David's Notes

Greetings, 

"God loves us at least as much as the person who loves us the most"  is a quote from a book entitled Good Goats - Healing our Image of God by Dennis, Sheila & Matthew Linn. 

Take some time over it because it has the incredible power of healing our deepest fears of God's judgement and challenges our worst images of God.  

Shalom, 

David 

Quilt

QUILT FOR SALE

 

The Midlands Quilters Guild meet once a month in our hall. They have kindly given the church a superb quilt to sell in order to install another blind on the verandah.

 

See the picture:

 

This quilt  reflects superb skill and creativity in its design and execution. The retail price of such a work is R3000.

 

We are offering it first to our congregation to put in an offer of R3000 or more. The quilt will go to the highest bidder. Email Bill Houston on billhouston@sai.co.za with your offer or phone him on 033 3434951.

 

Everyone will win – someone will get a wonderful quilt in time for the winter cold and the church will get another blind!

Greetings, 

Head deep in his study of theology  Robert Marsh had a question that continually plagued him - "how would I do this if I believed God was real?"  He realised God can easily become an abstract concept, a set of values we try to live by or the projection of our wishful imagination.  By 'real' he means a God who is present, interested, involved and wishes to interact with us.  What are you about to do in the next hour? Have you considered that God may be interested in what you are planning to do?

Greetings, 

In Trevor Hudson's latest book "Friendship with God - how God's offer of intimate relationship can change your life" he quotes William Barry who was wanting to distinguish between real faith and pseudo faith. 

He quotes Barry, '"Fear not, trust in God and He will see that none of the things you fear will happen to you"; that of real religion, on the contrary, is "Fear not; the things you are afraid of are quite likely to happen to you, but they are nothing to be afraid of."' In all the changes of our lives we are tempted to ask God to deliver us from all that we fear instead of asking God to guide us as we confront the Goliaths in front of us.  

Grace, 

David
