Live Laugh Love
This document contains summaries and excerpts from several biblical passages. It discusses Paul's prayers for the church in Colossae regarding their faith, love, hope, and knowledge of God's will. It also references Epaphras's prayers for the church. Finally, it provides short quotes about living each day, laughing, loving beyond words, commitment to serving together as a team, and speaking the truth in love.
What Good Will It Be For Someone To Gain The Whole World Yet Forfeit Their Soul
The document discusses Jesus' temptation in the desert and his instruction to his disciples to deny themselves, take up their crosses, and follow him. It contrasts Jesus humbling himself and enduring the cross to gain salvation for humanity with gaining worldly power and authority but forfeiting one's soul. Several passages emphasize that without love, even great gifts and sacrifices are worthless. The overall message is about humbling oneself before God and prioritizing spiritual salvation over earthly gains.
The Good News About Jesus In Colour
The document discusses the symbolic meanings behind different colors in relation to Christian teachings about Jesus: black represents sin, red represents Jesus' blood sacrifice to forgive sins, white represents being cleansed from sin through faith in Jesus, gold represents heaven, green represents spiritual growth, and becoming a follower of Jesus involves coming to him as the living stone.
Struck Down But Unconquered
Indian Christian leaders have urged the government to ensure justice and protection for Christians following at least 23 reported incidents of anti-Christian violence in the last two months. This includes an attack where a mob of 50 Hindus surrounded a church and beat two Christian women with wooden clubs and sticks, leaving them seriously injured and unconscious. The document discusses Paul's experience of persecution including being beaten, pelted with stones, and shipwrecked, but finding strength and hope through Christ who gives victory.
Faith (RISK)

- Doug Norton reflects on how one's perspective changes from the beginning to the end of an experience.
- A Bible passage recounts Jesus healing a blind man in two stages.
- Moses expresses reluctance in being chosen by God to lead the Israelites due to lack of public speaking ability.
- A passage from Jeremiah describes God choosing him as a prophet from a young age and reassuring him.
- Brief quotes offer encouragement on having faith in God and trusting in his power.
Harvest - GIVE
Christian giving is different because it reflects God's generous character and is motivated by worship of God rather than selfish concerns. It values poor people as God values them and sees giving as an investment for eternity rather than something with just temporary value. Christian giving expresses worship of God through generous gifts that are a fragrant offering to him.
Are You So Dull
The document discusses Jesus criticizing the Pharisees and teachers of the law for following man-made traditions instead of God's commands. Jesus says they honor God with their lips but their hearts are far from Him, as they set aside God's commands to observe their own traditions. Jesus teaches that what comes into a person cannot defile them, but what comes out of the heart is what defiles. The document contrasts man's traditions which are outward forms of bondage and trifling rules, with God's truth which is inward faith and liberty based on fundamental principles and true holiness that exalts God's word.
Power to the People (Part 1)
The Holy Spirit empowers Christians for mission by reminding them that mission is inclusive of all people and empowering them with new courage. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples as tongues of fire, filling them and allowing all people present to hear the disciples speaking in their own languages. This showed that the mission of the church is to include people from all nations and backgrounds. The Holy Spirit then gives Christians courage to carry out this inclusive mission.
For the Common Good
This document discusses building up the body of Christ through participation, partnership, and using spiritual gifts. It emphasizes that as members of Christ's body, we each have different gifts given by the Holy Spirit for the common good. It encourages readers to arm themselves with Christ's attitude, live for God not sinful desires, and use their gifts to serve others faithfully as they build up the church in love. The goal is for God to be praised through our united service as we go forward in hope, faith, and love.
Imitating Christ's Humility
1. The document discusses Jesus teaching his disciples about humility and service through his actions. It describes how he rode humbly on a colt to fulfill prophecy, and how he served others by dying on the cross.
2. It then talks about developing a humble, Christ-like attitude by looking to others' interests, having God's perspective of seeing one's need for grace, and walking humbly with God through teachability and recognizing gifts come from him.
3. True humility is based on dependence on God's grace, caring more about his approval than one's reputation, and being willing to own mistakes.
A God Who Safely Delivers His People
The document is a sermon discussing how God led the Israelites out of Egypt and through the Red Sea. It discusses how God led them through the desert in a pillar of cloud and fire, though an unpredictable route to confuse their pursuers. It describes how the Israelites were trapped between the Egyptian army and the Red Sea, but through God's power the sea was parted and they passed through safely. The sermon concludes by drawing lessons on having faith in God during difficult times.
The Pathway To Peace
The document discusses various topics related to peace, conflict, and what Jesus said about violence and peace. It provides biblical verses and summaries of casualties from several wars throughout history, including World War 1 where 900,000 soldiers and 100,000 civilians lost their lives. It also discusses how to experience peace with God and others through faith, prayer, thankfulness, living harmoniously, and leaving revenge to God.
Why Easter Is Decisive
The document discusses the significance of Easter and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It argues that if Christ was not resurrected, then Christian faith is useless. However, if he was resurrected, then Jesus guarantees life after death for believers and the gift of the Holy Spirit. The resurrection means Jesus conquered death and believers can have new life both before and after death. To experience this new life, one must confess that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that God raised him from the dead. The evidence for the resurrection is compelling according to investigations. Believers are called to stop doubting and have faith in the resurrection.
Why Doubt
God's apprenticeship scheme aims to help believers grow in their faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ through lifelong learning. Jesus aims to prepare his disciples for life in Christ, equip them for service, and build their faith through applied learning rather than just verbal teaching. One example is when Jesus walks on water and rescues Peter from sinking, telling him "You of little faith, why did you doubt?" showing that faith even as small as a mustard seed can accomplish great things. The Holy Spirit now serves as believers' teacher and counselor to remind them of all Jesus said.
Children at Risk 2014
This document discusses several issues that put children at risk globally, including lack of birth registration, child labor, environmental diseases, orphanhood, lack of healthcare, and witnessing domestic violence. It provides statistics on each issue from organizations like UNICEF and WHO. It also shares the story of Odilia, a 17-year-old from Guatemala who suffered abuse as a child. The document encourages supporting organizations like Viva and concludes with a prayer asking God to help communities become safer places for children to grow up.
Be Thankful To God For Christ
Paul writes a letter to the church in Colossae to encourage them and refute heretical teachings. He thanks God for their faith, love, and fruitfulness since hearing the gospel. Paul has been continuously praying for their spiritual wisdom, understanding, and growth so that they may please God and bear fruit. His goal is to encourage and unite the believers in their knowledge and understanding of Christ.
Who Do People Say The Son Of Man Is
1. Jesus asks his disciples who people say he is, and they reply that some say he is John the Baptist, Elijah, or other prophets.
2. Jesus then asks the disciples directly who they say he is. Simon Peter answers that Jesus is the Messiah and Son of the living God.
3. Jesus tells Peter that this revelation did not come from man but from God, and that Jesus will build his church upon Peter, giving him the keys of the kingdom of heaven.

08 August 28, 2011 Philippians, Chapter One
The document provides an overview and summary of Paul's letter to the Philippians, with a focus on the theme of joy. It discusses how joy is a gift from God and is experienced through believing in God's son, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and obeying God's word. It also notes how joy can be deepened through trials. The summary then briefly introduces Paul and Timothy as bond servants of Christ who viewed themselves as slaves of the Lord.
We are not ashamed 1
This document outlines elements of effectively communicating the gospel message based on examples from the Bible. It discusses that believers should (1) communicate the gospel orally with passion, (2) teach the essential truths and content of the gospel message, including Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, and (3) explain and read scripture to others about Jesus. The document encourages Christians to follow the examples of figures like Paul and Philip in sharing their faith unashamedly.
Jesus was the baptizer in the holy spirit
The document discusses that Jesus is the baptizer in the Holy Spirit. It provides several biblical references that show Jesus baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit, including quotes from John, Luke, Mark, and Acts. The document emphasizes that Jesus poured out the Holy Spirit and that every believer should seek baptism in the Holy Spirit from Jesus.
08 August 28, 2011 Philippians, Chapter One
This document provides a summary of a sermon given on Philippians 1:1. It discusses the key themes of joy and being servants/slaves of Christ. Some main points:
- True joy comes from being at peace with God and others, not from circumstances. It is a gift from God produced by the Holy Spirit.
- Believers are called to be bond-servants or slaves of Christ, willingly submitting to his authority like an Old Testament slave. Paul referred to himself as a bond-servant, though he had great status and credentials.
- At the judgment seat of Christ, believers will be evaluated for rewards based on the eternal works and motives, not saved or unsaved.
176972982 revelation-1
- John was exiled to the island of Patmos by the Roman Emperor for preaching about Jesus. While there, Jesus appeared to him and told him to write down the revelations.
- John saw a vision of Jesus looking glorious, with white hair, flaming eyes, and a voice like rushing water. Jesus held seven stars in his right hand and had a sharp two-edged sword coming from his mouth, which represents the Word of God.
- When John saw Jesus, he fell down as if dead. But Jesus comforted him and told him to write down what he had seen and send messages to seven churches in Asia Minor.
In the spirit Revelation 1
The document provides an overview and summary of Revelation 1. It describes how John receives a revelation from Jesus Christ about events that would soon take place. John is told to write down what he sees and send letters to 7 churches in Asia. When John turns to see the voice speaking to him, he sees Jesus standing among 7 golden lampstands. Jesus appears royal and glorious, with eyes like fire. He holds 7 stars and a sharp sword comes from his mouth. Jesus tells John not to be afraid and reminds him that he is the living one who was dead but is now alive forevermore.
Fishers of men
Jesus called Matthew and some fishermen to follow him and become "fishers of men", spreading the gospel and helping others find faith. Matthew went on to write the gospel of Matthew, chronicling Jesus' teachings. Many disciples like Matthew, Luke, Paul and others in the book of Acts helped spread Christianity beyond Israel by faithfully sharing Jesus' message wherever they went, using their own talents to benefit others. God can use anyone willing to follow him.
The holy spirit testifies about jesus
This is all about the Holy Spirit, who is also called the Spirit of truth and the Advocate testifying about Jesus.
201880506 signs-and-wonders-by-maria-woodworth-etter
This document provides an abridged biography of Maria Woodworth-Etter, a 19th century Christian evangelist known for her ministry of signs and wonders. It summarizes her childhood growing up without parents in poverty, her early desire to know God at age 8, and her first attempt to convert at age 13 where she felt deeply moved by Jesus' love but did not fully convert. The introduction provides context on Woodworth-Etter's powerful and influential ministry pre-dating the Pentecostal movement and emphasis on healing, miracles, and spiritual gifts.
Binding and Loosing
In Matthew 16:19 and 18:18 we are told that whatever is bound in heaven, we can bind on earth and whatever is loosed in heaven, we can loose on earth. The Greek word translated "bind" also means knit, tie and wrap.
Jesus commented on the need for binding evil in Matt 12:29. Jesus explained that we must first bind the strongman before we can plunder his house. When we are facing an evil stronghold in life, we must first use our inherited authority as children of God to bind the evil forces involved. After that, we can loose, or call forth God's plans for restoration.
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them" (Matt 18:18-20 NIV)
When we bind something, we declare it unlawful (or evil) based on God's word. Because we stand as co-heirs in Jesus Christ, we have his authority to execute this judgment on the forces of evil (Psalm 149:5-9).
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit : The Father's Promised Gift
Here is my attempt to explain in short fashion what the Bible has to tell us about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, complete with my own short testimony of who God “zapped” me in as a Marine Lieutenant in Japan in 1973. God wants to fill us all again and again with His Spirit so we can be powerful and fruitful witnesses for Him here and around the world.
Pray for God to fill you again and to baptize you with His Spirit if you have never experienced that.
Ellen G. White Mission And Message From Scripture
The document discusses Ellen G. White and her role as a prophet. It provides biblical parallels between John the Baptist and Ellen G. White, noting that both bore witness and testimony of Jesus Christ. It also addresses criticisms of Ellen G. White by some, but responds that God appointed her to bear His word and that rejecting her testimony would be similar to rejecting Christ, as the Jews did.
Sermon Slide Deck: "The Core Value Of The Gospel" (1 Corinthians 15:1-9)
We value the Gospel because it is the life-changing Good News of what Jesus did for us.
The message was given on October 26, 2014 at New City Church in Calgary by Pastor John Ferguson. For more info visit: www.newcitychurch.ca
Lk 9 1-6_bumped-from-the-nest
Jesus called the twelve apostles together and gave them power over demons and to heal diseases. He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and heal the sick. He instructed them to take nothing on their journey except the clothes they were wearing. They were to stay in whatever house welcomed them until leaving the area. Wherever they were not received, they were to shake the dust off their feet as a testimony against that place. The apostles then departed and went throughout the villages preaching and healing.
Jesus was the faithful witness
This document provides commentary on Revelation 1:5, which describes Jesus Christ as the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. The commentary discusses what it means for Jesus to be the faithful witness and how his testimony can always be trusted. It also examines his role as the firstborn from the dead and what that signifies about his resurrection. Finally, it analyzes Jesus being the ruler over the kings of the earth and how he currently exercises authority over all worldly rulers.
In his service Part 1
The document discusses God's plan for humanity as outlined in the Bible. It notes that people were created for worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism. It then provides biblical examples of Jesus and the disciples fulfilling God's mission, discusses key dimensions like the biblical, historical, cultural and strategic aspects, and outlines how the early church spread the message of the gospel throughout the world in obedience to the Great Commission.
ACTS 3
1. Peter and John heal a lame beggar at the temple gate, astonishing the onlookers.
2. In response, Peter preaches to the crowd, emphasizing that it was through faith in Jesus, not their own power, that the man was healed. He urges them to repent and turn to God.
3. Peter tells them they disowned the Holy One, Jesus, but God raised him from the dead as foretold by the prophets. He reminds them that through Abraham all peoples will be blessed.
Apostasy english
The document outlines how Jesus Christ organized his church after being baptized by John the Baptist. He called apostles, seventies, bishops, priests, teachers, and missionaries to preach the gospel and act with priesthood authority. However, the early church experienced a great apostasy as prophets foretold, as members fell away from the true doctrine and false teachers arose. Opposition from outside forces like Jews and Romans also contributed to the corruption of Christian principles and loss of priesthood keys by the first century AD, leading to a widespread apostasy from which restoration was needed.
Seven people - peter (july 14, 2013)
This document discusses the transformation of the Apostle Peter from an impulsive and overconfident man to a rock of the early church. It outlines key facts about Peter from the gospels, including that he was the first disciple called and the one spoken to most often by Jesus. As Simon, Peter was unembarrassedly self-confident and unquestionably impulsive. The document argues that two keys led to Peter's transformation: proximity to Jesus and developing humility and teachability. It encourages applying these lessons by prioritizing time with Jesus and cultivating true humility.
1533023221_LESSON 13.pptx
The document discusses the ascension of Jesus and the mission of evangelization given to the disciples. It describes how Jesus appeared to the disciples for 40 days after his resurrection, teaching them about the kingdom of God. On the 40th day, Jesus ascended to heaven. He told the disciples to remain in Jerusalem until receiving the Holy Spirit, and then to spread the good news to all nations. The disciples went on to evangelize the known world, establishing the early Church and its foundations through their preaching, letters, and martyrdom. Today each baptized Christian continues this mission of evangelization.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.
Tales of This and Another Life - Chapters.pdf
This book is one of the best of the translated ones, for it has a warning character for all those who find themselves in the experience of material life. Irmão X provides a shrewd way of describing the subtleties and weaknesses that can jeopardize our intentions, making us more attentive and vigilant by providing us with his wise pages, reminding us between the lines of the Master's words: "Pray and watch."
