This document discusses the dangers of compromising biblical standards and conforming to worldly practices in order to gain popularity or converts.

Handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched Paul's body were able to heal people and cast out demons. It then discusses how some Jewish exorcists unsuccessfully tried to copy Paul, and how this led many in Ephesus to believe and publicly confess and destroy books of magic. The word of the Lord was growing mightily as a result.

How to manage distractions and achieve your goal
Distractions destroy our ability to focus on important tasks. The document discusses what distractions are and provides examples like social media, texting, and multitasking. It recommends doing one thing at a time and setting times for technology versus no technology. The story of Lot and his wife teaches that we should not linger in distractions, but instead escape to focus on spiritual things ahead of us.
Christian Self-Esteem
This document discusses how to develop a sense of self-esteem through God rather than oneself. It outlines six senses - of aim, belonging, competence, worth, security, and freedom - that come from having faith in God and Jesus Christ. Verses from the Bible are provided as examples for each sense. The document concludes that believers should sanctify the present for a better future by keeping their focus on God and following Jesus.
Sermon on the mount part 2
This document provides a summary of part 2 of a sermon on the Mount. It discusses Jesus fulfilling the law and how he completed it. Jesus said anger and lustful desires are as bad as murder and adultery. The document outlines how Jesus expanded on older teachings about swearing, retaliation, and loving enemies. It emphasizes building one's life on following Jesus' teachings rather than just hearing them. The overall message is about pursuing perfection like God and having self-control.
Intercession Prayer
The document contains several Bible passages about prayer and redemption through Jesus Christ. It discusses Jesus praying for his disciples and entering the Most Holy Place through his own blood. It encourages running the race of faith while looking to Jesus as the author and finisher. It also references the prayers of saints being offered with incense at the altar and Moses praying for the people when they were being attacked by serpents.
Tabernacle of Meeting
God commanded Moses to build a tabernacle, or tent of meeting, where God could dwell among the Israelites as they traveled through the wilderness. The tabernacle consisted of an outer area called the Holy Place where priests served, and an inner sanctum called the Most Holy Place that only the high priest entered once a year. The tabernacle was constructed based on God's detailed instructions and guided the Israelites to the Promised Land, demonstrating God's love for His people in living among them.
Fasting esther
1) Mordecai refused to bow down to Haman, angering him and causing Haman to plot to kill all Jews in the kingdom.
2) Esther and the Jews fasted and prayed for three days to ask God for help.
3) The king couldn't sleep and learned of Mordecai's past good deed, leading to Haman being hanged and the Jews being saved.
4) Jews celebrate the Feast of Purim each year to remember being saved through fasting and prayer.
Pope kyrillos vi
Pope Kyrillos VI was known for his ceaseless prayer, praying the liturgy daily. He lived alone in a deserted windmill which he turned into a church. He had a special friendship with St. Mina, who he would ask for help solving problems, which were always resolved. Many miracles occurred through his prayers, such as healing children. He renewed the monastery of St. Mina and spent much time there in prayer. His life of constant prayer and reliance on God through liturgy and the saints is an example for all Christians.
Jonah part i
God calls Jonah to preach to Nineveh but Jonah flees by boat. A storm arises and the sailors discover Jonah is responsible, throwing him into the sea to calm it. Jonah is swallowed by a large fish, prays inside for three days, and is then vomited out. God again calls Jonah to Nineveh, where his warning of destruction in three days causes the entire city to repent from the king to the animals. God sees their repentance and decides not to destroy the city, showing his desire for all people to repent and be saved.
St. anthony
St. Anthony the Great was born in Upper Egypt in the 3rd century AD to a wealthy Christian family. At age 18, after the deaths of his parents, he heard a passage from the Bible calling him to give up his possessions and follow God. He gave his wealth to the poor and became a hermit, living in a cave to devote himself fully to God. For many years, St. Anthony struggled against demonic temptations and visions, emerging victorious through his strong faith. He became a teacher and father figure to many monks, establishing several monasteries before his death at age 105.
Incarnation
God took human form and became man as Jesus. Jesus was fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin woman according to prophecy to be without sin so he could defeat evil and free those waiting in Hades after death. Only God meets all the characteristics needed for our savior. Thus, God became man in the form of Jesus to save humanity and open paradise again for the righteous, because He loves us.
A real christian faith
1) The document discusses the Christian faith and beliefs about Jesus Christ. It describes how Mary was blessed by the Holy Spirit to bear Jesus, and how Jesus was born in a manger in Bethlehem.
2) It explains that Jesus grew up to be a great person but many people opposed him. He performed miracles but did not openly claim to be God to avoid alerting the devil. Eventually the devil grew angry and had Judas betray Jesus, leading to his crucifixion.
3) After three days, Jesus resurrected from the dead and appeared before his surprised disciples, having overcome death. The document concludes by noting that Christmas is celebrated on January 7th to commemorate Jesus' birth
The real santa clause
St. Nicholas was a real saint from the city of Myra in the 4th century. He was known for his generous giving and charity, especially giving money anonymously to help three daughters of a poor man afford marriages after their father lost his wealth. St. Nicholas threw bags of gold into the man's house on three separate nights without taking credit. When the man discovered it was St. Nicholas, he thanked him for saving his daughters from poverty or sinful lives. St. Nicholas is the basis for the legend of Santa Claus who brings gifts during Christmas.
Baby jesus in the manger
Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem for the census but found no room at the inns. They stayed in a stable where Jesus was born and laid in a manger among the animals. The stable provided shelter for the holy family on the important night that Jesus Christ, God in human form, was born on earth to show people how to live as God's children.
To mary came gabriel
The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her she would conceive and give birth to a son named Jesus. Gabriel said Jesus would be called the Son of God and would reign forever. Mary was initially confused because she was a virgin but Gabriel explained the Holy Spirit would come upon her and empower her to conceive. Mary accepted God's will and said "Let it be according to your word."
St. philopater marcorious 2010

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
