An article about faith, what I've learned through my journey with God and realizations about having faith in Jesus
06 faith that works
Faith that Works discusses the relationship between faith and works according to the book of James. It summarizes James' key points that faith without works is dead, and that genuine faith is shown through righteous actions. Abraham and Rahab are used as examples of those whose faith was made complete through their obedience and good works. While salvation comes through faith alone, true saving faith will necessarily be demonstrated through works of righteousness.
Saving Faith
The document discusses the nature of saving faith according to scripture. It states that faith involves a commitment of the whole person to Jesus involving knowledge, trust, and obedience. Saving faith is an inward spiritual change involving intellectual assent to Christ's person and work as savior from sin, as well as emotional trust and volitional obedience. True conversion involves believing in Christ as both God and savior from sin through faith, not just having an orthodox understanding of Christ.
Spiritual Practices Lecture
This document discusses the importance of human transformation through spiritual practices for followers of Christ. It argues that Christianity must take human transformation seriously and provide practical methods for it, moving believers from simply holding beliefs to embodying a lifestyle of faith. Spiritual practices like prayer, Bible study, and service can help disciples become more like Christ by adding life to their years. While beliefs are important, faith is better understood as trusting and following Jesus in everyday life through such practices, rather than just believing propositions.
ACE Presentation James 2:14-26
This document summarizes a Bible study on James 2:14-26 about faith and works. It discusses that faith without works is dead, and uses examples from Abraham and Rahab to show how their faith was perfected and justified through their works. It also references how Jesus modeled works through his preaching, teaching, and acts of compassion. The overall message is that works glorify God and strengthen our relationship with him by perfecting our faith.
Are We Saved By Works?
Some may be astonished at the real Bible answer. Is there any sense in which a man is saved by works? What about baptism and works?
Work Out Your Faith
The document summarizes a sermon on different types of faith based on James 2:14-26. It discusses three types of faith: 1) a dead faith, which is faith without deeds; 2) a deceptive faith, where even demons have faith in God's existence; and 3) an authentic, dynamic faith, exemplified by Abraham and Rahab, where faith is demonstrated through actions. The sermon uses their examples to argue that faith without deeds is useless, and that a person is made righteous through faith demonstrated by what they do, not by faith alone.

James 2 faith without works
This document discusses the relationship between faith and works. It argues that faith without works is dead. It uses the examples of Abraham offering Isaac and Rahab hiding the spies to show that their faith was demonstrated through their actions. True faith will necessarily be accompanied by works as evidence of that faith. A person who claims to have faith but does nothing to help those in need is not showing genuine faith. One's faith should compel them to visible intercession and action on behalf of others.
What To Do When Faith Doesnt Work
This document summarizes the key points made in James 2:14-26 about faith and works. It states that verbal faith alone cannot save, as faith without works is dead. It uses the examples of Abraham and Rahab to show how they were considered righteous not just due to their faith, but because of their actions that demonstrated that faith. While salvation is by faith alone, true faith does not remain alone but is shown through deeds.
DOA
This document is a Bible study on James 2:14-26 about faith and works. It provides commentary on key verses and examples. The main points are:
1) James asks what good is faith without works, using Abraham and Rahab as examples of faith completed through works.
2) Faith alone is not enough; it must be proved through works, or it is dead. Works justify faith.
3) The study concludes that God saves us by faith, but our works prove our living faith in God. We should do good works to show our faith is alive.
James 2: 14-26: Faith and Deeds
The document summarizes key passages from the book of James that address the relationship between faith and deeds. It notes that James emphasizes that faith without works is dead, using the examples of Abraham and Rahab to show that their faith was demonstrated and completed through their actions. In contrast, Paul states that one is justified by faith alone, apart from works of the law. The document discusses different perspectives on what is required for salvation between faith alone and the need for both faith and deeds.
11-04-18, James 2;14-26, With Works
This document provides a summary and commentary on James 2:14-26 from the Bible Exposition Commentary series. It examines the relationship between faith and works, outlining three types of faith mentioned: dead faith involving just the intellect; demonic faith involving the intellect and emotions; and dynamic faith involving the whole person through the mind, emotions, and will, leading to obedience and good works. It uses the examples of Abraham and Rahab to illustrate dynamic faith justified by works, not just words. The overall message is that true saving faith is demonstrated through righteous obedience and actions, not just empty words or feelings.
Relationship between Faith and Works (2of2)
The document discusses the relationship between faith and works based on passages from the books of James and Romans. It argues that works are the animating principle of vital faith and that faith without works is dead. Good works justify our faith before God and men and show our friendship with God. While salvation comes by grace through faith alone, an absence of good works implies an absence of saving faith. The challenge is to maintain a dynamic faith through obedience to God's word.
Apostle James on Faith with Works
James addresses those who claim faith but lack faith-driven works. He notes faith without works is dead. Abraham demonstrated living faith through obeying God by offering Isaac. Rahab also showed faith through works by protecting the Israelite spies. True faith produces loving deeds over time. While judging others' faith requires caution, genuine faith cannot exist without evidence through works of love.

It uses the examples of Abraham and Rahab to illustrate dynamic faith, noting that both showed their justifying faith through their works of obedience to God. The commentary emphasizes that true saving faith necessarily results in good works.
Four Types of Faith
The document discusses different types of faith according to the book of James: 1) Genuine saving faith produces good works but works do not save, 2) Living faith bears fruitful works that advance God's kingdom, 3) Demonic faith is an intellectual belief like demons have, 4) Useless faith does not produce works, 5) True faith like Abraham's is justified by works, and 6) Dead faith is without works. The overall message is that genuine Christian faith is demonstrated through righteous actions, not just words.
100207 How To Live Your Faith 10 Faith Works James 2 14 26
Sermon 10 in a series on James (this one is on James 2:14-26) presented February 7, 2010, at Palm Desert Church of Christ by Dale Wells
16th September 2016 - Is Salvation by faith alone or Faith plus works?
Paul and James appear to disagree on whether salvation is by faith alone or faith plus works. However, when examining the full context and comparing passages, it becomes clear they are not contradicting each other. Paul emphasizes that justification is by faith alone, while James emphasizes that true faith will be evidenced by good works. James is refuting the idea that one can claim faith without deeds, arguing dead faith is like a body without a spirit. Both teach that while salvation is through faith, genuine faith in Christ will be demonstrated through good works in one's life.
Faith courage group
This passage from James argues that faith without works is dead. It says that just believing in God is not enough and that faith needs to be demonstrated through actions. It provides examples of Abraham and Rahab to show that they were considered righteous by God because of their deeds, not just their faith alone. The passage concludes by stating that just as a body without a spirit is dead, so too is faith without good deeds dead.
Resuscitating Our Faith

It argues that faith without works is dead, using examples from Abraham and Rahab to show that they were justified by their works, not just their faith alone.

The overall message is that true living faith is evidenced through obedient actions, not just words or beliefs.

The Glorious Church

Are There Miraculous Gifts of the Holy Spirit Today?
The document discusses whether miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as tongues, prophecy, and healing, continue today. It considers four things: 1) Gifts were given through baptism in the Holy Spirit or the laying on of apostles' hands. 2) Gifts served to confirm the message and establish the early church before the Bible was complete. 3) 1 Corinthians 13 indicates gifts were temporary and would cease once revelation was complete. 4) What is observed today is different than the explicit miraculous gifts seen in the early church, suggesting they served their purpose and are no longer active gifts today. The document concludes the gifts ended once the gospel revelation was fully given through Scripture.
God's Work in Peru
The document reports on the growth of the church in Cusco, Peru over the past year. It notes that average weekly attendance has increased 62% to 75 people. There have also been 28 baptisms. The church has seen growth through its School of the Bible, big events, and campaigns. New Christians are involved in stewardship and various ministries. Contact information is provided for how to help support the mission work in Cusco.
Pass It On: Kindness
Kindness is a defining characteristic emphasized repeatedly in Titus. While people may profess to know God, their lack of good deeds denies Him. Believers are called to be examples of good deeds. God redeems people from lawless deeds and purifies them so they are zealous for good works. Believers must learn to do good deeds to meet needs of others. They are to be obedient and ready for every good deed, peaceful and gentle. Kindness begins with God and His kindness and love for mankind. Jesus showed kindness by washing feet, and calls others to do the same. Believers should be kindhearted and not return evil for evil. Their kindness encourages others and causes the world to glorify

The document discusses maintaining hope even in times of tragedy or difficulty. It references passages from Lamentations and Romans that emphasize God's faithfulness and lovingkindness. While there are reasons like sin and man's failures that make optimism challenging, God's track record and the gospel provide grounds for persevering in hope. The conclusion encourages not becoming complacent in good times or shattered in bad, but to keep moving forward in hope as God is unchanging in both.

The Mission can be at first within yourself, your home, or with your family or neighbors, or at work, or in your city, or in your nation or other nations.
Passing on the Family Heart
1) The document describes how King David of Israel sought to pass on his heart for God to his son Solomon and the people of Israel. He encouraged Solomon to devote his heart wholly to God and oversaw preparations to build the temple.
2) David asked others to help Solomon complete the temple and obey God, and he prayed that God would give Solomon a perfect heart to follow God's commandments.
3) The greatest legacy parents can pass on to their children is a heart that truly loves God, which involves starting with one's own heart, helping others develop their heart for God, being part of a support system, and praying for one another.
David and the Fool
This document summarizes several passages from 1 Samuel 25 that describe an interaction between David, Nabal, and Nabal's wife Abigail. It describes how Nabal refused David's request for food and protection. Abigail took food to David without Nabal's knowledge to appease him and prevent bloodshed. When Abigail told Nabal what happened the next day, he died of fright. The document encourages readers to follow Abigail's example of overcoming evil with good and avoiding vengeance.

THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.
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.
sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
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.

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).

The Danger of Dead Faith
- 1. If the stats are correct, there are A LOT of people claiming Christianity whose lives are no different from anyone else.
- 2. Our Theme for 2012: Real Faith A Study of James, 1-2 Peter
- 3. James 2:14-20 [14] What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?
- 4. For faith to be alive, it must be more than: 1) Saying the right words.
- 5. James 2:14-20 [15] If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, [16] and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? [17] Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
- 6. For faith to be alive, it must be more than: 1) Saying the right words. 2) Belief in the right facts.
- 7. James 2:14-20 [18] But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” [19] You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.
- 8. James 2:20-26 [20] But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?
- 9. James 2:20-26 [21] Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? [22] You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;
- 10. James 2:20-26 [23] and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.
- 11. James 2:20-26 [24] You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. [25] In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?
- 12. When we act, we… 1) …complete our faith.
- 13. James 2:20-26 [22] You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;
- 14. When we act, we… 1) …complete our faith. 2) …are justified.
- 15. James 2:20-26 [24] You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. [25] In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?
- 16. When we act, we… 1) …complete our faith. 2) …are justified. 3) …show ourselves friends of God.
- 17. James 2:20-26 [23] and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.
- 18. John 15:14 [14] “You are My friends if you do what I command you.
- 19. James 2:20-26 [26] For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
- 20. Reflecting on a Favorite Theme of James
- 21. James 1:22 [22] But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
- 22. If I were tried as a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict me?
