14th march 2016 What is Goodness (in the fruit of the holy spirit)
Goodness is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. It is a moral characteristic described as uprightness of heart and life that benefits others through acts like confronting sin, helping the poor, and praying for enemies. Goodness expresses God's nature and requires Christians to transmit His goodness to others through righteous deeds motivated by faith. Every good thing comes from God, so Christians must allow the Holy Spirit to direct them and share what they have learned from God's word and good works with others, so that people may glorify God.
Who is God to you?
The document discusses the nature of God and one's relationship with God. It prompts self-reflection on identity, beliefs, habits, and how often one spends time with God. It encourages allowing God to accompany one in facing wounds. It then lists many affirming identities a person has as a child of God, member of Christ's body, and saint. It affirms that through Christ, one is free from condemnation, cannot be separated from God's love, and is God's workmanship.
TMIY - Becoming a Man after God's Own Heart - Week 7
This document discusses developing integrity of action through maintaining clarity of thought and remaining united to God. It addresses integrity of action in leadership, marriage, and parenting by uniting oneself and one's family to Christ. The key aspects are:
1) The path to authentic leadership involves clarity of thought and integrity of action through maintaining unity with God.
2) Integrity of action in marriage requires possessing oneself to give oneself freely in commitment to one's spouse through binding the marriage to Christ.
3) Parenting with integrity means accepting children from God and uniting them to Christ so they can attain their full potential.
Presentation1
(1) The document discusses the importance of thanksgiving to God. It notes that thanksgiving draws our hearts to God, takes attention away from ourselves, and gives the Holy Spirit room in our hearts.
(2) It provides several reasons to give thanks to God, including that it unlocks doors, brings showers of blessings, strengthens faith and dependence on God, and keeps our lives clear of darkness, anxiety, sin, and deception.
(3) The document outlines ways to show thanksgiving to God, such as remembering him through our thoughts, words and deeds; identifying his lordship over our lives; reflecting on what he has done for us; giving thanks in prayer; and praising him
MinistryPurposeStatement
1) The document is the ministry statement of M. Barrett Davis, outlining their view that God is reconciling all things through Christ by creating unity between once-divided humans.
2) Davis believes God is achieving this through personal and communal love in the church, breaking down divisions in the still-divided world. This love and unity is the purpose of the church and the way of peace for all humanity.
3) Davis' purpose is to create spaces, like the house church they found peace in, where people can pray, grieve, celebrate, and be in relationship with God and each other through Christ, guided into this reconciling love.
A clean house for a holy guest
This document provides guidance on having a clean home for the Holy Spirit through four steps: seeking God earnestly in prayer, contemplating Christ's character daily, repenting through confession and forgiveness, and opening one's heart to the Holy Spirit's transforming power by overcoming worldliness. It emphasizes that having a clean heart is necessary for receiving the Holy Spirit and experiencing spiritual life and growth. The document cautions that some may be involved in the church but not have their names written in the Lamb's book of life if they are spiritually dead due to unrepented sins.

What is God Like? Brad Jersak introduces his latest book 'A More Christlike God'
What is God like? 'Believers' and atheists alike often carry and finally reject the toxic images of God in their own hearts. Whether our notions of 'god' are personal projections or inherited traditions, author and theologian Brad Jersak proposes a radical reassessment, arguing for A More Christlike God: a More Beautiful Gospel. If Christ is "the image of the invisible God, the radiance of God's glory and exact representation of God's likeness," what if we conceived of God as completely Christlike—the perfect Incarnation of self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love? The implications could be surprising and wonderful!

131116 eng i wish i knew series (part 6 - healthy dating life) by ps. steven...
This document discusses building a healthy dating life. It suggests that a strong relationship begins with developing yourself spiritually by accepting yourself as God created you, pursuing God as a single person, and building good character. When dating, the focus should be on spiritual growth together rather than whether the other person is "right." It's important to date with purpose rather than status, go slowly in relationships to keep intimacy pure, and seek counsel from others. The goal is to glorify God in dating.
KEEP CALM AND TAKE UP YOUR CROSS

It lists things Christians should do after receiving salvation, including not conforming to the world, visiting the lost, obeying God and loving him wholeheartedly. However, it notes Christians often do the opposite and love sin instead. It closes with warnings about the last days and exhortations to pursue righteousness and call on God with pure hearts.

This document provides a weekly quiet time reading plan focused on keeping marriages intact by avoiding adultery. Over the course of five days, it examines various Bible passages that teach: 1) God takes adultery seriously and it affects everyone; 2) Adultery begins in the heart and eyes, so we must guard our eyes and thoughts; 3) Israel's downfall was seeking other desires over God, so we must not follow their example and instead fill our lives with Jesus. The overall motivation for obeying God and avoiding adultery is out of love and faithfulness to Jesus, who was faithful to die for our sins.

Print to Web-only
This document is a presentation about transitioning a student newspaper to a digital format. It discusses the need to embrace new technologies like smartphones, tablets, and social media as younger generations are increasingly getting their news online rather than from print sources. It provides tips for creating a website using WordPress, engaging audiences through video and social media, analyzing web traffic, and marketing to readers in the digital age.

Doing Christmas Right
Pastor Marty Duncan provides four ways to properly celebrate Christmas based on scripture:
1. Celebrate God's faithfulness by remembering his promise to send a savior as mentioned in Matthew 1:1-21.
2. Celebrate God's inclusiveness by sharing the message of Jesus' love for all people regardless of differences as seen in Luke 19:10.
3. Celebrate God's sovereignty by trusting that nothing happens without God allowing it as referenced in Matthew 1:7-15.
4. Celebrate God's salvation through Jesus, who the scriptures say provides salvation, as written in Matthew 1:16-21.
Can You Trust God
Trusting God can be difficult because His ways don't always make sense to humans and His timetable is different than ours. To truly trust God, one must surrender their will, ideas, desires and future to Him even though His plans aren't always clear. However, God never fails and His people should not be afraid because God is with them and will not forsake them.
I Will
The document discusses answering God's call by being willing to do whatever God asks, go wherever God sends, use any resources God provides, and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in order to receive God's blessings. It encourages being open to every opportunity and ready to fulfill God's will.
A Pattern of Friendship
This document outlines the characteristics of a good friend based on a sermon by Pastor Marty Duncan. It describes a friend as a companion who likes you for who you are and shares your interests, as a collaborator who supports you through life's challenges, and as a confidant who is trustworthy, defends you from attacks, and loves you. It encourages the reader to make friendship a priority, open up to close friends, offer help without waiting to be asked, and to never take friendships for granted.
Steps in Becoming an Encourager
There are four steps to becoming an encourager: 1) Be word aware and recognize the power of words to change hurts and patterns, 2) See people for their potential rather than just their current situation, 3) Take responsibility for the words you use and how they can affect others, 4) Make sure you have positive words ("reservoir full") to share and are mindful that words also carry liability.
Are You Rich?
The document discusses wealth and being rich. It argues that believers should acknowledge the gifts and blessings God has given them, including wealth, and use their resources to do good works and help others rather than becoming arrogant or distracted. True riches come from putting one's hope in God rather than material possessions.
How Deep Is Your Love
The document is a sermon about the nature of love based on 1 Corinthians 13. It lists characteristics of love from the passage, including being patient, kind, not jealous or boastful, not rude or selfish. Love is not provoked, does not keep score of sins, takes no delight in sin but seeks truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things, never failing. True love forgets self, knows no danger, and does not count the cost, as exemplified by Jesus giving his all.
Time In a Bottle
The document discusses time management and priorities in life. It recommends putting God first above all other priorities, then people through relationships, then using one's gifts and talents for God's glory through their calling, and finally finding joy through enjoying life and sharing joy with others. It cautions that being too busy is no excuse for not making time for and knowing God better. It encourages the reader to strip away anything holding them back from fully embracing their faith.
Sizzle jQCon San Francisco 2012
The document discusses improvements and changes to the Sizzle selector engine in jQuery 1.8. Key points include:
- Matching and filtering performance improved by around 10% on average.
- ID selections rooted at an element improved by 300%.
- Bugs were fixed in how different browsers handle certain selectors with querySelectorAll and matchesSelector.
- Support for combining multiple combinators in selectors was improved.
- More changes are planned prior to release, including implementing a compiler to avoid re-looping elements.
Kaleo
We are called to care for others as Christ cared for us. This means caring for those in need, both physical and spiritual needs. It also means having compassion like Jesus, which may require interrupting our schedules or spending resources to help others. When we get close to Jesus through following His example of compassion, we will naturally care about and for others as He did. The church should be known as a place where people genuinely care for one another.
Armor of God
The document discusses the armor of God described in Ephesians 6:10-18. It explains that as soldiers wear armor into battle, Christians must also wear spiritual armor in their battle against evil forces. The armor of God includes the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Christians are instructed to pray in the Spirit at all times as they fight with this armor.

Thanksgiving.pptx
1) Gratitude is a habit of looking at the world with appreciation for all good things, regardless of one's situation. It attracts more things to be grateful for into one's life.
2) While it's easy to take for granted daily gifts like air, health, and relationships, there is always something to be thankful for. Gratitude draws us closer to God by focusing on Him and others rather than ourselves.
3) Practicing gratitude through prayer and thankfulness for all things, including difficulties, can help us appreciate good times more and develop endurance and trust in God.
Quiet times 3.4to8.13
This document provides daily passages and reflections for the week to help focus on having a closer walk with God through prayer. It discusses prayer as a lifestyle rather than a destination and encourages setting aside time each day, including secret prayer away from distractions, to strengthen the relationship with God through prayer, thanksgiving, seeking guidance, and memorizing scripture about prayer. The overall message is that regular prayer can help one experience God's peace, care, and the life He intends for us.
17-facts-about-thankfulness Mike Murdock
This document is a chapter from a book about thankfulness. It discusses 17 facts about the power of having a thankful attitude. Some key points include:
- Thankfulness is more powerful than gifts or talents and determines whether one multiplies their blessings or sees them decrease.
- Choosing to focus on the good things in life leads to feelings of thankfulness. Thankful people focus on blessings rather than problems.
- The thankful are always triumphant, as shown through biblical examples like Ruth and King Ahasuerus expressing gratitude for kindness. The Apostle Paul also frequently expressed thankfulness.
- Maintaining an attitude of thankfulness attracts favor and spiritual blessings into one's life from God.

Unit 5 assignment prayer
Prayer is a form of communication with God that provides several benefits. It helps strengthen one's spiritual connection, brings peace and happiness, and reduces stress and depression. There are different types of prayers, including intercessory prayer for others, prayers of supplication which make requests, and prayers of thanksgiving to express gratitude. Maintaining a practice of daily prayer is important for spiritual growth and getting through life's challenges.
06 June 17, 2012 Philippians, Chapter 4, Verse 6
This document provides commentary on Philippians 4:6-7. It discusses what it means not to worry and instead bring everything to God in prayer with a thankful heart. It defines worry as rumination without action, while concern is solution-oriented. True prayer involves adoration, supplication, and thanksgiving. When we pray this way, allowing God's love, wisdom and power to guard our hearts and minds, we experience the peace of God that surpasses understanding.

Your friend is struggling and doubts the power of prayer. You can encourage her by comparing learning to pray well with learning a foreign language, which requires practice and effort over time. Also remind her that as children of God, we can receive personal revelation through sincere prayer to help with all our challenges, large and small, if we learn to recognize and follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost.
COMPUTER SUBJECT: God is so good to me
This document is a collection of passages from various sources discussing the importance of having an attitude of thankfulness towards God. It explains that being unthankful for difficult experiences is a sign that one's heart does not fully love God, as God is ultimately in control of all things. It encourages the reader to choose thankfulness even during hard times, trusting that God will work all things together for good. Thankfulness allows one to enter God's presence and prevents painful experiences from becoming "idols" that one remains in bondage to.

06 June 17, 2012 Philippians, Chapter 4 Verse 6
This sermon discusses worry and provides remedies based on Philippians 4:6-7. It defines worry as rumination without progress on issues, while concern is solution-oriented. The passage encourages bringing all concerns to God through prayer with thanksgiving. When believers do this, reacting to problems with prayer instead of worry, God's peace will guard their hearts and minds as it surpasses all understanding. The sermon emphasizes trusting God's love, wisdom and power over circumstances.
Choose thanks part 2 (think thanks philippians 4 1 9)
The document contains excerpts from Philippians 4 discussing standing firm in faith, rejoicing, gentleness, prayer, thinking on noble things, and putting teachings into practice. It encourages changing one's thinking to focus on rejoicing, God's nearness, and positivity instead of anxiety by considering God's peace and presence. Changing thoughts can change feelings from being hostage to circumstances by maintaining a defiant spirit of rejoicing in the Lord.
Our Ongoing Formation
Last talk in The Emmaus prayer meeting for series "Vocation and Mission of Laity in the Church and the World Today", topic: Our Ongoing Formation
prayer (1)
Prayer is important because it helps connect us to God's presence even when life gets busy. Though God is always with us, prayer brings our relationship with God to the foreground of our consciousness. Prayer can take the form of a heartfelt turning toward heaven in recognition of God's love for us. It responds to God's thirst for a relationship with us. When we pray, we realize that we already possess a bond with God and don't need to seek it elsewhere. Pope Francis emphasizes that studying religion without prayer is ineffective, and that we come to truly know Jesus through praying to him.

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
