Saturday

Saturday Did you ever stop to think why Christians keep Sunday? Can get the Bible? There is a clear mandate that says: "You'll need to keep Sunday?" Why did Jesus worship on Saturday? E 'was only because it was a good Jew? Or go beyond that? Do not see any difference day to maintain a condition that in seven days? What does the Bible really say? "And on the seventh day God finished his work he had done, and rested the seventh day .... God blessed the seventh day and sanctified, because in it he rested from all his work he had created and made "(Genesis 2.2 - 3). W is the Christian Sabbath? Go grab a calendar. See which day is the seventh day, then you know the Bible Saturday. And remember, God gave humanity the gift on Saturday after their creation. Adam and Eve were not Jews! And yet, God expects us to remember the seventh day Saturday as a memorial of creation. When the assembly of God in our data-rest, we know that we worship the King of Creation. Any other "sleep" is simply man-made. The Great Creator, God blessed the seventh day with his presence, and, therefore, with the exception of special. We must not accept any cheap imitations or replacement, if the traditional Muslim Friday or Sunday. Because humanity loss or abandonment of the truth about God, Saturday, the Creator has willed to reveal once again when he was about to make Israel his servant in the nation. God has given them instructions so they can teach others: "Remember the Sabbath day shall sanctify. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. It must do no work .... For six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day is sanctified and "(Exodus 20:8-11). Note: God calls the Sabbath, such as his. He does not refer to him as the "Jewish Saturday. Although it was leaed that distinguish the different days of pagan worship (Gal 4:10). "The Lord's Day" was for everyone to enjoy and appreciate (Matthew 12:8; Isa. 56:6). And the early Church, composed of Jews and Gentiles, to celebrate the good together Saturday for more than three hundred years! This is because the U.S. has known independence. When God restored Israel Saturday, was on the seventh day Saturday to set up creation. It has not been changed to another day. And their goal remains the same: to reveal the Creator and the commemoration of his majestic work of art. Jesus honored his father by keeping the commandments of God. " The fourth commandment is to remember the Sabbath day. Christ does not forget the importance of the participation of service Saturday (Luke 4:16) - Never on Sunday, and the apostle Paul exhorts us to avoid the habit of moving the services of the Church (Hebrews 10:25 a.m.). After all, this is a commanded assembly (Leviticus 23:3), which gives us the opportunity to better understand the Scriptures (Acts 19:8). Why lose? Just as a reminder of God's incredible ability, Saturday is a memorial of the deliverance of Israel from Egypt (Deut. 5:15). This foreshadows the future of European tyranny and rescue is our liberation from sin in progress (Isaiah 14:3, Galatians 5:1). God sent the plagues against Egypt has identified him as the creator of God: He who can control the forces of nature and to intervene in the inteal affairs of nations. When God pours out the seven plagues of Europe Babylonish system, bringing the knees, are revealed only as the Holy Father and God the Most High (Dan 2:44, Rev. 14:7). On Saturday, the memorial of creation and liberation of Israel, we remember the relief comes from sin. Finally you can relax and enjoy the temptation of Justice (II Pet. 3:13). When we are truly bo again will be free of sin, which will be a thing of the past (I Jn. 3:9). The serenity that awaits us in the promised land of the Kingdom of God (Hebrews 4:1 - 11). God himself is playing - Christ in us - and to add the "touch" of our resurrection (Romans 8:21-23). We are loved by God in creation! Jesus cut all the bureaucratic tangle of human traditions, and kept the Sabbath as God (Mark 7:7). However, it was prophesied that alter how and when we observe God's days of rest, the force and trying to replace it with your (Dan 7:25, Rev. 17:5). This Saturday, the issue is set to become a problem yet bloody (Rev. 13:17, 14:13). But for those who really want to know the truth, God has entrusted the Jews to maintain an awareness of the true Sabbath day (Rom 9:4). Jews and not in the Sunday worship! Follow the biblical practice of participation Saturday from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. God pronounced a blessing for all the proper maintenance of the Saturday just before the retu of Christ, despite the political pressure from the front (Isaiah 56:1-2). Why have not the time to know God? Despite enjoying our daily contact, neglecting the commandments of God, every seven days as an opportunity to lea more about himself and life. Not content with trying to pass counterfeit or copied to other days (Deut. 12:30). God reserves the days of rest for his people. This is a part of the life of Jesus and the early church custom. In fact, all the priests, the righteous and the prophets, patriarchs and kings, throughout biblical history, God has kept the Sabbath holy. Why not follow their example? Do not forget!

The Spirit World Fact or Fantasy

The Spirit World Fact or Fantasy There is a spiritual kingdom, another mode of existence of invisible entities, perhaps with some intelligence, feelings and desires? And if a realistic answer to this question is "yes", are some or all of these entities in a position to intervene and to influence human affairs and even the world, for better or for worse? I do not pretend to be able to prove anything on the spiritual realm, and I would be very skeptical if someone claims to know everything about it. Communication with the spirits could mislead and sometimes dangerous. Furthermore, it is not, in my opinion, a healthy (natural) activity, and I have never had the curiosity to experiment spiritualism. Perhaps I was influenced by large O.T. prophets clearly prohibiting such activities. The reasons given in the Bible has a meaning for me, but I do not go in this article. Personally, during my 30 years of spiritual search, I came to believe that they do not believe in the existence of the world of spirits. It also has the support of the Scriptures that there is a fierce war in progress in the spiritual realm, which, unfortunately, reflects on the humanity here on Earth. The more knowledge of this invisible spiritual war, the better equipped we will be to ensure that people say on the future of our planet and not invisible, friendly or hostile, entities - angels or devils. Through the careful and impartial study of the Bible - which, incidentally, I do not believe that God has inspired in its entirety because it contains many inconsistencies and contradictions - I have come to spiritual entities classified into four categories, which are described below: 1: Spirits ( awareness) of deaths, which, under certain conditions, can communicate with the living. 2: Spirits (benign or malignant), which may be issued by the prophets. 3: Spirits of the Nations (principalities). 4: The spirits who appear to be the incaation of the virtues or defects formed by emotions, thoughts and words, ie the spiritual power of human beings. The four categories of alcoholic beverages in the Bible, although the differences between them are not always distinct. Especially the second and fourth refer to two categories created by human minds. As for the angels, the Bible seems to distinguish between ordinary minds, but I can not expand their limited space of this article. The New Testament is full of references to demons, ie, evil spirits, and these also need to be a separate article. Some demons, however, could be man-made and are included in category 4 above, while others belong to the 2nd category of alcoholic beverages. In any case, the invisible world seems full of strange people to us, some friends of human beings and very hostile and dangerous, of which the writers of the Bible seem to know very little. Discement of spirits is not an easy task. Then I proceed with great caution. None of my comments on this issue must be received, no doubt, as a doctrine. And 'the greatest responsibility of individuals, in their search for spiritual truth, who consistently seek personal revelation of God through prayer and meditation. 1st: The spirits of the dead. Although there are some verses of the Bible, on the contrary, most of the writers of the Bible believe that the soul survives the death of his body, and others refer to as "spirits of the dead." Here are some verses: " ; (...) The Egyptians see the idols and the spirits of the dead, media and spiritists. "(Isa.19: 3) This verse means that the human spirit not only survives death, but it can also be contacted by life through the media and spiritists. A case in which someone Biblica in touch with the spirit of a dead person is that of King Saul. In their desperation to seek advice on the war of Israel against the Philistines, Saul use in contact with the spirit of the dead prophet Samuel, through a medium (1 Samuel 28:7-15). (Later, Saul was punished for this sin - 1 Chr 10: 13-14) 2nd: alcohol released by the prophets. The Bible says that God intervenes in world affairs through their representatives, the prophets. They are those who speak for the Almighty and his blessings issue or experimentation on individuals, nations or humanity as a whole. The principal of the Old Testament prophets often tried in the name of Zion of God: "When God has dirt from the daughters of Zion and clean the blood of Jerusalem from their midst, the spirit of the ruling and the spirit of the record. "(Isaiah 4: 4) Isaiah, like all the prophets of the Old Testament, Cree sin that must be" dragged "by the ruling spirit and the spirit of the record. And the ruling could come by word of a prophet, much earlier and more strongly that the natural process of the remuneration of the right of punishment. Some spirits set in the same way that "spiritual energy", published by the prophets. If this is the spiritual and / or reinforced by spiritual kinship existing entities in the Universe, is nobody's guess. Unfortunately, many zealous "Christians" have inherited this "failure of the spirit" of the OT and are very dangerous around. Use the name of the Lord to pass judgments on others. But Jesus said: "Bless and curse not." "I for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and supplication (...)." (Zech. 12:10 p.m. a) The spirit of grace can (and should) be made through the 'intervention of a prophet, that helps people to repent of their sins and tu to God and this is exactly what God expects all his prophets and the believers to do. The following Scripture confirms this: "Because I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord, and then tu to live. "(eż. 18: 32) 3: Spirits of Nations. > From various verses of the Bible that seem to represent spirits nations. They are called "principles". We read the "prince of Greece, the" Prince "Prince of Persia and Israel, who is Michael the Archangel! (Daniel 10:18-21) Daniel says that every nation has its own spiritual prince, an angel or archangel, which serves its interests. If these principles are true angelic beings, provided by nations on Divine Providence, at the beginning of time, or man created ghosts formed over millennia by the solidification of the collective subconscious of the people of the same language, religion and traditions, is a difficult philosophical question that only a mystic could respond closely. The Apostle Paul suggests that these "principalities" over the nations are not flesh and blood but spiritual hosts heavenly places. "Finally, be strong in the Lord and the power of his strength. Put on the armor of God, who can be against the wiles of the devil. Not dispute against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places. "(Ephesians 6: 10-12) 4: The spirits of the virtues or vices. In the Bible we find references to the spirits of the virtues and talents (spirit of wisdom, spirit of love, the spirit of truth, the spirit of discement, the spirit of science, the spirit of the arts, etc.) (Gen. 41: 38 -- 39) (Exodus 31: 1-3) It seems that all the virtues and talents are spirits. These are spirits or a man of talent, inherited, cultivated in the previous life (if reincaation is a fact) that are separate entities in the cosmos, ie, "gifts" that God chooses as the man? The answer to this question is not simple. In my opinion, some virtues ( "spirits") could be formed by human effort, in this or previous lives, others may have been inherited, and others could be the gift of the Spirit of God. " "And the Lord said to Moses:" Bring me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know the elders of the people and of their officials, and bring up the tabeacle of the congregation, who can be there with you . And I will come and talk with you, and I have the spirit that is upon you, and put it on them, and that the burden of people with you, so you can not stand alone. (...)' Moses went and told the people the words of the Lord, and gathered the seventy men of the village elders, and their around the tabeacle. Then the Lord descended in a cloud, and I spoke with him, and took the spirit that was upon him, and gave to the seventy elders, and when the spirit rested upon them, prophesied. But not yet. "(Num. 11: 16-17, 24-25) There is no other way to obtain spiritual gifts, that is, by transfer from someone who already has. In the above verses we read that Moses took some of his spirit of prophecy of seventy elders of Israel to cover with a cloud of spiritual energy, which had provided for them. In other cases, the O.T. this transfer takes place sacred anointing oil (Exodus 30: 30). In N.T. the transfer of spiritual gifts than any other place, with the laying on of hands. However, the records referred to above reveal that the elderly only prophesied at that time. They do not do it again. Apparently, the gifts of the Spirit, which receives a transfer from another room with the receiver only temporarily. In order to keep it permanently, must acquire a certain spiritual quality of devotion to God Here is another example where the spirit: "And the Lord said to Moses:" Take Joshua son of Nun, a man that is the spirit, and his hands on him, because before the priest Eleazar and the whole congregation, and commission him in their eyes. "(Num. 28: 18-19) So Joshua, who had the spirit, was a little 'more spiritual gifts of Moses, when he hands over him. Confirm the following scriptures: "And Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him" (Deut. 34: 9) The Bible also refers to the spirits of services, for example, a spirit of pride or an arrogant spirit, a spirit of anger, fear, greed, lust, envy, etc. Could these "evil spirits that the New Testament are called" demons "? Are all or some of these "devils" created by man free will and supported by man of his spiritual energy? Could some of them have pre-existing in the spiritual realm, before your post (had) the body of a person? This does not seem unlikely. In any case, Jesus seems to have been too busy to deliver people from demons during his ministry. This was a brief analysis of the different categories of spirits are in the Bible. The theme of alcoholic beverages is vast and difficult to fully understand its various dimensions and implications are derived in part from our inability to define precisely the nature and origin of a spirit. In addition, some 'knowledge of the spiritual world and how it interacts with humans requires some knowledge of our own spiritual nature and purpose of our life and creation as a whole. Personally, I have no illusion that this life you can have the real answer to all our questions regarding the above. But this does not mean that we should not seek knowledge, wisdom and revelation.

Forget the House of Re

Forget the House of Re 2 Samuel chapters 11 - 19All Scripture references taken from the "Good News Bible. King David may have been a man who loved God with passion, but often their family life is in confusion.

Even if I gave a thousand pieces of silver, I would like to do? not lift a finger against the king? s son. All the kings command you heard ...? For my benefit, not harm the boy, Absalom. But if I had disobeyed the king, and killed Absalom, the king had heard of him ... and I defended. After ten Joab? s men were killed and Absalom. hearing your child? s death, despite Joab? s protests, David wept and wept for his son. He sent a message to the chief priests of Jerusalem, asking, Why should it be the last to help bring the king to his palace? You are my family [brothers - RV] of my blood, why you should be the last to bring me back? (2 Samuel 19:11-12) According to the Bible, the above steps, David fled Jerusalem to avoid being assassinated by his son Absalom, that the throne. Crossing the River Jordan, David waited until a report is Absalom? s defeat. It sent a message to some of the problems that had remained unharmed in Jerusalem. Your message has been sent to the leaders of the tribe of Judah - David? s own tribe - his family, which, in essence, asked "Why Paradise? Has not expressed the desire for my retu? Why Paradise? I was not brought back to be your king? I? I'm hoping to retu. There are some lukewarm believers who have allowed Absoloms to ascend the throne of their hearts. These Absoloms because their hearts rebel against Jesus Christ who is the legitimate king. For these believers, through the voice of the Holy Spirit, Christ question? When you bring back? I? I was expecting to retu once again as the king of your heart and life. Want to be the last to bring me back? Yes, you are a Christian. If Jesus Christ is the Savior. Yes, you love him. But, however, keep some '. Not made him their king. Therefore, it is surprising that the voice of the Holy Spirit, Jesus reminds him that you want to be held as the new king?

He explained as he had been deposed king fled to a place of refuge to await the possibility that one day could be invited to retu to power. To that end, his main conce was the political evolution of ancient kingdoms. Jesus, also waiting in the hope that people have sent a spiritual home of Forgotten Kings, soon called him. What determines the retu is the spiritual condition of one? s heart.The record of the Old Testament, in the beginning, God? s perfect plan for the nation of Israel is about to be their king, but Israel wanted a human king. We want to be like other nations. Give us a king? Therefore, God has done, but not waed before the dire consequences of their choice. As God had waed Israel experienced the painful consequences. After winning a war against a determined enemy, Saul, Israel? s first king, disobeyed God? s statement that all the enemies captured booty was destroyed. Israel has been nothing to complain about for himself. Saul also disobeyed the order not to sacrifice himself, but to wait until the prophet Samuel came to do. Headstrong was a king who has always tried to justify his sin actions. Although there are many good kings in the history of Israel, many were the apostates who have evil cult of pagan gods. God has been sent to the home of Forgotten King, and, ultimately, were won by the same nations whose false idol gods that had adopted.Webster? s definition of a king?

He has forgotten that Jesus was the king for his birthright. The results may not always be so drastic, but to dethrone Christ in our hearts, even for a short period of time is a dangerous thing for do.John Wesley explained how his parents have been together almost everything, until one day there was a division in the United Kingdom. Some wanted Prince Charles to rule, others were in favor of the Prince of Orange. Wesley? s parents are on opposite sides of the issue. One day the senior Wesley went to church affairs in London and realized his wife was not prepared to go with him. Why are not willing to travel with me in London? "Because I do not think Prince Charles should be king? replied.Hearing that his wife, the husband replied? So we can not live together, we sleep in different beds. If we have two kings, we must have two beds. He has left and not retu until Prince Charles was throne.Drastic? Sure, but John Wesley? S reveals the intense story of some people who have allegiance to a ruler on earth. They are willing to leave home, family and friends of loyalty to the earthly rulers of their choice. In those circumstances, what must be the most faithful believers in Christ, the eteal ruler of the centuries?

At banquets and social affairs, to protect their masters, who often take their place twice. To fulfill this duty, have undergone rigorous training to perfectly imitate the emperor. Therefore, it is not considered the honor of being elected to the potentially dangerous task, the danger does not mean anything to them. That would have gladly sacrificed their lives for their emperor.Believers have a king who should be emulated. As the Apostle Paul wrote? Be imitators of me, as I am an imitator of Christ. A hymnist wrote? King of my life now crown. It will be your glory. To avoid that I forgot your face, crowned with thos, bring me to Calvary.

What will you give venom

What will you give venom Now that the hustle and bustle of Christmas is all around us, this may be a good time to go back, relax, and think about what would be the best gift we received this Christmas. We are often told that wisdom is determined by age, I would like the retu jouey a little 'time to the truth of the Kings and see what we can read from their walks. Follow me, if you click on the book of Matthew, Chapter 2, verses 1-12. (We explain here the text so that you can refer to them, if necessary: From King James Version) When Jesus was bo in Bethlehem of Judea, at the time of King Herod, behold, there came wise men of the East toJerusalem, 2 . 'Say, where he was bo, the king of the Jews? because we have seen his star in the East and have come to him. 3rd When Herod the king had heard these things, was in difficulty, and with him all Jerusalemlace. 4th And if he had all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, asked them to Christ, which should be bo. 5th And he said, "In Bethlehem of Judaea: for this is the prophet, 6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the principles of Judas: the chairman to come from you, decide that my people, Israel . 7th Then Herod, when he had privily called the Wise Men, who are diligently inquired if the star has appeared. 8th And he sent them to Bethlehem and said: Go 'and research for the care of children, and if you have found him, bring me once again that I and him. 9th When he heard the king, who is party, and behold, the star which they saw in the East went before them, till he came and stopped where the child was. 10th When they saw the star, the rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11th And when you come into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and fell down and worshiped him, and when they opened their treasures, who presented him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. 12th And being waed by God in a dream not to retu to Herod, who traveled in their own country another way. What are some of the lessons which emerged from the previous step: Well, to begin, we find that the light that has the Magi to Christ. The Bible tells us in Mt.5 :14-16, You are the light of the world. A city on a hill can not be hidden. Neither the 15 men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candle, and there is a light to all of you who are in the house. 16th Let your light shine before men so that may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. This is exactly what happens with the practice, saw the light, and that light that is Christ. Is your light shining? Others are part of Christ through you? E 'was the light that is to look at them: The essays could have remained where they were, but they did not know that God would only when under the light. God promises us in Jeremiah 29:13,14, and you must seek me and find me when its for me with all my heart. 14th And I find among you, saith the Lord: ... And what they do when they find? They revered him! The word worship comes from the Greek word PROSKOONEH'O. This means that Adore-A chance before God in worship. An example of this type of worship is found in Revelation 4:10-11 The four winds and elders fall down before him, seated on the throne, and him who lives forever and ever and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created. Worship is not just say "I love you" with your mouth, but with your whole being. Ezekiel 33:31 tells us ... With their mouths are a lot of love, but his heart's desire after Goethe. Many Christmas say "I love you Lord", but in their hearts, they are more with what to buy so and so. At Christmas, we have more Christmas gifts rather than to its presence! We must be careful not to deal with the tradition of Christmas and forget from where it is really all about Christmas. And finally: I have opened their treasures and the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. These gifts were EXPENSIVE! We believe that there is no money for a special gift for someone we love. We will carefully ensure that only a perfect gift. The question is, WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND POISON for Jesus? He is the one who loves you so much, he was willing to die for you. John 15:13 says, no one has greater love than that one lay down his life for his friends hours Disclaimer: I am not saying that Christ is waiting to kill, even for him! What he wants is your life, but in the sense of life is that for him. This is a question of surrender to your way of thinking and doing things and for her to lea from him and to act as it had to act. While there are our families and the gifts we have, we must not forget to Christ and what is the best gift for him. Matthew 10:37-39 tells us who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, everyone who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me, and who is not up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Who finds his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me to arrive. We are ready to spend this? It is expensive! But what a perfect gift for him, let us our lives to Christ this Christmas and our lives throughout the year in communion with him. "O HOW HE worship, Christ the Lord"

Trailing Clouds of Glory

Trailing Clouds of Glory Most of us are familiar with the inteal criticism and gnawing self-doubt, if we listen, we want to take the next step in our work and life. Rather than be constrained, we can offer our thoughts, let them go back to the truth of who we are. William Wordsworth reminds us of our only true home: Our birth is only a sleep and a forgetting, The soul that is with us, our lives of stars, had its setting is elsewhere, and by far not in all forgetfulness, and not full nudity, but behind the clouds of glory we come from God, our house is "go home to our true self, at any time, our life work. We get sidetracked thinking about the promotion of employment, or after treatments e-book/workshop/project that is what is important. Certainly, the implementation of certain tasks, however, is the state of our being, how does one go about it is the most important task the task done. Walk through the cemetery back to our breath - our thread of God - we retu to our true home. Just take a break from everyday life and go for a walk in a cemetery can be reground our soul. Seriously - try it! As I received last Sunday moing, having fallen from my husband at work. I felt under pressure to work, as my husband was working and I was not the case. Then I felt angry, I "had" to wash the car, go shopping, discover the best e-book compiler, lea and purchase the software and writing that e-book. Worse yet, I have heard that all the martyrs on Sunday. Usually, even when I'm not much of a church, I would like the Holy Saturday nourish me and my spirituality. As the "to-do" litany continues to ruin my moing, I heard my small, still voice whispers: "Go to the cemetery." Almost the trip with the cemetery, my decision was quick. My "busy" Energy has responded with "Ok. Go to the cemetery and walk with. "With reflective review, the full text of the" do / make, "that the focus of energy horrified me. My daily walks are inextricably linked to my emotional and mental well-being - not just a place to exercise! At first I felt empty on this sunny moing, as I walked to the cemetery perimeter maximum exercise. "Then with another intuitive impulse I broke the" Movement Strategy "and removed in a tombstone, which has always haunted me. E 'was buried a young man, only twenty-seven years, ados his tombstone the words and music: "Even so - it is well with my soul." Ah, in the face of pain and loss, "Still - that is well with my soul. "Ah? Words such as comforting. The next tombstone reads: "Here are the names of God for his purposes?" And in that moment I knew that each of us has with God With my hand on my heart and tears on my cheeks, I walked slowly, my militant March hours a sacrilege. Then again, I stopped. Hear! Hear! Gay, busy birds sing everywhere! He had just started? Or I have heard before losing? The scent of vanilla from the threat of Ponderosa pine trees filled my senses. Keeping the Sabbath with my hand still my heart, I was there, living among the dead quiet. Suddenly, there was nothing to be done, there is no urgent tasks, no time pressure, no leadership voice, only this time of abundance, joy, sweetness of soul. On Saturday came. I spent the Sabbath. I was at home. We are able to maintain this Saturday all day, every time? As we will be able to communicate more wealthy, work, relationships, actions and when we do our best to leave this God-centered energy compared to the hard, heavy pressure of fear? In the following passage from the "Circle of Stones, Woman's Jouey of self" Durk Judith provides a timetable for a retu to our God, in my opinion, applies to men as women. "Woman claims will be the reasons how they spend their time, waiting time, the inside, as if the touch and keep it in your hand? Claims, the way they spend their time to be, not might, in one hour over an hour, but listen with a sense of balance and moderation, that every activity will be met with a quiet pause first what then? one among them to reflect on itself to present.

Zodiac Signs End Time Events

Zodiac Signs End Time Events The signs of the zodiac END-TIMES EVENTS Some of the signs of the zodiac in the sky as a "constellation" of a group of stars, in the vision of the biblical prophets in predicting future events and Joseph was the first in the Bible to use astrological sign, as illustrated in the book of Genesis, whose star was the "Bull" (April 21 - May 20) become his brothers (Gen. 37:5-11 and Deut. Chapter 33), while Jacob Judah provided the Zodiac, known as the Lion of the tribe of Judah as a LEO (July 23 to August 22). In most of the vision of Daniel God used Zodiac signs which he studied in astrology in Babylon (Dan 5:11). So the vision of the Ram and the He-goat were part of the zodiac signs used to tell Daniel of the coming events. The symbols of these creatures in heaven, and as a group of stars to be biblical prophets in the form of a genuine comic film with the shape of these creatures, but in a cartoon or rubout form, the characters and can be used, upcoming events and more, but the same sign, but some futures could be added or modified, for example, when the Zodiac is a goat with four legs in vision could be five, six, seven, eight legs, etc., depending on l 'importance of the prophecy. God is primarily the vision of the night, after the prophet Daniel, without challenge or thinking about him as the apostle John, God sent his angel to show the vision of him, in his case was also a comic show companies saw, in most cases, the case has said, "I saw a sign in the sky, I saw a sign in the sky" to describe the film board, it was straight to the sky, behind the company also shows the Stars could see up into the earth, is like a company executive is in the sky for you to watch. But the sight of hidden water in the bowl or on the Search Magic Mirror after serious mediations according to the formulas and prayers to religion, but this is not the case with the biblical prophets. God is able to demonstrate to them anytime, anywhere, even while walking, eating or sleeping, is their natural gift of God. " For me, I never seriously fast and pray, before you get a revelation, God's revelation to me anywhere at any time since the most anointed prophet of God, and I can not explain all the deepest mysteries of the Bible, because I seen in both visions and dreams that can be used as a guide in my explanations and then some information for the test in the book of Revelation, several signs of the zodiac have been used in Revelation, chapter 12, the woman clothed with the sun, Vigo (August 23 to September 23), Biblical, this represents the Church and the Virgin Mary, the birth of the Child-Man, while the great red dragon is the dragon in the sky, like a group of stars, in Revelation chapter 6, driver of the white horse with a bow is known as Sagittarius or Archer (23 Nov-Dec 21) and in Revelation chapter 6, the balance or scale is called LIBRA (Sept. 24-23 October) in connection with the vision of handwriting on the wall in terms of vision of the hand he ram-goat (Daniel chapter 5). A group of stars known as Scorpio came down from heaven, which is the key to the earth as a sign of the Zodiac SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22, Rev. 9:1-11). Gemini (May 22-June 21) The double annoyance known as Jacob and Esau and the beast that rose from the ground (from the bottomless pit) is Cancer (June 22-July 22) THE STAR OF LEO and the birth of Christ during the birth of a king, one of the stars of this group that they too brigher compared to other statistics Just as happened during the day Our Lord was bo and his star in the zodiacal constellation Leo is very bright for the recognition of the three astrologers, as has been shown to me is still the star in the sky and sent its rays tinny on the roof of the house of the Lord, during the birth but to prevent the death of King Herod, the beam is no longer with the stars is obscured by cloud and the cloud was gone, like when you are outside the Royal Palace and were on their way, the search for the new king is bo. The cloud, which was removed and the Ray, who have until they arrived on the roof and the star that was not actually moving before them, but the radius of a star in the constellation Leo, and before it is directed to the location of the new bo king of the stars and the fall of the stars in LEO 1833 Jesus predicts the fall of the stars before his second coming and in the Book of Revelation is known as the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the bright and Moing Star with the zodiacal signs (Revelation 5:5, Mat, Rev. 24:29-33 and 22:6). Thefore during his second coming, the LEO group of stars is another important rule. The stars, the start of the first constellation Leo was tested on 13 Nov. 1833. On this account, Agnes M. Clarke, author of "A POPLULAR History of Astronomy" (Edition 1885) 369.370 page indicated that part of the world, saw the scene includes the Gulf of Mexico, Halifax and Boston in the United States, said: "The sky was marked in each direction with a brilliant ball of fire. Trace backward their parts were always found together, to a point in the constellation-LEO '(For more information, see "Reading the Bible HOME" Page 232, paragraph 2). The Bull sign and the darkness of the earth. Before the fall of the Stars in 1833, the darkness of the land was also considered one of the signs of the end time of the second coming of the Lord. The darkness was one of the character of Moses in Egypt and one of the prophetic powers of the two witnesses prophecy for 1260 days according to Revelation, chapter 11, this must be done before the second coming of Jesus Christ follows. As a sign indicating the origin of world events, on 19 May 1780 most of the world was total darkness, as was in the days of Moses in Egypt, even a white piece of cloth can not be seen as a thick dark cloud ( see the reading of the Bible from the Home Page 230) This incident occurred on 19 may indicate the sign for the bulls is the forerunner of LEO. The difference, in May to November, with six months indicating John the Baptist older than Christ for a period of six months for its predecessor, if the sign of the bull thick darkness appeared in May 1833. So that the Zodiac is usually to play in this end-times

The separation of Church and State Evolution Intelligent Design and the Bible, Part 2

The separation of Church and State Evolution Intelligent Design and the Bible, Part 2 What is the theory of evolution? First we must look to what is a theory. Heres the definition: 1. A belief that can guide behavior. 2nd A preliminary theory of the natural world, a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena. 3rd A well-founded explanation of some aspects of the natural world, 4. an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a number of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena. "theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses", "true in fact and in theory" Evolution, a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage) (biology) , the sequence of events involved in the evolutionary development of a species or a taxonomic group of organisms. The problem we have with the theory of evolution is that this theory is not based on demonstrable facts. After all its only theory. Words such as, 1st if this is true, 2. A belief that can guide the behavior of the 3rd A provisional theory, 4th a concept that has not yet been verified, and 5. an organized system leads to the fact that this theory is not just a theory but a religion, or rather I should say Cult. When a body such as the scientific community bears this type of doctrine, which is separated from a home at a reasonable mind-body doctrine is deceiving others and oneself. Yes I am saying that the theory of evolution is a religion and doctrine. It is a doctrine, a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as the authority of a group or school. Evolution is a belief that can guide behavior, as such, becomes not only dangerous to the Christian community, but also children who receive this information I believe the school system does not teach, if it were not true, this is a fake. Time of schools teaching the three R is more. Now teaches theories and speculations, not facts. A concept that has yet to be verified is that the trend is not down, because the truth has not been shown to be done. Therefore, if schools want to teach evolution as a theory not proven, because they do not teach that 2 plus 2 equals 5, as it is a theory a few? 2 plus2 really can not equal 4. Evolution is a sense of belief that can guide the behavior, we can also say that the Bible can be taught, because it is also a belief that can guide behavior. If this theory is somewhat 'out of fear, is that you can drive the behavior of the weak in mind to do things which are contrary to sound critical. Darwin did not know the origin of the variation in individual agencies, but noted that it seemed to be a case. Work much later secured the change of the mutation. Words such as genetic drift, gene flow, natural selection, and morphological evidence Evolutionary Biology, all of a doctrine is supposed to be illegal, in today's society, so that within our school systems. So why the scientific community and the school system, wants to teach the theory in practice? Why are they offended by the truth of the Bible. For centuries, have sought to discount the truth of the Bible, but in vain. Many people find it difficult to take anything on faith and trust in an entity that can not see. But at the same time they want to teach our children the lack of development of theories about the man with the animals. If the development is not credible is that there is no mention of a 'soul, spirit, or the ability to make rational decisions. If a group of pre-animated objects evolved into a being superior, because not all of that species evolve? Why not the kind that is supposed to have evolved from a sense of intelligent reasoning? Why? The Bible says in Job 32:9, big men are not always wise: do not understand the ruling elders. Ecc 3:19-22; befalleth For the sons of men befalleth beasts, even something as befalleth Diether, and other Diether yes, they have all one breath, so that no man shall prevail on a beast: for all is vanity. All go to one place, all are dust, and all tu to dust again. Who knows the spirit of the people that go upwards, and the spirit of the beast going down to the earth? So I think there is nothing better than a man should rejoice in his works, for his part, that is: for which are taken to see what will be after him? Now it is not reasonable that the evolution is a sense of belief that can guide behavior, and school systems that must be taught, because they are so afraid to teach, not intelligent design, but the real Bible, who is also a conviction that can guide behavior?

The New Urban Christian

The New Urban Christian Who are these new Urban Christians? What? S with the afro, long hair, grunge or gangster clothing? Have you gone to a Christian rock concert? You can not tell the difference between this and a Rolling Stones concert? There are long haired youth and young adults, swaying to the music, holding up lighters. Have you been to a Gospel concert? What? S like to see any popular R & B singer? all? s beautiful in their clothes (including the corridors below the diaphragm and guarantees), fur coats are front and center and people drive Hummers, Navigators and Escalade, bling-blinging away. Are they really? Christians? or is this generation of believers simply lost its way? Before too carried away, we must not forget that each new generation of Christians is the bearer of a new flavor, a new style and a new way to worship God Pastor Rick Warren, author of the popular? Purpose Driven Life, "The shepherds of the Church in Khakis and polo (and, for him, who? S dressing). Go to all the great congregation, and has tried to be part sermon, part parody, a video and a lot of contemporary music. This is something wrong? I believe that the answer is no. Ask any teenager or young adults are satisfied with these services, if they know who God is, and they say yes. How, in fact, ask any American if they are believers, and say yes and also (although refuge? Since the inside of a church since elementary school). The question I must ask is whether the Christian message is not out there. The average person wants to have a relationship with God and make you feel knowing God makes a difference in their lives? The answer is always "yes." Are the least? In harmony? of traditional religious beliefs in the past? Answer is also yes. But this is natural in this boom of the information age that we live in more information about different spiritual beliefs, it is natural that someone is in search of Buddhist enlightenment, Zen or mystical practices. And 'this something good? Maybe.One line of thought is that the exploration of spirituality (of any type) will increase a person? S interest in seeking a higher power, which lead them to know God Another line of thought is that the exploration of other religions and spiritual practices to confuse people and lead them to take a Hodge-podge of beliefs and value systems. What do you think? I am glad that people are searching for God, but sometimes takes a different path that I chose. My hope is that when this thing we call time is about to end, all that clear. And we will discover Him who is the heart of all these beliefs.So spiritual and religious, who are these Urban Christians? There are many like you and me. And much like our parents and grandparents. They are people who seek to know God in their own way with their music and in his fashion. So, I accept them. Sing along when you go to church or to participate online. After all, all created in the image and should serve as a link to our another.Sonya C. Triggs is the founder of Urban Ministries Christianz, which can be found on its website to find articles and advice on spirituality, Christianity, self-help, Christian dating and other contemporary issues.

Why I want to go To Heaven

Why I want to go To Heaven Why you want to go to heaven? You have given so much? When I was young, before I was a Christian, I can remember hearing sermons more about how terrible it was to be in hell. I still remember some twenty years later in a sermon which the preacher has a detailed picture of hell and punishment of those who are. I still remember how I was when I heard that sermon - the fear that led to my mind. Another sermon that I still remember, was preaching the text today is the day of salvation that you should have a decision to follow Christ today - for a few days will be too late, and we will go to hell. I am sure that these sermons, as well as others, has had much to do with me, became a Christian twenty years ago. Part of my motivation was, in any case, in order to avoid the terrible place called hell. But now, as mature Christians, many hours of studying the Word of God, the worship of many services and wonderful in a position to know the beauty of my house, instead of thinking about the terrible hell as I see things in a way clearer now. I do not see the sky, as the alteative to hell, and not as a Christian, as a means to avoid hell. I wish the sky, and in this article I would like to share with you why. It is not the Bible, not realizing that God loves his creation, man, very much. E 'because of this love, which has entrusted his son to die on the cross and suffer for our sins. E 'because of this love that was his word for us in history. And it is because of this love that He has for us a place called heaven. The Bible is full of reports about the love of God for us. One of the best is John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that believeth in him should not perish but have eteal life. "If, however, that a Christian is not just for us to love, but also on us to love others. One of the many delights, a part of the local community is the love that we can with our Christian brothers. It 'really refreshing, a congregation for the first time, and as the people's love for each other. You're hands warm, beautiful smile, hugs, words of sympathy and encouragement, and many other expressions of Christian love. In visiting the sick, closed-ins, nursing homes and back into love I can see all the hours of the day. These people are so grateful for the nice visit and to know that you care. Have you ever noticed how someone's face lights up when you have, if it were a flower, who are sick or for a special occasion? This too is evidence of Christian love. Even if the love that I have spoken here warms our hearts and gives us many blessings, which pales in comparison to the love that we experience when we are in heaven. I am sure that I do not imagine that the love is there. I know that I have no words to describe how beautiful it is that the great experience and great love of God, His Son, the Holy Spirit, the saints of old, the loved ones of our families, and brothers and sisters in Christ, we have known here on Earth. It 'really a beautiful experience. It 'a song that I dearly love, "What a day." He says: "What a day, when I see my Jesus When I look at his face, the one that saved me by His grace. It will be me by the hand and leads me through the Promised Land. That one day, glorious days to come. 'It is difficult to describe how I feel to this day. If you're not a Christian, and the same desire to see our Lord and Savior, to be able to believe his loving arms around them, and his face and know that you are happy with your life, then all attempts to describe, which would have been futile. However, the things I hope for respect towards the sky and what it is, as the only thing I hope for most. When I see the gates of heaven, that Jesus is there waiting for me and for him throw his arms around me and says: "Welcome home, my good and faithful servant. "What will be, as in the presence of God, the Almighty? To see him and bask in his fame is secure, the indescribable joy. I have time to be able to bow before my heavenly Father, and he with the angels and saints old. I will be able to sing praises to him with a perfect voice. I so look forward to the opportunity to say to him: "I love you and I raise my voice to worship you. "I know the glory of God is all over the sky. No matter where we are in this heavenly city, the glory of God is shining around the clock. I want to be there and bask in this glory. The most popular are those that deal with God. " My grandmother and grandfather were both true Saints here on earth. E 'I am delighted to know that I am with God today, for the Scriptures say: "We are confident, yes, well pleased, but are not limited to the body and to be present with the Lord. "(2 Corinthians 5:8) I look forward to the opportunity to deal with them again. I have aunts and uncles who, as friends and loved ones in the church. It will be a great day of the meeting, in fact, if all of us in heaven. Have you ever thought about how it would be nice to be able to establish and to speak with the saints of old? To be able to speak with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Timothy, Stephen, Silas, and all other truly great and wonderful experience. Sometimes I wonder if, when we are in the sky, we suddenly full knowledge of the whole history of God's people. " I do not know if there will be. But I like to think of it as the saints of old and ask them questions about their lives. I can only imagine sitting at the foot of listening to the holy days at the end of their stories to tell. The Bible tells us much about heaven and what they want. It gives us a look into the sky. Many of the things that we have in this life is not the sky. The Bible tells us, 'If you are neither hungry nor thirsty for more, the sun does not strike, nor any heat, for the lamb, in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. "(Revelation 7:16,17) We know that there is no pain, no pain, I think, not bad, no emotional problems, financial problems, no ill feelings between us, no conflict, no jealousy, no violation feelings, and the list goes on. All things that the problems here, and we make life difficult at times it is absent from the sky. There are those who dwell on the rewards that are in heaven. They like to talk about the wonderful "things" that are in heaven. How is the reward or treasures like? Are materials (houses, gold, silver, etc.), or to be spiritual (love, joy, peace, etc.)? The Bible does not speak of us with a reward or treasure in heaven. Jesus said: "Rejoice and be glad, for great is your reward in heaven. . ". (Matthew 5:12), and "lay people, but for your treasure in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break and steal. "(Matthew 6:20) For me, the wages and the treasures I look forward, not much. They are the things we talked about in this article. I look forward to Jesus and our Heavenly Father. I would like to see loved ones that have been before. I would like to visit the saints of old and share with them the victory of his life here on earth. I want the experience of love, peace and joy that the sky is the elimination of all the bad things we have to say in this life. And I want to bask in the glory of God forever! What is heaven? You can not say for sure with great detail. But we can say that is wonderful because our heavenly Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit we will be. All scriptures quoted from the New King James Version, unless otherwise indicated.

What Do You Want From Me

What Do You Want From Me Ecclesiastes 1:14 I have seen all the things that is done under the sun, all of them are meaningless, a chasing the wind.I can not tell you how many times this last year I prayed these words what you want from me? I really love the Lord with all my strength and all my heart and all my soul ... but what should I do? To me there is this constant, the enhancement of magnetic force from, um, the only problem is that I've no idea what it is, I think I do. Most people who have me and my behavior in the past years are probably convinced that I have some rare form of adult attention deficit spiritual. I hop from one mission to another in a heartbeat, constantly waiting for a special order to fill this great need for slavery in my heart. There were times that I even thought there was something seriously wrong with my brain.All I can only say that it is not try, because for my part. Although none of my tasks have filled the need, my soul, they have each fed in some way. The biggest thing I realized is a real love for people. In the past I have always shied away from interacting with others. Perhaps for fear, perhaps even suspicion, but more probably just old lack of self-esteem. Other people seemed to have everything together and I was still trying to understand how a decent woman and I must admit that mother.I lose confidence in my goal. I did all I was doing 100% and still nothing to do with the fruit, as far as I could see. So I closed. Perhaps the Lord is not a goal for me, so I probably only the judges and all my hopes and dreams, a true servant. It was not until the stop that I'm listening to the Lord, the answer, and it was not what I close. In the silence of my heart, he asked what I wanted. Of course, another argument started to my eyes, but he missed a prayer or something, because I wanted him. But no, he does not miss prayers, he knows my heart, even if I do not understand why I was what I wanted? I was definitely in a downward spiral for a while 'time. Sometimes we have so much to think that we forget how important listen.When I finally finished my opinion, long enough to listen to the message was clear that God wants me to be happy. Who says that there is beauty in simplicity, knew listen when the Lord speaks. God does not require you to change the world. This does not mean that the world does not need help, but seriously ... He was under control. Sometimes we have so much of our knowledge and influence that we do not forget where it comes from. You can only hunger in the world can not heal, but alone can not protect the house, and she alone can not be hypocrisy, hatred and evil. What you can do is be sure that all the little things that not every day you make a difference in God and only he can change the world. This is an incredible concept I know, but certainly worth experiencing.Psalm 13:5   But I have confidence in his unconditional love. I rejoice, because you saved me. 2005   All copyrights for the purposes of this work may be freely distributed, and to honor God

The sinner Stewart

The sinner Stewart The sinner Stewart The 15th November 2005 a few years ago I heard a preacher deliver a sermon on "Sinners Stewart." The sermon was so bad that I left feeling confused. This preacher had tried to explain that it is good to steal, because that was his understanding this story. I knew that Jesus never the lesson of a theft, so I prayed and asked for his understanding of history and this is what Jesus mi. I would go with you. Luke 16:1 - 8 To understand this history, we have from the scene before us. Jesus had apparently just left the house one of the leaders of the Pharisees, who in Chapter 14:1 to teach and to eat. We see in Chapter 14:25 with multitudes after him, including the Pharisees, the search for any excuse to accuse him of breaking the law. In chapter 15:1 he is accused of receiving and eating with sinners, Jesus again and begins to teach. It should be noted that Jesus was a Jew and his earthly ministry was for the Jewish nation. In Matthew 15:24, Jesus says: "I was sent, but not to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." And in Matthew 10:5, when sending his disciples, he tells them: "Do not go by way of the Gentiles." The ministry of Jesus is a microcosm of what the Jewish people should have been. Jesus was a man to do what the Jewish people as the "chosen people" should have done. And only through the Son of God bo in the flesh, which has been obtained that the children of Abraham was. God had for the Jewish nation as a witness in the world, but that is a God, a powerful and God is a God of love. God manifested his power by the Jews, and blessed with the circumcision, to distinguish them from Gentiles. Blessed with the priesthood, and gave them the law and the oral law. God has given their blessings upon blessings. During all this the Jews began to think of himself as the man only from God, and instead of witnessing to the world of God, was a hermit, hoarding and blessings of the gifts given them by God. " So Jesus came to be witnesses so that the world must not be lost. But before he had a certificate for the people who first were witnesses or not. The story of sinners Steward was said, for the benefit of the Pharisees, doctors of law and to understand that the blessings, gifts and promises, which had accumulated and wasted, if there is to be devoid of any basis for a new Steward (Jesus itself), and that while there is still time, must make an effort which, to them by God to those under the blessing of the new covenant, which will soon be introduced. Distribution of verses of this parable, there are verses 1-2 Lu 16:1 And he said to his disciples, there is a certain rich man who had a manager, and the same was accused him wasted, that he were. 2 And he called him and said, how is it that I heard from you? provide an overview of his administration, which is no longer an administrator. Man is God who is rich and free, then his wealth. The Steward is the Jewish nation, which is given the task of administering the fullness of God. " But because God has been wasted wealth, the Jews should be replaced by a new Steward (Jesus Christ). Verses 3-7 Lu 16:3 Then said the steward in itself, what should I do? for my Lord to handle me: I can not dig, to beg I am ashamed. 4 I am resolved to do what if I, by the administration, which may contact with me in their homes. 5 So he called every one of the debtors of his master to him, and said the first, you owest As to my Lord? 6 And he said, a hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty. 7 As he spoke of another, as owest you? And he said, a hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, take your bill and write fourscore. It is said that if they understand, you should plan for the future. No longer able, because they do not have the blessing of God would come in the form of another administrator. If you are not left out in the cold, which must be the one that was stolen and who are in debt. In this way, they will not be forgotten, when those who are in bonds have the blessing and the former directors are in debt. 8 Lu 16:8 And the Lord commended the unjust directors, because, as he had done for the children of this world are wiser in their generation of the sons of light. The former praises the Lord Steward for his injustice, but because it is for its future. Although he is no longer able to manage the blessing of God, he can still be part of this blessing.

The Kabbalah of Rosh Hashana by tears in the transformation

The Kabbalah of Rosh Hashana by tears in the transformation WAHL DG At sunset on the eve of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, Gd ** removed some of its light all over the world. He will remain a key, of course, or the world itself. But that presence will be remote, withdrawn. Then you wait. The next step is to contact us. At noon hour of the holy day on which Jews in every coer of the world recognize its sovereignty through prayer and the blowing of the Shofar, Gd new agreement to our king. E 'again based on his relationship with our world. And if it does, it will be entirely new with a level of light and strength. Completely new possibilities - possibilities that never before - all over the world. We are a big step forward towards our ultimate goal. But the first step should be to us. We must renew our contract with our Creator, if the world continues to exist. Once a year, the world must be G-d. Transformation from tears Why blow the Shofar, the ram's ho? What power does this primitive instrument, with an intense and essential light? More than just a ho, the Shofar is a tool of transformation. Its sound is like a cry of the heart, and its power is the power of tears. Living in a physical world, with many of the tensions and challenges of life on earth and under the relentless demands of our body and our ego, which does not even know our potential. Our soul, with all its infinite awareness, intuition, creativity, love and power, is caught and deleted. But when our defenses break if we are face to face with our essential smallness and vulnerability within this vast universe, we cry out to Gd and this cry - the intense consciousness of its own borders - is what makes us free. A broken heart can mou Release soul from its prison and leave you open to something completely new. This freedom, not coincidentally, is also associated with the trumpet-blast of the Shofar. In fact, is the bursting of the "great Shofar" - The Shofar of Redemption - the Herald is our freedom and transformation at the end of the day. Weakness and strength. Diminutiveness and sizes. Isolation and unity. Slavery and freedom. How do they work together? And how is it possible that the same sound can symbolize both? A WORLD of opposites Kabbbalah said that everything that exists is composed of two polar opposites. The opposite of darkness is the light. The opposite of evil is good. The opposite of death is life. The opposite of slavery is freedom. Wherever it was found, is the opposite. They define each other. Without one, the other could not exist. However, they have no intrinsic negative reality. The darkness is not a permanent condition. Just as the first step to launch a ball on the arm backwards, the darkness is actually a prelude, a gateway to a much more powerful light. That's why the tears of conversion may be the case. Paradoxically, only to realize our smallness, weakness and loneliness - the limits of our ego-based existence - that we have an opening to extend our perception beyond the limits and that we were indeed being bo. This possibility is to convert to intensely Rosh Hashanah, when the world begins again. On the threshold of a new world On this Rosh Hashana the year 5766, the transformation is not only possible, but more than ever necessary, not only for Jews but for the whole world. Every year on Rosh Hashanah, the world waits in the dark space between the old and the new light. Between two possibilities that there is always an empty space, a space of transition. In this space we have the possibility to leave the old - the little things, the resentment, the mistakes of the past mistakes and fears. This is a unique new way of being, a passionate sense. We are committed to a new level of friendship, respect and compassion for people around us - we love and that we were able to love, when we no longer have fear or angry. In opening ourselves to life, we are creating the greatest possible openness of Gd put in the book of life for a year, what is good and sweet in the true sense of the word. But on this Rosh Hashanah, the world waits on the threshold of redemption. In these times of unprecedented levels of intense darkness hovers above the ground. Our world is shaking. Terror, war, natural disasters and understanding of the crisis in the Middle East cast a threatening shadow over our lives. These times are frightening and challenging. But this darkness is nothing more or less the doors to a new level of light - a new reality. We, in ANCIENT PROPHECY These times have been very chaotic for detailed essays by millennia of biblical times. A discussion of these prophecies is well beyond the scope of this article. But read the words and see if you think that describes our world today: insolence and self-centeredness is deleted inflation, people are dependent for the good of life and cost of high moral standards dissolve, morals and wisdom will be denigrated, it is unbridled irresponsibility on the part of authorities, centers of leaing centers of immorality, poverty increases, the young people will denigrate the elderly, families disintegrate, leadership is cheeky. The world is a series of riots, epidemics of terrible diseases, and inteational comparison. The face of the generation, "as the face of a dog." Just as dogs are not ashamed of what we do, so that people lose the sense of embarrassment. The greater the darkness, the more light into this difficult and chaotic background, we are called to be beyond our borders, our relationship with our Creator and to update our potential as partners in creation. We are living the period of transition between exile and redemption. A breakdown of the old and unworkable, we have the possibility of something completely new. In reality, it is our destiny. Rosh Hashana: You have a choice Rosh Hashanah each of us has a choice. You can choose to remain unconscious, trapped in the prison of our fears, confusion, resentment and desire, with the remaining victims of circumstance. Or we can seize the opportunity to fly. So, we are with our destiny. To lea how to be free. Freedom is a noble concept, but has lived for the selection is made each time. In your reports. In your spirituality. In your commitment to a life of joy and satisfaction. In your awareness of Gd in the maintenance of intimate details of his daily life. In memory, which is here for a purpose and a will to do something every day for this purpose to life. If you could build a new future, one not your fears and failures of the past, could it be? How do you behave? What is the courage to create? Who I thank you? Who listens to you, and what? What to do to connect to the Sun, and your attention? What part of you would have abandoned you start promoting? That dreams can be true? Rosh Hashana maintains a wonderful power. The light of the past, and the light of the future is not yet in the world and in your life. The book is open. What to choose? ?

Ministry of Youth goals

Ministry of Youth goals 1. Do what it takes to get kids to heaven. Paul wrote that it was made all things to all men so that some might be saved (II Corinthians 9:19-23). To what extent this is due to his ministry? What could be the cause of reaching more young people in their schools and communities? The Ministry has its own set of pressures. Must worry about what the leaders, parents and members to think of a program or event. Do what it takes to get children to heaven, to give his share of criticism about their approach, but the goal of maintaining the viewfinder. Keep all participants aware of the fact that you are not using a certain technique only to be different, but kids Jesus.2. Helping children develop a personal relationship with God. " Although second-hand faith is better than no faith, no? And no doubt that the witness first hand wins. Helping children develop a faith that says:? I believe in God, because my parents do not speak, because my youth minister or preacher said so, but because I have the experience and know God in my life. 3rd Involve adolescents in daily Bible study and prayer. Instead of simply asking the group to read the Bible and pray daily, offer the opportunity and tools to make that possible. Develop a daily Bible reading to your kids. Provision of information on Bibles for young people to achieve control of the Word in a relevant them.Form three prayer groups that meet in school, or call every day for prayer requests. Challenge your group to pray before going to bed and before going to bed. Boys have their alarm for a certain period of time every day playing time of prayer. Create as many tools necessary to make the Bible and prayer in the daily basis.4. Building a Christ like attitude and spirit of the youth group. Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ? Philippians 2:5. This means that more than ask, What does Jesus do? Asks a lifestyle of delivery. What is the attitude of Jesus? Attitude of a Servant (v. 7)? Attitude of humility (v. 8)? Attitude of obedience (v. 8) If a child becomes a server, how are things? If a child becomes humble, what will be the subject? If every child is in obedience to God, as best we could youth conventions? Of course, developing an attitude of Christ, as in their group starts showing an attitude similar to Christ in his life.5. Developing the quality of leadership of the group. Jesus calls his followers to? Follow me. At the end of his ministry had trained to lead. Paul came to say? I imitate imitate Christ? (I Corinthians 11:1). Give your young people responsibility and let the lead. Powder and encourage them when they keep going.Here are some ways you can let the kids lead: Devotionals, teaching the class, part of a service project, the formation of prayer groups, etc.6. Support and participation of parents. Believe it or not, in your congregation for the ministry of youth as a divider of parents and children. This would prevent the creation of a high level of parental rights of parents to teach involvement.Have quarterly devotional reception in their homes, travel companion, etc. Output Publishing Group? S 130 ways to involve parents in their ministry for large ideas.7. Adolescent development of evangelization. Refocusing its vision of the training group to see every class, every neighbor, every family member, every employee, every waiter, please fill in the blanks, each ____________ as an opportunity to share the message of Lord.Jesus left in the mouth and our lives. Guide your team of evangelization through the creation of an atmosphere that makes customers want to retu. Going to school and meet their children on the lawn. Be available and open loving.8. Establish positive relationships with other youth groups in the area. If we are not careful can become a ministry of competition in which the leader of the majority of adolescents wins. Therefore, one can be afraid of doing things with other groups for fear that our young people can post something? Refrigerator? what we offer. Do not forget # 4 and the construction of a similar attitude of Christ to do things with other groups, such as prayer or withdrawal nights. One of the easiest ways is to establish positive relationships through participation in community events such as the Sea of Jesus, or collect food and toys for needy families in holidays.9. Include young people as part of the congregation. Have you ever had the perception that the Church exists, then there is the youth group? Integrate the group in the congregation for young people involved in prayer, reading, writing, whatever the format or your church follows. Most churches do not engage young adolescents days. But encourage your leadership to include young people on a regular basis, not just special days.10. Equipping young people to go into all the world and teach the Gospel. While every child has the responsibility to evangelize about them, some feel called to do, literally, all over the world. Preparation for the support in the future and to pray for him or her. Help sponsor teenagers in an annual mission trip experience. Provide contacts through special missions for the organizations involved adolescents. Who knows how many will know the Lord, because of its ministry.Al Millergren, Ph.D. is the co-founder of a Teenagers Life Ministries Appeal   Site for youth ministry.

The Green Face of God

The Green Face of God Christianity has long structures of the natural world with sacred meaning. Every day, material existence? Food and beverage, life and death, man and animals, earth and sky? It is recalled in countless stories and rituals, as the primary means through which God relates to humanity and the earth broader community.Christianity? s central ritual is a group dinner, remember that saving death of Jesus, to celebrate the gift of creation? Eating bread and drinking wine. The central symbol is a wooden cross? two wood fixed together as the means and the site of Jesus? Crucifixion. The central belief focuses on the body? namely, that in Jesus God became incaate, and thus to a mortal, breathing life form, the experiences of life? s suffering.And joy and Christianity? Primary sacred document, the Bible, is rich in organic images that emerged from the cosmic potter shaping the first man from the dust on the tree of life brings its fruits to the ground? s inhabitants. Christianity, then? Deep green? o? earth? Religion, because it binds God created to highlight the values and the natural world as a saint of God in the river place.In hand, suppose that the question of Christianity? earth s identity through a nature-based recovery of the Holy Spirit as the green face of God in the world. The Holy Spirit has revealed in biblical literature, as natural, earthly beings, work for humans and other human beings? Solidarity with one another. The natural world? the place of God, as they were? is best, as the main mode of God? Presence in our midst today.Without acute spiritual bond with the earth as the Church of God enfleshment? Presence, it is difficult for Christians and other people of faith, to develop long-term and sustainable relations with the creation of God is good. A partial tu of the appreciation of nature as sacred ground in post-Vatican II papal encyclicals and bishops? pastoral, if the order is understood as a sacrament creates a flat spot of the goodness of God but a residual risk anthropocentric prejudice in contemporary Catholic thought? namely, that the purpose of creation is human flourishing? prevented a tour biocentric holiness or sacred value to the sale created the earth order.In theology suggest Christianity? s? Nature religions? The identity is awakened by the old ideas of the incaation and the Spirit? The Bible teaches that God is beyond all things, God is radically enfleshed in all things. In addition to a deep green reawakening of Christianity? S central teachings, it is impossible to make a spiritual connection to the earth load which is our common home and common destiny. Without this context, the prospects of saving the planet, and thus save us, not the good.It? S element, dearWhile my Christianity? S original identity and essential nature of the body-centered love, this thesis has always been at odds with a residual maturity of Platonic tendency within Christian theology to emphasize the spirit or higher or as a matter of authority. But rather as a priority of the spiritual on the ground, writing numbers, the Holy Spirit as a caal, creatures always in the form of life already interpenetrated by the material world. In fact, the Bible with paintings of the Holy Spirit to borrow directly from the natural world. The four traditional elements of nature, life incaate? Earth, air, water and fire? are constitutive of the Holy Spirit? s biblical reality enfleshed care, minister of God? s creation.As earth, the Holy Spirit is the divine bird with an olive branch in its beak, peace and renewal to a broken world, and fruit holder? such as a tree or vine? Yields, the virtues of love, joy and peace in the lives of students. Like a bird or a tree in bloom, the Holy Spirit is a living beings who share a common physical reality with all other beings. Away from that? Immaterial substance? by the canonical theological lexicon, the Holy Spirit is thought of in the Bible as a material, land form of life that God gives? s for the other creatures of the earth with their physical presence.As air, the Holy Spirit is the breath of life that animates all living beings and prophetic wind that brings healing and new life that indwells. The names for the Holy Spirit in the biblical texts? r? ach in Hebrew and greek tires? mean? Breathing? ? Air? o? Wind. Literally, the Holy Spirit is pneumatic, a powerful air driven reality analogous to a pneumatic drill or pump. The Holy Spirit is God? S included in the antenna-giving atmosphere that envelops and sustains the whole earth. As such, the Holy Spirit escapes the horizon of human activity and not by the people. The Spirit is the divine wind? The breath of God? that blows where it wants, with its elemental power and independent human attempts to control, update and renew-Ing broke all the members of order.As created the living water, the Spirit and Quicken update all beverages, from his eteal feathers. As physical and spiritual nourishment, the Holy Spirit is God who gives all the vital fluid that flows with the body fluids, the divine presence and power. Moreover, the water goes to God, and is traveling in soaking rain, dewy mist, hot springs, mud holes, filter, ancient headwaters, wetlands and marshes Hydrospheric oceans of the earth. The Holy Spirit as water allows the wonderful succulence of life as we know on a planet by promoting sustainable pattes.Finally flow of liquid, for example, the fire, the Holy Spirit is the bright flame that alteately judges and criminals will tu on the mission of the Church . The fire is the expression of God? S close to power. On the one hand, the Bible is God as the element used to punish human error. But it is also the symbol of God? S unification of the young Christian community, where the divine tires? take the wind of God? It is said that the early church as full members of the Spirit, symbolized by, as stated in Acts 2:3,? Tongues of fire [was], and distributed to each? of the first members of the Church. Outliers, subversive creative and destructive, God as a buing fire and roasted, who and what they are apart from human intervention and design? as the divine wind that blows where wills.God the spirit of the Bible according to the tropics of the earth, wind, water and fire. The Earth? S water, communities of plants and animals, and the outbreaks of fire and wind shares in the Holy Spirit? S type, as no enfleshed by natural landscapes and biological communities. The Holy Spirit is a reality of the earth? God? S power on earth and heaven, all things live and grow toward their natural ends. God is on earth, swimming through the oceans, the atmosphere. God is always the way and under, as the force of life, the desire, all the inhabitants of the earth in our holy and good fruit being.Idolatrous ecologyPope John Paul II and many bishops? and many leading non-Catholic religious traditions? have opened new avenues in the religious context, stressing the biblical story of creation and the ethics of respect for life as of fundamental importance for a moral response to the ecological crisis. The New Year 1990, Pope John Paul II issued? The ecological crisis: a shared responsibility. A year later, U. S. Catholic bishops announced? Renewal of the earth? in response to the crisis. These statements and others emphasize the goodness of God? S and that the creation of Adam and Eve were God? S image, where the rule on the earth with truth and love. Sin, but destroyed and this divine institution has suffered as a result of human beings? Decisions on the continuation not to live in harmony with the Creator? Floor. Pope John Paul and bishops have the environmental crisis as a moral teaching crisis.Catholic human social welfare priorities, such as the basic standard for the preservation of wealth creation. In 1990 the World Day of Peace address, Pope John Paul has taken this point into the language of a moral first principle:? Respect for life, and especially for human dignity, is an essential guide for every type of sound economic, industrial or scientific progress. The pope and bishops, finding that the people at the heart of environmental performance? in effect? for the extension of non-moral human creatures.The logic is that, according to the needs of the human community is assured, people will be empowered to achieve in the field of justice and compassion to the wider biotic community. On the Inteational Day of Peace in 1999, the Pope makes a similar point? Placing human well-being at the center of conce for the environment is really the safest way to protect the creation, in fact, promotes the responsibility of the individual in relation to natural resources and their judicious use. E 'understand why they consider the human dignity at the center of life and the environment. The obvious biblical reasons, and in view of the situation of environmental degradation of most human populations, is the natural position for the restoration of human dignity as the value of a tuing point for the construction of a morally just social and ecological. It is assumed that the flourishing center for environmental protection will have a green halo effect on other beings. Without ecological ecocentric? Catholic social teaching has another reason for the award, based on the totality of the natural order, the highest value for human well-being: Protect ecology Christian erase the differences between man and the other in the manner of creation spirituality. This fear of this kind of spirituality is the full freedom of expression in the bishops? 1991 pastoral statement, which for the creation of a love that is? Organic without ecocentric. Bishops wa? We can not and must care for the land, without mistaking the ultimate object of devotion. This statement illustrates the difference between? Ecological theology? The ranking established that between creator and creation, and? ecocentric theology? ie the risk of excessive veneration of nature as an object of worship, after the Pope and bishops. If there is excessive dialogue with nonreligious environment, integrating the Protestant and Catholic theology, the conces that Christianity disintegrates into a neo-pagan reverence for the earth and that blurs the differences between God, man and the others? Some Christians consider necessary for the proper and orderly relationship with creation. In a word, the indictment against the Green theology is idolatry, which is wrong reverence for creation that God accepts? D as the holder of the highest absolute value. But how well founded, that right? The dignity of man? The focus of the traditional Catholic doctrine? is better ensured by the health of different species are biologically linked by complex relations of power. As a result, decisions regarding the allocation of resources and should focus on ensuring the dynamism and vitality of the energy cycle, not to the specific needs of individual participants in the cycle, including individual human needs. In an interview with conservation biology from a religious perspective, we humans need to understand how the citizens of equal biotic regulation, not as lords of creation, which has more value than other beings.Critics This subordination of conce for the well-being everything as a dangerous flattening large differences, even a kind ecofascism in which people are now of interest? or subject? the orbit of the ecosystemic interests. The point is not that human happiness is UNIMIKE green-gen systems in theology, but without the well-being of the whole conce, attention to human needs and interests is not possible. Honestly, if the global pattes of energy flow due to interruptions ecocatastrophe our making, then our discussions about the fact that human beings are more valuable to others who seem academic at best and, in the worst cases, the mind-set very contributory brought the collapse of the first place.Home God? s presenceIf earth theology is at the center of gravity toward ecosystem well-being rather than as human flourishing that has made a kind of idolatry or paganism dare not speak its name to that? I think not. The witness of Scripture and tradition in the world as the abode of divinity, the colonization of the life-giving spirit, the house of God? Presence, in which the rhythms and vitality of daily life are sacred. All life is sacred, because the Earth is a natural system of life with God? Presence of well-being of all who things.God? S gift to all people is very complex, where the Earth's biological diversity is the very life in all its fecundity and passion. Holiness inheres in the God-given capacity of plants and animals to store and back on the food chain in which we all depend. God as Spirit is the green power on earth, life-food chains, preferably the flow of energy for all us.It not blasphemous, so to say that nature is sacred. It is not wrong to find God? Presence in all things. To speak in animistic terms, it is not wrong, again as Christianity has continued with the world of the first people to witness the divinity and experts around the world? seen and heard the spirit lives in every stone, tree, animal and the body of water, which have path. God is holy, God and all that holiness. So if you work for the protection and care of God? S good facilities, we are investing all the things with the highest value as a loving extension of God? Bounty and compassion.Sacred S, then our position on earth. Is the Holy Land, where you are planted. Discover the world of nature as a sacred place has the potential to revive our original sense of the food web, that our kind and others need for daily nourishment and prosperity. This prospect signs of appreciation and continuation of the things that the Christian themes to celebrate the important link between the human and the natural order that supports them.Christians say, the incaation of God in Jesus 2000 years ago, but now throughout the life-web is the incaation of God? Presence through the mind on a daily basis. Christians speak of the miracle of the Eucharist where the bread and wine into Christ? S flesh and blood, but now the whole earth is a sacrament of life full of divine life through the agency of the spirit that animates and unifies all things. Christians speak of the power of the written word of God in which God? S voice be heard by the disceing reader, but now all of nature is the book of God, through which we see God? S face and listen to God? Discourse in the laughter of a bubbling stream, the rush of the wind on a cold winter? s Day, the cry of a red-tailed Hawk, as he takes his prey and the silence of a movement monarch butterfly flitting from one milkweed plant another.In the heat of the sun, the encircling protection of heaven, the power of large oceans and the fertility of the country, we have everything we need to get our relationship with the Holy Spirit and the Earth.Mark I.
