2. They are recognized through the holy sacrament of Baptism.
3. They are recognized through the holy Sacrament of the Altar (Communion).
4. They exercise the Office of the Keys publicly through confession and forgiveness of sins.
5. They consecrate Ministers to administer the Word, Sacraments, and Keys.
6. They are recognized through public prayer, praise
The pastor visits a nursing home for worship services. He notices that attendance is growing since they made three changes: 1) Learning residents' names and calling them by name, 2) Arranging seating in a circle so residents can see each other, and 3) Adding trivia games to make worship more fun. One resident asks for prayers to walk again. The pastor reassures him they will pray for that, and look forward to the day when he can walk on streets of gold in heaven.
A man in prison wrote to Our Saviour Lutheran Church asking for money and a Bible. The church sent him a nice leather Bible and a large radio handbook instead of money.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

The pervasiveness of Lying in today's World.pptxniwres
In our interconnected world, lies weave through the fabric of society like hidden threads. We encounter them in politics, media, personal relationships, and even within ourselves. The prevalence of deception raises profound questions about truth, trust, and the human condition.
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

OSLC members, please see the special letters on the next three pages. The first is an
introductory letter from the president of our denomination. The second is a joint
letter signed by many Christian denominational representatives, an Open Letter.
These letters address our position on the current state of affairs regarding the US
government's requirement about health insurance coverage including required
payment for child abortive services. It is easy to dismiss this as "distant", irrelevant or
the making of a mountain out of a molehill. We encourage to read this, to be
informed, to be compassionate and to have ethical convictions based on your faith.
Thank‐you! Pastor Dave
6. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, the Resurrection and the Life.
In response to the incursion of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) into the realm of religious
freedom with its controversial contraceptive mandate issued earlier this year, we are compelled to offer “Free Exercise
of Religion: Putting Beliefs into Practice,” an open letter to our members and, indeed, all Americans.
Twenty-four leaders of religious organizations across the country have joined with us in signing the letter. Together,
these signatories represent more than 10 million American men, women and children. They represent religious
organizations that stand with us in opposition to the contraceptive mandate on the grounds that it is an infringement of
our God-given right to act according to the tenets of our faith.
We are preparing to issue this letter even as we await a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on the constitutionality of the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), a historic piece of legislation meant to extend health coverage to
millions of uninsured Americans. The HHS contraceptive mandate represents one of the reforms included in the law.
The ramifications of the anticipated ruling are, of course, as yet unknown.
That said, our action in authoring this letter is not a statement on the global design of PPACA. As Christians living out
our calling to serve our brothers and sisters with the mercy and love of Jesus Christ, we support and engage in wide-
ranging efforts to restore health and well-being to the sick and suffering.
Thus, this letter specifically is in response to one effect of the contraceptive mandate—one that would require religious
organizations, with only narrowly defined exceptions, to include coverage for contraceptives, including those that could
cause the death of unborn babies, in their employee health plans. This is in direct opposition to a core teaching of The
Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod—that only God gives and takes life.
I encourage you to read the letter and to share it widely.
In Christ,
The Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, President
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod

7. FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION:
Putting Beliefs into Practice
An Open Letter from Religious Leaders in the United States to All Americans
Dear Friends,
Religious institutions are established because of religious beliefs and convictions. Such institutions
include not only churches, synagogues, mosques, and other places of worship, but also schools and
colleges, shelters and community kitchens, adoption agencies and hospitals, organizations that provide
care and services during natural disasters, and countless other organizations that exist to put specific
religious beliefs into practice. Many such organizations have provided services and care to both
members and non‐members of their religious communities since before the Revolutionary War, saving
and improving the lives of countless American citizens.
As religious leaders from a variety of perspectives and communities, we are compelled to make known
our protest against the incursion of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
into the realm of religious liberty. HHS has mandated that religious institutions, with only a narrow
religious exception, must provide access to certain contraceptive benefits, even if the covered
medications or procedures are contradictory to their beliefs. We who oppose the application of this
mandate to religious institutions include not only the leaders of religious groups morally opposed to
contraception, but also leaders of other religious groups that do not share that particular moral
conviction.
That we share an opposition to the mandate to religious institutions while disagreeing about specific
moral teachings is a crucial fact. Religious freedom is the principle on which we stand. Because of
differing understandings of moral and religious authority, people of good will can and often do come to
different conclusions about moral questions. Yet, even we who hold differing convictions on specific
moral issues are united in the conviction that no religious institution should be penalized for refusing to
go against its beliefs. The issue is the First Amendment, not specific moral teachings or specific
products or services.
The HHS mandate implicitly acknowledged that an incursion into religion is involved in the mandate.
However, the narrowness of the proposed exemption is revealing for it applies only to religious
organizations that serve or support their own members. In so doing, the government is establishing
favored and disfavored religious organizations: a privatized religious organization that serves only itself
is exempted from regulation, while one that believes it should also serve the public beyond its
membership is denied a religious exemption. The so‐called accommodation and the subsequent
Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) do little or nothing to alleviate the problem.
No government should tell religious organizations either what to believe or how to put their beliefs into
practice. We indeed hold this to be an unalienable, constitutional right. If freedom of religion is a
constitutional value to be protected, then institutions developed by religious groups to implement their
core beliefs in education, in care for the sick or suffering, and in other tasks must also be protected.
Only by doing so can the free exercise of religion have any meaning. The HHS mandate prevents this
free exercise. For the well‐being of our country, we oppose the application of the contraceptive
mandate to religious institutions and plead for its retraction.
