This document discusses various ways that technology can be used in ministry contexts. It provides examples of using email, Facebook, blogs, podcasts, video, and other technologies for communication, teaching, worship, small group discussion, missions work, and staying connected with people. The overall message is that new technologies allow the gospel message to be shared in new ways and adapted to different audiences.
The document discusses how Christians should utilize various technologies, such as email, Facebook, audio books, DVDs, blogs, texting, websites, podcasts, Google, videos, smartphones, and apps to spread the gospel message and help people engage with scripture. It emphasizes adapting to new methods and "pouring the gospel into new wineskins" to reach people in today's world.
The document provides an overview of the emergent church movement, its key figures and beliefs. It discusses that emergents seek to appeal to postmodern culture by taking a more open approach to biblical doctrines like the virgin birth, hell, and substitutionary atonement. However, critics argue that compromising essential Christian doctrines poses issues and that the emergent church misunderstands the role of doctrine in the faith.
The document contains summaries of several Bible passages about purpose from the Life Application Bible. It discusses how the Israelites followed God's guidance in their travels, and how God has a purpose for believers in both their present circumstances and spiritual journeys. It suggests believers should act when opportunities arise to help others, as Esther and Mordecai did, and that suffering does not negate life's ultimate purpose of honoring God. The document also examines how religious leaders lost sight of their purpose to turn people toward God by rejecting Jesus, and affirms God's eternal love and sovereignty over believers' destinies.
The document discusses the spiritual gifts mentioned in the Bible. It defines spiritual gifts as supernatural abilities given by the Holy Spirit to build up the church. The gifts are divided for different uses but given at the discretion of the Spirit. While all believers have fruit of the Spirit, not all have the same gifts. The document examines several specific gifts in detail, exploring how they were exercised in the early church and whether they continue today. It encourages believers to discern their gifts and use them to edify others.

My attempt to explain how the metaphysics of the universe works using speculative philosophy and physics. I use the philosophy of idealism, consciousness primary, along with support from modern physicists who support this argument. I propose that the basis of the universe is non-dual monistic idealism. Using the Buddhist metaphysics of an unconditioned basis of being (infinite space-time & potential) we see how monistic idealism plays out in the non-random rules, structure, and repeating patterns of a manifested & conditioned universe. I also propose that the unconditioned basis-of-being is the G旦del "X" (unrecognized complexity) factor that explains the existence of the manifested conditioned universe per his ontological proof. Idealism can also explain the structural theodicy and suffering of the manifested universe, it is not a problem of evil but of ruthlessness for a purpose. Idealism also refutes a personal conditioned theistic God as Absolute or Ultimate, but does not refute (allows) spiritual power and meaning in the world. I include my Neoplatonic-like cosmological proof of God as the unconditioned basis of being, a terminal ontological ground-state (as brute fact), as being a non-theistic source of the universe. It is a long pptx, but it is a big subject.

AshtSaga - Part 1 (A book by Hrishitva Patel)Hrishitva patel
油
An ancient legend prophecy states that with the revival of the Asura God, Kalyuga would mark the end of the world as we know of today. The prophecy further says that if the decedents of the eight individuals who sealed the Asura Kalyuga, in the era of Satyuga were to reunite, then these eight would be able to defeat Kalyuga and stop the world from ending. Now, its the job of the young prince of Itrahd, Arjuna, to find all these eight based on his information. He is clueless as the ancestors of the eight decendents who used to work in his forefathers court were in Satyuga, and it has been millions of years since then. Although it doesnt go as smoothly as he had planned, he manages to stumble upon a list of distinct individuals left to him as an heirloom by his father, Kanishka. This book focuses on ten of these individuals mentioned in the list. Set on the planet Terra, where the tectonic plates are yet to drift and everyone coexists within a single continent, AshtaSaga follows the journey of a prince Arjuna. He belongs to the royal lineage, and his destiny cannot be averted. No matter how disciplined he is in offering water from a brass lota accompanied by the pradakshinas around the Peepal tree to please his purwajas. Bearing this heavy responsibility because of his bloodline and how everything unfolds is a burden the royalty cannot share since the time of Satyuga. A fast approaching end to the seemingly everlasting era of Kalyuga shackles the prince and hastens his search. Will he be able to stop the world from ending? Will the utopia become a reality, or will it melt into eternal darkness?

Free from prison mean have a freedom and eternal lifeTImothy leonard

Shalom everyone, i m sharing the word of god with you all
Spiritual Freedom: Spiritually, being "free from prison" refers to liberation from the bondage of sin. The Bible describes sin as a form of captivity that can imprison the soul. Jesus' sacrifice is seen as the key to unlocking this prison, offering forgiveness, healing, and freedom.
Isaiah 61:1 (NIV): "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners."
John 8:36 (NIV): "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
Todays message completes the final third of Peters sermon at Pentecost. We will discuss the meaning of repentance, take an important side journey into the non-negotiables of our Christian faith, talk about where and how baptism fits into our faith, and celebrate the inauguration of the Church Age as the Holy Spirit makes His grand entrance!
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain. 2 Samuel 23:3-4 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

In Acts 2:22-36 Peter concludes his sermon on Pentecost Sunday. This is the sermon that launched the Church. We find that the Peter who once shrank back and even denied Jesus is now confident, bold and impassioned. Peter lays out three proofs of Jesus Good News, the Gospel. He does so through citing eyewitness testimony of the resurrection and ascension of Jesus and by citing prophetic texts that were fulfilled by Jesus. He shows us that the Gospel of Jesus is a proven fact!
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:1-3
Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not the sorrows of thy mother. Remember that thou wast begotten of them; and how canst thou recompense them the things that they have done for thee? Sirach 7:27-28
