Spurgeon’s Advice for Leaders

-

­Spurgeon had not gone to college, and felt the advantage of being self-taught ‘on the job’, as it were, rather than in a classroom. And so, rather than recommend these young men to an existing school, he began an in-house ‘Pastor’s College’ in Southwark, just south of the River Thames.

Spurgeon had diligently made up for his own lack of formal theological education by voraciously reading warm-hearted, passionate and fruitful writers of previous generations. In fact it is evident that his originality wasn’t suppressed or moulded into a traditional way of doing things.

Kimutatni az Atyát

"A megtestesülés célja" c. sorozatból Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, D. D., Pastor of Westminster Chapel, London, England. Az Újszövetség céljainak négyszeres kijelentése van: Célja van ugyanis · Az Atya kinyilatkoztatásának · A bűn megszüntetésének ; · Az ördög munkái elpusztításának ; · Valamint az a végső cél, hogy Krisztus újabb eljövetele által létre jöjjön Isten Királysága a világban. Krisztus összeütközésbe került mindazzal, ami (a földön) ellentétes volt Isten szándékaival az egyéni, társadalmi, nemzeti és fajokat érintő életben. Bizonyos értelemben, amikor ezt kimondtuk, az Ő eljövetelének teljes értelmét deklaráltuk. Az Atyáról szóló kinyilatkoztatása e célok felé irányult. Ennek a folyamatnak a része volt a bűn félre tevése, második eljövetele pedig az ördög összes munkájának teljes és végleges megdöntésére szolgál. Kimutatni az Atyát Senki sohasem látta Istent, az egyszülött Isten, aki az Atya kebelén van, ő jelentette őt ki. Jn. 1:1...

The " Influential " series - Part One From the first days of his earthly ministry, Jesus proclaimed the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. More precisely, he announced that his Kingdom had arrived. It has many manifestations in the invisible and visible world. The dynamic of the Kingdom basically: the life, ability and power of the King: The God Almighty . The better we understand His character and abilities, the better we represent his Kingdom in the visible world. The apostolic teaching says: By faith we understand that the universe* was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. Heb 11:3 {ESV} *Lit. “we understand that the ages of the world (aions) were created by the word of God, so that out of the invisible came the visible.” Here is an important connection between aion and the Word of God The Holman translation is more specific: By faith we understand that the universe...

Fake!

Pre We have left 2020 behind us. Everyone has probably seen and heard fake and untrue news on TV, on the internet or from people they know in the immediate vicinity. The time has come when not only images but also video material can be created almost completely altering the original information or character. Different words than the original are put into people's mouths in the media, different gestures are made, small differences, big differences, not conveying quite the same original thinking. Not quite the same & almost the original. This is the alchemy of the liar. Since the Scriptures are the Word of the Everlasting God, it is not surprising that they prophetically foretell the events that are to come. Therefore, we can anticipate that the lies of the evil one will spread in many new areas and in new ways. John point to this in the Revelations: A mouth was given to him to speak boasts* and blasphemies. He was also given authority to act.. ...
