At the Hairdresser’s Establishment (My Pulpit is the World)
Posted by werner in My Pulpit is the World on February 17, 2009
Many men and women are already in the salon waiting, waiting, waiting…. Another elderly man is entering the salon slowly, occupying the empty seat beside me and straight away we are starting to talk. We have never met before.
In the course of our interesting conversation we are also talking about spiritual things and I am also asking him, “Are you interested in computers?” “No”, is the answer.
At the end of our pleasant conversation I must sadly admit that he is more interested in computers than in spiritual things. But that is probably my fault.
I know his address and I will send him one of the leaflets I have written. The leaflet explains how to come as a sinner to the Lord Jesus Christ. The title is ‘At the end of the day’ from the series LESSONS FROM DAILY LIVING.

James 3:4
“Or take ships as an example. Althoug they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.”
James 3:5
“Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.”

Ecclesiastes 4:4 (easy to remember)
“And I saw that all labour and all achievement spring from man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after wind.”
Examining the Scriptures
Posted by werner in Uncategorized on February 15, 2009
Only by examining the Bible can we find out if what we hear and sing is according to the Scriptures.
The Bereans did just that: Acts 17:11
“… and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.”
I like the word “searching” better!
I just read the Bible!

In Second Chronicles 20:12 Jehoshaphat is praying:
“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you.”
Is that not also our prayer?

The Good Shepherd

John 10:11
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
John 10:14
I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me -
Do you know the shepherd?
Does the shepherd know you?
Psalm 23:1-6
The Lord is my shepherd,…………....
“HELL” – - “GOD” (The Victorian Bushfires)
Posted by werner in Uncategorized on February 9, 2009
We are used to find the words hell and God in the Bible. (But let me say here straight away, that we don’t hear much about what the Bible teaches about hell from the pulpits).
That’s why I was surprised today to find the word “hell” at least twice on the front page of The New Zealand Herald and the word “God” at least once.
The headline: “HELL ON EARTH.”
“Hell in all its fury has visited the good people of Victoria in the last 24 hours.” – Prime Minister Kevin Rudd
“All those who have made it into the town will be fine. The others will be sheltering and working on their fire plans, God help them.” – Peter Mitchell, a resident of the town of Kinglake

Find out for yourselve what the Bible teaches on the subject of hell. Here is one verse: Mark 9:43
“Wir wuerden alle laufen, um matte Scheiben einzukaufen.”

Nur was in der Ueberschrift geschrieben ist, habe ich behalten. Aber wie gross war meine Freude, als ich den ganzen Vers in einem Andachtsbuch von Wilhelm Busch fand. Hier ist er:
“Wenn jeder haett’ an seiner Stirn/ von Glas ein Fensterlein/ dahinter die Gedanken schwirr’n/ dass man koennt seh’n hinein:/ was gaeb’ das fuer ein wildes Laufen/ um matte Scheiben einzukaufen.”
Psalm 94:11
DER HERR WEISS DIE GEDANKEN DER MENSCHEN.
