BUILDING A SPIRITUAL WALL: Five Imperatives of Spiritual Growth « Reflections... - 0 views

  •  
    Despite the damage sin does to us spiritually and physically, the Blood of Jesus Christ washes us clean and makes us new. From human eyes, it might not look like much, but we have everything we need to build up our spiritual wall of salvation. And that wall is indestructible, because God is its architect. Therefore, if/when we fall into sin let us not doubt our spiritual growth (if indeed we have been growing!). Rather, we should keep an eye on the gates watching and praying so that the enemy does not infiltrate our spiritual wall and lead us into temptation (Mark 14:38).

Encounters with Jesus: The Rich Young Ruler. « Reflections in the WORD - 0 views

  •  
    Is Salvation valuable enough to give up everything to get it?… For Salvation to come to our lives, it must displace everything from our lives… If Salvation means ANYTHING to us, it must be EVERYTHING to us. How much are you willing to lose just to get Salvation? How much is too much to lose to get Salvation?

    Each and every believer has been chosen by God to do SPECIFIC work in His Kingdom, here on earth… God's blueprint for your life is there but you will only find it if you willing to seek it out. And, you will only seek it out if you really want to serve Him.

Clothe your Children in Scarlet. « Reflections in the WORD - 0 views

  •  
    We often miss our most important responsibility to our children: tilling/cultivating the soil of their heart (getting rid of all the growth-hindering rocks and all the life-choking weeds of distraction) and planting the seed of God's Word in it (Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23). Wisdom for living is ONLY found in the WORD of God and only the Holy Spirit can guide us through life. So, let us "clothe" our children in the scarlet Blood of Jesus Christ so that they will be prepared for the harshest winters of life.

    "The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe." ~ Proverbs 29:25Fear of man (a) Dishonors God, (b) Distorts God's Message and (c) Disables the Believer.Instead of fearing man, let us fear God. Let us acknowledge His omnipotence, His absolute righteousness and His complete authority…

Elijah and the Captains of Fifty | The Good, The Bad and the Uh… Seriously?? ... - 0 views

  •  
    If we humble ourselves to God, we will enjoy success (as God defines it) in this earthly life and in eternity; and we will avoid the fires of judgment. Don't force God to show you who is King: serve Him and be fireproof; challenge Him and you will get fire proof.

Be ALL you SHOULD Be | Part 1: A DEFENCED CITY « Reflections in the WORD - 0 views

  •  
    Nothing we do of our own strength can protect us from the evils of this world… But, while we are walking in God's will, though the evil of the world may touch us, it can't defeat us, because a believer's victory is not in earthly security, it is in eternal security. Our victory isn't in physical safety, it is in spiritual strength: we are victorious when God's will is accomplished in us, not when we escape the travails/struggles of life.

Man of Contrasts « Reflections in the WORD - 0 views

  •  
    He who is the Bread of Life began His ministry hungering. He who is the Water of Life ended His ministry thirsting. Christ hungered as a man, yet fed the hungry as God. He was weary, yet He is our rest. He paid tribute, yet He is the King. He was called a devil, but He cast out demons. He prayed, yet He hears prayer. He wept, and He dries our tears. He was sold for 30 pieces of silver, yet He redeems sinners. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, yet He is the Good Shepherd. He gave His life, and by dying He destroyed death.

Triablogue: I was a teenage zombie - 0 views

  • I’ll finish with a few suggestions. Although there’s nothing a parent can do guarantee that his kids will remain in the faith, you can take some precautionary measures:i) Choose your battles with care. Don’t give your kids too many things to rebel against. The more things you give them to rebel again, the more likely they are to rebel. Don’t load them down with unbiblical restrictions.
  • ii) In the nature of the case, happy people are not as restive as mad or sad people. For example, some parents treat church attendance as an onerous duty. Like eating your turnips and parsnips and spinach.
  • Are you kids miserable in church? Why? Try to find out. Try to do something about it.

  • iii) The world likes to glamorize evil. By contrast, you should expose your kids to the ugly underbelly of evil. Do so in a controlled environment. Take them to shelters for battered women. Or prison ministries. Or night-watch ministries. Expose them to the violence and despair of a godless lifestyle.
  • iv) Teach them basic reading skills. They should read some of the following books:Craig Blomberg, The Historical Reliability of the GospelsV. Philips Long, The Art of Biblical HistoryLeland Ryken, Words of Delight: A Literary Introduction to the BibleMeir Sternberg, The Poetics of Biblical Narrative
  • v) And, of course, they should become acquainted with some standard apologetic literature. There’s a lot of find online material.

Religion and Ethics: Down Syndrome - 0 views

  •  
    Down syndrome is a genetic disorder (involving an extra copy of chromosome 21) that leads to moderate intellectual disability, as well as a range of physical and health problems. Screening for Down syndrome during pregnancy can be done in a number of ways. The religion and ethics program presents two different women and the tough decisions they had to make after screening their babies for Down Syndrome. Are their actions morally right? or ethically allowable? or religiously authorized?
