Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. Ecclesiastes 12, 13 & 14

Thoughts

When man has spoilt everything and consequently lost everything the Lord uses this disaster to reveal his own resources.

Selfishness and looking for everything which can preserve our small personal successes have a big importance in our life. What a contrast to the life of Jesus. Jesus never did anything for himself!

A small or big sin is added to your problems, it lessens your energy and multiplies your difficulties.

In this world Christians should be people who show that they have found the secret of success. Christ is enough for them; not a talk, but a behaviour.

If my thoughts are filled with concerns for the world, I will have the footprint of the world; if I keep trotting out my problems, my spirit will be full of these problems; if I think of my insufficiencies, I will be overwhelmed by them; if I think of Jesus, I will be like him.

Religions are roads which are used by men to search God. There are several religions. Christianity is the way by which God finds man. This is a unique way.
