The Heidelberg Catechism - The Foundations Of Our Faith

The Secret of Serenity Atlee had a problem. His problem was his political opponent, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston Churchill. He had such a sharp wit.   Mr. Atllee is a modest man who has much to be modest about. He is a sheep in sheep's clothing. We have much to be modest about. Romans 7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. Rom 8:1.There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but acc...

ROMANS 8:37  IN ALL THESE THINGS WE OVERWHELMINGLY CONQUER What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died---more than that, who was raised---who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth,...

PATRICK  & MARIA  HENDERSON  (Nee: Morton)   Patrick  Heron Henderson born 30 July 1822 Kirkgunzeon Scotland,  arrived in Australia (age 26) in the capacity of 'Religious Instructor' on board the convict ship "Hashemy". A week later, Patrick (who was also a qualified "Civil Engineer") applied for a position with the Colonial Government. In this he was successful and his first appointment as Assistant Surveyor was on the 1st August, 1849. It is curious now to read how very little was known of this country  then , even the most fertile imagination fails to conjure up an adequate picture of life lived by the early settlers.   Of roads and fences there were none and separated by distance from all the advantages and privileges to which they were accustomed, these men were true pioneers who played a noble part in laying the foundations of future settlement.      John James Galloway (also an Assistant Surveyor) surveyed Warialda this s...

28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died---more than that, who was raised---who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us   The news this week has been dominated with the passing away of Olivia Newton-John. She once said:  Nature is the most beautiful thing we ...
