The document discusses discipline and God's discipline of Israel according to the book of Hosea. It summarizes that God was preparing to discipline Israel for their lack of faithfulness and knowledge of God, as they had broken God's covenant and rejected his law. It describes how God uses word pictures like sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind to portray the consequences of Israel's disobedience. While God disciplines out of love to correct and train, the people rejected the prophets and faced punishment as a result of their increasing iniquity. The document encourages examining one's own relationship with God and realizing when it is time to repent and seek Him rather than living as if His rules don't apply.

God's invisible warriors
This document discusses spiritual warfare and angels. It covers three reasons why many Christians are unprepared for spiritual warfare: 1) not knowing the Bible well, 2) rarely thinking about the spiritual realm, and 3) being influenced by liberal media. It then discusses angels, noting that they are invisible warriors created by God. While angels carry out God's work, we should only worship God, not angels. Finally, it outlines four duties of angels: 1) protecting believers, 2) delivering God's judgments, 3) ministering to believers, and possibly escorting believers' spirits to heaven.

He then asked Peter three times if he loved him, instructing Peter each time to feed and take care of his sheep.

The document suggests all sinful human behaviors, including homosexuality, stem from humanity's rejection of God.
Forgive and Forget
This document discusses forgiveness in 3 paragraphs. It begins by listing 3 common misconceptions about forgiveness: that it must be offered immediately, is a one-time thing, or is easy. The second paragraph discusses the biblical story of Jacob and Esau reconciling. The final paragraph provides quotes defining forgiveness as releasing someone from expectations and accepting them as they are, as well as listing things forgiveness is and is not. It encourages forgiveness for one's own healing rather than for the offender.
Everyday Grace
The document contains excerpts from Psalm 34 praising God for being good and enduring forever. It encourages taking refuge in God, as those who do will lack no good thing and will be blessed. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek God will lack no good thing according to the verses cited.
Hope on Trial
Paul defends himself before King Agrippa, recounting his experience on the road to Damascus where Jesus appeared to him and called him to spread the message of salvation to both Jews and Gentiles. Paul was once a persecutor of Christians but was converted after his vision of Jesus, and has since preached repentance and faith in Christ. King Agrippa acknowledges that Paul's testimony seems reasonable, though he questions whether such a short time is enough to persuade him to become a Christian.
Salvation on Trial
The passage discusses salvation and righteousness. It states that the Israelites were zealous for God but lacked knowledge, and instead of submitting to God's righteousness they tried to establish their own. It then says that righteousness comes through faith in Christ, not works of the law, and that whoever believes in their heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord will be saved.
VBS Finale
The document discusses feelings of insecurity, inadequacy, and not belonging that a child may experience. It addresses thoughts like "I'm different," "I'm not good enough," and "Nobody likes me." The passage reassures the child that they are special because God made them and loves them. It emphasizes that God's love for the child is perfect and unconditional, regardless of whether the child feels perfect. The child does not need to worry or listen to negative voices, but instead should remember God's love and that nothing can separate them from this love.
Singular God
The document discusses changes in marriage trends over time. It notes that the percentage of married adults aged 18+ dropped from 72% in 1960 to 51% in 2010. For young adults aged 18-29, the percentage married declined from 59% in 1960 to 20% in 2010. The median age of first marriage rose from early 20s in 1960 to late 20s in 2011. While 4 in 10 feel marriage is obsolete, nearly as many (47%) would like to get married but feel unable due to various challenges. The document seeks to provide perspective on marriage from biblical passages.
The Valley of the Shadow of Death
The psalmist expresses confidence that even when walking through the darkest valleys, God is with them as their shepherd to protect and comfort them. As their shepherd, God leads them to rest in green pastures and beside still waters, refreshes their soul, guides them on the right paths, and provides an overflowing cup and a place at God's table, even in the presence of enemies. The psalmist knows God's goodness and love will follow them all the days of their life as they dwell in God's house forever.
This Changed Everything
This document discusses how encountering the risen Christ radically changed everything for those who saw him after his resurrection. It describes how Mary Magdalene, the disciples, and Paul all had life-changing experiences upon seeing the resurrected Jesus. The document argues that if the resurrection proved Jesus died for every sin, Christians should no longer be held captive by sins like racism, sexism, selfishness, and fear-based thinking. It quotes 2 Corinthians 5:17 to say that anyone in Christ has become a new creation, with the old gone and the new come.
To Be Seen
The passage describes an interaction between Jesus and a sinful woman at a Pharisee's house. The woman, who had lived a sinful life, comes to Jesus and washes his feet with her tears, dries them with her hair, and pours perfume on them. The Pharisee criticizes Jesus for allowing a sinner to touch him. Jesus tells the Pharisee that the woman's great love comes from her understanding that her many sins have been forgiven. He says that those who feel they have little to be forgiven love little. The woman found acceptance from Jesus and experienced her worth, giving her courage to worship him freely despite others' judgments.

Elijah tells her not to be afraid and to first make him some bread, and that the flour and oil containers would always be refilled by God until the rains come again. The widow does as Elijah says and finds that they continue to have enough food for many days, as Elijah promised.
A Puzzlement
Jesus teaches with confidence in the synagogue in Capernaum, surprising the congregation with his forthright style unlike the usual religion scholars who quibble and quote. When a man with an unclean spirit interrupts and yells at Jesus, Jesus rebukes the spirit and it leaves the man. The people are amazed at Jesus' new teaching and authority over evil spirits. After leaving the synagogue, Jesus heals Simon's mother-in-law of a fever and that evening heals many sick and afflicted people who come to him, commanding the demons not to speak because they knew his true identity.
Ready or Not?
The passage discusses humbling oneself before God, resisting the devil, coming close to God, purifying one's heart, acknowledging divided loyalty between God and the world, experiencing sorrow and grief over one's actions, and finding that humility precedes honor. It encourages repenting of sins through tears and sadness in order to be forgiven and purified by God.
Confusion
Jesus travels with his followers to the Sea of Galilee where a huge crowd gathers, seeking healing. The crowd presses so closely around Jesus that he asks his disciples to get a boat. Jesus calls twelve disciples to be with him and sends them out to preach and heal. When rumors spread that Jesus' power comes from Satan, Jesus says blasphemy against the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven. He says those who do God's will are his true family.
Lost in Translation
The document discusses how Jesus warned his disciples about being corrupted by the "yeast of the Pharisees and Herod" even though they did not understand. It explains that the Pharisees' teachings focused more on rigid rules and outward observances rather than listening to God's voice internally. Despite seeing Jesus' miracles, the disciples still did not truly understand God. The document advocates focusing on relationship with God over rule-following.
Ken Fong - Very Difficult Passage - 110130
The document discusses perspectives on homosexuality from biblical times to today. It summarizes Romans 1:24-27 which describes how humans violate God's created order and exchange natural relations for unnatural ones due to idolatry and sin. The document argues that same-sex attraction signifies humanity is out of joint with God's design and all people equally fall short of God's glory.

0514 genesis 121 your father household to the land power point church sermon
God tells Abram to leave his country, his people, and his father's household and go to the land that God will show him.

MY STORY 4 – PTR. VETTY GUTIERREZ – 10AM MORNING SERVICE
The document describes Abram's obedience to God's call to leave his home and travel to the land of Canaan. God promises to make Abram into a great nation and bless all people on earth through him. Abram departs from Haran at age 75 with his wife Sarai, nephew Lot, and their possessions. They travel to the land of Canaan and Abram builds altars to God. Abram trusts and obeys God despite uncertainties about where he is going.
false start
1. Terah and his family, including Abram, lived in Ur of the Chaldeans where they worshipped other gods before God called Abram.
2. God first called Abram to leave his country while he was still in Mesopotamia, but Abram did not obey until after his father Terah died.
3. After Terah's death, God again called Abram to leave his family and homeland and promised to make him a great nation, bless him, and bless all people through him if he obeyed.
14 Abram
The document discusses God's calling of Abram and the promises He made to him. It notes that God called Abram to leave his country and family and go to a new land, promising to make him a great nation and bless all people through him. Abram obeyed God and traveled to Canaan with his wife Sarai, nephew Lot, and possessions. God appeared to Abram, reiterated His promise of the land, and Abram built altars in response. The document examines Abram's faith and trust in God's promises despite uncertainties about having descendants, given his and Sarai's age.
MY STORY 4 – PTR. RICHARD NILLO – 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE
The document describes God calling Abraham to leave his home and relatives in Ur of Chaldees and go to the land God would show him. Abraham obeyed God and left, even though he did not know where he was going. Later, God called Moses to go to Pharaoh and demand that the Israelites be freed from Egypt. Moses was hesitant because he felt inadequate for the task, but God assured him and told him to go anyway. The overall message is that obeying God and taking a step of faith, even without full knowledge or confidence, allows one to fulfill God's purposes and receive blessings.

Fr. Cielo
Heroes of the Bible Part 02 Abraham - english
The document discusses what is required to obey God based on passages from the Bible. It states that to obey God, one must:
1) Discover God's will, which may be revealed directly or through external confirmation, and is customized for each individual.
2) Join God's work by leaving one's comfort zone and fully trusting in God, even if it means leaving family as Abram did.
3) Experience God's best by receiving blessings and becoming a blessing to others as God promises for those who obey, such as Abram becoming a great nation and being made famous.

Genesis 12 & 15: Grace to All (Second Baptist South Campus) Spring 2020
This Bible study class examines Genesis 12 and 15, focusing on God's promises to Abram and Abram's response of faith. The lesson objective is that God gives us grace in our suffering and doubts and declares us righteous through faith in Christ alone. The study looks at how God promised to make Abram a great nation but Abram doubted due to being childless in old age. God declared that Abram's offspring would be as numerous as the stars, and Abram believed this, counting it to him as righteousness. The discussion emphasizes that we are saved by grace through faith, not works.

Abram & Lot
An expositional study of Genesis 12:14-13:18, from the time Abram leaves Egypt until he returns to Hebron.
Deut; Chapter 5 - 11
Moses recounts to the Israelites the laws and commandments that God had given them. He reminds them of their history, including their rebellion in worshipping the golden calf after God delivered the Ten Commandments to them at Mount Sinai. However, God in his mercy had Moses carve two replacement stone tablets. Moses exhorts the Israelites to fear and obey God by keeping his commandments for their own good, as God had brought them out of Egypt and given them the promised land.
separate ways
Abram and Lot had to separate their herds and flocks because there was not enough land to support them together. Abram offered for Lot to choose which direction he wanted to go, and Lot chose to head east toward the well-watered Jordan Valley. This separated them, with Abram settling in the land of Canaan and building an altar to the LORD, while Lot settled near Sodom. God then reaffirmed his promise to Abram, saying that all the land he could see would belong to his offspring forever.
2012.10.14 Experiencing God - Part 2
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.
Choices Produce FRUIT Sides, 1/30/11
The document summarizes passages from Genesis and Deuteronomy describing God's commands and promises to Abram and the Israelites. It discusses how God promised to make Abram into a great nation and bless all people through him, but also warned the Israelites not to forget God or disobey his commands, lest they perish like other nations before them. The document questions what relevance places like Ai and Bethel have for the reader today.
Genesis 3.15, 21; 12.1-9 CBT Week One Faith-walkers 2019
This document provides a summary of Genesis 3:15, 21 and 12:1-9 from the Bible. It discusses how God required faith from Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden by laying out a prohibition. After the fall, God responded by beginning the redemption process through the protoevangelium in Genesis 3:15. The document then summarizes how God called Abram to leave his home and promised to make him a great nation, requiring Abram's faith in following God's command. It poses discussion questions about having faith in God's promises and not one's own understanding. The lesson teaches that God gives promises and looks for faith, while redemption comes through Jesus Christ.

From Control to Surrender
1. The passage describes Jesus and his disciples being caught in a fierce storm on the Sea of Galilee. The disciples woke Jesus, afraid they would drown, and asked "don't you care if we drown?".
2. Jesus then rebuked the wind and waves, commanding them to be still. The storm immediately stopped.
3. Jesus chided the disciples for their lack of faith, asking why they were afraid when he had power over even nature.
From Whirlwind to Wisdom
This document contains quotes and passages about slowing down, resting, and living unhurried lives. It discusses how hurry can destroy our souls and keep us from living well. It emphasizes embracing sleep and rest as opportunities for God to work in us and care for us. The document encourages concentrating on God's presence rather than being so busy we cannot hear God's still, small voice. It invites living freely and lightly at the pace of grace.
Exclusivity to Engagement
The Resistance was formed to battle an oppressive empire. Small cells of rebels grew into a movement despite being poorly trained and lacking resources. Against the odds, the Resistance was ultimately victorious.
Moving God from Periphery to Center
The document discusses factors that can cause sleep issues like allergies, sickness, injury, hormones, irritants, lack of sleep, screen time, worry, stress, sorrow, loss, hardship, heartbreak and betrayal. It then recommends sleep hours needed for different age groups from newborns to adults. Finally, it discusses the benefits of sleep like consolidating memories, processing emotions, balancing hormones, refreshing brain cells, clearing waste and rejuvenating muscles. It also includes biblical references about God resting on the seventh day and choosing Zion as his resting place.
God's Work Is Our Rest
This document contains excerpts from Genesis describing God's punishment of Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden fruit, including painful labor for women and toiling to produce food from the ground for men. It also contains Bible verses about Jesus' humanity and suffering to redeem humanity, his resurrection as the firstfruits ensuring believers' resurrection and hope, and his offer of rest for the weary.
Our Work as Worship
The document summarizes passages from Genesis, Luke, Romans, and Matthew. It discusses:
1) God clothing Adam and Eve after banishing them from the Garden of Eden for eating from the tree of knowledge.
2) Jesus' death on the cross, with the temple curtain tearing in two and Jesus committing his spirit to God.
3) Romans urging believers to offer their bodies as living sacrifices, which is their true worship.
4) Matthew recounting Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, with crowds laying cloaks and branches on the road and shouting praises to him.
Our Work Redeemed
This document discusses several religious topics including Fu and the Great Flood, Noah and the Great Flood, redemption through faith in God, and becoming a co-worker with God. It also briefly mentions things the author hates like getting out of bed, people, and work.
Our Work as Futile
U.S. workers, especially millennials, want meaning and purpose in their work. They seek jobs where they can use their talents daily and have work-life balance. The Bible discusses work as a necessary result of humanity's fall from grace and describes toil as meaningless without finding satisfaction and pleasure in work itself and doing it for God. The document questions what people chase and work for if all their labor will ultimately be for nothing.
Our Work as Toil
1. Adam and Eve hide from God after eating the forbidden fruit from the tree.
2. God questions Adam and Eve about eating the fruit. Adam blames Eve, and Eve blames the serpent.
3. God punishes all three - the serpent will crawl on its belly, Eve will have pain in childbirth, and Adam will have to toil to produce food from the ground. Their relationship with God and each other is broken.
Our Work as Stewardship
1) The document discusses humanity's creation in God's image and their role of ruling over creation, cultivating the earth.
2) It presents views from early Christian thinkers like Eusebius of Caesarea who saw two types of lives - a perfect spiritual life and a permitted physical life, which wrongly narrowed the scope of calling.
3) The key idea is that work is humanity's divine calling since creation to partner with God and further His purposes through cultivating and creating.
God's Work, Our Work
The document describes the creation story from Genesis 1-2 in the Bible. It recounts each of the six days of creation, with God creating light, the sky, land, plants, stars, sea creatures, animals, and finally humans on the sixth day. On the seventh day God rested. It then discusses the concept of work and Sabbath, portraying God as a laborer through metaphors like gardener, shepherd, and potter. Finally, it suggests Christians abide in Christ's presence even during stressful work through humility, patience, and finding identity and worth in God rather than work performance or status.
Life with God
This document discusses various ways that Christians relate to and experience God, including through obedience to God's laws, surrendering control to God, finding purpose in God, and experiencing God's love. It also discusses Jesus praying that Christians would be united with God and each other to spread God's message. The document lists spiritual disciplines like meditation, prayer, fasting and study that Christians can practice to open themselves to worshipping God. Quotes emphasize that a relationship with God is about pursuing God rather than actions, and that the deepest level of connection is wordless communion.
Life from God
This document contains multiple Bible passages and quotes on different topics. It discusses God leading the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years and teaching them to not live on bread alone but every word from God. It also contains a quote about when taken too far, the pursuit of comfort and avoidance of pain can make us spiritual lepers. The document reflects on different ways people relate to God and contains prayers to Jesus for help.
Life Over/Under God
This document contains several Bible verses and passages about God and eternal life. It discusses how God loved the world and gave his son so that all who believe in him will not perish but have eternal life. Another passage emphasizes that eternal life is knowing God as the one true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. The document encourages focusing life on God.
Branches that Bear
The document discusses remaining and abiding in Jesus in order to bear fruit. It explains that branches must remain connected to the vine in order to bear fruit and warns that branches that do not remain will wither and be burned. It encourages readers to remain in Jesus through abiding in his word and teachings.
Examen
This document provides guidance for conducting a daily spiritual reflection called an "examen". It involves reflecting on the experiences of the day to see God's presence and action. This enables gaining wisdom for the future. It recommends opening your eyes and asking God for clarity, practicing gratitude in both joyful and disappointing moments, and reviewing the past year to identify a season of joy and disappointment. Tiles can represent these to express gratitude and ask for help. Finally, it quotes Psalm 77 about remembering God's deeds and miracles, and meditating on his mighty works.
Lights of the City
An angel appeared to shepherds watching over their flocks at night and told them the good news that a Savior, the Messiah, had been born in Bethlehem. The angel was joined by a great company of angels praising God. The shepherds went to Bethlehem and found Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus lying in a manger, just as the angel had said. They spread the word of what they had seen and experienced to all who would listen.
The Light of Beauty
Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked King Herod where the Messiah had been born, as they had seen his star rise and wanted to worship him. Herod consulted Jewish priests and teachers who said the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Herod secretly met with the Magi and instructed them to find the child and report back so he could also worship him. The Magi followed the star to Bethlehem and found Jesus with Mary. They worshiped him and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, then returned home another way after being warned not to report to Herod.
The Light of Justice
This document discusses the concept of justice through several biblical passages and stories. It references the ideas of fair treatment, equality, and protecting the vulnerable. Key events mentioned include the birth of Jesus, the flight into Egypt to escape King Herod, and the subsequent massacre of innocent children in Bethlehem. The document concludes with a benediction calling for blessings of discomfort over injustice, anger to confront oppression, tears for those suffering, and hope that we can make a positive difference in the world.
A Glimmer of Hope
The document contains passages from the Bible describing Jesus Christ. John 1:1-5 describes Jesus as the Word of God who was present at the creation of all things and is the light and life of all people. Isaiah 9:2-7 prophesies that a child will be born who will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace and whose government and reign will have no end. Isaiah 7:14 contains the prophecy that a virgin will conceive and bear a son whose name will be called Immanuel.

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.
OM Meditation - ultimate meditation technique
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.

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.

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