Today – 24. 11. 08 – I spotted four Germans in town and when I got talking to one of them about spiritual things his face lit up (a big smile) and then I knew that he was a ‘real Christian’, born from above. What a joy to meet him!

Forgot to give him my name – card. Had it actually on me.

I talked to more people today, but I don’t want to record everything!

People really think that listening is more important than speaking.

This is what I came across today in a smaller publication:

“PEOPLE WHO SPEAK MORE THAN THEY LISTEN SHOULD CONSIDER HOW PECULIAR THEY WOULD LOOK IF THEY HAD TWO MOUTHS AND ONE EAR.”

THE BIBLE:

James 1:19

James 1:26

CAN YOU IDENTIFY WITH THAT?

THE CONTINUITY GETS ALL OF US AT TIMES AND WE NEED A BREAK, SO GOOD BYE…….!

Second Chronicles 16:9

“FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD RANGE THROUGHOUT THE EARTH TO STRENGTHEN THOSE WHOSE HEARTS ARE FULLY COMMTTTED TO HIM.”

First Corinthians 15:26

“THE LAST ENEMY TO BE DESTROYED IS DEATH.”

I talked to a German tourist today (He told me,” I have met you before here in NZ.”) and in the course of our conversation I mentioned the writing on the door: “CLOSED DUE TO BEREAVEMENT.”

We talked about a number of things – but it came to light that people have the idea that they have to EARN their SALVATION. I told him of course that Salvation is FREE. Not only the Catholics are thinking that Salvation can be earned, but the Protestants are also forgetting, that Martin Luther ‘discovered’ again the old biblical truth that justification is by FAITH alone.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” ( Ephesians 2:8,9)

The German tourist is a Protestant.
