The Wrong Approach to Sin « Reflections in the WORD - 0 views

  •  
    No matter how much we deny, distort or disguise the evidence of sin, we can never change the fact of sin… Only God can remove the stain and penalty of sin. The longer we hide from Him the longer we have to live with the cancer of sin eating away at our lives… Nobody forces us to sin and God does not put us in a situation where we must sin. We are NOT powerless. We CAN choose to resist the influence of others. We CAN rise above our circumstances.

    Indian Stock Markets are very volatile in very nature but regardless of it everyone tried to predict the daily movements in the markets on his own. Not everyone can do this perfectly, so it requires a specialist's job to track the stock and commodities markets and thus make a conclusion about the market directions. Forecasting or predicting the markets is an art in itself. Trade4target have best tools but a man without any software's or any other modes may just predict the better way. http://www.flickr.com/photos/trade-4-target

Suffering: The Forgotten Gift « Reflections in the WORD - 0 views

  •  
    …the Believer who is completing his course of suffering for Christ's sake is completing the process of ceasing from sin. In other words, suffering for Christ's sake transforms the Believer from sin-FULL to sin-LESS; suffering for Christ's sake perfects Believers.

Do not Ask for whom the Bell tolls…… A Chapter by Chapter review of 'Love Win... - 0 views

  • in the Preface there is the disclaimer— ‘nothing in this book has not been claimed before within the parameters of the broad stream of historic orthodox Christianity’  (p. x).   As it turns out, and as we shall see, this is actually not quite accurate, if one is referring to creedal or confessional or conciliar orthodoxy.  If one means no more that some church father somewhere at sometime said something like this before, whether we deem him to be making an off-handed comment or not, then perhaps this claim can stand.
  • What is entirely missing from this chapter is any sort of discussion of sin, sin as the alienating cause of human lostness,  sin as the reason why persons are not going to heaven.  Let me be clear that I think Rom. 1.18-32 is crucial to this question.  Unfortunately Rom. 1 is not dealt with in this first chapter and what texts he does cite he does not treat in any detail.  Rather Rob sort of flits from one text to the next like a butterfly hoping to drain the tiny bit of nectar in each flower.
  • people are not condemned to hell or judgment for what they have never heard about God.   What Romans 1 says is that the reality of God and God’s power is evident in all of creation, and people are judged for what they do with the light about God that they have indeed received.  What Paul says they do is that while they know God exists and is powerful, they refuse to acknowledge God,  the most primal sin of all. In other words,  most of the questions Rob raises in Chapter One are entirely irrelevant.     People do not go to Hell (whether in a handbasket or by some other means of conveyance)  due to ignorance of God or of Christ.

  • Rob wants to suggest that a just or righteous or holy or judging God is somehow not good news. Tell that to the oppressed Christians in North Korea.   Tell that to the ordinary citizens of Libya longing to be set free from a wicked and brutal dictator.  Tell that to the Jews during the Holocaust in WWII.   In a sin-soaked world,  Good News involves both redemption and judgment, both vindication and liberation, both holiness and love.    The God of the Bible is holy love.  Not love without holiness which would fail to deal with the cancer called sin.  And not holiness without love, for if that was the way God related to us all— no one could stand.     The Good News of and about Jesus Christ, who will be the final judge of the world, is that justice, mercy and grace are all a part of this story.

Nothing but the Blood! « Reflections in the WORD - 0 views

    Some treat the blood of Christ as nothing special, they say it was no different from any other blood, but that is NOT what God says in His Word… Only through faith in the blood of Christ can we be saved…

Precious Promises Prevail over Persistent Problems - 0 views

    …our faith in God may be tested to the ultimate. How will we come out on the other side of difficult situations? Will we emerge from our troubles and trials giving Christ the victory for having clung to Him and the promises in His Word?

Born Again! - Are You? - 0 views

  •  
    Jesus came to try to make Salvation as EASY as He possibly could!-And that's why the Religionists crucified Him, that's why they killed Him, because the Church System of the day as good as said it couldn't be done without THEM, without following all of their complicated laws, traditions & religious rigmarole! But Jesus came and showed them that they didn't have to go to church on Sunday-or Saturday or Friday or any other day of the week! They didn't have to follow the Church laws and rules and regulations and the Ten Commandments and all the rest. All they had to do was simply confess that they were sinners and needed Salvation and ask Jesus to give it to them!

Evolution: Fact or Fable? - 0 views

  •  
    When Charles Darwin and his adherents popularized the theory of evolution in the late 1800s, rationalist and humanist scientists and philosophers proclaimed that the death knell had sounded for religion, and for the God of Creation in particular. Now, over 100 years later, both God and faith in the biblical account of Creation are alive and well. In fact, although the theory of evolution has long been taught as fact in most schools and universities with the Bible's account and other opposing views being given little or no voice, a growing number of respected scientists are joining the "creationist" camp.

The Role of the Pastor/Teacher in Disciple-Making Movements - 0 views

  • It is the Pastor/Teacher who will raise up the next crop of leaders who will fulfill the roles of apostle, prophet, evangelist, and pastor/teacher.  The laborers come out of the harvest, and the Pastor/Teacher is the farmer who carefully tends the sheep of God; protecting them, training them, deploying them in partnership with the evangelism team, identifying those with potential and making sure they are trained as the next generation of leaders though knowledge, practice, teaching others and replication.
  • A Movement usually only needs one or two apostolic types, a handful of prophets, and several dozen teams of evangelists.  But for the movement to succeed, it needs a pastor/teacher type for every 10 new groups started in order to complete the good work started.  The biggest challenge of the leadership of Movements is the training of the pastor/teacher role from within the movement.
  • When this element of movement is in place, and when it continues the learning processes used by the startup team, then workers emerge, pastor/teachers develop, and a very healthy self-replicating church is born.  The startup team moves on to the next place without church, but the pastor/teachers stay in place, maturing the church and developing an army of leaders who will extend the Kingdom of God. It is the responsibility of every Movement Strategist to make sure that the Pastor/Teacher development role is in place and that it is strong.  Without this element, movement will falter and fail.

What You Celebrate as a Church Is Just as Important as What You Believe - The Gospel Co... - 0 views

  • Week after week, the churches emphasize and celebrate what makes them different from other churches. They celebrate their uniqueness—not the gospel uniqueness that shines light in a dark world, but a worldly uniqueness that would have us base our identity in stylistic distinctions between brothers and sisters.
