanau / our future
One of these days I must systematize all the material I have collected about the FUTURE!

Do you know what it means to have a bad conscience?
Alfred Nobel had a bad conscience after inventing dynamite. That’s how the Nobel prizes started.
Heard today that people do other things as well to find help for a bad conscience. But I am not going into details.
I have a magnetic sticker here for the refrigerator door and it says:” Live every day as if it’s your last; enjoy the moment forget the past.”
But what, if you cannot forget the PAST?
But where do we really find help for our bad conscience?– First John 1:9
Succeeding Today, Shaping Tomorrow
I read this today in a News Letter: Multiskill is changing it’s name- so from 1 October 2007 we’ll be
‘Kiwidotcom- Succeeding Today, Shaping Tomorrow’
When I read that I was reminded again of what the Bible, the Word of the Living God says about our TODAY and TOMORROW: James 4:13-17. Please click on James 4:13-17 and you can read the verses in four (4) different translations.

Throw your stones far enough!
Today I picked up a leaflet which said:
Parents!
Prepare for your FUTURE
I think we all need to prepare for our FUTURE
Hebrews 9:27 says: “Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,…
The Future again (13. 10. 07)
— Just remembered that the Horoscope also has to do with the future.
— From the local Optometrists: How well you’ll see in the future depends on the lenses you wear today.
— From the business course First Steps to Business (FSB): “The best way to predict your future is to create it”-Erich Fromm.
THE ONLY WAY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IS TO READ THE BIBLE, THE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD!

ABOUT LOVE
An advertisement – in the paper called COFFEE NEWS- starts:” To people who want to love– and be loved.” Do you want to love somebody? Do you want to be loved?
The author Jim Rohn says in one of his books:” And one of the most important ingredients of a balanced life is having someone to love and love you.” Do you love someone? Does someone love you? And I think we all want to have a balanced life, don’t we?
Yes, there is someone who loves you for sure. The Lord Jesus Christ! John 3:16 And the Lord Jesus Christ wants to be loved by you. I know that the Lord Jesus Christ loves me. And I also love the Lord Jesus Christ.
But I am also glad that I have a wife who loves me and that I love my wife. We had our wedding quite a good number of years ago.
