awesome God before His people. Yet, this ministry is challenging and difficult. Disappointments and challenges will come for the reason, you are ministering to people and people will be people. I can remember the words spoken many years ago to the new Anglican Archbishop of the West Indies by Dr. Kurtwright Davis who said, “Do not be dismayed when your hand is bitten by the same mouth that it feeds or when you are misrepresented and…
In the bible Jesus says to his disciple’s in Mark 16:15 “and he said to them, go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature”. What was Jesus saying and why is this verse in the bible taken so literally? In the world today we call it evangelism and many people are participating. The world has had great evangelists in its time such as billy graham who have made known what evangelism really means but people have their own views on what evangelism is depending on their own beliefs…
“Yahweh,” replied the voice in the cave when Moses asked what name the God of the Israelites should be known by, “I am who am” (New Revised Standard Version, Exodus 3:14). Man received this answer to his question of God’s identity more than two millennia ago, but has never been satisfied by it. Instead, humanity has never ceased in pursuing greater knowledge of the divine. Resulting in part from the inherent beauty of this unanswerable question, the holy longing to know God has served as the…
Justification is peace with God. As our natural bodies war against all that is holy, God allowed us to be made new by the revelation of His great love and grace for us. Grace to accept his love and to accept his power in our life. A life rooted in love triumphs over sin and death, by Christ. And, as we come into greater revelation of Christ, by faith, we begin to…
In fact, most individuals, even non-Christians, are familiar with this teaching of scripture, but Guthrie introduces a necessary depth to this truth. God created humans "male and female" (Genesis 1:27), which is still nothing new, but I had never before considered the implications of this specification. Unorthodox views have attributed this distinction to the possibility of God being male, female or characteristic of both, but according to orthodox belief (as defined by Guthrie)…
never took responsibility for their subordinates by giving them the power to perform. Through these powers and responsibilities they lead immortalized his achievements across a book that added old lessons of the Old Testament with the title of the New Testament, the Gospel of Jesus. Shewed no power to influence people and make them follow you or accept your ideas and experience: only influenced people with the truth hidden in their own…
efficiently and quickly. I am the new member in this team, my position title is ‘Team Leader of Distribution and Warehousing’. It is a front line management position. There are 12 team members, from different backgrounds and with differing levels of expertise. Some of them have worked for a couple years in the division and other are relatively new. Before transferred to my division, they some have worked in another department. I am wondering how to integrate new member onto an existing team? The…
The Asian Pacific culture in America covers a large demographic and includes many different ethnic groups. The ethnic groups that are included with the Asian Pacific culture include Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Hmong, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, Taiwanese, and Vietnamese (Asian Nation, n.d.). As of 2008 the Asian Pacific culture in America made up about 5% of the population, but is still one of the fastest growing ethnic…
common concern arise regarding the stress levels of people in our country, and at the onset I initially placed a lot of responsibility on things such as technology, employers, and the demands of society. Yet, as I pondered this issue, and as more news reports and articles populated about people being their own contributor to stress, I started scrutinizing not only my own life, but also observing others. Our culture has seemed to breed the idea that humans are to glorify status, stuff, and…
his creation. Rather than destroy it all and start again, He made a way for the creation to tell others about Himself. All through the Bible, there are countless stories of people telling of the good news of God and His Son. In the Old Testament, the prophets tell of the King’s coming and in the New Testament, we hear of people telling what Christ has done for us. Very early in the Old Testament we see that God had his hand in the area of missions. Missions is not just an idea that man thought…
