General revelation refers to the way God reveals himself to all people through nature, humanity, and history. According to the document, general revelation provides some knowledge of God's attributes but is limited and cannot bring about salvation on its own. Special revelation through Scripture is necessary for salvation. The document discusses different views on general revelation and its implications for understanding unbelievers, salvation, missions, and inclusivism. It maintains that while general revelation shows God's existence, people still need to hear the gospel message in order to be saved, and this is why Christians are commanded to do missions work.
This is a study of Jacob experiencing God's presence and yet not being aware that he was in the presence of God. How often do we all forget that we are in His presence. We need to practice being in His presence for He is omnipresent,
Jesus was moved by the faith of friendsGLENN PEASE
Jesus heals a paralyzed man who was brought to him by friends. When Jesus sees the faith of those who lowered the man through the roof to get him to Jesus, he says "Your sins are forgiven." Some scribes question Jesus' authority to forgive sins, but Jesus proves his power by also healing the paralyzed man. The healing demonstrates Jesus' ability to forgive sins as well as heal physical ailments, moving all present.
Zacchaeus, a wealthy tax collector, wanted to see Jesus but was too short to see over the crowd. He climbed a sycamore tree to get a view. When Jesus passed by, he looked up and called Zacchaeus by name, telling him to come down as he planned to stay at his house. Zacchaeus joyfully received Jesus. He promised to give half his possessions to the poor and repay anyone he had cheated four times over, showing the salvation that had come to his house through his encounter with Jesus. The story illustrates Jesus' mission to seek and save the lost.
The document provides commentary on the biblical portion of Sh'lach L'cha. It summarizes that the scouts were sent by Moses to scout the promised land, but they returned with an evil report that discouraged the people and sowed doubt in God's promise. Only Caleb and Joshua had faith that the Israelites could take the land despite the challenges. As a result, God condemned that generation to wander in the wilderness until they died, while Caleb and Joshua would be allowed to enter the promised land.

The document discusses the transformation of Christians into "children of light" through spiritual formation and sanctification. It provides a composite picture of what children of light look like, with positive characteristics in their thoughts, feelings, will, body, social relations and soul. It contrasts this with the picture of darkness. The document emphasizes that transformation occurs as each dimension of the self receives God's grace, and discusses marks of spiritual growth and maturation. It concludes by arguing that true transformation of society depends on more followers of Christ living as lights in the world.

Jesus was choosing zaccheus for salvationGLENN PEASE
Jesus cleansed the temple because it had become a place of business rather than prayer. He was zealous for God's house and rebuked the money changers and animal sellers who had turned it into a marketplace. This showed his reverence for the temple as a sacred place of worship. It also served as a reminder that all people and places dedicated to God must be kept pure and focused on prayer, not worldly concerns.
The representative men of the bible vol. 2GLENN PEASE
This passage discusses the figure of Samuel in the "Great Gallery" of representative biblical men. It argues that religion progresses from the ideal to the actual and from transcendent to immanent. Samuel represents the climax of this progression, as God communicates directly with a child. Samuel's appearance as a prophet startled Israel and showed that spiritual inspiration could come from the least expected places. His story teaches that one must have the openness and wonder of a child to truly see God and understand scripture.
The document discusses Moses' life and faith through three stages:
1. Refusing a sinful life of luxury despite being raised as Pharaoh's grandson, choosing instead to endure ill-treatment with God's people.
2. Leaving Egypt with determination, not fearing Pharaoh's wrath by believing God could protect him.
3. Willingly following God's instructions to put blood on doorposts and lead God's people out of Egypt through the Red Sea, despite seeming strange, in order to demonstrate faith.
This is a study of Jesus as a young child. God sent His Son to be a truly human being needing to go from infancy to adulthood. Jesus lived the childhood life.

This document discusses victory in Christ through His righteousness. It explains that Christ overcame sin through the union of His divinity and humanity. Christians can overcome sin by having living faith in Christ through the Holy Spirit, choosing obedience through love rather than fear. When Christians surrender fully to Christ, allowing His character to be perfectly reproduced in them, then Christ will return to take them to heaven.
The problem is that “growth” outside of the Covenant of the Bride is inconsistent at best. Is the individual truly overcoming sin, or is Satan providing them with false victories to deepen their confidence in their deceptive traditions?
The national-consequences-of-rejecting-the-doctrine-of-sinCristianos Hispanos
This document summarizes a Bible study on rejecting the doctrine of sin. It discusses how sin originated in angels before humanity, was transmitted to humans through Adam and Eve's disobedience, and now infects both individuals and the world. It defines sin as failing to conform to God's moral law in actions, attitudes, and nature. The study argues that properly understanding sin is important for governing authorities to form wise policies. It examines passages showing how sin manifests individually and corporately, corrupting all of creation. The conclusion exhorts applying this by confessing sin personally and forming godly policies that curb social evils.
Christ's coming brings both enlightenment and blindness. Some who were blind receive spiritual sight, while others who think they see are proved blind. The blind man healed in John 9 is used to illustrate both the enlightening and blinding power of Christ. Some key points made are that Christ aims to give sight to the blind, while blindness may come to those who reject the light, and that the gospel acts as a revealer of people's true spiritual state.
This is a study of Jesus being frustrated. He lashed out at the unbelief of everyone in that generation and His own disciples who did not have the faith needed to cast out a demon.
The document discusses how Christians have an unfair disadvantage when battling spiritual forces alone through human effort. It explains that the Holy Spirit provides an advantage by dwelling within believers, allowing Jesus to be present with all Christians at once. Receiving the Holy Spirit after Jesus' ascension was actually better for believers than Jesus being physically present, as the Spirit allows him to be everywhere simultaneously and convict the world of sin.
This document summarizes a biblical story and provides commentary on it. It recounts the story of Jesus healing blind Bartimaeus as told in the gospels. It then analyzes various aspects of the story, including Bartimaeus's faith and perseverance in calling out to Jesus despite obstacles, Jesus stopping to help Bartimaeus, and Bartimaeus immediately receiving his sight from Jesus. The commentary emphasizes lessons about having faith in Jesus and urgently seeking his help.
Judas Iscariot was one of Jesus's twelve apostles who is infamous for betraying Jesus. Some key points:
1) Judas' name means "Yahweh leads" but he did not live up to his name, instead becoming history's greatest betrayer.
2) Jesus intentionally chose Judas to fulfill prophecies of betrayal, though Judas made his own choice to betray Jesus out of greed and a rejection of Jesus's teachings.
3) Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, identifying him with a kiss. Afterward, Judas felt remorse but hanged himself instead of repenting to God.
4) Judas provides a lesson about wasted opportunities
The document discusses the symbolism and meaning behind various aspects of the Old Testament tabernacle and temple. It notes that the veil of the tabernacle represented the mysteries of the Old Testament and Christ's triumph over death. It also symbolized the separation between God and man. The tabernacle and subsequent temples built by Solomon, Zerubabel, and Herod are described. The document discusses how Christ serves as our high priest and the reality to which the tabernacle symbols and sacrifices pointed. It explores the symbolism of the mercy seat and how Christ fulfills this as our propitiation.
The document discusses the nature of evil and whether it is inherent in human nature. It presents perspectives from both theology and science. Theologically, it references Bible passages describing original sin and the fallen nature of mankind. Scientifically, it discusses studies of serial killers that found no definitive genetic or neurological defects. Overall, it seems to conclude that while mankind was created good by God, the fall corrupted human nature and introduced a capacity for both good and evil, as seen in humanity's repeated sins throughout history.
The document discusses several aspects of the Christian doctrine of revelation and inspiration:
1) The doctrine of revelation is prophetic, comprehensive, historical, and personal, involving the transfer of information from God to man.
2) The doctrine of inspiration asserts that Scripture is infallible, sufficient, and extends to every part (plenary), involving the very words used by human authors (verbal). It involves dual authorship between human and divine.
3) The inerrancy of Scripture has been affirmed by major Christian thinkers like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, and Wesley who argued Scripture has never erred in any respect. Critics argue based on philosophy rather than empirical evidence.
The document discusses several aspects of the doctrine of revelation in Judaism:
1) Revelation was conveyed verbally from God to humans, through personal interaction between God and prophets, and through historical memory of past revelations.
2) Revelation provided implications for all aspects of life and came through a line of consistent prophets looking toward the end of history.
3) Unlike pagan religions, Judaism had a continuous succession of prophet-apostles receiving revelation from God over many generations.

1. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to either lack of insulin production or insulin resistance. The two main types are type 1 DM caused by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells, and type 2 DM caused by insulin resistance with relative insulin deficiency.
2. Symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss. Type 1 diabetes often presents with diabetic ketoacidosis, while type 2 diabetes is usually diagnosed through routine testing. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, oral medications, and sometimes insulin therapy to control blood glucose levels.
3. Strict control is important to prevent long-term complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart
This document provides an overview of natural theology and its key arguments for God's existence, including the cosmological and teleological arguments. It discusses the cosmological argument, which reasons that the universe must have been caused by something outside of space and time since it could not cause itself. It also examines the teleological argument, which points to apparent order, purpose, and design in the universe as evidence for an intelligent creator. The document outlines Thomas Aquinas' five ways of proving God and discusses theistic evolution as a response to challenges to natural theology from Darwin's theory of evolution.
This document discusses the design argument for the existence of God. It provides a brief history of the argument from ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle to later thinkers like Aquinas, Paley, and others. It also summarizes some criticisms of the design argument from figures like Hume and Tennyson who question whether the existence of evil is compatible with an all-powerful, benevolent God.

This document discusses persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) with a focus on management in resource-limited settings. It provides background on PPHN, including associated conditions, signs and symptoms, diagnostic testing, and supportive care strategies. Key interventions discussed include inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), high frequency ventilation (HFV), and sildenafil. While iNO and HFV are standard treatments, their high costs limit use in many resource-poor areas. The document explores using less expensive options like sildenafil and discusses how HFV could potentially be utilized more in Nepal with appropriate equipment, training, and support.
Maintenance IV fluids are used to prevent dehydration, electrolyte disturbances, ketoacidosis, and protein degradation. The goals are achieved through replacing water and electrolyte losses over a few days until enteral feeding can begin. Isotonic fluids like D5 1/2NS are now recommended over hypotonic fluids to reduce the risk of hyponatremia. Fluid restrictions may be needed in cases of persistent ADH secretion, lung diseases, liver diseases, or reduced water loss. Electrolytes should be monitored and fluids adjusted based on ongoing losses from fever, vomiting, or diarrhea.
This document summarizes a seminar on behavioral pediatrics. It defines behavioral disorders as tension-reducing activities that appear in childhood development.

The document provides an overview of behavioral disorders in children.
Syncope is a transient loss of consciousness caused by a drop in blood pressure. It is common in children and usually benign, but can sometimes indicate cardiac disease. Key points include:
1) Syncope is differentiated from seizures based on features like tongue biting and incontinence.
2) Causes include neurologic issues like vasovagal syncope, cardiac problems like arrhythmias, and other non-cardiac etiologies.
3) Evaluation involves history, physical exam, ECG, and monitoring like Holter or event monitors to check for arrhythmias, with more invasive testing if initial workup is abnormal.
This document discusses intussusception, which is the telescoping of one segment of bowel into an adjacent segment. It provides definitions, etiology, types and pathology, signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, workup, and treatment options for intussusception. The main points are that intussusception is usually idiopathic or caused by respiratory viruses in infants and young children, presenting with abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloody stools. Diagnosis involves imaging like ultrasound or barium enema. Treatment options include non-surgical reduction techniques like hydrostatic or pneumatic reduction or surgical reduction through manual manipulation or resection.

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

The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.
