“A MOBILE FOR EVERYONE”
“A mobile for everyone” I am reading in the November 09 vodafone catalogue. On the frontcover it says also: “Amazing gift ideas for everyone.”
A BIBLE FOR EVERYONE!
That is on my heart. I don’t know what is on your heart.
The Wycliffe Bible Translators NZ working towards that GOAL!
What is the purpose of Wycliffe?
“TO SEE THE SCRIPTURES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TO ALL PEOPLES IN THE LANGUAGE THEY KNOW BEST.”
“WHEN EVERY PEOPLE GROUP IN THE WORLD ARE WORSHIPPING THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HAVE ACCESS TO THE BIBLE IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE OUR REASON FOR EXISTENCE WILL CEASE.”

What a joy to hear Busker No 12 sing GOSPEL HYMNS. I listened for quite some time and eventually talked to the people who came with the Busker.
Acts 1:8
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in:
– Jerusalem, = Kaitaia and
– in all Judea and
– Samaria, and
– to the ends of the earth.”
The Four – Wheeled Companion!
Posted by Werner Dekarski in Diary on November 25, 2009
“A guy knows he’s in love when he loses interest in his car for a couple of days.” (Coffee News 9.11. 09)
I actually begin to believe that. One of these days I am going to count all the workshops here in Kaitaia which have to do with cars. There are many, believe me!
There is that article in the local paper today called: “MOTORISTS TALK TO CARS.”
In the article it says:
“A study of British motorists reveals that 23 percent of owners actually talk to their cars, while 20 percent give their motors a pet name.
More than two million drivers have a picture of the car on their mobile phone, and one and a half million are proud to either display a picture of their four – wheeled companion in their wallet or as a computer screen saver.”
A lot is said about the four – wheeled companion. The picture of the companion is on the mobile phone. The owners are proud to display a picture of the companion in the wallet or as a computer screen saver.
Here is actually a challenge for me. I have also a companion, a companion with 66 books. That is my Bible!
The dictionary says that a companion is a guidebook or handbook. The Bible, the Word of the Living God is my guidebook.
It is not only a guidebook for me, but for my neighbours as well.
Do I always have a copy with me? I should actually carry a Bible with me wherever I go.
I remember once meeting with a young man. He was special in every way! He had his Bible with him and put it on the table beside him while he was eating. I think he even read to me from that Bible.
On another occasion I should have had a Bible on me. One man wanted to know some verses in the Bible mentioning hell, like Matthew 5:22; Matthew 5:29,30; Matthew 10:28; Matthew 18:9; Matthew 23:15 and Matthew 23:33!
He is Talking to His car! She is Talking to Her Car!
Listen, to what I read today in one of our local papers, “MOTORISTS TALK TO CARS.”
“A study of British motorists reveals that 23 percent of owners actually talk to their cars, while 20 percent give their motors a pet name.”
I am not talking to my car or my motorbike; I am talking to my God!
Psalm 18:2 “The Lord is my rock,…”
Psalm 18:28 “…; my God turns my darkness into light.”
Psalm 18:46 “Praise be to my rock!”
Psalm 27:9 “.., O God my Saviour.”
Psalm 31:14 “But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, ‘Your are my God.’ ”
There are of course more verses!
Who are you talking to?
Google is your best Friend!
Somebody said to me once Google is your best friend.
My best friend is the Bible, the Word of the Living God!
Deuteronomy 29:29 Easy to remember!
“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.”

Meine Kanzel ist die Welt

DEUTSCHE IN NEUSEELAND:
Ich sass im Familienrestaurant und las die Zeitung, als ein Mann und eine Frau (junge Leute) kamen, und sich an einen Tisch auf der anderen Seite niederliessen. Als sie sozusagen mit dem Essen fertig waren, sprach ich sie an, und ging zu ihrem Tisch und blieb dort stehen.
Mein Anliegen war es natuerlich, Ihnen vom Herrn Jesus zu sagen, ein Zeugnis zu sein. Ich sagte alles, was der Herr mir aufs Herz legte und sie hoerten gerne zu. Dafuer war ich natuerlich sehr dankbar.
Ich stand die ganze Zeit, waehrend sie sassen und das ganze sah so aus, als wenn ich eine Versammlung von zwei Leuten hatte – und das in einem Restaurant.
Warum macht es mir nun grosse Freude, davon zu berichten?
Gestern passierte genau das gleiche, nur meine Zuhoerer waren andere.

GIFTS
“THE BEST GIFTS COME WITH SMALL PRICE TAGS.”
I read that today.
The “best gift” is FREE!
Read what the apostle Paul says:
Romans 5:15,16 Authorized Version (King James Bible)
Romans 5:18 King James Bible
“Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.”
