The purpose is to encourage the reader to have an open mind and heart during their retreat, and to be open to whatever God wants to teach them, rather than focusing on their own preconceived reasons for being there.

6. gospel of liberation in the book of galatians saved by graceSami Wilberforce
This document discusses the biblical doctrine of justification by faith alone. It explains that according to Scripture, such as Galatians 2:16, a person is justified, or made righteous, not by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ.

It emphasizes that while human effort has no role in justification, cooperation with God is needed in sanctification after a person is justified.

This document discusses potential paths for a 20-year old distribution company in the Philippines to pursue growth through expansion. It suggests that additional investment capital may be needed to open new markets, refine management systems, and realize the company's full potential. Two potential sources of capital are described: financial partners who could provide connections and strategic partners who could also provide experienced managers. Strategic partners would acquire a larger stake in the company and potentially take over operations, while financial partners would have a minority stake and provide advice but not management. The document outlines terms and timelines for pursuing these options to obtain long-term partnerships and investment.

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
