“FAITH is the telegraphic wire which links earth to heaven -

on which God’s messages of love fly so fast that,

before we call, He answers and

while we are yet speaking, he hears us.”

I leave it to you to answer the above question!

Learned just now that the director of the UMM – United Maori Mission – will be coming to speak at a Men’s Breakfast at Virtue Christian Centre  in  the near future. Hope to find out when. We used to be with the UMM in  Kaikohe for almost 25 years.

He is planning to be in:

Kaikohe 7th -10th April 2010

Kaitaia 11th -13th April 2010

“The kind of evangelicalism which concentrates exclusively on saving individual souls is not true evangelicalism. It is not evangelical because it is not biblical.

It forgets that God did not create souls but body-souls called human beings, who are also social beings, and that he cares about their bodies and their society as well as about their relationship with himself and their eternal destiny.

So true Christian love will care for people as people, and will seek to serve them, neglecting neither the soul for the body nor the body for the soul.”

John Stott
