13th SINGLES FOR CHRIST EUROPEAN CONFERENCE
1 July 2011 to 3 July 2011
Haarlem, The Netherlands
Warm greetings of love and peace!
The Netherlands CFC-SFC is truly honoured to host this year’s 13th Singles for Christ European Conference.
This year’s conference celebrates our marching order, “Put on the Full Armor of God!” which drew inspiration from the passage in Ephesians 6:11 (NIV) "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."
On the occasion of its 15th anniversary, CFC Europe shall be holding its much-anticipated CFC Europe Megacon on 13-15 August 2010 in Vienna. All members of the family ministries are being encouraged to mark these dates in their calendars and make the necessary preparations to attend this very important event in the life of our community.
Further details of the conference shall be announced in due time.
In Genesis 24:16 we are told that Rebekah was " very beautiful to behold". But physical beauty was not the crucial point for Eliezer, the servant of Abraham, who was sent to find a wife for Isaac.
Eliezer's prayer gives us an important clue about the kind of beauty he sought for his master's son: "Let it be that the young woman to whom I say, Please let down your pitcher that I may drink, and she say's, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink'--let her be the one"
Not a day passes without a reminder that our earthly life can end at any moment. All we need to do is read the obituary column. One message comes through loud and clear: We're here today, but we may gone tomorrow! " What is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away" (James 4:14).
"We rejoice in sharing with you our theme for next year, 2010-- 'Fullness of Life in Christ.' This theme is based on Colossians 2:6-7: 'Since you have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, live in union with him. Keep your roots deep in him, build your lives on him, and become strongerin your faith, as you were taught. And be filled with thanksgiving.' (Good News Bible version)," says the International Council (IC) of Couples for Christ through its Chairman.
The Earth is surrounded by windows. We call these windows the atmosphere, a layer of air many miles up in the sky. As the sun shines on the Earth, the atmosphere lets the heat reach the ground, then prevents some of it from escaping back into space. That's all fine. In fact, we need the atmosphere. Without it, the Earth would be as cold and lifeless as the surface of the moon. The problem is that our atmosphere is changing. Some of our favorite activities create gases that pollute the atmosphere. As those gases build up, the atmosphere keeps in too much heat.
What are Greenhouse Gases?
If you say I LOVE YOU while you hate your brother or sister, you are a liar. How can you love God whom you do not see if you don't love your brother whom you see? We received from His commandment: let those who love God also love their brothers. 1 John 4:20-21.
