...PURPOSEFUL CHRISTIAN LIFE Definition: Purposeful: having a useful purpose; acting with a clear aim and with determination. Christian Life: showing the qualities that are thought of as typical of a Christian, Christ like.. Some people say that we are just evolutionary result of the survival of the fittest Others think of reincarnation Most of our lives, we have been searching for a purpose for our lives, one that has a deeper meaning than just the basic action of existing on this planet. We felt that our lives were meant for something; and something meaningful and worthwhile that would give us a true reason to live. We searched for this purpose in things like relationships, a career, a job, a hobby, in school, and in many more things, only to find disappointment at every turn; because though these things could preoccupy us for a moment, they would ultimately fail at fulfilling our spiritual desire for a meaningful life. Then we find God, and we feel that we see our purpose clearly. We are full of excitement and hopeful to see what God will do with our lives. The overwhelming joy and excitement that drives us motivates us to share the good news with everyone around us, telling them of the great purpose that God has in store for our lives. We devote ourselves to learning more, growing more, and doing more for God. We surround ourselves with more and more people who call themselves Christians to glean as much as we can from them, astounded at the miraculous experiences...

...What is patriotism? Patriotism is more than just wearing a red t-shirt and blue jeans on the fourth of July with the occasional fireworks in the evening. And it is way more than routing Michal Phelps to the gold. Calling yourself a patriot and living like one are two completely different things. The standard dictionary definition reads patriotism as “love of one's country.” This captures the root meaning of the term in ordinary use, but it just might be thought of too lightly and in need of a little more elaborating. True patriotism comes through showing loyalty to your country, treating others with respect, and knowing what to or what not to sacrifice. Patriotism is showing loyalty, and when you are loyal to your country, you love your country. It does not have to mean that you are only a patriot if you are wearing a camouflage cargo uniform and calling Afghanistan your home for a year or two. And it certainly does not mean that you shout “amen” after the President is finished with his speech. To be a patriot, you stand with what your country was built on and defend yourself and others on the truth that was handed down by our forefathers that lead your nation to what it is now and to what is expected to last for generations to come. Patriotism is respect, not only for your country, but to others as well. There is nothing more admirable than showing yourself as a respectable citizen by honoring the traditions and cultures of other people of foreign descent. A patriot...

...In this paper, I will be discussing some of the miracles Jesus performed and the true meaning behind them. When it comes to Jesus and his miracles , there are some miracles that stood out to me. All of Jesus miracles were amazing, but in this paper, I will only be discussing some of the main miracles that Jesus did. The first miracle Jesus ever did was called “Marriage at Cana.” This miracle was about how Jesus turns water into wine. Jesus and his mother w invited to a wedding and partly through the wedding the wine runs out. Mary ask Jesus to help so that’s when Jesus ordered the servants to fill containers with water and to draw out some. He told the servants to take it to the chief steward waiter. The Steward after tasting it, and not knowing where it came from remarked to the bridegroom that he had departed from the...

...Words of Encouragement Scripture: Revelation 1:9 Topic: Embracing Your Patmos When we look at the natural Island of Patmos, it is seen that: * The island was used by the Roman government to imprison political and religious prisoners * Matter of fact, the Roman government acted in the capacity of the anti-Christ concerning the preaching of the Gospel (they hated any/everything about Jesus) * The island of Patmos was located in the Mediterranean Sea; practically in the middle of no where * The island of Patmos was sterile in nature; meaning it was unable to produce; no seed, fruit, grass or plants grew on the Island of Patmos * The island’s terrain was rocky, barren and desolate * The island was a place of stagnation; nothing flowing or moving; the island sat still as that of pond water * The word Patmos means “my killing” or a place of killing; this was a place where people felt death naturally, spiritually and mentally * The Apostle John was persecuted and sent to the island of Patmos as punishment because he refused to be quiet when it came to preaching, teaching and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ (he was truly a trumpet in Zion sounding the alarm about Jesus) * But in the midst of Patmos (barrenness, desolation and in the middle of nowhere), the...

...approaching.” And we ask the Lord to keep us which takes us to the request of preservation in the 16th Division of Psalms, verses 1-11. 1 Preserve me O God; for in thee do I put my trust. Preserve is a protection from all hurt, harm, and danger that only The Good Shepherd can do! 2O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee: 3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. “My goodness extendeth not to thee:” David the psalmist is saying here that there is no meaning to life and no personal happiness without the Lord’s presence. You may think you there’s meaning to life and happiness but there will come a time that you will find a void or emptiness that cannot be fulfilled any other way but by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Man has no goodness to extend to God. It’s only God’s goodness that is extended to us, when we as true disciples of Christ decide to follow Him. 4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. False gods are everywhere today. Satan worshippers actually drink blood as part of their ceremony. The drinking of blood is absolutely forbidden by God. Acts 21:25 says “As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from...

...LESSON OBJECTIVE: Topics: The Importance of prayer in their daily lives. AS KIDS ARRIVE (15mins) Display the following items on a table: telephone, newspaper, letters & envelopes, a road map and a radio. As the children arrive, give them a sheet of paper and ask them to list what they think the items on the table have in common. Just before class starts let the kids know that all the things displayed on the table are used to communicate with each other. Today our lesson is about another way we communicate. More specifically, it is about how we communicate with God. OPENING UP: Invite them to pray with you and say: “ Dear God, we come before you and give thanks for everything we have. We ask that you continue to bless us. Amen.” ACTIVITY: (6 mins) "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" Jeremiah 29:13Write the verse on the board.

...My Reformation for the Church in 2002 By Sally Smith There are several problems in the church that I can see right now. The biggest problem I see is that most Christians have made being a Christian a religious act. You have to do this and you can’t do that and if you don’t you will go to hell. We have made being a Christian long and labor some. Few church members understand the concept of grace. They have forgotten that Jesus just wants be our friend. That being a Christian is not following a bunch of rules but having a relationship with Jesus. The second problem I see is that most seminaries don’t and refuse to ordain women and very few churches have ordained women elders and deacons. Most churches have started doing this practice but the Adventist church hasn’t. During the early church the women carried out the gospel. Even now women make up the majority of the church offices. Most Sabbath school teachers are women. Women are involved with music and in the fellowshipping of the church. If they are involved with so much why couldn’t they choose to be the leader of the church? Here are a few verses to prove my point: In Joel 2:28,29 it says, “After this I will pour out my Spirit on everyone without regard to office or function. You sons and daughters will prophecy; your old men will dream dreams and your young men will see visions. I will pour out my Spirit on my servants, both men and women.” And this is mentioned again in Acts 2:17, 18. In Acts...

I am a doer of the Word of God and a channel for His blessings. If God be for me, who can be against me? I am blessed coming in and I am blessed Going out. My enemies are fleeing before me. God has commanded His blessing on my storehouses. He has opened His Good treasures and I shall lend and not borrow. I am the head and not the tail. He has given me power to make wealth. I dwell in the secret place I have His protection and provision. God is my refuge, my fortress I am not afraid of the snare of the fowler. No Evil shall befall me and no plague shall come nigh My dwelling. God has given his angels Charge over me and they are bearing me up in their hands lest I dash my foot against a stone, as declared in Psalms 91. I Peter 2:9 establishes I am a chosen generation, A royal priesthood, a holy nation. I am a peculiar person called out of darkness Into His marvelous light. I Peter 2:24 states, I have been healed by the stripes of Jesus. Cancer, sugar diabetes, heart disease, sickness, Afflictions, infections, or any other disease cannot enter my body.

On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His servants will serve him. 4 They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. John and the Angel 6 The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent His angel to show His servants the things that must soon take place.” 7 “Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.” 8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!” 10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near. 11 Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to...

...their own way but something that can be seen in all of them is how they are able to fight against the norms of society without fear of being outcasts or being killed in action. Minerva mirabal strongly displays courage in her family which affected her sisters in a positive or negative way depending on one's outlook. Her bravery motivated her sisters to stand up for what they believe and to not be so easily shot down by everyone else’s view on them. Patria Mirabal derives a lot of her courage through her faith which does help her greatly throughout the Time of the Butterflies. During the revolution bearing Raulito she states “But then again, here in that little room was the same Patria Mercedes, who wouldn’t have hurt a butterfly shouting, ‘Amen to the revolution’” (164). This statement is a turning point for Patria because it indicates the moment where she decides she is not going to be stand behind the protection of her family and friends, rather she will stand up for her beliefs fight for her loved ones. When she says this, she is relating herself to the old Patria who was meek and kind but then...

...silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; They have ears, but they do not hear; Nor is there any breath in their mouths. Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them. Idols: man-made, objects and images, unable to move, see, or speak. And they are not just pictures or artwork, with Jesus on a Crucifix, or a painting of the Last Supper. They can be Sunday NFL football, a spouse, a profession, a celebrity, even an event. With that said, I understand what Packer notes to their being a danger in idols. I am not necessarily sure, however, whether I agree or disagree with the point he is conveying. Packer notes in Chapter 4, The Only True God, on page 44, “that statues and pictures of the One whom we worship are not to be used as an aid to worshipping Him.” That is understood. I am at fault myself for this sin, driving around, looking at this world and the heavens, and searching for displays of God’s glory, at one point even looking at telephone poles to see the formation of a cross. Just recently, I would be moved and reminded of Jesus, in a sense, trying to refocus myself on Him instead of the world and the issues ongoing in my life. Reading this brought serious conviction to that thought-process, showing me that I was worshipping the created rather than the Creator. I was trying to put skin to my Lord, envisioning Him in what was around me. Wrong. Sin. Yet, is Packer...

...School Prayer The issue of school prayer has invoked great controversy in our society. Some people feel that school prayer should be brought back into schools and practiced as part of the education process. The Supreme Court has continually denied allowing prayer to seep into the public school systems. Through years of controversy, many states started to adopt the “moment of silence” which was an attempt to bring back prayer in our schools. However, the school officials cannot suggest or have the kids pray, even though its true aim is clear, to encourage students to pray. Because of the “moment of silence,” there has finally been a neutral act to encourage prayer. There is a one sided claim that a mandated moment of silence in public classrooms amounts to an unconstitutional attempt to establish religion. The “moment of silence” is Constitutional, and a great way to encourage prayer for our students. Rufus Goodwin stated, “Praying, like poetry, is an activity that activates the human being.” In other words, prayer is a personal experience and intimate connection with our Father. People pray for several reasons such as personal benefit or for the sake of others. Prayers can consist of requesting guidance and assistance, confessing sins, or to express one’s thoughts and emotions (Goodwin R.). Why wouldn’t this intimate act with our Creator be an important part of the student’s day? Moments of silence often last one minute, but other amounts of time may be chosen. Sometimes...

...Justification by Faith Galatians 2: This brings us to the doctrinal section of this marvelous epistle, which deals with justification by faith. In this section Paul shows his perspective as a Jew. We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles [Gal. 2:15]. The Jew in that day looked upon the Gentile as a sinner. In fact, Gentile and sinner were synonymous terms. Therefore, the rebuke that Paul gave shows the folly of lawkeeping -- how really foolish it is to try to be good enough to go to heaven, and how ridiculous to consider others to be sinners when you keep failing at your own lawkeeping. Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified [Gal. 2:16]. This is a clear-cut and simple statement of justification by faith. Believe me, the legalist has trouble with this verse. This verse will upset every legal system there is today. To say that you have to add anything to faith in Christ absolutely mutilates the gospel. Notice what Paul says here. If a Jew had to leave the Law behind -- that is, forsake it -- in order to be justified by faith, Paul's question is, "Why should the Gentile be brought under the Law?" That was the great argument at the council of Jerusalem in Acts 15; "Should the Gentile be brought under the Law?" Thank...
