This document discusses keeping a positive heart and mindset through remembering that God has chosen you, planned for you, and guaranteed your future. It encourages remembering that God predestined you to be holy and blameless, and works all things according to his plan and will. It also notes that God has planned beforehand for the problems, provision, and people to help you, and that no one can imagine what God has prepared for those who love him and do not give up.
1 Cor 1:17-18 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Rom 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Tit 2:11-14 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

It's pretty tough to design a great user experience if you don't know the target audience. So when faced with this problem, well-equipped UX designers will turn to one of their favourite tools: the persona.
Personas draw upon the power of narrative and storytelling to shine a bright light on the elusive "user." They're especially effective when based upon primary research methods such as ethnography and in-context interviews. Done poorly, personas are little more
than a futile exercise in creative writing. But done properly, they become powerful representations of your users’ goals, motivations, and behaviours -- and can act as the "north star" for your design decisions.

Though one might be poor by the world's standards, no one is as wealthy as the person that has placed his trust in Jesus Christ. Free PowerPoint Download at http://BibleGuy.org
Sunday morning October 18, 2015 sermon at the Heritage Addition church of Christ located in Booneville, AR. Why I love the church of Christ because she is Holy
Ephesians 3:14-21 God's blessings, He settled may largest debt - sacrifice, he satisfied my deepest need - forgiveness, he provided my greatest desire - guidance, he prepared my highest longing - heaven.
Predestination is one of the most widely taught doctrines in Calvinism. The biblical understanding of this passage reveals a much deeper underlying principle and a richer store of information than can be imagined.
God want's to do great things for us. A scripture based study into predestination reveals that God wants to glorify us. Allow the scriptures to open the pathway that God desires to bring us on.
We know the dictionary definition of worship (a feeling, or devotion to a deity), and we have read John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth"; but, what does the Bible teach us about the subject of worship? This is a series of lessons that gets to the heart of worship and what it really means for Christians.

GOD LOVES US ALL SO MUCH!!! :-)
(needless to say: God loves us all soooo much Catholic or not ...actually God loves us all sooooo much even if we don't believe in Him or "hate" Him!!!! :-)
In this inspiring message we study how to live a life of faith by understanding some of the key foundations of faith and how faith brings transformation to our lives so we live as conquerors and overcomers.
Shalom Saints,
It is in this time of Purim that we are reminded again of the power of putting on the armour of God.
Having situations and calamities still happening in our lives, we are still struggling with the very basic in our lives, to obtain peace and His promise.
Paul focused the believer on spiritual warfare, who we are wrestling with...
Ephesians 6:12 NKJV
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but
...against principalities,
...against powers,
...against the rulers of the darkness of this age,
...against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
The believer will not stand a chance if he does not put on the FULL armour of God. A partial armour also makes the believer vulnerable.
Let's learn how the enemy attack believers and how the armour of God protect us. Also to claim this privilege of protection that God has given unto each one of us.
Ephesians 6:13 NKJV
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Earthquake in Turkey, flood in Johor, snow in Hollywood...you can name each disaster that may seemed a distance to us physically. One disaster that is closest to ourselves is when it happen to our family.
Come and join us and learn how we can put on this armor corporately and stand firm on His protection and promise.
As you know who we are, a prayer altar. Come and join us who can pray for you behind your back.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

What Should be the Christian View of Anime?Joe Muraguri
We will learn what Anime is and see what a Christian should consider before watching anime movies? We will also learn a little bit of Shintoism religion and hentai (the craze of internet pornography today).
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Renewed in Grace
7. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
8. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.
9. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—
10. to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. Ephesians 1:3 - 6 (NIV)
11. And that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.
12. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
13. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
14. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
15. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. I Corinthians 15:5-10 (NIV)
16. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
17. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. Acts 17:26-27(NIV)
19. In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the
20. purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. Eph 1:11-12 (ESV)
21. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Eph 2:10 (ESV)
22. God has planned in advance for the problems you will encounter
23. God has planned in advance for the provision you’re going to need
24. Eph 3:20 (NIV) “God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus thoughout all generations, forever and ever! AMEN.
30. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
31. who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14
32. … “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)
33. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galations 6:9 (NIV)
