Tune and Prepare!

 Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it . And then he feels that perhaps there isn't. A. Milne: Winnie the Pooh · Recommended article  A.  · Recommended article  B.  ☆

I - II Az "Isten tudja, hogy emberből vagy" c. könyvből írta: Terry Virgo 'Az igazak útja olyan, mint a hajnal első ragyogása, amely egyre fényesebben ragyog a nap teljes világosságáig.' (Példabeszédek 4:18) Amikor először jövünk Krisztushoz, kilépünk a sötétségből, és csodálatos új világosságba merülünk. Míg korábban semmit sem tudtunk Istenről, hirtelen azt vesszük észre, hogy most már személyesen ismerhetjük Őt. De a fenti közmondás azt mondja, hogy ez a kezdeti tapasztalat csak az első fény. Isten terve mindannyiunkkal az, hogy a hajnal szinte feledésbe merül, amint továbblépünk a déli nap teljes dicsőségébe. Isten azt akarja, hogy átalakuljunk, miközben a dicsőség egyik fokáról a másikra lépünk. Amit Dávid felfedezett, és amit mi is meg fogunk tanulni, az, hogy az út nem feltétlenül zökkenőmentes. Nem mindig szelíd, egyenletes úton haladunk Istenben mindig felfelé. A táj gyakran inkább hasonlít egy hegyvonulathoz, és az út nehéz és megerőltető l...

I - II from the book: "God Knows You’re Human" by Terry Virgo ‘The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.’ (Proverbs 4:18) When we first come to Christ, we emerge from darkness and are plunged into a wonderful new light. Whereas we once knew nothing about God, we suddenly find that now we can know Him personally. But the proverb given above says that this initial experience is just the first light. God’s plan for each of us is that the dawn will be almost forgotten as we move on into the full glory of midday. God wants us to be transformed as we move from one degree of glory to another. What David came to discover, and what we will learn, is that the journey is not necessarily smooth. We do not always travel on a gentle, even path, ever upward in God. The landscape often more closely resembles a mountain range, and the trek can be difficult and demanding. David seemed to burst onto the...

This article is a reference to the book Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) by English author A. A. Milne (1882–1956), in which the characters Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet follow their own tracks in the snow, believing them to be the tracks of the imaginary “Woozle”. The phenomenon whereby frequent citation of earlier publications leads to a mistaken public belief in something for which there is no evidence, giving rise to an urban myth. Prior to the introduction of the specific term "Woozle effect", the underlying research phenomenon (and connection to the Woozle) dates back over 60 years.  According to Donald G. Dutton , a "Woozle effect", or a "Woozle", occurs when frequent citation of previous publications that lack evidence misleads individuals, groups and the public into thinking or believing there is evidence, and non-facts become urban myths and factoids. The creation of woozles is often linked to the changing of language from qualified ("it may...

­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. Read the You’re reading an excerpt from this full article here
