Christmas miracle

Among other things, I work for the Swedish post office as a purchaser and just in front of me were I'm sitting the "lost and found has their office.

Rather many things is fallen out of letters and small packet's, and when people find keys and wallets out in the street, they put them on the mailboxes.

Then the "lost and found" take care of this keys and wallets and forward it to the police.

This specific morning my colleague told me that something rare happen. She got a wallet with a driving licence, an ID card etc in it, but what was unusual, it contained rather much money!
She tried to find the man, who was not a Swedish resident and by chance she got to speak to the mans wife! OH how glad she was that we found that wallet!

The man came by later on to pick up the wallet, but by then my colleague had gone for the day. I met him, a Romanian guy and told him the story.

He talked in English and when I told him that his ID card, his driving licence, his other cards and all his money still was in the wallet, he started to cry. He was SO glad.
Not only for the money but that he now don't have to go back to his home county and get all his papers in order.
He told me that he was beaten by a man at a bus stop and then his wallet fell out of his jacket. He spend many hours at the hospital stitches his eye brow!

I hugged him and and said: It is a miracle for you to get back your things this fast. Come back tomorrow and get your wallet and God bless you.

He looked at me and smiled.

Its is amazing, a true Christmas miracle moment.

God Bless you all....

Debate

A year ago I saw a debate on tv between one Christian British mathematician and philosopher of science named John Lennox and an evolutionary biologist named Richard Dawkins. The two seams to know each other very well and even if they sometimes really disagree on God's existanse they seem to have a rather good relationship. It is a bit pointless to have these debate since none of them want to change their oppinion no matter how wrong or right they might be. As a follower of Christ I support Mr Lennox but I have respects towards mr Dawkins. What stroke me the other day when my wife and I were at the bookstore was the many books written by Richard Dawkins where he really tries hard to convince us that there is no God. If you are absolutely confident that there is no God, why on earth do you have to write all these books!? If people don't believe there is God, why go so hard? You don't believe in Him yet you hate Him. Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There

Forgiven

Saul who later on changed his name to Paul was once a dangerous enemy to Christians. He did almost everything to hunt them down. Saul was a cruel man, responsible for the stoning of Stephen. In my view and in many others he deserved to be treated the same way, he deserved to die. But God had another plan for his life. God wanted him to serve as an example of grace (1 Timothy 1:13-16). Jesus reached out to Saul in a direct and startling way (Acts 9, 22, 26). Saul came to realise that the Gospel was true. He recognised the seriousness of his crimes against God On the road to Damascus Jesus revealed himself to Saul who was stunned and afraid but he did what Jesus told him to do. Blind for three days he waited. Imagine how terrified he must have been not be able to see. Not to be able to really understand what was going on. Once so feared but now so vulnerable A man named Ananias was sent by Jesus to lay hands on Saul and when he did so Saul did three specific things that

Task oriented!

I read a small article by Pastor John Ortberg from Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in California. He said that: "If you are a Pastor or a Church leader you have a calling far more important than you may know". Lots of Pastors or leaders are very "task" orientated. "The great danger in ministry is that we think about the task before us in ways that are too small!" Make budget, trying to fill up the church hall every Sunday, launching nice programs, Working hard to make the church and its vision so easy to understand and handle. We have a task all of us. Jesus said: " Go out in the entire world, go and make disciples. "Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you" Lets go out there....
