The document discusses the concept of idolatry as defined by Tim Keller as taking good things and making them into ultimate things. It notes that idolatry can take many forms including the pursuit of success, money, sex, power, and other things that absorb one's heart and imagination more than God. The document tells the story of Zacchaeus from the Bible who was a wealthy tax collector that welcomed Jesus into his home and pledged to give half his possessions to the poor and repay anyone he had cheated, showing the transformation that can occur when one's idol is replaced by God.
This document discusses leadership principles from the book of Nehemiah. It provides 4 reasons for studying the book: 1) Its place in the biblical canon, 2) How it fulfilled history, 3) Its prophetic importance, and 4) The spiritual lessons it provides. Key points about Nehemiah include his view of God as sovereign and forgiving, and his determination in leading the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls to give the city identity and protect its people. The document stresses principles of availability over ability, repairing problems rather than despairing, and watching and praying.
The document discusses a vision for Bethel Bible Fellowship to become a vibrant, healthy, missional church that impacts its community and the world for Christ. It lists qualities of a healthy missional church like a central focus on God's word and community. It includes revised mission and vision statements.

Matthew 16:15-2021st Century King James Version (KJ21)
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, “Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father who is in Heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.”
20 Then He charged His disciples that they should tell no man that He was Jesus the Christ.
This document contains the text of a sermon given in September 2019 at Emmanuel Church. The sermon discusses how God chooses the weak and foolish things of the world to shame the wise and strong, according to 1 Corinthians 1:25-31. It provides the biblical story of Gideon as an example, noting how Gideon started with a large army that God reduced in size so Israel would not boast in their own strength. When Gideon's army of 10,000 faced the Midianites, Gideon was encouraged by a man's dream that foretold of Gideon's victory, demonstrating that God would give the enemy into their hands.
The document discusses the month of Ramadan and reflects on verses from the Quran. It argues that Ramadan is not a gift to mankind but rather an opportunity to behold the real gifts mentioned in the Quran, which are the message and mercy of Prophet Muhammad that were sent for all of mankind. The document also discusses using Ramadan to observe signs of the divine religion of Islam through rituals like fasting and prayers.
This week is Session 12 of our series Naturally Supernatural and Rachel looks at running your own race and Jesus being the author and perfecter of our faith
1) Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born in a manger because there was no room for him in the inn. He came to earth and lived among people but was not recognized.
2) Jesus humbled himself by washing his disciples' feet and serving them as an example of how they should serve one another.
3) Jesus endured great suffering - he was mocked, beaten, and crucified between two thieves - yet he remained silent and obedient to God's plan for salvation through his death on the cross.
What is the greatest miracle you have ever witnessed? There is not greater miracle than a change of heart and soul. Even the Believer must remain open and committed to "contining conversion". Zacchaeus reminds us of what conversion looks like - a total change in "operating system".
This document discusses how to respond when God says "no" to requests. It suggests allowing God to reveal your heart, strip away pride, teach you, and show you another door. The key points are to humble yourself, learn from hardships, and trust that God will work all things out for good in the end.
This document discusses the importance of having a shared collaborative vision for an organization that is God-focused, empowers individuals, relies on community, and is practical. It recommends frequently communicating the vision using "we" language, stories, and champions. Leaders should consider who God has brought to be part of the organization and new developments to occasionally re-evaluate the shared vision.
The document discusses how the phrase "the hand of God" is used in scripture to convey God's personal involvement in creation, preservation, care for his people, and provision of security. It explains that while God is spirit, he uses the metaphor of his hand to communicate in a way humans can understand. Some key points made are that God's hand laid the foundations of earth and spread out the heavens, he preserves and satisfies all living things with his hand, and his people are held securely in his hand.
The document discusses angels escorting believers at death based on scriptural references. It notes that Lazarus was carried by angels into heaven after death according to Luke 16:19-31. Additionally, Psalm 23:4 and Matthew 25:21 affirm that heaven is a place of joy and that angels rejoice over repentant sinners. The document quotes Billy Graham saying that death should not be seen as a tragedy for Christians but rather a journey marked with victory guided by angels to eternal life and joy in heaven.
The document discusses lessons learned about wisdom. It states that wisdom has benefits while the lack of wisdom has consequences, and that wisdom can be lost once acquired. It encourages constantly acquiring knowledge from God and the Bible, practicing stillness, unconditionally loving the church, not trying to fix people or answering every question, being encouraging, being excellent in small tasks, tithing, being a blessing rather than a source of pain, listening well, making decisions without emotion, taking calculated risks, giving thanks always, and letting go of offenses. The document promises to continue discussing lessons learned about wisdom in next week's installment.
This document discusses what is revealed and unknown about existence after death of the body. It notes that some things are secret and not fully revealed, according to scripture. It suggests working backwards from final destinations to understand what happens after death. It explains that according to scripture, both Jesus and the thief on the cross went to Hades or Sheol after death, which is described as an unseen place. However, paradise was part of Hades for the righteous. Lazarus went to a comfortable part of Hades, while the rich man went to an uncomfortable part.
The document discusses how angels will joyfully carry believers into heaven upon death. It notes that Lazarus was escorted and carried by angels into Abraham's side after he died. The document encourages believers not to view death as a tragedy, as angels see it as a time of joy marking the journey from time on earth to eternity in heaven. It provides several biblical passages describing heaven as a joyful place without death, sorrow, pain or tears.

April 9 2017 - Sunday Message - OVERCOMING THE DEVIL BY THE BLOOD OF THE LORD...Catherine Lirio
The document discusses how Jesus overcame Satan through his death on the cross. It references several Bible verses that describe the seven times Jesus shed his blood: when he was crowned with thorns, whipped, crucified with nails in his hands and feet, pierced by a spear, sweated drops of blood in prayer in the garden, and when he prayed "not my will but yours be done."

M2014 s73 jesus is coming soon the parable of the ten virgins 9-21-14 sermonJames Bradshaw
This document is a sermon about Jesus' imminent return and the Parable of the Ten Virgins from Matthew 25:1-13. It discusses how the parable illustrates the need for Christians to be prepared for Jesus' second coming through faith and good works. The sermon warns that Jesus will deny entry into heaven for those who claim to know him but are not truly doing the will of God. It emphasizes living holy lives as we await Jesus' return, which will come suddenly like a thief in the night. Believers must have oil in their lamps like the wise virgins to be ready to meet the bridegroom.
The document provides advice for dealing with difficult times based on biblical teachings. It encourages building one's life on the foundation of Jesus Christ rather than relying on temporary things. When storms come, focusing on God's promises and character can help one withstand challenges. The advice includes not being surprised by hardships, focusing on what God is doing, and seeking support from others during troubles.
The document describes a 2011 mountain climbing trip by the MOUNTAIN T.O.P. TEAM, which included 55 students and adults.

Mobile money services like M-PESA in Kenya have enabled millions of people without bank accounts to conduct financial transactions through their mobile phones, demonstrating the potential of digital payments to expand access to financial services. While replication in other countries has faced challenges, opportunities remain to build on this success by scaling up partnerships across sectors, providing risk capital, strengthening enabling regulation, and expanding connectivity infrastructure to reduce reliance on cash payments.
The document discusses the differences between managers and leaders, using examples from biblical figures and management literature. It notes that while managers focus on planning, organizing, and controlling, leaders inspire and motivate.

While replication in other countries has faced challenges, opportunities remain to build on this success by scaling up partnerships across sectors, providing risk capital, strengthening enabling regulation, and expanding connectivity infrastructure to reduce reliance on cash payments.
The document discusses the concept of apostasy, or falling away from faith, using examples from both the Old and New Testaments. It argues that passages such as Ezekiel 18:24 show that the righteous can turn from righteousness and commit sin, implying they can lose their salvation. Similarly, New Testament passages like Hebrews 6:4-6, Galatians 5:4, and Acts 8:20-22 suggest that true believers can fall away from faith if they abandon God's commands. The overall message is that apostasy is possible and that believers can lose their salvation if they turn from righteousness, but God welcomes their return if they repent.
The document discusses the beliefs and history of the Seventh-day Adventist church. It outlines their views that (1) the 10 Commandments were part of the moral law given at Sinai, separate from the ceremonial law, and are still binding today, and (2) the Sabbath should be observed on Saturday, the 7th day of the week. However, the conclusion argues that (1) there was only one law given at Sinai, (2) the 10 Commandments are no longer binding under the new covenant established by Jesus, and (3) Scripture indicates the Lord's Day is Sunday, not the Jewish Sabbath on Saturday.
The document discusses the history and current state of research on fetal pain. It describes how in the 1970s, the prevailing view was that fetuses and newborns could not feel pain. However, research beginning in the 1980s found that fetuses have fully developed pain receptor pathways by 8 weeks gestation. It provides extensive evidence that fetuses can feel pain, including the presence of pain-sensing structures, neurotransmitters, hormonal and physiological responses to painful stimuli, and efforts to reduce fetal pain through anesthesia. The document rebuts common arguments against fetal pain such as lack of cortex, myelination, communication or memory.
The document provides an overview of the key parts and timeline of the New Testament. It discusses:
- The Gospels which describe Jesus' life, teachings and sacrifice. Acts which describes the transformation of the disciples after Jesus' death. Paul's letters to churches and leaders. Other letters by figures like Peter and John. Revelation which ties up the current and future world.
- Jesus fulfilling the law by living a perfect life and enabling followers to fulfill it through their relationship with him based on acknowledging and reciprocating his love and forgiveness.
- Jesus as the perfect savior, leader, and role model and the perfect future after judgment of victory and glory. However, humans continue to be imperfect but strive for

This document discusses the need for intense engagement in evangelism. It notes that billions are dying without Christ and churches may cease to exist unless more is done to meet this need. However, the need is not being met due to a lack of concern, knowledge, courage, faith and focus among Christians. The document urges Christians to fulfill the Great Commission by making disciples, to love others by offering salvation, and to have the zeal of the early church. It argues intense engagement is needed because of God's command, to show love for others, and because of the joy in saving souls and the terror of judgment day. The conclusion calls Christians to restore the church's original mission of intense engagement in God's vineyard.
The document discusses the importance and responsibility of evangelism. It provides several biblical passages that speak of evangelism as proclaiming the gospel to those who have not heard, making God's deeds known among all people, and calling others to believe. The document encourages the reader to join the harvest and become an evangelist, fulfilling the ministry to which God calls believers and warning others of God's message of salvation.
This document contains excerpts from scripture and outlines discussing the judgment seat of Christ. Some key points:
1) All believers will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to be judged based on their works and receive rewards.
2) There are several crowns or rewards that may be received based on faithfulness and service, such as crowns for righteousness, life, rejoicing, and glory.
3) Believers will be judged on how they lived their life in different areas like treating others, using their talents, generosity, enduring suffering, witnessing to souls, and faithfulness.
4) The judgment aims to evaluate works and distribute rewards rather than condemnation, as salvation has
This document provides scripture passages and summaries related to the topic of faith alone or sola fide. It begins with passages that describe faith or belief in God/Jesus leading to salvation, victory over sin, and eternal life. It then discusses obstacles, tests, weaknesses of faith and warnings against unbelief. Next it outlines aids to strengthening faith such as God's promises and works, the Bible, and asking God for wisdom. Finally it presents defenses of faith and admonitions to have courageous faith in God. The overall document examines faith from several angles to provide a thorough biblical perspective on the doctrine of sola fide.
The Powerpoint outlines for this series of lessons on The Great Commission were downloaded from the Duluth, GA Church of Christ website at: http://www.churchofchristduluthga.org/sermons.php
The document provides 10 steps to avoid backsliding in one's faith as a Christian. It advises staying in fellowship with other believers (step 1), standing firm in one's faith during difficult times (step 2), persevering through endurance (step 3), running the faithfully guided by the Bible to win the eternal prize (step 4), and reminding oneself of God's past faithfulness and hope for the future (step 10).
Pastor Elio Marrocco's "The Message Of 1 Thessalonians" sermon at New Life Christian Church on April 27, 2014. You can learn more about New Life Christian Church here: http://www.newlifecc.ca
This document provides biblical passages and guidance about following Jesus and being saved. It encourages accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior by believing he died for sins and was resurrected. It instructs praying to ask Jesus into one's heart in order to be saved, according to Romans 10:13. The document offers a sample prayer to accept Jesus and asks to live a life pleasing to God by attending church, reading the Bible, praying daily, and telling others about Jesus.
The document provides a summary of the contents of the New Testament in 9 paragraphs:

This document discusses the need for Christians to engage intensely in evangelism. It notes that billions are dying without Christ and churches may cease to exist unless more is done to spread the gospel. Some reasons evangelism is not being done effectively include a lack of concern, knowledge, courage, faith and focus among Christians. The document urges Christians to fulfill Christ's command to make disciples of all nations and show love for others by sharing the gospel. It encourages emulating the evangelistic zeal of the early church to fulfill their purpose and experience the joy of saving souls.
The document discusses what believers must do to endure until the end based on passages from the Bible. It says that believers must: 1) build themselves up in faith by making progress in their faith and standing firm on God's word, 2) pray in the Holy Spirit by allowing the Spirit to intercede for them, 3) guard themselves in God's love by consciously choosing to love one another, 4) wait patiently for Jesus' return without growing weary, and 5) save others by preaching the gospel to bring more people to faith.

The document discusses how Christians can exercise their spiritual senses through practicing their faith, similar to how physical exercise strengthens the body. It outlines the spiritual counterparts to the five physical senses - taste, hearing, sight, smell, and touch - and provides Bible verses for how to develop each spiritual sense through regular spiritual practices like reading Scripture, prayer, worship, and acts of service. The overall message is that believers should make an effort to continuously train and strengthen their spiritual faculties just as they would their physical senses.
The document discusses whether groups should fellowship with other denominations. It raises four questions: 1) Should we abandon logic since doctrines contradict each other? 2) Should we abandon our convictions to appear less arrogant? 3) Should we abandon scripture since some see it as outdated or open to interpretation? 4) Can there ever be unity among believers while maintaining logic, convictions, and scripture? It argues that while unity is desirable, it cannot come by abandoning these foundational principles of Christianity. True unity is founded on agreement with the teachings of Christ.
The document discusses spiritual anemia, or spiritual weakness, in Christians. It notes that churches in the New Testament had weak members, as mentioned in passages from Romans, 1 Corinthians, and 1 Thessalonians. The symptoms of spiritual anemia include being weak in resistance, appetite, exercise, estimate of one's abilities, and conscience. The proper attitude toward the spiritually anemic is to not despise them, but rather bear with them and admonish them gently. Spiritual anemia is considered bad because it is willful, contagious, and has eternal consequences.
The document discusses where joy has gone in the Christian life and provides explanations and solutions. It suggests that sin, Satan, and society can bind and blind people from experiencing joy. However, Christians have reasons for joy in their salvation through forgiveness and redemption by Christ, in worship where God's presence and teaching are found, and in service working for God and with other believers to win souls. The conclusion calls Christians to allow God to restore their joy through his Spirit so they can teach others and sing of his righteousness.
Many groups tried to prevent Jesus from completing his mission on Earth. They plotted against him, tried to entangle him in questioning, and sought to discredit or destroy him. However, Jesus responded wisely to their challenges and continued his work. After the resurrection, some still tried to deny it occurred. Ultimately, though many opposed Jesus, none were able to stop him or undo his work as the Savior.
Jesus' work is not finished. He continues adding to his church by saving believers and equipping them for ministry through spiritual gifts. Jesus intercedes for believers before God, serves as head of the church, and will one day judge the world. Currently, he rules as King over his kingdom and provides providential care for believers. Though Jesus returned to heaven, his unfinished work continues, and believers should work to further his purposes.
This document discusses the concept of light and darkness in relation to God and fellowship. It makes the following key points:
1. God is described as light - He is good, pure, and contains no darkness or evil.
2. Darkness symbolizes life without God, chaos, immorality, and failure. It is the opposite of God.
3. For sinful humans to have fellowship with the holy God, they must walk in the light through their life. The blood of Jesus allows them to be cleansed from sin and darkness and brought into God's light.
This document discusses who was responsible for the death of Jesus Christ based on passages from the Bible. It considers that the Jews, Romans, God, Jesus himself, Satan, and all humanity contributed to his crucifixion. While the Jewish leaders supported his death sentence and the Romans carried out the execution, Jesus willingly sacrificed himself to fulfill God's plan and atone for the sins of humanity. Ultimately, the document concludes that everyone is partially responsible as Jesus died to save all people from the consequences of sin.
This document discusses putting God first in various areas of life. It provides Bible verses encouraging the reader to seek God and his kingdom first, pray for leaders, give themselves to God before others, start each day listening to and speaking with God through Bible reading and prayer with him as the top priority. It also mentions honoring God with finances by giving the first portion, putting God's thoughts first in decisions, and loving God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength so he has first place there. The overall message is to make God's priorities your priorities and ensure he is first in your day, week, money, decisions and heart.
Abraham built multiple altars at different locations to worship God. The document discusses lessons that can be learned from Abraham's altars about the nature of worship. Worship should be internal, originating from the heart; intentional, requiring focus on God; intermittent, occurring at specific times rather than constantly; and independent, not relying on pleasing people but only God.
There are many organizations trying to do the work of the church but are not under the authority of the church. They are called parachurch organizations.

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.
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...OmarBarrezueta1
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).

taittreya upanishad - tradition of yoga and Upanishads, this concept of panch...Karuna Yoga Vidya Peetham
In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.
The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docxFred Gosnell
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
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.
