Member You - Holiness in Family and Business - is it Possible?
Lightweight backpacking or ultralight backpacking certainly enable you to travel more miles in a day. I can easily go farther in my running shoes, with my fifteen-pound pack on, than I could with heavy hiking boots and a forty-pound pack. That isn't all, though. Going light also means more comfort, more freedom and even more safety.Disadvantages Of Traditional BackpackingLess freedom. It isn't easy to take a side trip up that hill, just to see what's there. Do it without your pack, and you hav
When the word came to me regarding being holy because God was holy, it dawned on me that because God said it, I could be it. Notice I didn't say do it. Holiness is not about doing it. It's about being what God intended us to be. Oh yeah, there are some changes we make in our lives as referred to in 1: Peter 1:13 & 14. But the being part comes from God. It's like nobody can be you but you. You don't have to try to be you, you just are. So when it comes to being holy, we are
Everything about your new home is absolutely perfect. Everything, that is, except for your hillside lot. Try as you might, you have not come up with a workable plan for hillside landscaping, so you’ve decide to call in a professional landscaper and team up to put together some hillside landscaping ideas.Effective hillside landscaping ideas will take into account, above all else, the slope of the hillside. A hill with a gradual slope presents a much easier landscaping challenge than one with a considerabl
As we studied this week, what was it that stood out to you the most?
I'll do a brief review of what the message was about.
There were two questions posed to the congregation.
Here they are:
1. How was the soul purified according to Peter's writing in 1 Peter?
Here's a hint. Refer back to verse 13-14 in 1 Peter 1
Describe the six components Peter referred to regarding how the soul is purified.
2. Regarding obeying the truth, what was the truth that was obeyed?
Here's a hint. Refer back to verse 15 & 16 in 1 Peter 1
Describe the command of the Lord regarding the truth Peter quoted in verse 16.
Peter writes about two basic subjects in 1 Peter.
The first was the salvation of the believer
The second was the holiness of the believer
As many of us first received Christ as our savior, we saw many things happen in our lives that were signs to us that God was truly in our lives.
Ask yourself this question. As I experienced the signs the Lord showed me as a new believer, did I ever seek for the sign of living holy?
Chances are most of us didn't. Of course there always exceptions.
When I first came to Christ, my focus was on living a better life as it pertained to the things of the natural. My thoughts were that God came into my life to help me "get over in the world." The thought never crossed my mind that He had a bigger purpose that me "getting over in the world."
When I became aware of holiness, it didn't come to me as one of those other signs I had grown to expect from God. It was more about crossing over to a place where I began to walk by faith and not by what I saw. Holiness was one of those things I couldn't see and it was something that rose from deep within my heart. It was a conviction I felt to live for God without expecting the things He could provide but rather to live for Him for who He was.

It's easy to break agreements.

Among children of school age there is a limited group which can not be taught by a general, common program; this group includes children with various learning disabilities. These disabilities can concern inability to read, problems in math reasoning, difficulties with syntax, some visual and audio difficulties.These children cannot follow properly the regular school program because of their learning disabilities but they can profit by a restrict

Here, David Letterman style, are what I consider to be the Top 10 most common mistakes presenters make when organizing and preparing their content:10) Not setting the stage.An introduction should be more than just "Hello. Today we'll be discussing _____." If you just jump into the content without setting up the presentation, it can get you off to a jumpy, disjointed start. An introduction should give the audience a sense of who you are, what you're there to do, and what's in it for them to listen.at me "getting over in the world."

As I ministered this word, I drew close the the passage of scripture that mentions how "the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." (1 Corinthians 1:18)
Sometimes even as believers we have to realize our natrual minds may not receive what the word of God has to say about who we are and how we are to be. This is where it takes us walking by faith and not by sight to live according to the way the Lord has called us.
Think about this for a minute.
If we could understand what the word of God said when we lived in a un-regenerated state, why would we need to be born again?
It's time to move beyond expecting the signs and wonders and live by faith and be holy.
As new babes in Christ it's not a bad thing to know God exists in your life because of what He's done for you. Moving beyond that is to take the word of God seriously and know that "these signs will follow those who believe:" Jesus said, "In My name, they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." (Mark 16:17&18)
Where does maturity in Christ take us?
1. It takes to a new walk by faith and not by sight.
2. It takes us to being holy because our Lord is holy.
3. It takes us to signs now following us.
The question for us now is, how much have we matured since we've been born again?
