“The Best Use of Life…..”
Posted by Werner Dekarski in My Pulpit is the World, Personal Evangelism on November 23, 2009
“The best use of life is to invest it in something which will outlast life.”
William James
In John 4:36 we read,
“Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop FOR ETERNAL LIFE, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.”
“Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’ ” Matthew 9:37,38
I had two conversations today. In those two conversations I talked to people about my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
One conversation was with two Germans, a young man and a young woman. The young man has a brother who is studying to be a catholic priest.
If it has been revealed to you by God, the Father, that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah), the Son of the Living God, and if you know that you are planted by God, the Father, you “must” tell others about your FAITH!
Matthew 16:17; Matthew 15:13
“…..a truly heroic transformation…”

“When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self- preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.”
Joseph Campbell

“FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM.”
HE CALLED ME ‘PILGRIM’
Posted by Werner Dekarski in My Pulpit is the World, Personal Evangelism on November 22, 2009
Every Saturday the big car park in front of the Warehouse here in Kaitaia in the north of New Zealand turns into a busy marketplace and people come from all over the place to sell their merchandise.
According to Acts 1:8 where it says, “…; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem (Kaitaia), and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth,” I witnessed to somebody in the course of our conversation.
I have seen him since and last time I saw him he called me pilgrim. And I feel like a pilgrim! (Did I not tell that somebody else lately?) I told him so much. I said also, “I actually like to be called pilgrim. I am in fact a pilgrim. I said also to him, “You know quite a bit about what the Bible says. We must talk some more!”
I looked up the word ‘pilgrim’ in the concordance and here are some Bibleverses:
Genesis 47:9
In this verse you find the word pilgrimage twice.
Psalm 119:54
Read this verse in The Amplified Bible and you find the word pilgrimage.
Exodus 6:4
Aliens= pilgrims. I like aliens even better. But are we living as aliens? Or are we considering this our homeland?
Hebrews 11:13
aliens=pilgrims. It says here also that we are strangers! Are you feeling like a stranger on earth?
First Peter 2:11
aliens again=pilgrims. And strangers!
According to the dictionary a pilgrim is “a person who undertakes a journey to a sacred place.”

THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT
Matthew 22:34-40
Intr.:
” ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?’
*************
Jesus replied:
A. ‘ Love the Lord your God with
1. all your heart and with
2. all your soul and with
3. all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it:
B. ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’
***************
End:
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
