The LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. Withhold not the goodnews (gospel) from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do it. A message to Pope Benedict XVI from Proverbs 3: 26-27
1) Holiness involves participating in the world in a new way rather than withdrawing from it. It means being sent into the world as Jesus was sent, not being taken out of it.
2) Believers are urged to excel in holiness through following God's instructions on living holy lives that please Him, as they have been taught.
3) True holiness is shown through living quiet lives that work with their hands and mind their own business, so that outsiders will respect them.
This document contains an analysis of Philippians 2:17-18. It examines how Paul's willingness to be "poured out like a drink offering" relates to the sacrifices and service of faith from the Philippians. The document explores biblical concepts of Old Testament sacrifices and priests being replaced by Christians as "living stones" in God's spiritual temple. It encourages readers to imitate Paul and Christ by being willing to sacrifice and suffer for their faith.

Paul was confined in Caesarea for his safety under Roman jurisdiction. He was accused by the Jews of insurrection, being a leader of the Nazarenes sect, and profaning the Temple, but the Romans found he had done nothing illegal. Paul appealed to Caesar to avoid being captured by the Jews. He was brought before King Agrippa to advise what charges to bring before Caesar, and Paul seized the opportunity to give testimony about his conversion and call to preach about Jesus. Agrippa was almost persuaded to become a Christian himself.

BLC Sermon - Who do you say I am? - 20110815 Leigh Wong
Jesus asks his disciples who people say he is and they respond with various prophets. He then asks who they say he is. Simon Peter responds by saying "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus confirms that Peter's response came from divine revelation, not human teaching, establishing his identity as the Messiah and Son of God sent by God the Father.
Paul proposed a second missionary journey to Barnabas to revisit cities where they had previously preached. However, Barnabas wanted to take John Mark again, while Paul did not trust him after he abandoned them previously. This caused Barnabas and Paul to separate, with Barnabas taking John Mark to Cyprus while Paul chose Silas and traveled overland. Paul and Silas preached in Philippi and Lydia became the first convert in Europe. They were later imprisoned but an earthquake led to their release and the conversion of the jailer and his household. Paul continued preaching throughout Macedonia and Achaia, facing opposition in some areas, before eventually reaching Athens and Corinth where he established churches.
The document discusses the Israelites' rebellion at Kadesh Barnea after the 12 spies returned from scouting out the promised land. It makes 3 main points:
1) The Israelites' lack of faith and rebellion would be known among the nations as a failure of God.
2) Moses interceded for the nation, asking God to forgive them and let the nation survive so His glory would not be compromised.
3) God's glory and forgiveness through substitutionary atonement are non-negotiable, forming the basis for Moses' intercessory prayer with God to save the nation.
Pacific Church identifies itself using five key terms: beloved, broken, belonging, building, and bridging. The document provides several biblical passages about God's love and mercy for humanity, including stories of the Pharisee and tax collector as well as the prodigal son. God demonstrates his love for humanity through sending Jesus Christ to die for sins. Pacific Church strives to imitate God and Christ by showing compassion, kindness, humility, and patience towards others.
The document discusses the importance of churches building trust and confidence within their local communities. It suggests that churches can help meet community needs and gain social capital by partnering with secular leaders to provide social services. Examples are given from the Bible of Joseph, Daniel, and Ezra winning favor with pagan rulers and then using that influence to help their people. The document argues that Adventist churches should focus on sharing their health message, as helping the community with physical needs can open doors to share spiritual truths. When churches serve their communities well, the communities will miss them if the churches disappeared.
The document discusses how Jesus called ordinary people to follow him, such as fishermen Simon and Andrew, and how God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. It provides several examples from the Bible of how Jesus cared for ordinary people and transformed them, such as turning water into wine for a wedding and feeding large crowds. The overall message is that God values all people equally regardless of status, and everyone has the potential to become citizens of heaven through accepting Jesus as their savior.
God strengthens His church through faithful servants like Paul and Barnabas. After their first missionary journey, Paul wants to return to cities where they preached to encourage the believers. Barnabas wants to take John Mark but Paul refuses due to Mark's prior abandonment of their work. They separate, with Barnabas and Mark going to Cyprus while Paul chooses Silas. Paul then travels through Syria and Cilicia strengthening churches. He meets Timothy and has him accompany them after Timothy is circumcised to please Jews in the region. Paul and his companions deliver the decisions of the Jerusalem council to churches, strengthening their faith.

This document provides the agenda and materials for a School of Leaders meeting for the Diocese of Birmingham, Alabama Cursillo movement in September 2013.

One talk discusses how Cursillistas are called to be apostles through their baptism and by spreading the Good News through friendship. The document also announces upcoming Cursillo events and reviews proposed bylaw changes regarding Secretariat member roles and terms.
The document discusses the organization of the early church in Acts 6. As the number of disciples grew, there was a complaint that some widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. The twelve apostles decided to appoint seven men to oversee this task, so that the apostles could focus on prayer and preaching. These deacons were chosen by the congregation and ordained by the apostles to care for the physical needs of the church members, allowing the church to fulfill its mission and serve all people.
Jesus visits the home of a Pharisee for dinner. A sinful woman enters and washes Jesus' feet with her tears, drying them with her hair. The Pharisee questions Jesus' prophetic abilities for allowing a sinner to touch him. Jesus tells a parable of two debtors forgiven different amounts to explain that those forgiven more show greater love. He forgives the woman's sins, sparking debate about his authority to forgive.
Silas served three apostles, James, Paul and Peter. He was an encouraging prophet and leader. Silas was also a team player, a utility player and a closer... three qualities of baseball greats that make for an amazing second string Christian leader.
The document provides an introduction and summary of Judges 1-3 from the Bible. It discusses how after Joshua's death, the Israelites did not fully drive the Canaanites from the Promised Land and compromised with their enemies. This led God to allow them to be oppressed by neighboring nations as punishment. Whenever the Israelites cried out to God for help, he would raise up judges to rescue them, but the cycle would repeat as the generations forgot God.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."
C. S. Lewis’ reaction to the Sermon on the Mount stated, “As to ‘caring for’ the Sermon on the Mount, if ‘caring for’ here means ‘liking’ or enjoying, I suppose no one ‘cares for’ it. Who can like being knocked flat on his face by a sledgehammer? I can hardly imagine a more deadly spiritual condition than that of a man who can read that passage with tranquil pleasure.” Certainly, in consideration of this beatitude and promise of persecution, this observation is profoundly true.
Paul preached in the synagogues in Thessalonica for three weeks, explaining from the Scriptures that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. Some Jews were persuaded while others became jealous and stirred up crowds against Paul. Paul and Silas were then sent to Berea, where the people examined the Scriptures daily to evaluate Paul's message. Many Bereans believed after Paul's reasoned arguments from Scripture. However, when Jews from Thessalonica learned Paul was preaching in Berea, they also stirred up crowds there against him. So the believers sent Paul away to Athens for his safety.
This document discusses the character and nature of God as described in the Bible. It describes God as holy, just, and the one who judges mankind for their sins and depravity. It presents the dilemma that if God is just, he cannot justify the wicked, yet the Bible also says he is loving. It explains that God resolved this through the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ, by which he can forgive sins yet remain just. The document then discusses man's need to repent of sins and put faith in Christ, and how true believers can have assurance of their salvation based on examining their lives against Scripture.
This document provides summaries of several Bible passages about the five-fold ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. It discusses their purpose of perfecting saints, doing the work of ministry, and building up the body of Christ. It also defines the roles of each position, with apostles being missionaries who set things in order, and prophets being people who receive the word of God and foresee future events. The overall message is about the importance of these ministries in preaching the gospel and bringing people to unity in faith.
The document provides an introduction and overview of Paul's letter to the Romans. It explains that the letter was written by the apostle Paul to believers in Rome around 58 AD to explain the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul shows that all people are sinners in need of salvation and that God sent Jesus to die for sins so that people can be forgiven and live eternally with God. The letter explains that through faith in Jesus, believers can be made righteous in God's sight and empowered to live holy lives.
This document provides information about Christ B.C., an organization focused on exploring the hidden presence of Christ in the Old Testament. It includes contact information for Christ B.C. as well as several biblical passages and summaries of biblical typology, which is a form of symbolism where people, places, or things in the Old Testament prefigure counterparts in the New Testament. For example, Adam is presented as a type of Christ, as both the first man and the head of their respective creations who brought consequences through their actions.
This document provides an introduction to the book of Romans. It discusses how Romans explains what Jesus has done for believers and wants to do in them. It notes that Romans shows how God sees people as sinners in need of a Savior, and that God sent Jesus to take the death penalty for sins so people can have fellowship with God now and eternally. The document then provides background on the book, the author Paul, and the early believers in Rome.
The document provides an overview of the key parts and timeline of the New Testament. It discusses:
- The Gospels which describe Jesus' life, teachings and sacrifice. Acts which describes the transformation of the disciples after Jesus' death. Paul's letters to churches and leaders. Other letters by figures like Peter and John. Revelation which ties up the current and future world.
- Jesus fulfilling the law by living a perfect life and enabling followers to fulfill it through their relationship with him based on acknowledging and reciprocating his love and forgiveness.
- Jesus as the perfect savior, leader, and role model and the perfect future after judgment of victory and glory. However, humans continue to be imperfect but strive for
Philippians 3:4-11. To gain Christ we must learn to look at all the things of this world that we trust in clearly and see that they are of no value compared to gaining Christ. Where is your confidence? If it’s in things or accomplishments, the end is destruction. If it’s in a relationship with Jesus, the end is the glorification of your body.
This document contains scripture passages from Romans 5:17-18 and commentary on reigning in life through Jesus Christ. The key points are:
1) Through Adam's sin, death reigned, but through Jesus, those who receive grace and righteousness will reign in life.
2) All face condemnation because of Adam's sin, but through Jesus's righteous act, all receive justification and the gift of life.
3) To reign in life, one must receive God's abundance of grace and gift of righteousness through Jesus. Righteousness is a gift not earned by works but received through faith in Jesus, who makes us righteous. By receiving grace and righteousness, one can reign over sin, darkness,

Staying Connected with God's Principles: Overcoming FEAR is the new edition (2011) in the series of PowerPoint Presentation on Overcoming Fear. Visit www.christiandrive.wordpress.com for full details. We need to understand the basic principles Jesus used.
Not until you stop analysing your situation and stop calculating the years in your situation, the devil in it will not be paralysed. And His faithfulness, His promises and His mercy will not be celebrated to resurrect your miracle.From the Book titled ‘I am on God’s Radar’Ivan Ukiwah (CDN)
Take a closer look at the father-child relationship BUILT on God’s principle you might be quite surprised at what you see. The most striking of all is the unmistakable bond and a more involved conversation between the duo

It is particularly distressing when some Christians are alienated or repressed for their views and beliefs of affiliation in Christ. But note behind every persecution there is a message and something God wants us to learn from.
Focus not on the campaign to subjugate or eliminate you but look for the possibilities in the word concerning you. With Christ it is never hopeless, remember you are what God says you are and you have what God says you have because you are a peculiar person, sanctified, separated and put apart for his use. Know this, “Rejoice if you are persecuted, because you are fit for an acceptable purpose to proclaim liberty to them that are imprisoned by fleshy lust, to bind up the broken hearted, and to comfort all that mourn.
The document discusses the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. It describes how Christ was the revelation of God's love and plan for redemption through his crucifixion, death, and resurrection. It asserts that through faith in Christ, believers have new life and are no longer slaves to sin due to his righteousness. The resurrection power of Christ gives rebirth and circumcision of the heart, allowing believers to walk in newness of life.
THE NEWNESS OF LIFEChrist is the revelation of God’s mysteries, God’s extravagant love in John 3:16 and the vast strength of God’s boundless and inexhaustible compassion.In Christ we saw the glory of God’s plan for our redemption in Isaiah 9:6-7 , Isaiah 7:14 and the hope that is set before us. His crucifixion, death and resurrection transcends everything else...... because it is our road map to the newness of life and to comprehending the breadth, the length, the depth and the height of God’s mysteries .
Fear is our ultimate enemy. A very patronising, largely unfunny, basically unwelcomed guest with an enormous capacity to cripple who we are emotionally, financially, physically and reveal how shallow we are spiritually by freezing our faith.
Fear could also be defined as an emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific pain or danger (usually accompanied by a desire to flee or fight)
Unforgiveness is the summary statement of how spiritually bankrupt and unfathomable a heart is to the word of God.
We often don’t realise the extent to which our anger and inability to forgive is robbing us and leaving us far removed from the safety net of God.
Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who remain, hope, wait, tarry, loiter, linger, rest in me will not be disappointed, put to shame, humiliated, mortified or smeared for I am God, thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob."
SHALL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME …….that I am the Lord; for they shall not be put to shame who wait for, look for, hope for, and expect Me.
I will renew my strength and power and mount up with wings as eagles… go close to God and understand His perfect will concerning my situation.
The finished work of Christ on the cross is something that baffles understanding and cannot be explained by the natural man…. except that we have been qualified by the gift of forgiveness which is grace.
At the ninth hour the son in the trinity profile was temporarily severed, separated, estranged, parted, disunited and sundered because of our sloppy sins. This however signalled the moment of our justification and the beacon of our reconciliation
Satan may tend to overdo the gloom in most marriages. Ask yourself: Did God say tolerate each other in marriage?
He says to value one another without interference from a third party. Don’t underestimate the word of God in that verse of the scripture concerning your marriage, it is the introductory crash course we need to make our marriage work, there are many other notable crash courses ....
- Ivan Ukiwah
May God richly bless your marriage and illuminate your understanding of His word concerning your marriage. It may seem quite difficult because of the transition going from being single to being couple and being a family but God in His infinite grace , wisdom and mercy will provide round the clock care for you and your partner. He will never leave you or forsake you. His promise will abide in your home and your heart in Jesus’ name Amen
We are often freaked out by problems because we retain a good appetite to invest in the problem rather than understand how the chemistry of the problem can be used to turn things around and shake off the problem.
Henry Ford described failure as a blessing, an opportunity to begin again more intelligently
Anger is an emotional state that can range from minor irritation to intense rage and if left unchecked can damage marital relationships. Anger allows the devil to take control of a marriage and cause chaos. It is important to control anger, be honest with yourself if you are vulnerable to anger, seek help if needed, and do not allow anger to damage your partner or leave emotional scars. The Bible teaches that we must subdue sin, including anger, and be its master in order to have healthy relationships.
Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer.
Warped Sense of Priorities
We very often need to reprioritize our lives to make time for love, sex and affection in our marriages.
The document discusses the nature of love through a series of quotes and poems. Love is described as not being seasonal, clinical, cheeky, or classy, but rather classic and benign. Love bolsters those experiencing it and can heal pain, sadness, and frustration. Through love, one can become strong, confident, sheltered, and learn true and eternal wisdom. Love is portrayed as a positive emotion that is archived in every rational being.
The author addresses God as "Daddy" and expresses gratitude for God's love, protection, and forgiveness. They acknowledge God's power over nature and humanity. The author finds comfort and strength in trusting God, and ends by asking God to put a smile on someone's face that day.
A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. He that giveth to the poor shall not lack. We have to understand the word of God is the breath of life and convergence with the word could produce very different result if we live by it and exercise our faith-This is categorically the agenda and faith bullet that was used by Christ and it netted some interesting and frankly unique miracles. Faith was an adequate justication for all his extraordinary and miraculous interference with our mudane world. A world without Jesus Christ is inadequate, vulnerable and defenceless.

2. Through him (Christ Jesus) and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles (Sinners) to the obedience that comes from faith. Romans 1: 5 Christian-Update International
3. LANGUAGE OF CREATION Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Romans 1:24-25 Christian-Update International
4. LANGUAGE OF CREATION SHAMEFUL LUSTS Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Romans 1:26-27 Christian-Update International
5. LANGUAGE OF CREATION SHAMEFUL LUSTS Shameful lust described in verses 26-27 of Romans chapter 1 mirrors the destruction of God’s work. It is totally irresponsible and unacceptable for people to want to conceal the message which the Pope was ordained to preach and teach. He is only a messenger and a disciple of Jesus Christ. He must preach, teach and listen to God for instructions to humanity without excuse. Christian-Update International
6. God's Wrath Against Mankind The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. Romans 1:18 Christian-Update International
