You are not alone!

S and you sometimes think about why he is still trying to live as a Christian, you're not alone. If you occasionally feel you are not making much progress in their spiritual growth, you're not alone. If you often think that no one else seems to be struggling with the problems the way you are, you're not alone. If you feel the temptation to give up, you're not alone. Many Christians sometimes feel the same way. There are many things that discourage Christians. Sometimes we become restless with these trials (using the language of Paul - 1 Thessalonians 3:3, where he comments on the chase). Our own failures may serve to discourage us. The size of some of the spiritual and moral challenges we face can be overwhelming for us. Sometimes Christians are simply "overcome" the difficulties of life...

Zacchaeus

Anyone who has climbed a tree? How long have you do not climb a tree?Usually, children climb trees. Few adults usually do that. Do when they are desperate, or when in leisure time or reliving their childhood.  Luke 19:1-10Today salvation has come to (V, 9).  The Gospel of Jesus Christ comes down to proclaim that Jesus Christ came to seek and save what was lost.The day that salvation came into our homes, or day that salvation will come in your house will be a day that marks the history of their lives. Jesus makes reference to that: "This man (Zacchaeus) is also the son of Abraham. This is fantastic! A man hitherto sinner has a new life. In this context, salvation refers to inner health, salvation of the soul. He is the son of Abraham. The blessings of the covenant God made with Abraham...

Do you feel esteemed by God?

Isaiah 66.2 NOT MY HANDS did all these things, and so came into being? QUESTION THE LORD. THIS Esteem: the humble and contrite of spirit, who trembles at My Word. God grants His mercy to the humble, but curses the proud and self-sufficient (see Luke 51-53). Our society encourages us to assertiveness and self-assertion. Do not allow your freedom of choice and their right to take his life away from the path of God, which leads to eternal life. (Bible study personal application) One of the good things in this life, is able to feel the appreciation of family and friends about us. He who does not feel loved by family and friends, becomes a lonely, sad, abandoned and rejected. If it's great to be esteemed by men, imagine being the target of the esteem of God, one who is the creator of all things...

Stealing God's word

Roubar sin is a plaintive, mournful quoted with other sins. Those who commit such sins will not inherit the kingdom of God. "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God " (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) . A person can rob God of holding what is God's by right - neglecting to give as prospered (1 Corinthians 16:1-2, Malachi 3:8-10). A person can even steal the word of God. God made this accusation against the prophets of Judah, "Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one to his fellow" (Jeremiah 23:30). They took the word of God taught...

The necessity of water baptism

The role of water baptism in the salvation of people is very easy to understand. The apostle Peter told his listeners on the Day of Pentecost were "baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins" (Acts 2:38). As baptism is "for the remission of sins" , it is absolutely necessary for salvation. Some argue, however, that the baptism of Acts 2:38 is actually the baptism of the Holy Spirit, not water baptism. There are several difficulties associated with this view. Jesus promised his apostles that he would send the Holy Spirit, also described as "the Comforter" and "the Spirit of truth" , after ascending to heaven. After his resurrection, Jesus commanded the apostles to stay in Jerusalem to await the promise (Acts...

Serpents and Doves

"Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16). Serpentes and doves - two creatures with little in common. And yet, in the development of our character, we should be "how" they are in some respects. It's a good paradox, is not it? Much of the character of Christian is a paradox. For example: We should control our tongues (James 3:1-12) but also be bold in speech (Ephesians 6:20). There is no virtue in a language that is uncontrolled or daring in a language that is so controlled that it is never daring. Our languages need a "daring controlled" for both publicly rebuke sin (Galatians 2:11-21) and particularly (Matthew 18:15). Although the consequences may be unpleasant (Mark 6:16-18), we must speak boldly, and...

The man lacked one thing

H avia a remarkable man who came to Jesus one day to see how he could go to heaven. It looked like a man who longed for life right with God. Although he had led a life of good quality, within the moral standards and decency and was a kind man, he realized he still had something. He recognized that Jesus could meet this need and wished much better. Jesus told the man that he lacked only one thing. He needed to sell all he had to give income to the poor and follow him. "But he countered with this word, he went away sad, because he owned much property" (Mark 10:22). It is clear that the man really wanted to go to heaven, but was not willing to pay such a high price. The reaction of this man to Jesus' answer shows that Jesus was right in diagnosing your problem. No doubt he loved his possessions...
