The advertising in The Weekend Sun was very very good and I am extremely pleased with all the calls I have had since placing the ads. I will continue to advertise with such a great response.
The Classified Section works like a directory. If you have a regular appearance in the Classified Section, people know where to look for your services when they need them. The Weekend Sun has a very popular Classified Section that is constantly building, and becoming a vital advertising tool. Another benefit to advertising in the Classifieds, is that we can always find something that will cater to suit your advertising needs and budget.
We can also fit Classified Advertisements in right up until the very last minute of going to print, which means if you have something urgent, you can usually count on the Classified Section to get it into the paper. Colour advertising is also very affordable in the Classified Section. It costs just $25 +gst extra to add colour to your advert – a fantastic investment to increase the profile of your advert.

The Weekend Sun
God’s Word – the measure of truth The apostle Paul writes in Romans 15:5-6 about God’s people living in such harmony with one another “that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ”.
Today we have many voices claiming to be the voice of the Church and claiming to be the Christian voice. The reality is that not everyone in Christendom (the term covering everyone who claims to be Christian), is Christian and not every person claiming to speak on behalf of the Church, is a Christian. Jesus says in Matthew 7:21-23 that “not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven”. For there to be so many confusing voices and so many contradictory positions on matters of life and faith,
the Bible has to be ignored, trivialised or ‘made-to-fit’! The Bible says of itself in 2 Timothy 3:16 that “all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness”. This means that all of Scripture is truth, that all of Scripture is inspired and that God’s Word stands today as His blueprint for life and living. To take another position is to deny the authority of Scripture. To take a position that God’s Word is not relevant for today and that “we” need to rewrite Scripture to fit the twenty-first century is to place our knowledge and our wisdom in a place that is greater than the wisdom and knowledge of God, when God says in Isaiah 55:9 that “as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts”. God has perfect knowledge and perfect wisdom concerning all things – past, present and future. To
The Slow Bible movement: Part one of three
You might have heard of Slow Food or The Slow Food Movement. It advocates for regional produce, organically grown food, food prepared with care and nutritious food. It’s a contrast to fast food such as takeaways and microwave meals; meals which are obviously not always the healthiest option. In a culture often obsessed with fast (food),ultrafast (broadband), and even instant (noodles); slow goes against the grain. We even seem to be obsessed with speed when it comes to reading the Bible. Bible-in-a-year plans encourage us that in just 3.2 chapters a day we can read our way through the whole Bible in 365 days. That’s a pretty quick when you consider you’re attempting to read, contextualize, comprehend, and apply to 21st Century life an historic document that is 2000 + years old and originally written in Hebrew and Greek.
Notwithstanding if you get a couple of days or weeks behind you’re going to be reading like crazy to catch up! I’d encourage you to embrace ‘slow’ Bible reading, especially when we remember that the goal is ‘Bible living’ not simply ‘Bible reading’. The Bible contains the big story of God at work in our world. In this big story it is possible to make sense of humanity’s story, of this mysterious and beautiful world we live in, and of our own individual stories and experiences. The Bible, as God’s Word invites, inspires and challenges us to re-orientate the whole way we live. It frees us from our own small worlds and the ruts we get ourselves into. It invites us to be lost and found in God’s great love story. Viewed like this, reading
the Bible is an enticing proposition and potentially life changing experience. It’s not always an easy book however. Filled with genealogies, enigmatic poetry, quirky stories and letters written to particular people in a particular time and context far removed from our own 21st Century postmodern world; it’s a grand-narrative to be worked through slowly rather than in a fast, great rush. A qualitative reading of comprehension and application will be a hands down healthier approach than a quantitative reading of a quickly consumed daily word count. In next week’s column we’ll look more at what this might practically look like. www.stlukeschurch.org.nz Joseph McAuley
suggest that the Bible is out-of-date is foolishness and gross ignorance and man’s attempt to justify positions that are contrary to the Word of Truth. I urge those who claim to be true followers of Christ, those who have been born again by the Spirit of God through sincere repentance and through genuine surrender to Christ, to hold fast to God’s Word and to be lovers of Truth (see 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11). God’s Word and His Word alone is truth. His Word is forever settled in heaven. His Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Be certain then to measure all things against the standard that is God’s Word! Visit with us on Sunday or at www.jesusfirst.org.nz By Peter Whitcombe, Jesus First Church
