3. When done correctly, spiritual formation establishes the necessary spiritual foundation for the church to engage in the SP process and effectively carry out its mission.
Globalization, debt relief and poverty reductionitargeting
This document discusses globalization, debt relief, and poverty reduction. It provides historical context on the phases of development that nations have gone through, from periods of growth to accumulating debt crises. Structural adjustment programs imposed harsh austerity with limited success in stimulating growth or reducing poverty. This led to debt relief initiatives like the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative to reduce debt burdens and free up resources for poverty reduction. However, debt relief must be accompanied by complementary domestic reforms and external policies to prevent countries from falling back into debt and sustain growth. The relationship between debt relief and poverty reduction is complex and requires a holistic political economy approach.
This document discusses the complex relationship between business and poverty in the context of economic globalization. It explores different perspectives on whether and how business can address poverty, from seeing the poor as a business opportunity to arguments that business exploits poverty. The key points are:
1) There are differing views on whether companies should simply operate according to laws and markets or consciously address poverty, and business interacts with poverty in multiple ways as both a potential cause and victim of poverty.
2) Poverty has economic, social, political and other dimensions, so it cannot be defined or addressed solely in monetary terms.
3) While some argue free markets will eliminate poverty over time, others see ongoing issues of inequality and the need
Millard Fuller was born in 1935 in Alabama and became a self-made millionaire by age 29 as a successful businessman and lawyer. In 1968, he gave up his wealth to focus on Christian service. In 1976, he co-founded Habitat for Humanity with his wife Linda to help eliminate poverty housing worldwide by building simple, decent homes with homeowners and volunteers. Habitat has since built over 1 million homes providing shelter for over 5 million people in over 70 countries.
The passage discusses the motivations for preaching the gospel. It references the love of Christ compelling believers to preach for the salvation of all people. It also mentions the responsibility of being an ambassador for Christ and feeling a debt to both Jews and Gentiles. The passage expresses a desire for one's own people to be saved from accursedness and a sense of necessity and woe to preach the gospel. Overall it conveys a serious responsibility and desire to preach the gospel out of love, duty, and concern for the salvation of others.

This document discusses overcoming spiritual stagnation through obedience to God. It argues that obedience brings blessing, while disobedience or stagnation has costs. True obedience requires dependence on God through prayer. When people obey God, it can have dramatic results like turning the world upside down. The document encourages surrendering one's will to God's will and choosing obedience, no matter the consequences, in order to allow God to accomplish great things. It suggests practicing spiritual disciplines and getting involved in serving the church and community through time, resources, and sharing one's faith as ways to overcome stagnation.
Poverty alleviation and the environmental governancePari Doll
World population has grown significantly from 1.6 billion in 1900 to over 6 billion in 2003, and is projected to exceed 8 billion by 2025. This rapid population growth, combined with rising incomes in developing countries, is expected to place much greater demands on food and environmental resources. The UN has identified goals around reducing poverty and hunger and ensuring environmental sustainability. South Asia faces particular challenges due to high population density and limited natural resources per capita. Globalization is changing economies in South Asia from agriculture-based to more industrial and service-oriented. This integration risks increased environmental degradation if not managed properly. Strategic policy shifts are needed to empower the poor and engage them as partners in pro-poor environmental governance initiatives.
This document discusses Christian ethics and economics in the context of globalization. It explores different definitions of globalization, the impacts of economic globalization, and alternative perspectives. Some key topics covered include intellectual property rights, climate change, financial markets, power shifts from political institutions to economic ones, and debates around concepts like the common good. The document also examines how globalization may erode community and proposes ways to build community in response, such as through politics, ethics, civil society, new institutions, and extending democracy.
The document discusses the externally focused church movement, which focuses on serving the community rather than just attracting people to church events. It outlines four key characteristics of externally focused churches: 1) they believe Christians don't grow until they begin serving others, 2) they understand the power of service, 3) they partner with other organizations, and 4) they understand the importance of having many willing participants ("critical mass"). The movement aims to fulfill the needs of the city and follow God's mandates through the capacities and callings of the church, with evangelism as the ultimate goal rather than the primary focus.
Isaiah 3 12 they turn you from the path power point church sermonPowerPoint_Sermons
The document discusses a passage from Isaiah 3:12. The passage warns that youths oppress the people and women rule over them. It says that the people's leaders misguide them and turn them from the righteous path.
The document announces a new 6-week Sunday school curriculum from The Bethlehem Institute called "Abortion Is About God: Reframing a Moral Issue". The curriculum aims to provide a biblical and theological foundation for the pro-life cause by asserting that abortion is fundamentally an offense against God as the Creator and that it belittles His glory. It will also celebrate God's sovereignty over life, uphold the goodness of children and parenthood, and proclaim the gospel's offer of mercy. The goal is to awaken the church to see abortion as an assault on those made in God's image and a denial of His supremacy.
This document discusses developing high-capacity leaders in the local church. It outlines three steps to becoming a high-capacity leader: 1) Know why you want to lead, 2) Know how high you want to lead, and 3) Know how good you want to lead. It also discusses the basic competencies and skill levels of leadership, from novice to adept to high-capacity. The goal is to encourage leaders to continually improve and develop their skills.
Topic: Fellowship for Wednesday Night Auditorium Class; February 25, 2015M. Monte Tatom
The document discusses the meaning of fellowship based on passages from the Bible. It begins by defining koinonia as the Greek word for fellowship, sharing, or communion. It then examines verses that describe how believers are called to fellowship with one another through encouraging, serving, accepting and loving one another. The document explores fellowship as sharing spiritual and material blessings. It concludes by reflecting on whether our fellowship allows us to say that our spirit is well, our love for God is strong, and that God walks with us.
Globalization,Rural Sector Transformation, and PovertyJoachim von Braun
This document discusses the effects of globalization on poverty and rural transformation. It provides an overview and conceptual framework for assessing the links between globalization and poverty. The key drivers of globalization are identified as markets and trade, investment and capital flows, and information and innovation. The document examines how these drivers impact poverty and rural economies through increased trade, foreign direct investment, technology adoption, and information access. The summary concludes that while globalization can reduce poverty through economic growth, the impacts are mixed and both winners and losers exist at the household level depending on ability to participate in new opportunities.
This document contains excerpts from the Bible and commentary on cultivating fellowship among believers. It discusses giving thanks for fellow Christians (Philippians 1:3-5), experiencing joy through focusing on others' needs rather than one's own (Philippians 2:4), and the importance of confession, forgiveness, prayer and suffering together as a community united in Christ (James 5:16, Hebrews 10:24-25, 3:12-13). It encourages pursuing fellowship through meeting together, being open about one's life, and interceding for others before God.
This document discusses globalization from multiple perspectives. It defines globalization as the interaction of different parts of the world economically, politically, and culturally. Proponents argue it increases employment and access to cheaper goods, while opponents argue it exploits workers and harms small businesses and farms. Both sides see impacts on jobs and the environment. Benefits are discussed as increased wealth and quality of life through access to foreign goods, while challenges include growing inequality and negative social impacts.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
