commands given to go into the world, to leave the place of comfort in the care of the good news of the kingdom of God to the people that are not a part of the kingdom at this present time. He gave the specific order; that orders were to teach and to baptize in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. This command came with the promise that God will be with them even with all time has passed. Blanching the duties between meeting the needs of the local church and playing an active role…

Core values that influence making decisions My first core value is that what I create must align with scripture. Scripture is infallible in the sense that its authority and power come from the Holy Spirit who is God. Because it is inspired by the spirit is lets the reader become more like God by knowing him. Further, scripture is completely true because it was inspired by God who cannot and will not lie. Thus, programs that are based on scripture expose others the only full truth that exists…

and Hopeful along their journey, but left quickly thereafter, when he discovered there was no profit in traveling with them. By-Ends means a selfish motive, which is exactly what Mr. By-Ends did. Mr. By-Ends represents a person who plays church in order to gain social, financial, or physical prosperity, by pretending to serve God. This type of person can be one of the most detrimental people one can encounter, because many times one does not recognize this characteristic in a person until…

Today we woke up early to go sing at the Middle School in Neustiff. We performed in a gym but they had set it up nicely in order to accommodate us. We got a much better reaction from the kids. As I mentioned in my last note, we had noticed that this headmaster was much more welcoming then the last one, so that was reflected with the kids too. After we preformed our concert I was able to talk with a teacher who said that they were never expecting us to preform so well. This was very nice to hear.…

Humans are saved through God’s grace, and nothing we can do can earn it. For Augustine, grace is God’s love and favor towards human beings. It was visible through Jesus Christ, and is now remaining in the church through the holy spirit. While he was trying to understand God, he realized that “God is beyond the range of the human mind” . Augustine says that grace is given to all, it is not something that can be earned. While he believes that we have freewill and are responsible for our actions,…

for you. What is this likeness? It is to be like Him in His state of existence. God is holy and those who want to live with Him must also be holy. We must have the spiritual nature of God so that we attract His unlimited power over our lives. It is for this reason that we have been saved through the cross of Calvary. When we were saved through the blood of the Lamb, we received the spiritual nature of God. The Holy Spirit was released to come and dwell with us. We are still in our human bodies,…

In Galatians 5:16, emphasizing the importance living a holy lifestyle not one that seeks immediate gratification of the human desires.

presence of God who is going to bring about change in our lives. They help us connect better with God and listen to His Word to follow Him more deeply. They help us to be docile to the Holy Spirit and help us finally to shape the character of Christ in us in a unique way. Since we were not created by molds, the Holy Spirit will guide us to discover the disciplines we need most, to grow in that communion and personal intimacy with the Father. The disciplines that I practice are prayer, reading…

for a few weeks. Children have a pure heart and they believe in God without doubt. As they are growing up in a Christian environment, they can protect themselves from falling into sin. 2 Timothy 3:14-17 said that “how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly…

John Wesley spent the greater portion of his life developing an ordo salutis, or order of salvation. While some aspects of his theory of salvation were similar to that of other major denominations of his day (i.e., Lutheran, Catholic), Wesley’s order of salvation was unique. Where most soteriology almost ignored the third person of the Trinity, much of Wesley’s salvation theory and practice emphasized the Holy Spirit. Another unique aspect was the progression a person would take through each…
