The weekend’s not over yet and yet there’s a few of us who are really tired. Andre’ Kempen has been with us again and we have had a great time. Funny thing is, it has made us understand that no matter how ‘religious’ a community, how little time there is to spare for God.
Someone commented how many people made sure they walked onto the other side of the street, rather than come close to where Andre’ was playing. Another person said they were amazed how many people simply refused to accept a leaflet/invite.
The message of the gospel is not complicated and there are time when for some people it is too simple. It is the message of the creator God loving His creation so much, He sent His only Son Jesus He made a way for sinful mankind, to come back to God, by paying the penalty of sin on our behalf.
Our world seems to be a place where so many have no time for God, yet the Bible is clear that we need God. Cross the road, ignore or even shout down the messenger, yet the time will come when we stand before God. There can be no crossing the road then!

Wow, what a weekend!
