Quran Surah 2:136,
“Say, we believe in Allah and in what has been revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribe, in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what the prophets received from their Lord; we make not distinction between any of them.”
Guardian Masterclass: How to run a purpose-driven businessSally Hill
The slides delivered by Sally Hill from Wildwon in two Guardian Masterclasses in 2016 about how to define and use purpose in a business, and an overview of the landscape of sustainable, ethical, responsible business and social enterprise.
The Bible is very clear as to what our purpose in this life should be. Men in both the Old and New Testaments sought for and discovered life’s purpose. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, according to scripture, discovered the futility of life when it is lived only for this world. He gives these concluding remarks in the book of Ecclesiastes: 13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil”. - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.

" faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Did you notice that faith involves "evidence" of things "not seen"? The marginal rendering of "substance" is "assurance." Faith involves an assurance "of things hoped for." But, if something is hoped for, that something has not yet been received. Therefore, where faith is involved, there is an assurance that it will be received!

3. What is Foundational for Discipling Someone? Notes (A4)William Anderson
This is the third of four sessions of our “Being and Making Disciples” workshop held in Săcele on September 1, 2012. In this session we answered the question “What is Foundational for Discipling Someone? by looking at what to do to help build a strong foundation in the life of those we disciple. The topics covered included looking the big picture, being vs doing, the gospel of Jesus, three main tools Jesus uses, it’s all about Jesus, our heart motivation and our new identity.
What jesus taught about manifesting abundanceCHIRAGCHAUHAN72
The 15-Minute Manifestation program is the brainchild of personal development coach, Eddie Sergey. It consists of three 15-minute audio meditation tracks. People can use the tracks to help manifest positive changes in their lives, including wealth, health, love, and happiness.
The goal of the Christian life is not to become a "better you" but to become a more Christlike "you". This message examines the foundations of spiritual growth into Christlikeness.
Making converts, gaining decisions, does not equal making disciples. It is essential we look at the right ideas, in the right way to make real disciples of King Jesus.
It is common to refer to the process of maturing as a disciple as spiritual formation. Here, based upon work by Greg Ogden, I give a four stage process for growing into maturity, and fruitfulness, as a follower of King Jesus.
Jesus expected a process of change, growth and development in the life of his followers. Many writers suggest a three or four stage process. A four stage process is outlined here, along with personal challenge / application.
Disciple-Making, according to Greg Ogden requires at least tow major factors: Internalisation and Multiplication. This presentation adds to his ideas with some scripture and illustrative ideas challenging followers of Christ to become, and make, disciples in his image.
Name someone...who has impacted your life.
Disiple-making is a deliberate act requiring discipline and dedication
