This document discusses why marriage matters according to biblical passages. It provides six reasons for marriage: 1) For the connection of men and women, as God said it is not good for man to be alone; 2) For the multiplication of the human race, as God commanded Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply; 3) For the protection of children, as Proverbs says children have refuge in marriage; 4) For the perfection of character, as we learn not to be selfish through marriage; 5) For the construction of society, as righteousness lifts up a nation; 6) For reflecting the union of Christ and the church, as Ephesians says marriage represents this relationship.

From The Cradle To The Cross.
The document summarizes the story of Jesus' life from birth to death using the analogy of three trees.
1) The first tree became the manger for Jesus' birth, representing Christmas past and the cradle. Jesus was born to die for humanity's redemption.
2) The second tree became the crossbeam of the crucifixion, representing Christmas present and the cross. Jesus suffered and died to reveal God and bring humanity into fellowship with him.
3) The third tree became the first Christmas tree, representing Christmas future and the crown. Jesus will return to take believers to the marriage supper of the Lamb in heaven. The cradle and cross are fundamentally connected in the Christmas story and message of salvation.
The Cradle, The Cross And The Crown
The document discusses the cradle, cross, and crown of Jesus Christ. It describes the cradle as his incarnation, intervention, and inspiration. It then examines the cross, citing verses about God's love and Jesus giving himself for humanity. Finally, it looks at the crown, referencing Jesus wearing the crown of thorns and his future return with a golden crown to gather believers. The overall message is reflecting on who Jesus is and his role in salvation.

Sabbath school lesson 4, 4th quarter 2018
Paul wrote to the Ephesians about the importance of unity. He teaches that true unity comes through Christ, who breaks down divisions. Unity involves the whole church and all areas of life. Paul outlines how church leaders should support unity, and how Christians can maintain unity through respectful relationships both in the family and at work. Maintaining unity requires being filled with the Spirit and submitting to one another in love.
Colossians
The pastor discusses several Bible passages about how Christians should treat each other. Christians are called to show compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. God chose believers before creation to be holy and blameless through Jesus. They should forgive each other as God forgave them, and above all put on love, which unites them.

The document advocates for pursuing unity through humility, mutual submission, and forgiveness within marriages, families, the church, and among believers. It suggests that personal and corporate revival requires dealing with sins and fostering unity in these areas.
The Body and Sexuality: How We As Orthodox Understand It
The document discusses Orthodox Christian views on sexuality, relationships, and the human person. It provides perspectives from Scripture and Church Fathers on how God created humans as male and female to participate in His act of creation through marriage and family. It addresses moral issues like pornography, abortion, and non-marital sexual relationships. The document emphasizes that sexuality is a gift from God meant to be expressed within the loving context of marriage, and should not involve using others or prioritizing selfish desires over another's dignity.
Sabbath school lesson 1, 4th quarter of 2018
God originally created humanity to live in perfect unity and harmony. However, sin disrupted this unity beginning with Adam and Eve's disobedience. As time passed, humanity became increasingly corrupt until God brought the Flood to wipe out most of mankind. After the Flood, at Babel God confused humanity's languages, further dividing people. To restore unity, God called Abraham and chose the Israelites as His people. However, the final and full restoration of unity will come through the work of Jesus Christ.
Loving God's House
1) Belonging to a local church is important because it allows you to identify as a genuine believer and show love for Christ's body. You cannot be a Christian in isolation.
2) Church membership helps prevent self-centered isolation and allows you to encourage and be encouraged by other believers.
3) Being part of a church family helps you grow spiritually through using your spiritual gifts to serve others and build each other up.
4) Each believer's participation is important because the body of Christ needs every member to function well.
10-20-19, Ephesians 4;11-16, Walking Together
This document provides an outline and summary of Ephesians 4:11-16 from a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi. It discusses how Christ brings unity among believers and within the church. Christ gave gifts like apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastors to equip saints for serving and building up the body of Christ. This helps believers attain unity in faith and knowledge of Christ to mature like Him. Maintaining unity depends on our connection to Christ as the head of the church. The conclusion exhorts maintaining the same mindset as described in Philippians 2:1-4.
04 April 29, 2012 Philippians, Chapter 3 Verse 20
The document contains a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on Friend Day. The sermon discusses several biblical passages about waiting for God and the return of Jesus Christ. It emphasizes that believers' citizenship is in heaven and they are waiting expectantly for Jesus to return. When he does, each believer's works will be tested and evaluated, and they will be rewarded or suffer loss depending on the eternal nature of their works. The sermon encourages believers to remain united with Christ and build their lives around him alone.

Sabbath school lesson 13, 3rd quarter 2019
This document discusses how Christians should serve as a community. It outlines that Christians are called to serve one another and their community, just as Jesus served. It provides examples of how the early believers cared for those in need within the church and community. It encourages Christians to intercede for others, preach the gospel through words and deeds, treat one another with love and fairness within the church, and cooperate with each other through using their individual gifts. The goal is to save souls in a short period of time through consecrating themselves to serving others.

Valentine
Saint Valentine is the patron saint of couples. In ancient Rome, Emperor Claudius II only wanted single men to serve in his army. Valentine secretly married couples, for which he was imprisoned and beheaded. The Bible says in Genesis that it is not good for man to be alone, so God created woman from man's rib to be his companion. Jesus blessed marriage at the wedding in Cana by turning water into wine. Authentic married love is meant to be total, faithful, fruitful, and reflective of the love between Christ and His church.
Sacred heart 1 - in the bible
a summary of references to the Love of God for men symbolised in the sacred heart, taken from the old and new testaments
Not forsaking the assembly
The document discusses the importance of believers assembling together as described in Hebrews 10:19-25. It emphasizes that assembling means more than just meeting together, but rather fitting together as parts of a body where each member has a role to play. Neglecting to consider each other's needs and contributions hinders growth, making the assembly like a box of puzzle pieces rather than a completed puzzle. Each believer has been placed by God in the body to operate according to their gifting for the body's edification.

Buckets #1 - 15 March 2020 - Bruce McCallum
The document contains passages from the Bible about Christians being the salt of the earth and the light of the world. It discusses how Christians must not withdraw from society but remain distinctive in order to have influence and let their light shine. It emphasizes the importance of not conforming to worldly patterns of thinking and instead transforming one's mind through focusing on scripture. Specific scriptures highlighted include substituting negative thoughts with passages about thinking on things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely and praiseworthy. The overall message is that Christians should prepare their minds for positive action by stopping negative thoughts and building new thought patterns based on scripture.
The Two Series #4: Foundations and the Secret Life - Bruce McCallum - 1 March...
The Two Series #4: Foundations and the Secret Life - Bruce McCallum - 1 March...El Shaddai Christian Church
This document contains Jesus' teaching from Matthew 7:24-28 about building one's life and faith on either a rock foundation or a sandy one. It also discusses building a "secret life with Jesus" through practices like tithing, prayer, and fasting. Finally, it encourages living with eternity in view and being disciples who make other disciples. The overall message is about building a strong spiritual foundation in Christ that can withstand life's storms by hearing God's word and obeying it through daily spiritual disciplines.The Flame, The Gift & The Guard - 23 February 2020 -Clayton Nel
Timothy is reminded to fan into flame the gift of God within him. God gives power, love and self-discipline, not a timid spirit. Paul urges Timothy to not be ashamed of testifying to Christ. God saves believers and calls them to a holy life not for any works but for His grace. Paul was appointed to preach this gospel. Though suffering, Paul is not ashamed knowing God will guard what is entrusted until the final day. Timothy is told to guard the good deposit with the help of the Holy Spirit.
The Two Series #3 - Obedience - 16 February 2020 - Bruce McCallum
The document discusses Jesus' teaching about obedience to his words. It provides the parable of two house builders, one who built his house on rock by obeying Jesus' words, and one who built on sand by merely hearing but not obeying. The document then gives five points about obedience: 1) Obey God and leave the consequences to him, 2) Make obedience a joy, 3) Obedience is the way to receive more of the Holy Spirit, 4) Obedience is how we show love to Jesus, and 5) Intimacy with God results from joyful obedience to his commands.
The Two series: Part 2 - Bruce McCallum - 9 February 2020
The passage describes two types of people - those who hear Jesus' words and put them into practice, and those who only hear them but do not practice them. It compares the former to a wise man who built his house on a solid rock foundation, allowing it to withstand storms, while the latter are like a foolish man who built on sand, causing his house to collapse in the storms. When Jesus finished speaking, the crowds were amazed by his teaching.
The Two Series #1 - 2 February 2020 - Bruce McCallum
The document describes Jesus teaching about the importance of putting his words into practice rather than just hearing them. It compares those who hear Jesus' words and follow them to a wise man who built his house on a solid rock foundation, allowing it to withstand storms. Those who only hear but do not act are like a foolish man who built on sand, causing his house to collapse in the face of difficulties. When Jesus finished teaching, the crowds were amazed at the power and uniqueness of his message.
2020 Vision - 26 January - Bruce McCallum
This document contains summaries of biblical passages about placing one's life before God as an offering, making disciples of all nations by baptizing them and teaching them to obey God's commands, and being disciples who make other disciples. It encourages spending 20 minutes a day connecting with God and 20 minutes with others. The overarching message is about evangelism, spiritual revival, and transforming society through God's kingdom.
Vision 2020 - 19 January 2020 - Bruce McCallum
This document provides recommendations for Bible reading resources and methods, as well as guidance on evangelism and discipleship. It recommends the BioY and YouVersion Bible apps and using the SOAP method of Scripture reading, which involves reading a passage, making observations, applying it personally, and praying. It also emphasizes the importance of vision, making disciples, and living as "sheep among wolves" to evangelize in the current era through fathering, reviving the church through community, and transforming society through kingdom initiatives.
Radical Community - 12 January 2020 - Clayton Nel
Christianity helped revitalize cities in the Greco-Roman world by providing new social norms and relationships to address common problems. It offered charity and hope to the poor and homeless. It also provided a sense of community and family for strangers and orphans/widows. Christianity formed new social bonds that reduced ethnic conflict and established effective healthcare during crises like epidemics, fires and earthquakes. Overall, Christianity constructed a new culture that improved life in cities.
Look Up - Bruce McCallum - 25 December 2019
This document discusses how everything changed for Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the wise men when they looked up to God. It describes how Mary accepted God's plan when the angel visited her. Joseph received clarity in a dream when he looked to God. The shepherds were filled with joy when they saw the baby Jesus, as the angels had said. The wise men followed the star and brought gifts when they found Jesus. The key message is that looking to God through faith can change our perspectives and lives.
Slow Down, Be Thankful - 22 December 2019 - Michael Howard
The document discusses the importance of slowing down and being thankful. It references passages from the Bible that encourage replacing comparison with contentment, slowing down each day to spend time with God, and being thankful for both blessings and trials, as they help us grow. Living with a thankful and expectant attitude allows God to work infinitely more than we can imagine.
Busy not Hurried - 8 December 2019 - Bruce McCallum
This document discusses the concept of "hurry sickness", which is defined as a constant struggle to accomplish more in less time against perceived opposition from others. It notes that while being busy is an outward condition, being hurried is an inner condition that prevents being fully present with God, oneself, and others. Some signs of hurry sickness include speeding up, sighing frequently, encouraging others to accelerate, feeling annoyed by waits, having clutter, and experiencing "sunset fatigue". The document warns that hurry can decrease compassion and increase anxiety, harm relationships, and lead to a superficial existence. It recommends slowing down, practicing solitude, and being still to know God.
Thank You - 1 December 2019 - Bruce McCallum
1. This document discusses living a life of thankfulness to God. It encourages believing that God is great, perfect, loving, fair, good, kind and merciful.
2. It recommends expressing thanks to God through heartfelt singing, learning to say thank you, volunteering one's abilities, and making thankfulness a regular practice.
3. The conclusion is that heaven will be filled with eternal thanks to God, and that a grateful attitude is important in life rather than taking things for granted.
Jonah Series Part 6 - 24 November 2019 - Bruce McCallum
The document discusses lessons that can be learned from the story of Jonah and how it relates to Jesus. It summarizes seven key points: 1) Have faith without needing signs, like Jonah's time in the whale foreshadowed Jesus. 2) Love requires sacrifice, as Jesus sacrificed himself. 3) God loves and accepts people unconditionally, like the prodigal son. 4) Sometimes you must hit rock bottom before rising up, as Jonah did. 5) Have compassion for others, as Jesus wept for Jerusalem. 6) Break down divisions, as the Good Samaritan helped people of other groups. 7) Spread God's message to others everywhere, as Jesus commanded his followers to go forth.
Jonah Chapter 4 - 17 November 2019 - Clayton Nel
Jonah is displeased and angry that God spared the people of Nineveh from destruction after they repented. Jonah complains to God, wishing to die rather than see the people spared. God questions whether Jonah's anger is justified, and points out that Jonah cares for a plant that required no work but will not pity the great city of Nineveh and its people who know not their right hand from their left. God shows more compassion even for Nineveh's people and livestock than Jonah does.

Jonah - God's Heart & Our Part in The City Part 3 - 27 October 2019 - Bruce M...El Shaddai Christian Church
The document summarizes the biblical story of Jonah. It describes how Jonah fled from God's command by boarding a ship to Tarshish, away from God's presence. However, God hurled a great storm at the sea, endangering the ship. Though the sailors prayed to their gods, Jonah slept, showing his disregard for God. The document uses Jonah's story to convey that one cannot escape God's presence and mercy, even through great storms, and that arrogance towards God will not go unpunished.Jonah - God's Heart and Our Part in the City - Part 2
This document discusses how Jesus and Jonah both got "broken by brokenness". It describes how Jesus had compassion for broken people and wept over Jerusalem. Jonah initially fled from God's call to preach to the broken people of Nineveh but ultimately went and preached to them. The document encourages readers to find what or who breaks their heart, get their heart transformed by God, avoid numbness to brokenness, and pray to have God break their heart for what breaks his. It contrasts the "failed Jonah" who ran from brokenness with the "ultimate Jonah", Jesus, who drew near and wept for the broken.
Jonah - God's Heart and our Part in the City - 6 October 2019 - Bruce McCallum
Jonah - God's Heart and our Part in the City - 6 October 2019 - Bruce McCallumEl Shaddai Christian Church
Jonah was instructed by God to go preach against the wicked city of Nineveh. However, Jonah fled from God's command and boarded a ship to Tarshish instead. Both Adam and Eve and Jonah went against God's instructions - Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree, while Jonah fled from preaching to Nineveh as God commanded. There are two ways people run from God - some reject Him outright, while others claim to follow Him but do not truly know or obey His will. In the end, both groups turn away from God. The document challenges the reader to be willing to go where God sends them and trust Him even if His commands are not fully understood.More from El Shaddai Christian Church (20)

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.
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.

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.Powerful Magic Rings+27604255576 for Money Fame Job Promotions Gambling in So...

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.

The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docx
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.
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.

- 6. “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a companion who is right for him.” Genesis 2:18
- 7. Jesus said, “God’s plan has been seen from the beginning of creation, when he made us male and female. This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united as one body. Now since they are no longer two but one, no one should separate them, for GOD has joined them together.” Mark 10:6-9 (NLT)
- 8. 2. FOR THE MULTIPLICATION OF THE HUMAN RACE
- 9. “So God created people in his own image; He patterned them after himself—creating both male and female with his image. Then God blessed them and commanded them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth!’” Genesis 1:27-28a (NLT)
- 10. “God, not you, made marriage. His Spirit inhabits even the smallest details of marriage. And what does he want from marriage? Godly children from your union. So guard the spirit of marriage within you.” Malachi 2:15 (Mes)

- 19. “Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. . . He died so that he could give the church to himself as a Bride in all her beauty. . . In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they love their own bodies. . . No one ever hates his own body, but feeds and takes care of it. And that is what Christ does for his church, his body. The Scripture says, ‘a man is united with his wife, and the two become one body.’ This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church! So each husband must love his wife as he loves himself, and each wife must respect her husband.” Ephesians 5:25-33
