Camberwell

a Biblical thought...
O house of David, this is what the LORD says: Administer justice every morning; rescue from the hand of his oppressor the one who has been robbed, or my wrath will break out and burn like fire because of the evil you have done—burn with no one to quench it. (Jeremiah 21:12)

a Book thought...
If the fountain spring is pure, the flowing waters of daily life and action will be pure also. (p30)
a Dave thought...
Last night Kylie & myself visited Camberwell Salvos to witness the enrollment of Joel McCoy as a senior soldier. It was fitting that his grandad Comm Doug Davis (R) conducted the ceremony as his auntie Susie Knop (PTG) many years ago enrolled Joel as a Junior Soldier. Major Brian Pratt (CO) preached on John 6 the passage about the five loaves and two fishes. He spoke powerfully about a God who can do the impossible. When God tests us it is not to grade us. The answers to the biggest questions are worked out relationally with God. Little in the hands of Jesus becomes much. In this passage Andrew looks at the problem, while Philip prompts us to ask what have I decided that is too big for God to accomplish? Ultimately we must remember when we give what we have to Jesus it is more than enough.

Just a thought.

A great word, Dave - thankyou. The 5 loaves and 3 fish seem even smaller over here... but God is great and miracles still happen. This I pray with all my heart.
