The master, the mind, the motive, the method

Called to Hawaii
Greg, Emily, Nora and Burke are moving from Ohio to Hawaii so that Greg can help restart a ministry at the University of Hawaii. They will be leaving behind family and friends in Ohio to take on this challenging new role, which will be more expensive due to Hawaii's high cost of living. Their vision is to use the University of Hawaii as a hub to start other campus ministries across the islands, training local leaders to spread the gospel to all ethnic groups in Hawaii and beyond. They are seeking financial partners to support this mission.

Let's come together
This lesson contains a reminder of the importance of prayer in the life of every Christian. It's fundamental to our faith, and just as important to us now as it was to the first century disciples.
Silent Voice Quotes illustrated with Andrea's drawings
This document discusses several examples of "silent voices" throughout history, including Andreas who struggles to communicate through her drawings, isolated elders, and oppressed groups who are not heard. It provides quotes and teachings from various religious and spiritual figures who raised their voices for justice, equality, and spiritual truths, including Baha'u'llah, the Apostles James and John, Psalms, Sufi stories, Emily Dickinson, and Rita Joe.
Proverbs 9a Wisdom versus Folly
1. Wisdom and folly are portrayed as two women each inviting young men to a feast. Wisdom represents a responsible woman of character preparing a proper banquet, while folly is a harlot inviting men to a sensual stolen meal in secret.
2. Wisdom is productive, ensuring her family has a home, food, drink and all needs met through wise use of resources, unlike folly who wastes provisions.
3. The Lord calls out through wisdom to everyone to come, eat and drink, to live wisely, but people can choose to receive or reject this invitation.
Resistance!
Jesus, we are told, went back to his home town. But people there didn't buy his story, and said, essentially: who on earth do you think you are? We have known you forever. And he was amazed to see that he could do no deeds of power there, besides heal a few people (And, really who can't do that? (Joke, obvs.)) (This is my very brief precis of Mark 6:1-6 )
People rejected him because they though they knew what he had to say. That's kind of like our culture - it thinks it knows what Christianity is and who Jesus is, and think they have rejected him. But do they? What is going on here? To open up the discussion we spent a while thinking about different archetypes from our culture, and archetypes who represent more Kingdom values.
It was a good evening, and we had a good conversation, so I was enthused to blog about it (as part of his current Charles Taylor obsession.)
Here's the blurb and a link:
Do you find the story of Jesus' self-giving love profoundly meaningful? Or do you sometimes wonder whether he should have just kept his head down and stuck to carpentry? It's one of the most profound questions of our age.

"Why Are People So Upset? Acts 9:1-4
This document discusses persecution of Christians throughout history and how mankind is often encouraged by Satan to control others. It notes that Saul was persecuting Christians in Damascus until he had a vision of Jesus, showing that persecution of God's people is nothing new. It then suggests that mankind's lust for power is fueled by Satan, the defeated enemy, as people often love darkness rather than light. The document encourages finding victory through waiting on and having faith in Jesus Christ.
Faith persecution
This document discusses faith during times of suffering through references to various people and events. It summarizes the story of St. Alphonsa and her ministry helping the poor, sick, orphaned and dying. It then describes the suffering of Christians in Orissa, India in 2007, where over 5,000 homes were burned, over 18,000 people were injured, and 93 people were killed. Finally, it discusses how faith can be inspired through suffering, referencing the stories of the burning bush and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego surviving the fiery furnace.
TMIY - Becoming a Man after God's Own Heart - Week 14
This document discusses the That Man is You program which aims to help men develop authentic leadership through a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. It outlines the topics that will be covered in the fall and spring semesters, including identifying leadership roles, characteristics of authentic leaders, temptations from Satan, and living in union with God. The program uses wisdom from secular science, religious teachings, and saints to facilitate transformation through discussion and putting an action plan in place.
Sunday Sermon 22.03.09
This document discusses Jesus' use of parables to teach about the Kingdom of God. It defines a parable and explains how Jesus used the Parable of the Sower to reveal the Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is the government of God in heaven and earth. It clarifies that the Kingdom is not the same as the church, which is only a temporary model and part of the larger eternal Kingdom ruled by God. It prompts reflection on whether one has submitted to God's kingdom rule over their life.
The appeal of the gospel
The document discusses how the gospel message is not meant to have universal appeal or be tailored to different audiences. It is designed by God to appeal to spiritual minds rather than carnal minds. If the gospel was changed to appeal to wider audiences, it would destroy its effectiveness and power. The gospel message is meant to glorify God rather than attract large crowds through human wisdom or abilities. It is a revelation from God, not something that can be experimented with. The conclusion questions whether we should conform the gospel to carnal minds or transform minds to conform to the gospel as revealed.
_MINISTRY_Come Let Us Adore Him #2 The Wise Men
The document discusses the biblical account of the wise men's pilgrimage to visit the infant Jesus. It describes how the wise men followed the star to Bethlehem and brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh for Jesus. It then lists lessons that can be learned from the story, including that one should seek Jesus, understand scripture, know that God can turn enemies' plans for evil into good, and worship and offer gifts to Jesus upon encountering him, before departing on a new path.
2016 03 22 To universal brotherhood
This document provides a personal interpretation of the Lord's Prayer focused on universal brotherhood. It argues that the prayer's message of avoiding temptation through discrimination, isolation, or vengeance and being delivered from evil that divides can be understood by all people, whether religious or not. The interpretation encourages looking at others with kindness, engaging generously, and advocating for unity through respect and inclusion of differences.
Incredible Sex
This document provides an overview of biblical perspectives on human sexuality and principles for sexual stewardship. It summarizes passages from Genesis describing the creation of humanity, the beginnings of sexuality, and the introduction of shame. It then outlines views from Thessalonians and Corinthians on abstaining from harmful sexual practices and honoring sexuality within marriage. The document advocates exercising self-control, not wronging others, and allowing God's word to govern one's sexuality. It presents Jesus as condemning lust for cheapening sex but upholding sexuality as holy.
When Christian Leaders Go Wrong
The document discusses biblical passages about failures of leadership and the consequences. It describes how Samuel's sons did not follow his ways as judges and the people asked for a king. Saul was chosen but later died for his unfaithfulness. Rehoboam did not listen to the people's requests and increased their burdens. The document asks questions about whether failures are worse for Christian leaders and discusses examples of poor leadership throughout history in the Catholic church. It closes with a prayer.

Vision by feraya
This poem depicts the suffering of the Burmese people through darkness, despair, cruelty, fleeing, hiding and foraging for food to survive while their freedom remains out of reach as they are beaten down by life, death, diseases of mind and spirit and swallowed by gloominess and bitterness. However, the poet expresses that each person has a role to play in helping their countrymen through a vision that is vast and spacious rather than small or limited, so that Burma's people may rise up like a beautiful lotus from a muddy pond.
The birth of our lord
This document provides an overview of the birth of Jesus Christ according to the Gospels of Luke and Matthew.

The Meaning Of Our Flag
The Australian flag symbolizes the Christian heritage of Australia through its design elements. It incorporates aspects of the flags of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland which represent the nations that colonized Australia. The colors red, white and blue each have spiritual significance from the Bible. When the symbols of the first and last letters of the ancient Hebrew alphabet are overlaid, they form the Union Jack which is incorporated into the Australian flag. The flag's design reflects God's plan and covenant with Australia.

The trees says final
- The trees say they should not be cut down as they provide vital benefits to the environment such as producing oxygen, regulating climate, and maintaining ecological balance.
- Deforestation is occurring at an alarming rate as forests are cleared to make way for other uses, but trees play a crucial role in the water and carbon cycles and hold soil in place.
- If trees continue to be destroyed, it could have catastrophic effects for the planet by reducing oxygen levels, exacerbating climate change, and disrupting ecosystems.
O masquerade society
1) The document criticizes a "Masquerade society" that chooses to veil their eyes, ears, and mouth from seeing, hearing, and speaking evil in the world.
2) It calls on this society to wake up to reality, throw away their masks of disguise, and embrace their true selves by speaking against injustice, helping the powerless, and showing gratitude.
3) By learning to truly see, hear, and speak, and throwing away masks of fake vanity, one can become their fearless, egoless self and work to fight all ills within and outside themselves to become an enlightened, supreme human being.
All souls shine
In this Poem- All shine, I want to remind all mankind, that we are divine souls, originated from stars, we are celestial beings, and core is divine, filled with godly grace, therefore let it shine!

Magnificent land
In this poem - Magnificent Land, I admire, the natural beauty of Finland; its Pristine freshness, and fauna and I glorify the almighty God, for this bountiful Creation!
Cherry blossoms
The poem describes the beauty of cherry blossoms in spring. Delicate pink petals bloom wildly on branchless branches, filling the air with sweet fragrance. The blossoms sway gently in the wind, cascading pink and white petals over the narrator who lays beneath the tree, mesmerized by God's divine creation and the infinite beauty of nature unfolding with the arrival of spring.
A walk in the woods!
Here in this poem, A walk in the woods, I am mesmerised and spellbound by God's abundance, that we see in our daily lives, forget to be thankful, and show our gratitude to him, for all that he has bestowed us with!

Human evolution (edited version)
A poem is for us, to understand that, we humans rulers of this Earth; evolved here for a purpose, and should ponder our purpose, on this planet, is it development via destruction?!
A kind heart heals
This poem describes encountering a destitute child sitting alone on a cold street at night. The child is pale, weak, and wrapped in rags barely covering his body. Though many people pass by in a hurry, paying the child no mind, the narrator approaches and offers the child an old coat, food, and money. The narrator learns the child has no home and is distressed. The poem advocates showing kindness and mercy to those in need as a way to heal souls and find meaning in life.
Forest fire
- A small spark in the forest grew into a raging forest fire, unleashing its powerful and uncontrollable forces. Fueled by hot winds, the fire swiftly and fiercely spread across several areas of ground, burning and destroying all vegetation in its path. It built huge towers of flames and smoke as it rampaged through the forest. After burning everything to the ground, only ashes remained, but new life would eventually sprout from the ashes to renew the forest.
We fall
This poem discusses the many ways in which humanity can fall from grace. It states that we fall when unity is compromised through division and conflict. We fall when we do wrong while thinking it is right. We fall when we breed contempt for others and shame them for our own delight. The poem encourages appreciating what we have in life and remaining grateful, rather than yearning for what we lack. It suggests that falling makes us less human each time as our conscience erodes.
Freedom
This poem celebrates freedom and pays tribute to soldiers who fought and sacrificed their lives to defend their nation's freedom. It describes the hardships soldiers endure in trenches, facing bombardment, bloodshed, freezing conditions, and slim chances of survival. Yet they march on bravely to safeguard their country's freedom and pride. The freedom enjoyed today is not a trivial thing, as millions lost their lives in endless wars, so we must be grateful to the brave, fearless soldiers who fought and gave their lives for this freedom.
Majestic Ballerinas of the Seas
In this poem, I accentuate the applaudable beauty of the swans, highlighting their behaviours and mood in different scenarios
Apparelled in cosmic lights
The poem describes the beauty of nature on Earth, which is made possible by light from the sun. It notes the billions of stars in the galaxy and cosmos, with our sun shining brightly and illuminating our Milky Way. The sun bestows Earth with ample light to create and sustain myriad life forms. The planet is rich from within its core, with every tiny speck full of life. Nature surrounds the land with vivid colors, rich diversity, and intricate balances that restore tranquility. Life is a synthesis of this magical and enigmatic natural world, which we must appreciate.
Warm summer days
The poem celebrates the sights, smells, and feelings of a warm summer day. It describes the bright, sunny sky; sparkling bodies of water like oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers; lush green lands; and fragrant flowers in bloom. Various animals like birds, bees, geese, and swans are mentioned. People enjoy warm summer nights filled with parties, food, drinks, music, and time spent with loved ones, fostering happiness. The warm summer weather and bounties of nature bring vitality and joy.
O what music in the air !
In this poem, I emphasise, on the sounds, that we hear in nature, that surrounds us each day, that we should learn to enjoy!
O land, thy merciful fields !
The poem celebrates the arrival of spring and the reawakening of nature. It describes how spring awakens the land from its winter sleep, bringing magic, wonders, and enrichment. Fertility springs from Mother Earth as nature's youth is restored. New buds and shoots begin to grow, bringing fresh green leaves to the branches. Summer then announces its arrival as spring leaves and the land reaches the peak of its freshness.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them.
