The document outlines reasons for adversity such as living for God and reaping the results of sin. It provides rules for reigning over adversity, noting that God regulates adversity and promises future joy.
The document discusses finding purpose and meaning in work. It makes three key points:
1) God created humans in His image and told them to work, finding purpose in caring for creation. All jobs can reflect God's creativity when done with the right intentions.
2) While sin introduced brokenness, God redeems humanity and calls Christians to works of healing, liberation, and empowerment through their vocations.
3) Finding one's calling involves discerning natural talents and passions, then taking steps to use those talents to serve others through meaningful work that reflects God's love. Success is defined by faithfulness to one's calling rather than achievements.

The parable of the talents tells the story of a master who gives his servants different amounts of talents or opportunities based on their abilities. The servant given five talents and two talents invest their talents and earn more. However, the servant given one talent buries it in the ground out of fear. When the master returns, he praises the first two servants but punishes the third for not making use of the opportunity given to him. The document encourages readers not to be afraid of limited opportunities but to have faith in God and make the most of what they've been given.
This document contains lyrics from three worship songs that express themes of following one's dreams, lifting one's hands and heart to God, and being willing to serve God and live out His dreams in both large and small ways through one's life.

The crystal gateway october newsletter & calendar 2016Rosalie Muir
The newsletter summarizes events and reflections for October. It encourages readers to embrace change and new beginnings during a time of cleansing. It also stresses allowing peace and forgiveness as the year ends. Readers are invited to various online courses and healing sessions at The Crystal Gateway during the month.
This document provides guidance for managing one's ministry. It emphasizes relying on God's grace and calling rather than comparing oneself to others. Developing a support system is key, as is learning to say no and make the most of the time and calling given. Obedience to God's will and allowing all things to work for good are important principles. Managing ministry requires balancing family, work, school and ministry with wisdom and love. God is sovereign over his plans, so read, live by and speak his word while encouraging oneself in faith.
The document discusses Jesus' teachings about how one must approach God with the humble and trusting attitude of a child to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. It emphasizes that Jesus forbids despising or letting perish even the least of his followers. Like a shepherd who leaves most sheep to find one lost sheep, God greatly values even the lowliest believer.
The document is a passage from Psalm 139 describing God's omnipresence and intimate knowledge of humanity. It states that God knows people's thoughts and movements, sees them wherever they go, and was present during their formation in the womb. God had a plan for each person's life before they were born. The passage emphasizes that nothing is hidden from God and that God's knowledge of each person is vast beyond comprehension. It encourages applying these truths to draw closer to God.
This document outlines the purpose and principles of Christian stewardship, which is defined as using gifts from God wisely. It encourages businesses to be profitable by first pronouncing, valuing, preserving, and perfecting the resources of time, talent, and treasure they have been given, then profiting from and presenting these resources. Bible verses are referenced to support the ideas that Christians should multiply their talents through work and that businesses have a duty to be profitable while God blesses such efforts.
This hymn asks God to be present throughout the day, from waking to sleeping. It refers to God as the Lord of hopefulness, joy, eagerness, faith, kindliness, grace, gentleness and calm. It requests God's bliss, strength, love and peace in one's heart at the break, noon, eve and end of each day.
VOLUNTARY HELPERS of Bulstrode is a group that aims to serve and share, pray and grow, and participate and receive by using the strengths God provides so that in all things God may be praised, as referenced in 1 Peter 4:11. The group hopes to enlarge its tent and not hold back, as stated in Isaiah 54:3, and dreams that this place would be at its very best by utilizing what members can do with their hands and feet to help others.
The document discusses access to knowledge (A2K) and open infrastructures. It presents A2K as a theoretical framework and social movement regarding intellectual property, technology, and access. Open infrastructures are argued to be key to improving access to knowledge and supporting human development goals by enabling greater participation and efficiency. However, questions remain about balancing open systems with cultural preservation needs. The role of philosophers is to help address questions around moral obligations, responsibility, and distributive justice in online and knowledge environments.
The document discusses several topics related to copyright, technology, and morality. It addresses the criminalization of copyright infringement and banning of technologies like peer-to-peer networks and circumvention devices. It also examines frameworks for understanding the relationship between technology and responsibility, including the instrumentalist approach, capabilities approach, and ideology approach. Key debates addressed include the moral agency of technology, digital rights management, and peer-to-peer file sharing.
This document discusses the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) negotiations. It notes that the negotiations are being held in secret without transparency or accountability. It outlines the history of ACTA and international intellectual property agreements. It also summarizes concerns about the proposed provisions regarding criminal enforcement, border measures, internet issues, and the lack of evidence that the agreement would not significantly change existing law in ways that threaten civil liberties.
This document discusses cyberlaw and information intermediaries. It covers topics such as intellectual property, freedom of expression, privacy, immunity from liability provisions for intermediaries, and notice-and-takedown procedures. It argues that open innovation, transparency, consumer protection, and economic growth depend on protecting the rights of netizens and intermediaries. The document was written by Eddan Katz of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
This document summarizes computer crime laws in the United States, including statutes governing child pornography, computer fraud, spam laws, criminal copyright provisions, and anti-circumvention measures. It also discusses constitutional issues regarding free speech and search/seizure. Key concepts covered include authorization, intent, and reasonable expectations of privacy in the context of unauthorized access and cybercrime conventions. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and its penalties are explained in detail.
This document discusses requirements for transferring personal data to third countries under European Union law. It outlines the EU's principle of "adequate protection" that requires third countries to ensure a sufficient level of data protection. The document also examines various mechanisms for complying with this principle such as consent from data subjects, EU standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, and the EU-US Safe Harbor framework. It notes challenges around enforcement of these frameworks given the global nature of data flows on the internet.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
This document discusses the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) negotiations and related issues. It notes that ACTA negotiations have been held in secret with little transparency or accountability. If finalized, ACTA could significantly expand enforcement of intellectual property rights, including requiring Internet service providers to monitor communications and potentially censor the internet. There are also concerns that ACTA could be used to circumvent existing limitations on enforcement in U.S. and EU law without public scrutiny or oversight. Overall, the document calls for more transparency in the ACTA negotiations and a broader consideration of consumer interests rather than an exclusive focus on enforcement.
Mapping A2K Advocacy:Towards a Coalition Against ACTAEddan Katz
This document discusses access to knowledge (A2K) advocacy and mapping potential coalitions against agreements like ACTA. It covers key topics around food and health (including agriculture, genetic resources, and public health), education and science (research, educational materials, and libraries/archives), culture and media, and communications/infrastructure. For each topic, it outlines relevant regulations, institutions, production models, technologies, and advocacy networks working in that area.

This document discusses being ready and willing to submit to God's changes in one's life by surrendering control. It emphasizes that allowing God to remove character defects and replace them with positive changes takes time and humility. One must accept growth, yield to God's work within them, and replace defects with activities like recovery meetings and service. The document encourages entirely submitting to all changes God desires to make while relying on His strength, compassion, and mercy.
This document discusses the origins of New Year's resolutions and provides guidance for Christians on making resolutions that honor God. It notes that resolutions often fail because they lack the proper motivation. The document suggests Christians make resolutions focused on spiritual growth, such as praying more, reading the Bible, or attending church regularly. However, it cautions that resolutions only have value if done to honor God, not for vanity or outward appearances. Overall, the document encourages Christians to seek God's will in making any resolutions and rely on his strength to fulfill goals.

Wednesday Night Series - "How People Change", Week 3CLADSM
God understands the full range of struggles people face in life, from burdens and hardships to joys and opportunities, as reflected in passages like Psalm 88 and James 1 which describe trials and temptations. While the world surprises us with suffering, the Bible comforts us that God is aware of our deepest struggles and offers help tailored to our individual needs and situations. Christians should help others find solace in knowing God understands what they experience so they can turn to him for genuine help.
The document discusses the themes of hope, faith, and love in several Bible passages. It then discusses how hopelessness can arise from unmet expectations but can be restored through remembering God's faithfulness as shown in Scripture. Finally, it provides a framework called "T.R.U.T.H." for dealing with despair by identifying triggering lies, replacing them with biblical truths, and experiencing a healthy response of hope. The overarching message is that remembering God's faithfulness as revealed in the Bible can restore hope when faced with difficult circumstances.

This lesson encourages us to have the Spirit of a Christian through examples that the Bible provides. It instructs us on the type of Spirit that a Christian should show in their every day lives and reassures us of the love of God, even when things are going bad.
The document describes a book called "Kingdom Intercession" by Gillian N. Whyte. It discusses struggling with prayer and finding an effective method. The method is praying using Scripture by transposing the New Testament into prayer formats to read and pray simultaneously. Praying Scripture activates God's plans and purposes for one's life. It will unlock promises and blessings as the Word of God accomplishes what it is sent to do. The book provides benefits like answered prayers, insight into Scripture, and moving God's heart to act on one's behalf.
This document provides an overview and summary of Psalm 32. It begins with background on King David's sins with Bathsheba and Uriah, which led to his writing of Psalms 32 and 51 in confession. The summary then examines four Hebrew words for sin, three words for forgiveness, and how guilt affects us. It discusses how we must confess sins to God and forgive others as God forgives us. Total forgiveness is defined as having no negative feelings towards an offender and praying for God to bless them. The document closes with an invitation to next week's sermon and details on God's plan of salvation through Jesus Christ.
The document discusses how to handle disappointment and hurt. It provides biblical examples of people who experienced disappointment, such as Moses, David, Sarah and others. It discusses that feeling disappointed is not a sin, but how we handle it is crucial. It encourages viewing disappointments as divine routes to destiny and finding hope that when there is life, there is a way out. Disappointments can make us better and wiser if we remain dependent on God.

Darwin said, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.”
Darwin, C. (1872) Origin of Species, 6th ed. (1988), New York University Press, New York, p. 154.
180 years later, his theory has broken down according to his own criteria! There is ABSOLUTELY NOT ONE TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL BETWEEN KINDS OF ANIMALS. DARWIN'S THEORY IS WRONG!
And his ideas have promoted racism and white supremacy more than any other single person worldwide for the past 150 years! Darwin needs to be Dethroned in our scientific and educational systems.
No one has influenced the entire world with "scientific" support for atheism, eugenics, racism and white supremacy more than Charles Darwin! It's time to dethrone him in science and in education.
Besides, his main ideas on evolution have been proven false: Absolutely no fossils to support gradual evolution between kinds of animals and molecular biology and DNA code science conclusively prove that random chance mutations could never have produced the massive complexity of life we now know exists even in one cell. Please challenge his ideas in your scientific and educational commmuities.
Here is a talk I gave on this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QRM7mxCVFI&t=706s
I can send you the original as a Powerpoint or Keynote if you ask in the comments.
In fact, it seems like a contradiction, doesn’t it? An oxymoron: Our loving God sees the death of His beloved children as a blessing. I hope I can explain this scriptural truth well enough to convince you that God has good reasons to see our deaths as a good and precious thing.
I can tell you from personal experience and from the Bible that God is the most wonderful, tender-hearted, and kind Father anyone could imagine.
Experiencing the love of God as your Father is the birthright of every born-again Christian!
It will change your life as it has changed mine!

Why: The Mosaic Covenant!
“But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors—… I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.” Leviticus 26: 40-42
This message is a prophetic word the Lord has given me. Test it.
Jerusalem represents the American Church— all the followers of Jesus
The broken walls of Jerusalem represent the broken moral and spiritual foundations of the Church— broken by many sins in the Church
Through those broken walls, forces of darkness have infiltrated and corrupted the people of God
The book of Nehemiah is a metaphor for how God is rebuilding our spiritual walls and cleansing God’s people in America
God restored Jerusalem in preparation for the coming of Jesus about 450 years later
God is restoring us now in preparation for a huge national and international revival

A message most Christians will not hear often. Some will never hear this in a church today. But persecution is coming to America—ready or not! Jesus promises us persecution. the Bible is full of examples and teaching on our call to suffer as followers of God.
The document discusses beliefs about heaven, describing it as the final home for Christians. It provides details about heaven from various biblical passages, portraying it as a place of glory, beauty, and joy where believers will be with God and see his face. The document emphasizes that through faith in Jesus, believers have assurance of their heavenly citizenship and will be spared from death through resurrection to eternal life in heaven.
The word "God" is used about 4500 times in the Bible. In 99.9% of the time, God refers to the Father. Read these scriptures where the word 'Father' is substituted for 'God' and get a better appreciation for the loving, gentle, Father Every Christian has through faith in Jesus.
Jesus was sent by the Father to bring us back to Him. God wants a close, "Abba" daddy relationship with us like He had with Adam and Eve in the garden. They walked together int he cool of the day—as a close family of a Father and His children.
God wants all of His children to have that kind of relationship with Him. That's why He sent Jesus!
God communicates to the author about mothers and their importance. God expresses having both a father's and mother's love for humanity. Mothers reflect God's character through their ability to love sacrificially, suffer for their children, and deeply identify with their children. Honoring one's mother honors God, as mothers were assigned by God. Failing to honor one's mother risks losing blessings. Practical ways to honor mothers include communicating often with expressions of gratitude and anticipating their needs.
We were created to become children of God, joint-heirs of Jesus who will rule and reign with Him in heaven. Salvation through Jesus is all of that! Get to know Jesus! Glory God no with your lives and prepare yourselves to rule with Jesus forever in heaven!! Don't waste your life just living for earthly things. Prepare for eternity by loving, enjoying and obeying Jesus NOW!

This is a message of comfort. God has BIG plans for all Christians when they get to heaven. He will glorify us in ways we cannot imagine. Look at the biblical proof that God has always planned to do this for all His adopted children who come to Him through faith in Jesus!
Go here to see my comments about how this teaching differs from Mormon false teachings about God and heaven. https://www.alf.church/called-to-be-glorified/
So why do I feel that this message about being adopted by God is so foundational to the normal Christian life?
Because Jesus came to bring us back to the Father. Jesus came to show us the Father. If you’re a Christian and you don’t know the Father, you’re missing one of the main reasons that Jesus came to earth. His death on the cross was just the means to enable us to know the Father and be the adopted as his children.

The Bible and experience confirms that our personalities, values, identity and conscience are largely formed by the family that raised us. We get "spiritual DNA" from our parents and ancestors that can be good and bad. Sin patterns, dysfunctional relationship patterns and coping mechanisms run in families. This is an intro to a huge and important topic that probably should be a series. This is a topic that can open up thinking and family discussions that could help heal and protect your family. This is not a topic most churches talk about but one they need to address due to the increases of sin and dysfunction in American families today.
This is just a short message on the necessity of hearing God's voice for every Christian. God speaks to His children for the same reasons we parents speak to our children: to know who we are, Whose we are and how to live well.

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
