God’s goal is not merely that you escape corruption, but that you share in His nature. God has provided everything we need, but that does not erase our need for diligence.

Hope
Christian hope is defined as a certainty and confidence in our future with God. It gives believers strength to face challenges, teaches patience, and brings encouragement. Christian hope is based on God's promises throughout the Bible, such as the promise of a Messiah for Israel and God's covenant with Abraham. It culminates in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the promise that he will return. Hope keeps faith and love strong by providing confidence that hardship is not permanent and that God is in control of the future.

Physical and emotional intimacy in marriage part 1
This document discusses physical and emotional intimacy in marriage. It summarizes a passage from 1 Corinthians 7 that says sexual relations are good within marriage between a man and woman. Marriage can contain strong sexual drives and provide a balanced sexual life. The marriage bed should be a place of mutuality where partners seek to satisfy each other. Marriage is about serving the other person, not standing up for your rights. Abstaining from sex is allowed if both agree and it's for prayer and fasting, but then they should come back together. True understanding of physical intimacy requires understanding God's purposes for marriage, which is difficult due to its private nature and how society has distorted its meaning.

It emphasizes the importance of entrusting the gospel message to "reliable people" who will teach "others," so that the deposit of faith is passed on rather than guarded selfishly.

Peter make clear that we are to live a godly life. The way we live demonstrates who and what we worship. We are to make every effort to grow and develop a godly lifestyle.
Faith and Character
Faith is the starting point for building godly character. With faith comes salvation through Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to guide us. While non-Christians can exhibit moral behavior, true godly character involves an internal heart change aligned with God's desires. To develop character, Christians must add virtues to their faith like goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, kindness and love.

11-06-16, 2 Peter 1;1-11, Being Useful
This document provides an outline and summary of a sermon given on 2 Peter 1:1-11. The key points are:
1. In knowing Christ, believers have everything they need for life and growth. They partake in Christ's divine nature through the Holy Spirit and escape sin's corruption.
2. Believers must actively pursue spiritual maturity by supplementing their faith with virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, kindness, and love.
3. Pursuing growth confirms one's salvation and prevents being ineffective. Neglecting growth makes one spiritually blind and forgetful of salvation.
Christian growth
This document discusses growing in grace through knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. It encourages adding virtues like faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, patience, godliness, kindness, and love. Faith is the first step towards God, but it must be accompanied by good deeds to be useful. These virtues will help believers not be barren or unfruitful and see far off. Without these virtues, one is blind and has forgotten their cleansing from sin. Believers are encouraged to prove they are among God's called and chosen by doing these things to never fall away.
How to grow_in_grace
This passage discusses how Christians can grow in grace and knowledge. It says we must add virtues like faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love. If a Christian possesses these things and they abound, they will bear fruit and not be barren, and will experience growth in grace through knowledge of God and Jesus. The passage emphasizes developing moral excellence and standing up for righteousness, controlling desires and passions, enduring trials with patience, being godly through good works, showing kindness to other believers, and having love.
Understanding god
1) The document discusses understanding God's grace and living by grace rather than performance. It argues Christians often revert to a performance-based walk due to failing to understand continuous grace.
2) It explains that grace is God's free and unmerited favor shown to sinners. Holiness is also a gift of grace, as God sees believers as perfectly holy in Christ.
3) The document emphasizes that believers possess holiness in Christ before God, and through His grace are sanctified daily as the Holy Spirit transforms them into Christ's likeness.
Understanding god
This document discusses the difference between living by grace versus living by performance. It argues that while good works are important, they should come from a place of responding to God's grace rather than trying to earn God's favor. The document outlines how we are all in need of God's grace due to our sinful nature. It was only by God's grace that we can be saved through faith in Jesus, not by our own works. If we enter God's kingdom by grace, we must live in it by grace as well. Our motivation should be God's love and grace for us, not trying to fulfill requirements to gain blessings. True spiritual works flow from walking in God's grace, not to earn it. All of God
Confirmation 7 & 8 done
This document provides a summary of key Christian concepts related to works and salvation. It discusses several Bible passages and argues that salvation is by God's grace through faith alone, not by works. The key points are:
1) Salvation is 100% dependent on God's grace and 0% on our good works. We are not justified by observing the law but by faith alone.
2) Good works do not earn salvation, which is a free gift from God. If we pursue salvation through works, we lose God's gift.
3) When we come to faith, the Holy Spirit changes our attitude so that we now hate sin and are eager to do God's will.
4) As Christians
2013 Book of Mormon: Chapter 14 (Institute Lesson by hgellor)
This document provides doctrinal teachings from 2 Nephi 31-33 regarding the doctrine of Christ and faith in Jesus Christ. It discusses that the doctrine of Christ leads to eternal life, the words of Christ and the Holy Ghost teach us what to do, and those who believe in Jesus Christ will also believe the words of Nephi. It then expands on key aspects of the doctrine of Christ, including faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism by immersion, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.
#SH2015 Day 3: Deeper (with @krishk & @drbexl)
The document discusses being rooted in love through the Holy Spirit. It explores what it means to be filled by the Spirit, including when believers receive the Spirit, whether being filled is a separate experience, and what are the signs of being filled. The document emphasizes that without the Spirit, believers do not have Christ, cannot please God, will not be transformed, and fail to experience life to the full. It encourages finding more slides on being rooted deeper in faith.
But wait! there is more part 09 (more presence)
This document contains several passages from 2 Corinthians 4 that discuss Paul's ministry and struggles. It emphasizes that though Paul faces hardships, he does not lose heart because he has received the treasure of God's mercy and gospel in his ministry. The gospel's message is veiled to unbelievers but reveals God's glory. Paul's goal is to preach Christ rather than himself. Though physically weak, Paul's inner being is being renewed as he fixes his eyes on the eternal, unseen things of God.
05. How Do I Share My Testimony
1. The document discusses the basic gospel message of sin, Jesus' sacrifice, and salvation through repentance and faith.
2. It provides guidance on sharing one's testimony, including why it's important and examples from the Bible. Common barriers to sharing are also addressed.
3. Detailed outlines are given for constructing an effective personal testimony, with sections on life before and after faith in Jesus and how one came to believe. Guidelines emphasize glorifying God and focusing on Jesus.
But wait! there is more part 07 (more hope)
God has given believers a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This living hope is an inheritance in heaven that can never perish. Believers are protected by God's power as they wait for their salvation. Though they may face trials, their faith will be proven genuine and result in praise for Jesus Christ. Even though they have not seen Jesus, believers love him and find joy in their salvation, which is the goal of their faith.

He instructs them not to fear people as much as God, who has authority over both body and soul. Jesus promises to acknowledge before God those who acknowledge him before men, but those who deny him will be denied. The Holy Spirit will give disciples words to say when they are brought before leaders to defend their faith.

When studying Scripture and a question is encountered within a passage, be sure to understand the premise underlying it- do not take it at face value.
The_Chronological_Life_of_Christ_Part_91_The_Way_of_Blessing
Jesus responds to those accusing him of casting out demons by Beelzebul by pointing out the logical flaws in their argument. He lays out that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand, and that if Satan is divided and casting people out of himself, his kingdom would collapse. Jesus further explains that if his exorcisms are by the power of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon them. He tells the crowds that whoever is not with him is against him. Jesus rebukes the generation seeking signs, saying the only sign given will be the sign of Jonah. He emphasizes the importance of hearing and keeping God's word for true blessing.
The_Chronological_Life_of_Christ_Part_90_The_Priority_of_Prayer
Jesus teaches his disciples about prayer in response to their request. He gives them a model prayer focusing on hallowing God's name, desiring his kingdom to come, and acknowledging dependence on him for daily provision and forgiveness. Jesus encourages prayer by reminding them of God's generosity like a father who provides for his children, and says God will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask. He emphasizes making prayer a priority and having the right priorities in prayer, such as honoring God and trusting in his provision.

Martha welcomed Jesus into her home but became distracted serving Him, while her sister Mary sat at His feet listening to His teaching. Martha complained to Jesus that Mary wasn't helping her, but Jesus said Mary chose the better part by spending time with Him rather than being distracted by many tasks. The passage emphasizes the importance of sitting at Jesus' feet to listen to Him over being busy doing things for Him without truly focusing on Him.The_Chronological_Life_of_Christ_Part_88_Faith_Working_Through_Love
Faith is more than holding a set of doctrines, it also seeks to live rightly relating to God and others.
The_Chronological_Life_of_Christ_Part_87_Names_Written_in_Heaven.pptx
The seventy-two disciples returned from their mission joyfully saying that even demons were subject to them in Jesus' name. Jesus tells them that he saw Satan fall from heaven and that they have been given authority over all the power of the enemy. He says to rejoice not that spirits are subject to them, but that their names are written in heaven. Jesus rejoices that God has revealed these things to the disciples and not the wise and understanding. All things have been handed over to Jesus by God and no one knows the Son except the Father. Jesus tells the disciples that many prophets and kings desired to see and hear what they have seen and heard.

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).

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.

- 1. 2 Peter 1:3-4 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him Who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. www.networkbible.org
- 2. 2 Peter 1:5-7 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. www.networkbible.org
- 3. 2 Peter 1:8-9 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. www.networkbible.org
- 4. 2 Peter 1:10-11 Therefore, my dear brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. www.networkbible.org
- 5. You cannot give yourself diligently to EVERYTHING, but you have likely given yourself diligently to SOMETHING This passage confronts us with one of the great tensions in scripture: the SOVEREIGNTY of God and FREE WILL We are SAVED through GRACE by FAITH in Jesus alone, but we do not GROW by faith alone.
- 6. What do we DO with what we have been GIVEN? Godliness is ATTAINABLE; life change possible Life and godliness come through KNOWLEDGE of Him…
- 7. Peter doesn’t explain what the promises are, only the RESULT they ENABLE God’s goal is not merely that you ESCAPE corruption, but that you SHARE in His nature God has provided EVERYTHING we need, but that does not erase our need for DILIGENCE.
