1 | Call from God! | Bible general Archive 4 | strts5 | 217394 | ||
You are Mine. You are not your own. With a great price I have purchased you for Myself. I am not dismayed that you do not comprehend, but I say that if you will listen to Me, I will reveal to you more fully so that you may know more clearly how vital you are to My purpose. There is work to be done, and I need you as a vessel through which to work. Not a vassal, but a vessel. I want to do a beautiful work. I need an individual to use who is not only available and suitable, but who loves Me in such a way as to enhance My creation. I desire not the kind of loyalty a soldier gives to his country, but a dedicated devotion of the type of love a mother feels toward her unborn child. There will be inconveniences to be borne, self-pleasing to be laid aside, sacrifices and pain-but what a blessed reward I have in store! Yes, in store for you, if you are able to let Me use you the way I desire. You are not unworthy; you are not unprepared. You have no reason to hold back unless your love for Me is too small. If this is the only hindrance, draw closer to Me, and I will pour My love out upon you so that your affection for Me may be deepened and perfected. Lo, I wait for you. Come to Me.

2 | talk with lord | Prov 3:5 | strts5 | 215316 | ||
Rajeeb, I have found this to be one of the most difficult things to understand and accomplish. The bible has some good instruction on this. I'll list a couple of verses that I think will help. The first says God put specific people in the church to help you with this and to guide you until you learn to do it for yourself. The second verse says to acknowledge Him in Everything, trust Him in Everything and He will direct your path. Ephesians 4:10-13(New International Version) 10He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) 11It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Proverbs 3:5-6 (Amplified Bible) 5Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. 6In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. Hearing from God and obeying is something we learn that takes a lifetime, I'm still not there yet, but I'm working on it! In Him, Mike |

4 | Resurrection Day, not easter! | Exodus | strts5 | 215268 | ||
Hi all, Great info from everyone! Disclaimer: I do have a link to add, now please do not think I am endorsing his ministry, I am not, I only listen to him for some of his Jewish historical information. This is for information only and please let me know any historical errors he makes. Anything sounds factual until you have the truth! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v (add equals here and take out spaces) bLlABElJPk-E I do believe many of the practices of Easter here in America ( I don't know how it is celebrated elsewhere)do have their origins in pagan religion, however the word, as I have read here sounds like it does not. Thanks, Mike |

5 | Local Church ministry | 1 Cor 9:22 | strts5 | 215216 | ||
Azure, Not quite sure this is what your looking for. I was recently in the mall and walked past a hip clothing company. I'm over 30 but like to dress like I'm 20 :(, Anyway I barely noticed at first, but it was all Christian clothing! There were lots of people inside, and they were looking at the stuff. Later found out an old friend manages the place and it is privately owned by Christians. Now I don't have a scriptural reference here, but I think these things are great, but I think they are better operated privately rather than as an official church ministry. I believe it would carry too much baggage with it and, for the very reasons you listed detract from the Gospel become more about managing the business. I have seen very large churches have coffee shops at the church. Here the space is essentially free, the only costs are coffee and other minor necessities. All the workers volunteer, and any profits go different ministries. All in all its a tough call, I will just add this. My family owned and I managed a small chain restaurant, it is a lot of work! My thought is, keep these sorts of things private, but I have no scripture references for you, hope that helps. Mike |
