We invited Riekert Botha and his beautiful wife, Pippa, to come and share the message of Love and relationships, on the 13th Feb 2010, here in Springbok.
Riekert Botha is a young minister from Vredendal, who has a modern and humouristic edge, in the manner of getting his message across. He is also a guest-speaker on RSG. And he definitely had his audience captivated throughout.….
When you are walking in a park or through a mall, have you ever noticed the couples around you, how many of them still walk hand-in-hand?
When last have you said “I love you” to your wife, your husband, your mom and dad or even to your friend? My mom always said to me that it just wasn’t proper to do such things in “her day”.
In a society and world like today, we so dearly want to raise our children to be respectful and well mannered. Our sons to respect their partners and all women in their lives. We want to teach our children all about forgiveness. But how can we do that, when we ourselves find it difficult to ask for forgiveness, especially when we have done something wrong?
It’s so hard to say the words: “I’m sorry…..Please forgive me….My ego and pride got the better of me”.
In a relationship, there has to be communication between both parties. A method of reciprocation and compromise. Making sacrifices without complaint or expectations. And above all else, allowing the Lord Jesus Christ to live in both your hearts. And where Christ is….there is unconditional Love!
All the guests were greeted with a cool refreshment before the sermon. And after the sermon, the guests could chat with Riekert over a cup of tea or coffee. His books on “Verhoudings” were on sale. Guests could buy them and have them personally autographed. The ladies of VLV Springbok each provided scrumptious and tasty pastries and snacks, enough for all the guests to feast on while waiting to get a word in (and even a photograph) with Riekert.
