APEDS 2016 Day2 Our Spiritual Influence
The document discusses spiritual influence and leadership. It suggests that everyone wants to lead but no one wants the responsibility, and that cultures have corrupted the meaning of leadership. True spiritual leaders accept responsibility, do not lord over others, and are remembered for their obedience. Spiritual influence involves more than decisions - it is unseen influence. Followers of Christ should encourage the timid, help the weak, and be kind to all. Spiritual gifts should be used to build up the body of Christ. The document provides guidance on expanding spiritual influence through believing in it, guarding credibility, being driven by Christ's values, and always working in partnership with trust and by learning.
The individual christian and the church
This document discusses the distinction between individual Christian responsibilities and the responsibilities of the church as a collective body. It argues that Christians as individuals can be involved in government, own businesses, educate their families, and provide for social needs, but there is no biblical authority for the church to collectively take on these roles. The church's role is to function as the body of Christ through collective action that benefits its members, not to replace or take over responsibilities that belong to individuals.
two levels of faith
This document discusses two levels of faith: faith in people and faith in God. Faith in people refers to the trust we place in other humans like our parents, friends, and teachers. We rely on these people in our daily lives. Faith in God is defined as our personal response to God's self-revelation through Jesus Christ according to the teachings of the Catholic Church. This faith is both a gift from God through divine revelation and His grace, as well as a task requiring our cooperation with His call to love and friendship.
Whats A Friend
A good friend is someone you can trust and count on for support when you are feeling down, who will be there for you no matter what. Good friends are loyal and supportive, and when you find a true friend you should work to maintain that friendship over time. In short, a good friend is defined by trust, loyalty, and support.
