Desire The Fire
The document contains excerpts from the Bible and instructions to "TAP into God" by thanking him, asking him, and praising him. It discusses how the priests could not perform their duties because God's glory and a cloud filled the Temple as the people praised God with music and song for his goodness and enduring mercy. It encourages believers to be filled with the Spirit by singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God with their heart, always giving him thanks.
Spiritual passion 4 church staff
The basic information needed by church staff to raise the spiritual passion of their church. This presentation made to Lakewood UMC (Houston area) on 1/15/2015.
Fired Up Ccc
This document provides guidance on stirring up and rekindling the inner spiritual fire. It encourages attendees of a retreat to make time for God, prepare their hearts to listen, and dwell in stillness. It discusses talking to oneself by declaring God's unchanging truths rather than listening to feelings. Maintaining the inner fire requires fuel, oxygen, and heat through stirring up embers, fanning the flame, and keeping it concentrated. The gift of God equips believers for kingdom impact through their spiritual gifts.
The Cycle of Renewal
Many leaders begin well but few end well. This is because there are forces at work in the very process of becoming a leader and in exercising that leadership that, if not addressed, will eventually cause that leader to derail. One of the essential skills for addressing these destructive forces is the ability to lead oneself into periods of personal and professional renewal. This presentation outlines the steps toward developing that ability.
life cycle of the Organization
The document discusses the life cycle of organizations, including maturity, decline, and death. It describes the typical stages of organizational maturity, from level 1 where success depends on individual relationships to level 5 where teamwork exists across the organization and continuous process improvement is undertaken. Key factors that can contribute to organizational decline are discussed, such as age, size, financial success, ownership structure, and inability to adapt to environmental changes. The stages of decline decrease an organization's ability to attract resources until eventual dissolution and death occur. Managers are advised to analyze their environment, structure, and sources of inertia to prevent decline.
Buckets #1 - 15 March 2020 - Bruce McCallum
The document contains passages from the Bible about Christians being the salt of the earth and the light of the world. It discusses how Christians must not withdraw from society but remain distinctive in order to have influence and let their light shine. It emphasizes the importance of not conforming to worldly patterns of thinking and instead transforming one's mind through focusing on scripture. Specific scriptures highlighted include substituting negative thoughts with passages about thinking on things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely and praiseworthy. The overall message is that Christians should prepare their minds for positive action by stopping negative thoughts and building new thought patterns based on scripture.

The Two Series #4: Foundations and the Secret Life - Bruce McCallum - 1 March...El Shaddai Christian Church
This document contains Jesus' teaching from Matthew 7:24-28 about building one's life and faith on either a rock foundation or a sandy one. It also discusses building a "secret life with Jesus" through practices like tithing, prayer, and fasting. Finally, it encourages living with eternity in view and being disciples who make other disciples. The overall message is about building a strong spiritual foundation in Christ that can withstand life's storms by hearing God's word and obeying it through daily spiritual disciplines.The Flame, The Gift & The Guard - 23 February 2020 -Clayton Nel
Timothy is reminded to fan into flame the gift of God within him. God gives power, love and self-discipline, not a timid spirit. Paul urges Timothy to not be ashamed of testifying to Christ. God saves believers and calls them to a holy life not for any works but for His grace. Paul was appointed to preach this gospel. Though suffering, Paul is not ashamed knowing God will guard what is entrusted until the final day. Timothy is told to guard the good deposit with the help of the Holy Spirit.

The Two Series #3 - Obedience - 16 February 2020 - Bruce McCallum
The document discusses Jesus' teaching about obedience to his words. It provides the parable of two house builders, one who built his house on rock by obeying Jesus' words, and one who built on sand by merely hearing but not obeying. The document then gives five points about obedience: 1) Obey God and leave the consequences to him, 2) Make obedience a joy, 3) Obedience is the way to receive more of the Holy Spirit, 4) Obedience is how we show love to Jesus, and 5) Intimacy with God results from joyful obedience to his commands.
The Two series: Part 2 - Bruce McCallum - 9 February 2020
The passage describes two types of people - those who hear Jesus' words and put them into practice, and those who only hear them but do not practice them. It compares the former to a wise man who built his house on a solid rock foundation, allowing it to withstand storms, while the latter are like a foolish man who built on sand, causing his house to collapse in the storms. When Jesus finished speaking, the crowds were amazed by his teaching.
The Two Series #1 - 2 February 2020 - Bruce McCallum
The document describes Jesus teaching about the importance of putting his words into practice rather than just hearing them. It compares those who hear Jesus' words and follow them to a wise man who built his house on a solid rock foundation, allowing it to withstand storms. Those who only hear but do not act are like a foolish man who built on sand, causing his house to collapse in the face of difficulties. When Jesus finished teaching, the crowds were amazed at the power and uniqueness of his message.
2020 Vision - 26 January - Bruce McCallum
This document contains summaries of biblical passages about placing one's life before God as an offering, making disciples of all nations by baptizing them and teaching them to obey God's commands, and being disciples who make other disciples. It encourages spending 20 minutes a day connecting with God and 20 minutes with others. The overarching message is about evangelism, spiritual revival, and transforming society through God's kingdom.
Vision 2020 - 19 January 2020 - Bruce McCallum
This document provides recommendations for Bible reading resources and methods, as well as guidance on evangelism and discipleship. It recommends the BioY and YouVersion Bible apps and using the SOAP method of Scripture reading, which involves reading a passage, making observations, applying it personally, and praying. It also emphasizes the importance of vision, making disciples, and living as "sheep among wolves" to evangelize in the current era through fathering, reviving the church through community, and transforming society through kingdom initiatives.
Radical Community - 12 January 2020 - Clayton Nel
Christianity helped revitalize cities in the Greco-Roman world by providing new social norms and relationships to address common problems. It offered charity and hope to the poor and homeless. It also provided a sense of community and family for strangers and orphans/widows. Christianity formed new social bonds that reduced ethnic conflict and established effective healthcare during crises like epidemics, fires and earthquakes. Overall, Christianity constructed a new culture that improved life in cities.
Look Up - Bruce McCallum - 25 December 2019
This document discusses how everything changed for Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the wise men when they looked up to God. It describes how Mary accepted God's plan when the angel visited her. Joseph received clarity in a dream when he looked to God. The shepherds were filled with joy when they saw the baby Jesus, as the angels had said. The wise men followed the star and brought gifts when they found Jesus. The key message is that looking to God through faith can change our perspectives and lives.
Slow Down, Be Thankful - 22 December 2019 - Michael Howard
The document discusses the importance of slowing down and being thankful. It references passages from the Bible that encourage replacing comparison with contentment, slowing down each day to spend time with God, and being thankful for both blessings and trials, as they help us grow. Living with a thankful and expectant attitude allows God to work infinitely more than we can imagine.
Busy not Hurried - 8 December 2019 - Bruce McCallum
This document discusses the concept of "hurry sickness", which is defined as a constant struggle to accomplish more in less time against perceived opposition from others. It notes that while being busy is an outward condition, being hurried is an inner condition that prevents being fully present with God, oneself, and others. Some signs of hurry sickness include speeding up, sighing frequently, encouraging others to accelerate, feeling annoyed by waits, having clutter, and experiencing "sunset fatigue". The document warns that hurry can decrease compassion and increase anxiety, harm relationships, and lead to a superficial existence. It recommends slowing down, practicing solitude, and being still to know God.
Thank You - 1 December 2019 - Bruce McCallum
1. This document discusses living a life of thankfulness to God. It encourages believing that God is great, perfect, loving, fair, good, kind and merciful.
2. It recommends expressing thanks to God through heartfelt singing, learning to say thank you, volunteering one's abilities, and making thankfulness a regular practice.
3. The conclusion is that heaven will be filled with eternal thanks to God, and that a grateful attitude is important in life rather than taking things for granted.
Jonah Series Part 6 - 24 November 2019 - Bruce McCallum
The document discusses lessons that can be learned from the story of Jonah and how it relates to Jesus. It summarizes seven key points: 1) Have faith without needing signs, like Jonah's time in the whale foreshadowed Jesus. 2) Love requires sacrifice, as Jesus sacrificed himself. 3) God loves and accepts people unconditionally, like the prodigal son. 4) Sometimes you must hit rock bottom before rising up, as Jonah did. 5) Have compassion for others, as Jesus wept for Jerusalem. 6) Break down divisions, as the Good Samaritan helped people of other groups. 7) Spread God's message to others everywhere, as Jesus commanded his followers to go forth.
Jonah Chapter 4 - 17 November 2019 - Clayton Nel
Jonah is displeased and angry that God spared the people of Nineveh from destruction after they repented. Jonah complains to God, wishing to die rather than see the people spared. God questions whether Jonah's anger is justified, and points out that Jonah cares for a plant that required no work but will not pity the great city of Nineveh and its people who know not their right hand from their left. God shows more compassion even for Nineveh's people and livestock than Jonah does.

Jonah - God's Heart & Our Part in The City Part 3 - 27 October 2019 - Bruce M...El Shaddai Christian Church
The document summarizes the biblical story of Jonah. It describes how Jonah fled from God's command by boarding a ship to Tarshish, away from God's presence. However, God hurled a great storm at the sea, endangering the ship. Though the sailors prayed to their gods, Jonah slept, showing his disregard for God. The document uses Jonah's story to convey that one cannot escape God's presence and mercy, even through great storms, and that arrogance towards God will not go unpunished.Jonah - God's Heart and Our Part in the City - Part 2
This document discusses how Jesus and Jonah both got "broken by brokenness". It describes how Jesus had compassion for broken people and wept over Jerusalem. Jonah initially fled from God's call to preach to the broken people of Nineveh but ultimately went and preached to them. The document encourages readers to find what or who breaks their heart, get their heart transformed by God, avoid numbness to brokenness, and pray to have God break their heart for what breaks his. It contrasts the "failed Jonah" who ran from brokenness with the "ultimate Jonah", Jesus, who drew near and wept for the broken.
Jonah - God's Heart and our Part in the City - 6 October 2019 - Bruce McCallum
Jonah - God's Heart and our Part in the City - 6 October 2019 - Bruce McCallumEl Shaddai Christian Church
Jonah was instructed by God to go preach against the wicked city of Nineveh. However, Jonah fled from God's command and boarded a ship to Tarshish instead. Both Adam and Eve and Jonah went against God's instructions - Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree, while Jonah fled from preaching to Nineveh as God commanded. There are two ways people run from God - some reject Him outright, while others claim to follow Him but do not truly know or obey His will. In the end, both groups turn away from God. The document challenges the reader to be willing to go where God sends them and trust Him even if His commands are not fully understood.The Us Series #8 - 29 September 2019 - Bruce McCallum
This document discusses self-control and how to regain it. It provides biblical passages about self-control and the importance of building "the wall of self-control." It lists triggers that can lead to a lack of self-control like hunger, anger, loneliness, and tiredness. To regain self-control, one should: depend on Jesus, acknowledge issues, forget the past, talk back to feelings, believe change is possible, make oneself accountable, and avoid temptation. Maintaining self-control is important for leadership and living a godly life.
Attracted and Attractive - 22 September 2019 - Andre Webster
The document contains several passages from the Bible about attracting others to God and living an attractive life. It discusses living with love, wisdom and peace to create harmony. Making Jesus Christ attractive to others involves living a fruitful life that shows his character. Living without jealousy or competition in a way that is pure, peaceful, humble and brings order creates beauty that can influence the world.
Us Series - Perseverance - Bruce McCallum - 15 September 2019
This document discusses the importance of perseverance. It provides several Bible verses that emphasize the need to persevere in doing good works and not grow weary. Examples are given of Joseph and Paul who finished well by persevering through difficulties. The document encourages persevering in areas like marriage, family, illness and prayer. It notes that God's plans may not happen immediately but will surely come to pass if we are patient and do not lose faith. The importance of persevering to the end is emphasized.

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.
