So what do we who love God and His Word do when our cultures clash with God’s Word? We do what believers have been doing for centuries. We keep speaking that Word because the Word of God is the will of God.
What is one thing we can do that would positively affect society and bring stability to the cultures of the world? Speak forth the truths of God’s Word boldly and consistently to educate the public mind on what God truly desires for His people and for society.
Jesus Christ our promised seed is the fulcrum of all history. By gaining a greater understanding of God’s promised redeemer, we can grow in our love and appreciation for what Jesus Christ accomplished.

Once we understand what God’s Word says about environmental concerns, we can make proper decisions on how to steward the resources He has provided us—decisions that are motivated out of love and thankfulness to God rather than out of fear.
The document discusses that while preparation is important, true safety ultimately comes from God. It provides several biblical examples of people who trusted in God and were protected from harm. The key points are that we should have faith in God's promises by meditating on his word, pray and cast our cares on him, plan and prepare with wisdom, and speak God's word boldly to overcome fears. True protection belongs to the Lord rather than relying on our own strength.
As believers, we study God’s Word, fellowship around His Word, and speak His Word. God gives the increase and we grow spiritually. As we do, fruit is produced in our lives. This fruit is reflected in the quality of our lives and shows others the goodness of God.
In sharing the greatness of God’s Word with others, there is nothing quite like speaking to someone face-to-face. When face-to-face with someone, our words combine with our facial expressions, voice intonation, body language, and other nonverbal cues to provide the most accurate message. Our heavenly Father has equipped us in body, soul, and spirit as His messengers to communicate and fully share His heart with others.
If God is good always, then where does evil come from? Why does it seem as though God sometimes carried out evil in the Bible? By seeing what God has to say about Himself in His Word and by recognizing the real source of evil, we can be assured of God’s goodness.
God has given us a purpose for life! As His children, we have been called to serve a cause greater than ourselves, and that is to live for Him and to carry out His purposes. As we stay faithful to God and His Word, fulfilling the good works He has called us to do, we will see God work awesomely.

3) The document encourages believers to take advantage of their access to God and approach him with confidence, as a loving Father, in both times of need and in daily life.
The document describes how the narrator became unhappy at their job when they discovered another coworker was earning a higher wage. An older coworker reminded them that they had agreed to their current wage and had a good job for a new high school graduate. The narrator realized nothing had really changed except their attitude, which had shifted from thankful to entitled. The document encourages maintaining an attitude of thankfulness for the daily benefits and blessings God provides.
As born-again believers, we have been given by God all sufficiency in all things so that we can abound to every good work. One good work we can do out of the love and thankfulness in our hearts to God is to serve God's Word to others.
The document discusses teaching the Bible through a narrative lens rather than a topical one. It notes that viewing the Bible as a cohesive story, from Creation to Christ's return, allows the full context of passages to be understood rather than taking passages out of context. It warns that topical teaching risks putting human opinions above scriptural truth and can lead to biblical illiteracy. The document advocates teaching the biblical narrative and helping students see their own story within the overarching story of God.
The law of believing simply stated, is that what we believe for or expect, we receive. This law can be applied to any category of life, including our business endeavors. “…What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:24.
The Amalekites attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. Moses told Joshua to gather men to fight the Amalekites while Moses and others went to the top of a hill. As long as Moses held his hands up with the staff of God, the Israelites were winning, but when he lowered his hands the Amalekites gained the advantage. Others helped hold up Moses' arms until the Amalekites were defeated at sunset. God then told Moses to write about this battle so Joshua and future generations would remember that God would remain at war with the Amalekites forever. Moses built an altar called "The Lord is my Banner" to commemorate the victory.
The document provides a 3-step method for understanding and applying the Bible: 1) Read it, because Scripture is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, training, testing, defending, keeping God's commandments, and growing spiritually. 2) Understand it by reading, studying, and examining Scripture. 3) Live it by applying what is read and understood. The Bible contains God's truth and is the most important thing, though reading it regularly requires developing good habits.
This document discusses how God pursues a continuing love relationship with humanity that is personal and real. It notes that God is defined by love and has no competitors for our devotion, as shown through sending his son as a sacrifice for our sins. While God's love can be difficult for some to believe, the story of Hagar illustrates how even in her despair, God saw her and provided for her needs. The document encourages readers to pursue knowing God better by looking for where he is at work each day and participating in spiritual growth opportunities.
The document discusses the importance of kneeling before God and Jesus Christ. It provides several biblical examples of figures like the Wise Men, David, Peter, and Jesus himself kneeling in worship, repentance, submission, and prayer. The overarching message is that people can choose to kneel before God now through acts like worship and prayer, or they will have to kneel before Him in judgment later, as the Bible says every knee will bow to Jesus. The presentation encourages readers to kneel before the Lord today.
The document summarizes the key messages about Jesus' birth conveyed in the gospels of Luke.
1) An angel told Mary she would give birth to Jesus, the Son of God, who would reign over Israel forever. 2) Angels announced to shepherds that a Savior, Christ the Lord, had been born for all people. 3) Angels praised God for his mercy and grace, and that peace comes through Jesus to all who have faith in him.

The goal is for believers to work together using their gifts to experience unity, maturity and growth, building each other up through speaking the truth in love.
The benefits of fellowshipping with like-minded believers are numerous, providing profit in body, soul, and spirit. The Book of Acts shows us how this fellowship helps us and helps others by the support given and received among like-minded believers.

In the early days of Christianity, unity among believers was important so they could serve God together. The apostles maintained unity as they prayed in Jerusalem after Jesus' ascension. On Pentecost, the believers were unified and received power from God, speaking in tongues. Later, when Peter and John were threatened for preaching, the believers prayed with one mind for boldness. Maintaining unity of purpose allows believers to effectively serve God and glorify Him.
The document summarizes portions of the book of Nehemiah, beginning with Nehemiah hearing a report that the walls of Jerusalem were broken down and the city was in distress. Nehemiah wept and prayed to God about this. He received permission from the king to go rebuild Jerusalem. Nehemiah rallied the people to rebuild the walls, which they completed in just 52 days despite opposition. The document then lists some lessons from Nehemiah, including having a vision to accomplish good, enlisting help from all, and that the people had a mind to work.
Stephen, a deacon in the early church, did great wonders and miracles among the people despite not being an apostle. Some Jews disputed with Stephen but could not resist the wisdom and spirit with which he spoke. They then suborned false witnesses who said Stephen spoke blasphemously against Moses, God, and the temple. When on trial before the council, Stephen's face shone like an angel, but the council condemned him anyway due to fear and hatred rather than wisdom.
The document discusses the importance of parents imparting their faith to their children. It cites passages encouraging parents to talk about God's commands at home, impress them on their children's hearts, and tell stories of God's mighty acts. The church's role is to equip and encourage parents, pursue excellence in ministry, and stand in the gap for the fatherless. The document encourages aligning values with knowing Christ rather than worldly priorities and living a faith that children see as an adventure rather than just rituals.
Nehemiah heard bad news about the condition of Jerusalem from his brother Hanani. He was saddened and prayed to God, asking Him to intervene. Four months later, when speaking to the king of Persia, Nehemiah requested and received permission to travel to Jerusalem to oversee the rebuilding of its walls. Upon arriving, Nehemiah surveyed the situation himself before creating a careful plan, which he shared with the Jewish leaders. He then encouraged the people to work diligently on reconstructing the walls despite facing opposition, uniting prayer with prudent effort.
Linguistic Diveristy: Babel or PentecpstPaul Woods
The document compares the biblical stories of Babel and Pentecost. It summarizes that at Babel, people acted in pride and arrogance to build a tower without God. In response, God confused their languages and scattered them. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit united people of different languages and allowed them to understand the gospel, gathering nations to announce the good news of Jesus Christ. While Babel brought confusion, Pentecost brought peace and the foundation of the church.
- The document is a sermon discussing the importance of unity, peace, and harmony within the church through being filled with the Holy Spirit and pleasing others rather than ourselves.
- It encourages readers to focus on God, submit to the Holy Spirit, and be constantly reminded of biblical truths in order to produce goodness, knowledge, and gentle admonishment of one another.
- Salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ and being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
The church community is a unit of people who have come together because they are aligned in faith and purpose. Three important descriptors of any true church community should be: unity, fellowship and power. These defined the early community of believers.

1. Nehemiah led the Jews in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem after they had fallen into disrepair. The Jews faced opposition from neighboring groups and grew tired from the difficult work.
2. Their fatigue and frustration mirrored symptoms of burnout. However, Nehemiah rallied the people by reminding them of God's strength and calling them to protect their families.
3. The document then discusses treatments for burnout like resting, prioritizing life, remembering God, and resisting discouragement. It offers the hope and salvation found through accepting Jesus as described in Romans.
The document discusses how churches of Christ can make progress in evangelism and gain momentum. It suggests that churches need direction, focus, and commitment through a plan that glorifies God. The plan should involve sacrificing to spread the gospel so that God is praised and souls are saved, following Christ's example of fruitful service.
The document discusses key aspects of biblical church planting according to JD Payne. It defines church planting as evangelism that results in new churches. Church planting involves sowers, seed, soil, and the Spirit. New believers are to imitate the example of church planters. While difficult, church planting in the Bible was not complex, involving making disciples through preaching, baptizing, and teaching them to obey Christ's commands. The establishment of the church in Thessalonica involved Paul preaching Christ crucified and risen, with some Jews and Greeks believing and imitating the examples of Paul, Silas, and the Lord.
When the Israelites worked together to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, it affected how the surrounding nations and future generations saw and worshipped God. The document outlines how Nehemiah rallied the people to rebuild despite opposition, positioning families to protect the work. Their cooperation resulted in the surrounding nations losing confidence in attacking and future generations worshipping God with renewed joy.
The word of god as a foundation for church growthElvis Amenyitor
1. The early church faced a problem of neglecting widows in daily food distribution. The Twelve appointed seven men to oversee this ministry so they could focus on prayer and preaching.
2. As a result of this change, the word of God spread rapidly and the number of disciples and priests following Christ greatly increased.
3. Building the church requires using the spiritual gifts God has given each believer. Members should discover their gifts, serve others' needs, and use their gifts faithfully and prayerfully for God's glory. Working together in this way expands God's kingdom.
The word of god as a foundation for church growthElvis Amenyitor
1. The early church faced a problem of neglecting widows in daily food distribution which split the Greek and Hebrew followers.
2. The Twelve appointed seven men known for faith, spirit, and wisdom to oversee the distribution so they could focus on prayer and preaching.
3. As a result, the word of God spread rapidly and the number of disciples and priests following Christ greatly increased.
Jesus was a faithful son over god's houseGLENN PEASE
Christ is faithful as the Son over God's house, which is the Church.
The Church is described as God's temple and spiritual house, with Christ as its builder and head. Individual Christians and the whole body of believers together comprise this holy habitation of God.
Personal incorporation into God's house depends on maintaining Christian confidence and hope until the end. Christ proves himself a greater builder than Moses by revealing God as loving Father and by providing unlimited motivational power through his gospel.
The document discusses how the gospel can be articulated as "entering God's rest." It explores what is meant by rest in scripture from Genesis to Revelation. God's rest is not laziness, busyness, or a sense of accomplishment, but finding peace through trusting in God alone rather than one's own works. Jesus invites all who are weary to find rest in him as our Sabbath rest was meant to foreshadow.
God created humans to have companionship and build a relationship with them. The document outlines that people can communicate with God through prayer, both with their own language and in tongues. It emphasizes that God understands all languages and always hears prayers. Speaking in tongues allows effective prayer according to God's will and helps strengthen the intimate relationship God desires with His children.
Living within one’s means is spending only what we have available to us, that is, not spending more than we earn. Having a mind-set of contentment and of not comparing ourselves with others can help us operate the financial stewardship principle of living within our means.
Having a prayer partner is a great way to build an effectual prayer life with our heavenly Father. With our joint believing locked in, we can expect nothing less than God’s mighty hand of deliverance.
The document discusses teamwork as illustrated in the Bible. It provides the example of Jesus and his disciples working together as a unified team to feed over 5,000 people with just five loaves of bread and two fish. With the disciples' support, Jesus was able to perform this miracle. Another example given is of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus working together as a team to host a meal for Jesus, with each contributing in their own way. The document advocates for believers to work together in unity as teams to accomplish God's will and bring his power into the world.
To stay on course with our godly goals, we want to be aware of distractions and learn how to handle them. The Book of Nehemiah shows a fellow laborer with God who stayed on track with his goal, not allowing himself to get distracted from his responsibility. As we pursue our godly goals, we can stay on course just as Nehemiah did.
God wants to take care of His children, to provide the best for them, as any good father would. Do you desire a life of health and prosperity? Would you like to have grace abound toward you and always have all sufficiency in all things? Well, you are not alone, because God wants exactly that for you.
We have a great, big, wonderful God Who wants to bless all of mankind, as evidenced by immutable laws He set in creation governing financial freedom and prosperity. Those born again of God’s spirit have the legal right to claim His blessings in Christ. When we know from God’s Word our legal rights in Christ and walk out on them, we can live the abundant life and be powerful witnesses for the true God.
Jesus Christ helped others grow in their knowledge of God's word by spending quality time with them and teaching them. He provided a protected environment where people could receive the word. As his followers, we can help people grow by making ourselves available, providing safe spaces for learning, and consistently teaching biblical principles. We should aim to care for others and help them mature in their faith, as Jesus modeled as the ultimate shepherd.
God gave the authority for raising children to the parents, and God will provide what is needed. The whole family will enjoy benefits as parents decide to take responsibility and exercise their authority in raising children God’s way.
The document discusses building an attitude of thankfulness. It describes how the author felt inferior to her siblings growing up but her mother taught her an important lesson: to not compare herself and instead focus on her own qualities and staying thankful. The author reflects on staying thankful even when doubting herself by remembering her mother's advice. The document provides suggestions for developing a habit of thankfulness like writing a daily list of things to be grateful for about God, what one has, and others. It encourages the reader to start their own gratitude list to cultivate thankfulness.
Success and failure are both determined by what a person believes to receive. As we practice positive believing—believing the positive words of God’s Word—we will receive the positive results that God desires for each of us.
Each day and each moment of the day we can renew our mind by putting God’s Word in our mind and acting accordingly. When we do this, we can bring God’s power into manifestation in our lives. We choose to renew!
How can we know God? God has revealed Himself by way of His Word and by the life of His Son, Jesus Christ. The Bible is the revealed Word and will of God in writing, and Jesus Christ always did the will of his Father. This is how we can know God.
We can trust God to be our sufficiency. He is able and willing to supply for us both now and in the future. He is well equipped to do this because His ability to supply is unlimited. God has always taken care of those who trust in Him, and He will remain faithful to this commitment, regardless of any conditions in the senses realm.
God is everywhere present. He has ability of this scope and magnitude, yet the relationship He desires with us is a personal one of tender intimacy. He does not watch us to judge and convict us of our shortcomings, but rather to help us walk in the abundant blessings He desires for us. We can be confident and joyful knowing that our Father is always with us.
Our God is not lifeless like an idol, but a living God. He is real, He hears us, and He responds with powerful deliverance when we claim His promises to us. We can see examples of this from God’s Word, and God will do no less for us today as we trust in Him.
II Corinthians 10:5 gives us clear direction for our thoughts. As we read and study God's Word, we can become more adept at redirecting our minds to His truth—thought by thought.
The document discusses the importance and benefits of memorizing and retaining Bible verses. It describes how the author's mother taught them to memorize verses by setting them to music as children. It also gives examples from the lives of Solomon and Jesus about retaining God's word. The summary concludes by providing some practical tips for effectively memorizing scripture, such as understanding the context, minimizing distractions, using repetition, finding what study methods work best, and enjoying the process.
It is available for born-again believers to have fellowship with God! The deeper we get into the Word and the deeper the Word gets into us, the richer and fuller our fellowship with God becomes. As we maintain sweet fellowship with God, our lives are filled with joy.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
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.
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.
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
God calls us to a journey of worshiping Him. In this journey you will encounter different obstacles and derailments that will want to sway you from worshiping God. You got to be intentional in breaking the barriers staged on your way of worship in order to offer God acceptable worship.

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.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
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).
