The Good Shepherd — Fight & Divine Intervention

-
My name is Dr. Ken Bailey. It was my privilege to teach New Testament for almost 40 years across the Middle East, mostly in Arabic, and the subject we have is a continuation of our series of studies on primary images for leadership in the New Testament. We looked first at servant, (...) and we have introduced the subject of the Good Shepherd.

coming soon..

Relationships between Conscience, Consciousness and Co-working

Suneidesis & Sunergos — God's Wisdom for every day “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Proverbs 4:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. See if there is any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the ancient way. Psalm 139:23-24 Pre Did you know that the words "conscience" and "co-working" share the same root in ancient Greek? That small discovery opened up something much bigger for me. What connects the inner voice of conscience with the outward dynamics of community life? This article explores a striking fractal pattern hidden within two Greek words — suneidesis (conscience) and synergía (synergy, co-working) — both rooted in the same prefix syn- , "together." One shaping us inwardly, the other connecting us outwardly. The dynamic between the two is surprisingly overlooked today. Man and woman were created to live in...

Pero antes de todo, y después de todo, oremos y supliquemos por un reavivamiento. Cuando Dios envía un reaviva­miento, puede hacer má...

Guilt or Throne? spiritual, mental hygiene, mutual need, purification, confidence, etc. This article is part of the "Vitalize" pack you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. Psalm 41:12 Dear saints and beloved! I recently visited a church which has a beautiful family life but suffers from a typical 21 century sickness. The guilt. Interestingly, leaders have told me that members are not as eager to come and get their lives back on track when they commit sins. They simply do not confess them openly. Since it is pastoral responsibility first - I really don't understand, why... The place we came from I believe that guilt is one of the most serious attacks on the humankind. People, nations can do "amazing" things to get rid of guilt. They walk thousands of miles, they squeeze themselves, they oppress themselves and unfortunately they oppress others just to see their own lives as super...
