Fear God, follow his commandments, as that is humanity's purpose. God will judge all people's deeds, both what is done openly and secretly, and will assess whether each was good or evil. Keeping God's law is the wisest course of action.
The conclusion of Ecclesiastes is that humans should fear God and follow his commandments, as this is humanity's purpose. God will judge all people's deeds, both what they do openly and secretly, and determine whether they are good or evil.
The document summarizes biblical stories about Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Enoch who walked with God, Abraham who was promised many descendants, Moses who spoke with God face to face, Jesus' disciples who he called friends, and a message of God's eternal love for the reader.
The document discusses how everything has a name, including people, places, and things. It then quotes a passage from the Bible that says God gave Jesus the highest name above all other names, and that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, acknowledging that Jesus Christ is Lord.
The document discusses Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem riding on a donkey from the perspective of the donkey. It notes that all four gospels describe this event. It then draws parallels between Jesus' first entry and his future "re-entry" when he returns. Finally, it suggests that people should submit to God's plan like the donkey did, and allow Jesus to make a triumphal entry into their lives.
The document summarizes a passage from the book of Jeremiah. It warns the house of Judah and the king to execute justice for those who have been robbed and to deliver them from oppression. If they fail to do so, God's wrath will burn like unquenchable fire for their evil deeds. God declares that he will punish the inhabitants of the valley and those who think they are protected in their refuge, according to their own sinful actions. A fire will be kindled around them that will devour all around it.
Jesus saw a blind man and had compassion for him. He healed the man's blindness by making mud with his saliva and applying it to the man's eyes, instructing him to wash in the pool of Siloam. When the man did so, he was able to see. Though at first the man only recognized Jesus as the man called Jesus, he came to acknowledge him as a prophet and one sent from God who performed a miracle, and ultimately called him the Son of Man and Messiah.
This document provides an overview of a Bible study on discipleship. It discusses approaching the study through a topical-textual hybrid focusing on passages like Psalms 119. It divides people into three groups - the armchair geologist who rejects the Bible, the shopper who consumes it superficially, and the miner who puts in effort to understand it holistically. The goal of discipleship is to make disciples through life together, teaching God's commands diligently at all times. Effective tools include spending time in Scripture, noting patterns and summaries. The overall aim is to cultivate spiritual growth and understanding.
The document discusses how King David wanted to build a house for God after finding rest from his enemies, but God told prophet Nathan that David's son would build the house instead. While God does not change, people and circumstances do change. David had dreams of building a house for God but God changed the plans and promised David's kingdom would be established forever through his descendants.

The document discusses different versions of the King James Bible and addresses criticisms of it. It notes that the 1611 version underwent four editions - in 1629, 1638, 1762, and 1769 - to correct printing errors and update spelling, but there were no new translations or revisions. Modern versions starting in 1881 were based on new translations and revisions, not just corrections. It encourages thinking about how difficult publishing without errors was in the 1600s versus today, and argues the four editions did not equate to entirely new versions like critics claim.
The document is a sermon given by Pastor Bill Mostrales at a 2012 camp meeting. It summarizes and analyzes Isaiah 41:10, where God says "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." The pastor explains that believers should not fear because God is with them, and that God will strengthen, help, and uphold believers with his righteousness. He encourages Christians to strengthen one another through Christian community and camaraderie.
The document discusses three aspects of Christian living: 1) being completely knitted to God through faith in Christ and holding fast to hope; 2) having satisfaction through giving thanks in all circumstances according to God's will; 3) being doers of God's word through faith, not just hearers, in order to be justified.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
II Corinthians 1:2-4 NKJV
This document contains multiple passages from the Bible encouraging believers to trust fully in God rather than other people or worldly things. It says to trust in God with all your heart and not rely on your own understanding. True blessedness comes from making God your trust. God is a refuge and those who trust in Him will find perfect peace. In contrast, those who trust in people rather than God will face curses. God's word is pure and tried, providing protection for all who put their faith in Him.
The poem "Hymn to Labor" celebrates the importance of labor for families, communities, and the nation through the perspectives of men, wives, maidens, and children. It expresses how labor sustains families and allows future generations to carry on the work. The hymn highlights that a person who struggles and works will be able to teach their offspring to maintain the values of labor.
This document discusses the "Helmet of Salvation" mentioned in Ephesians 6:17. It begins by providing context on helmets from the time of Paul and how they protected the mind. It then explores how the Helmet of Salvation protects our thoughts from temptation in three categories: lust of the eyes (mental temptation), lust of the flesh (giving into impulses), and pride of life. It emphasizes the importance of replacing ungodly thoughts with godly thoughts from scripture. The key takeaway is that we cannot control the length of our lives but can control its depth by keeping the Helmet of Salvation on to protect our minds from Satan's attacks through temptation.
This document provides an outline for a sermon on "The Power to Restrain Christian Attribute". It discusses the need for:
1) Non-stop commitment to execute God's word through duties, priorities, purpose and wise use of time.
2) Putting God's law into practice and bringing it to passion by treating others well and acting on faith.
3) Refilling spiritual energy through scripture, meditation and relying on God to meet all needs.
4) Regarding the fruit of the spirit like meekness and temperance.
The document discusses the power to restrain Christian attributes through nonstop commitment to God's word, putting God's law into practice, and regarding the fruit of the Spirit. It emphasizes duties to love others, set one's mind on heavenly things, and redeem the time. It encourages following scriptures like loving strangers, keeping God's law, and doing to others as you would have them do to you. The overall message is about strengthening Christian faith through continuous dedication to scripture.
The document outlines a sermon discussing how believers can achieve success through setting goals, learning from failures and mistakes, and working hard. It encourages believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices to God by not conforming to the ways of the world and renewing their minds. Several bible verses are cited exhorting believers to deny themselves, take up their crosses, take hold of instruction which is their life, and to be steadfast and abounding in the work of the Lord.
The document examines biblical scriptures that reference the name of God's church. It identifies 12 New Testament scriptures that use the name "Church of God" or "Churches of God" to refer to God's true church. Five of the scriptures specifically mention "The Church of God" in the books of Acts, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, 1 Timothy, and 2 Thessalonians.
The document provides biblical passages encouraging believers to be examples to others in their speech, life, love, faith, and purity. It lists five areas - speech, life, love, faith, and purity - where Christians should exemplify virtues for other believers, citing corresponding verses from the Bible supporting each area.
Heavy monsoon rains have caused flooding in parts of northern Luzon in the Philippines. A hospital in Cainta, located east of Manila, had to evacuate as floodwaters rose. Residents in the area have pleaded for help evacuating from the flooding.
The document discusses the great opportunity Christians have to do good for others, especially fellow believers, and to choose the righteous path of living for Christ. It encourages entering through the narrow gate of heaven by striving to do God's will on earth in order to praise God and live through Jesus.
The document discusses the path to life and calls the reader to make a decision. It talks about (1) God instructing and guiding the reader, (2) the narrow gate that leads to life versus the broad road that leads to destruction, and (3) staying on the right path in the middle of the journey by not turning to the right or left.
This 3 sentence summary provides the high-level information from the document:
The document discusses a scripture reading from Acts chapter 24 verse 2. It describes a man named Tertullus beginning to accuse someone, saying that through this person's actions they enjoy great quietness and that very worthy deeds have been done for the nation through this person's providence.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
God is the God of the living, not the dead. Jesus teaches that the greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. While people may face trials and temptations, God provides a way to escape and withstand them if one remains faithful, as God will not allow temptation that is too strong but instead provides a way to endure. Enduring trials until the end will lead to salvation.
This short document discusses two Bible passages from Deuteronomy about being the head or the tail. It notes that Deut. 28:13 says God will make his people the head, while Deut. 28:44 says they will instead be the tail if they disobey. It then states that Jesus Christ is the best Teacher.
The document discusses enduring trials as a Christian soldier of Jesus Christ. It notes that trials prove and strengthen faith, produce humility and patience, and that Christians should respond to trials with rejoicing, prayer, singing and working. It promises that God will deliver his people in times of trial and that those who endure will receive a crown of life. Finally, it notes that while some trials come from sin, others come from doing right, and that God provides a way of escape for every difficulty.
The document discusses ways to conquer discouragement. It lists causes of discouragement like fear of failure, unrealistic expectations, illness, and lack of faith in God. It recommends refilling spiritual energy by taking up the armor of God described in Ephesians, meditating on God's word, and relying on God's strength. It urges remembering who God is by recalling what He has done, that He is always there and loves you. Finally, it advocates cultivating perseverance and determination which are elements of success, and to not be discouraged and to keep moving forward.

This document provides scripture passages about giving thanks to God during Thanksgiving Day. It encourages giving thanks to God for everything as it is God's will according to 1 Thessalonians 5:18. Ephesians 5:20 reinforces this message of always giving thanks to God the Father for all things in the name of Jesus Christ. Psalm 116:12-14 expresses gratitude to God for all his benefits and making vows to call upon his name and fulfill obligations to him in front of his people.
This document contains a series of Bible verses and quotes encouraging the reader to fight distractions, focus on God, and continue moving forward in faith. It advises submitting to God, resisting the devil, focusing on one's path, being sober and vigilant against Satan's attempts to distract, and pressing toward the spiritual goal despite not seeing the entire way clearly.
Faith is strengthened through enduring hardship and standing firm. Like coffee beans, difficulties can make us better by changing our character for the good rather than making us bitter. Having living faith means demonstrating it through good works, not just professing it.

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
