Indispensable Christians
Jephthah was an indispensable leader in the Bible who overcame rejection. He lived in "good" lands despite being cast out by his family. When his people needed a leader for war, they sought him out because he was known as a "mighty man of valor" who showed courage in adversity. Jephthah was also anointed by the Spirit of God, which empowered him to break the yoke of their enemies. The document argues that to be indispensable Christians today, believers must dwell in positivity despite hardship, be courageous through challenges, and rely on God's anointing for victory.

Jesus' example on the cross shows how to respond to those who hurt us by forgiving them and leaving judgment in God's hands.

06 June 29, 2014, Ezekiel 25 32, Sin of Pride & Rejoicing in the Misery of Ot...First Baptist Church Jackson
The document is a summary of a sermon about pride and rejoicing in the misery of others. It discusses how God judges foreign nations that mocked Israel through the prophet Ezekiel. Specifically, it discusses prophecies against Ammon, Tyre, and Babel where people acted pridefully. It defines pride as arrogance and self-exaltation rather than humility before God. While some "pride" can be positive, true humility acknowledges that all glory is due to God alone. The sermon encourages focusing on God and others rather than oneself to avoid sinful pride.06 June 29, 2014, Ezekiel 25 32, Sin of Pride & Rejoicing in the Misery of Ot...
06 June 29, 2014, Ezekiel 25 32, Sin of Pride & Rejoicing in the Misery of Ot...First Baptist Church Jackson
This sermon discusses the sins of pride and rejoicing in the misery of others. It analyzes passages from Ezekiel that prophesy God's judgment against neighboring nations including Ammon and Tyre for these sins. The sermon defines pride as arrogance, conceit, and self-exaltation that attributes glory due to God alone. It argues there is a difference between good pride in accomplishments and sinful pride that is rebellion against God. The sermon concludes by contrasting pride, which focuses on self-glory, with humility, which turns attention to God's glory and serving others.Psalm 42-43
The psalmist expresses deep feelings of depression and despair as their soul pants for God like a deer pants for water. They mourn being separated from God and the joy of worshipping with God's people. Though oppressed by enemies who mock their faith, the psalmist remembers God and preaches hope to their own soul, vowing to praise God who is their stronghold, savior and joy. They pray that God would vindicate, rescue and bring them into his light and presence once more.
07 depression
This document discusses depression from a biblical perspective. It provides examples of depression in biblical figures like David, Hezekiah, Asaph, and Elijah by citing passages where they express symptoms of depression like hopelessness, sadness, fatigue, and longing for God. The document also discusses how to treat a depressed person with compassion instead of judgment. It recommends finding relief through prayer, talking to others, helping others, and turning to God and professionals for help when depression has physical causes or is due to sin. The overall message is that God provides hope and solutions for depression through faith, forgiveness, and seeking his mercy and grace.
Getting Addicted To God
The document discusses becoming "addicted to God" by developing habits of reading the Bible, praising God, prayer, fellowship, sharing one's faith, giving, appreciating nature, and withdrawal symptoms being countered by the fruits of the spirit like love, joy, peace and self-control. It encourages developing addictions to spiritual disciplines and experiencing God through them as described in Psalms and other Bible passages.

Psalm42 43
This document discusses dealing with depression through examining Psalms 42-43. It summarizes that the Psalms describe common symptoms of depression like extreme unhappiness, weeping, loss of appetite and joy. It notes common triggers as being taunted, losses, oppression by enemies and challenges without answers. The Psalms provide guidance for dealing with depression by drawing near to God, analyzing what is causing struggles, stirring faith in God, encouraging oneself with biblical truths, fixing hope on God as one's life and source of joy, and praying.

Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.
Ot lesson31
This document provides details about an upcoming Old Testament Sunday School lesson and contact information for the teacher, Daniel Burgess. It then shares the outline and content of the lesson titled "Happy Is the Man That Findeth Wisdom". The lesson discusses topics like wisdom, trust in the Lord, friendship, raising children, and happiness. It includes several scripture references from Proverbs.
There Is Still Hope’
This document provides encouragement for those feeling down or distressed. It summarizes a passage from Psalm 42 where David expresses despair but chooses to hope in God. The document urges readers to remember that even in tough times, God remains in control and wants to help. It encourages lifting one's voice in praise, as praise acknowledges God's past help and says the work of salvation is finished through Christ. The rock higher than oneself is Jesus, who is an anchor, shelter, and strong tower during difficult periods.
Praiseworthy Psalm 138
This document discusses a psalm praising God. It examines verses that praise God for his unfailing love and faithfulness to his promises. God's name reflects his faithful character. Kings will thank God for his words and sing of his glory. God cares for the humble but keeps his distance from the proud. The psalmist is surrounded by troubles but God will protect and save through his power. God works out his plans for lives out of his enduring love.
How long
The document discusses how David deals with disappointment and sorrow in Psalms 13, 42, and 43. It summarizes that David (1) cries out to God in his distress, (2) remembers God's faithfulness, and (3) ultimately finds joy and praise for God again. The key lessons are that when facing difficulties, we should go straight to God, trust in His unfailing love, and we can be assured that our mourning will one day turn to dancing.
Cross Training: Part 1 - Prayer
This is the first of the 4 part series of Cross Training - Spiritual Disciplines for Christian Maturity. This lesson is about DEVOTION, prayer and reading God's word.
Moses17
The document discusses how to become a worshipper of God. It suggests training yourself through regularly engaging in worship activities like singing worship songs, using nature as a trigger to inspire worship, memorizing Scripture, and reading Scripture passages. Transforming your mind by renewing it through these practices will help you worship God by focusing on what He has done and who He is.
The ministry of giving comfort 2
The document discusses how God provides comfort through Scripture, the church, and others. It examines Old and New Testament meanings of comfort, including supporting, strengthening, soothing, and encouraging. Comfort can be impeded by refusing to face sin, seeking comfort in wrong places rather than God, being criticized rather than encouraged, and turning to addictions. Lastly, it argues that lasting comfort is only found in Jesus Christ, who reveals God and truth.
Guard your heart i
February is National Heart Awareness Month. It is meant to cause the nation to take note of the seriousness of heart disease and to be reminded about those things that promote heart health. It is wise in a spiritual sense to take time and do the same relative to our spiritual hearts. This is what this study is designed to do.

They shared the Lord's Supper | Neil Bester | 22 January 2017
1) The document discusses the history and significance of communion and the Lord's Supper in the Bible and early church.
2) It describes how Jesus established the tradition of the Last Supper and its symbolism of bread and wine representing his body and blood.
3) It summarizes Paul's teachings to the Corinthians about properly discerning and partaking in communion as a unified community, rather than exacerbating divisions, to avoid bringing judgment on themselves.
But the Church prayed | Louis Kotze | 15 January 2017
Even though we know prayer is vital, it’s not always the easiest habit to maintain. Jesus’ teaching on prayer is recorded in Scripture, so let’s look at His instructions and grow in this area.
Pray God-Sized Prayers | Louis Kotze | 8 January 2017
This document encourages believers to pray bold, ambitious prayers that are worthy of God's power and glory. It notes that God calls us to ask Him for "great and mighty things" we don't even know, and cites examples from the Bible of individuals like Jabez who asked God for big blessings. The document suggests praying for inheritance over nations and possession of the earth, and notes that the early church prayed earnestly for Peter's release from prison. The overall message is that Christians should pray God-sized prayers that reflect our faith in a BIG God who can do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.
New Year's Day | Louis Kotze | 1 January 2017
We serve a big God who wants us to think big, ask boldly and expect Him to do even bigger than we could imagine!
Emmanuel - God With Us | Louis Kotze | 25 December 2016
God loved the world so much that he sent his one and only Son, Jesus, so that all who believe in him will not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son to condemn the world but to save it, so that through believing in Jesus, one can have eternal life and be put right with God. The Bible warns that those who touch Israel, whom God calls the apple of his eye, will face His judgment and wrath.
More To Jesus | Neil Bester | 18 December 2016
John was one of Jesus's inner circle who was with him from the beginning. He took care of Mary after Jesus's death and authored the Gospel of John and the book of Revelation. As an elder in the church at Ephesus, John was exiled to the island of Patmos where he received a revelation from Jesus about what must soon take place.
Living in the fear of the Lord | Letsholo Pelesi | 4 December 2016
The document discusses the fear of the Lord and what it means to live in the fear of the Lord. It explains that the fear of the Lord is living in awe, respect, and honor towards God, putting Him first in life. It outlines three things about living in the fear of the Lord: having the right attitude of listening to God and treasuring His commands, taking the right actions of obeying God and walking with integrity, and receiving rewards like joy, wisdom, and avoidance of evil.
Wisdom For Life : Family Matters Part 2 | Louis Kotze | 27 November 2016
This document discusses building a strong family through wisdom, knowledge, and focusing on fear of the Lord, love, and peace. It notes that righteous families will be blessed and children should be taught God's words from youth. It outlines five phases of parenting from infant to caring for adult children and emphasizes disciplining children with love to bring peace and joy. Parents are advised to have clear rules without rebellion, choose battles wisely, and admit mistakes while setting expectations to help children fulfill their purpose.
Wisdom For Life : Family Matters | Louis Kotze
This document discusses the importance of family according to passages from Proverbs. It notes that wisdom builds a strong house and family, while trouble within the family inherits trouble. It is better to have little with peace than great wealth with turmoil. A meal with loved ones is better than a feast with those you hate. Righteousness blesses one's children. Disciplining children brings peace of mind. Training children in the right way leads them not to depart from it when older.
Wisdom For Life: True Beauty | Louis Kotze
This document discusses two Bible verses about God's love for the world and his plan for salvation. John 3:16 describes how God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, Jesus, so that all who believe in him will have eternal life rather than perish. John 12:27-28 recounts Jesus expressing troubled feelings about his coming crucifixion but submitting to God's will, and a voice from heaven affirming that God will be glorified through this event.
Priceless Promise: Priceless Sowing | Louis Kotze
This document contains excerpts from the Bible discussing faith and the future. Hebrews 13 encourages having faith in God rather than fearing people. Hebrews 12 says to run the race of life with endurance, fixing eyes on Jesus. James 4 warns that people should not presume what tomorrow will bring and instead say "if the Lord wills." Revelation 21 describes God making all things new and wiping away tears in heaven. Philippians 3 says to forget the past and press on toward perfection through Christ.
Responding to God's Priceless Promises | Neil Bester | 30 October 2016
This document summarizes key points from 2 Peter 1:1-11 about responding to God's promises. It discusses how:
God has given us everything we need through His power to live godly lives and receive great promises. These promises allow us to share in God's divine nature. We are called to make every effort to respond to God's promises through faith and growing in excellence, knowledge, self-control, godliness, love and more. Responding to God's promises leads to hope, growth, and being chosen for God's eternal kingdom.
Vision Sunday | Louis Kotze | 23 October 2016
The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of exercise on memory and thinking abilities in older adults. The study found that regular exercise can help reduce the decline in thinking abilities that often occurs with age. Older adults who exercised regularly performed better on cognitive tests and brain scans showed they had greater activity in important areas for memory and learning compared to less active peers.
Wisdom from Proverbs on money
The document discusses biblical wisdom from Proverbs regarding handling money. It notes that God owns everything and gives people the ability to earn wealth. It advises planning, being patient in the money process, and following principles like honoring God, being generous, and avoiding deceitful ways of obtaining money. The main points are to plan financially, be patient in the process of earning and achieving money goals, and follow biblical principles for responsible money management.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewi...Hatfield Christian Church
This document discusses the ideas of strength and honour. Strength refers to personal qualities while honour refers to respect in battle. It provides biblical sources that discuss drawing strength from God, his word, and remaining in him. It notes examples from the Bible where people were not alone even in difficult times and encourages remembering that God loves us. It concludes by discussing showing honour to others.Wise Ties: Ties to Authorities | Neil Bester | 18 September 2016
The document discusses authority in God's kingdom and how Christians should respond to authority. It notes that authority was God's idea and should be exercised as a servant who will give an account. Believers should live under authority prayerfully, obediently, and with a respectful heart. At home, children should honor their parents, and beyond home, how one exercises and responds to authority is part of their Christian testimony and obedience to God.
Wisdom for Life: Wise Ties | Louis Kotze | 04 September
‘Towers’, ‘tragedy’ and even ‘terrorism’ are often words used to describe relationships between different nations and people groups. Is it really possible for diverse people to live together in unity?
Wisdom for Life: Wise Words | Louis Kotze | 28 August 2016
The book of Proverbs warns us not to stray to the left or the right from the path of wisdom. Let’s look at how we can avoid veering off course.
Wisdom for Life: Words from the Heart | Neil Bester
The document discusses how words originate from the heart and can have powerful effects. It notes that words guided by wisdom promote life but uncontrolled words can spread evil like fire. While the tongue is small, it can steer one's life and corrupt the whole body. Words have the power to praise God and curse people, so we must be careful. Ultimately, words spoken in truth and moderation can bring healing and life to communities.
Wisdom for Life: Wise Words | Louis Kotze
Are you a good communicator? Are you able to put into words what is in your heart and able to understand what others are saying? Let’s see if the book of Proverbs can help us improve our communication.

sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
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.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
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.

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.
OM Meditation - ultimate meditation technique
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
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).

He Dies Slowly Slideshow by: Kal-el Marcus
Don't let yourself die slowly!
Don't keep yourself from being happy!
-- Pablo Neruda
(Translated from Spanish)
The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docx
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.
