Tune and Prepare!

This is probably the most difficult dilemma for pastors and church leaders: how to balance nurturing church members with the desire to save people around us. To this day, there is no consensus on this issue, as communities are made up of people from many different backgrounds, countless characters work together, and average age is also an important factor in activity levels. Below, I summarize some of the opinions from fruitful servants, along with references to detailed articles. The Church and Evangelism Desiring God 2009 Conference for Pastors Commending Christ - Message by Mark Dever This article emphasizes developing a culture of evangelism within the church while building up believers, noting that the church calendar should be kept simple so members aren't clogged with church responsibilities and can instead live the Christian life with their families and non-Christian friends Two things we pastors must teach on evangeli...

We are called by God out of the life of principle, {the Mosaic Law} to a personally disciplined and Heaven - supported life in Spirit and grace – which is a life-long learning progress. This closeness is a gift. Not by works, so that no one can boast. This is our base, our kick-start. And our direction too. It is written in the Prophets: “And they will all be taught by God.” (Is 54:13) Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father comes to Me.. John 6:45 you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you have knowledge.. 1Jn 2:20; ..you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift — not from works, so that no one can boast. Eph 2:8-9 The whole article: "The Letter Kills" is here

I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies 18:3 Since the Mighty Holy Spirit of God is working around - by prayer by the father's grace & will - the great fight is quite different from the OT type situation. God's glory is fearful and unbearable for the Evil one. We represent His glory - we, believers are the fruits, results of His glory as we stand: justified by the work of the blood of the lamb. Our glorious, intimate heritage is incomparable to the old, religious conditional system we can see in the Holy & devoted tasks of the Levitical priesthood. Our heritage comes from the Ultimate High Priest of Gd Most High. Our priesthood works in righteousness. It has infinite power-background for deliverance, for caring, for the representation of glory in Christ, by the glory of God. Let us see some examples: For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed i...

We cannot live a full and holy life apart from God. We were created to live and work with Him in community. If we accepted the propitiation we have done with the old life. We are new citizens, new breed, we have new ID in the Holy family. Unlike Adam and his heritage, we are not in the domain of the evil one. Jesus took of the price of our Sin status — once and for all. But due to humanity's dark past, we are still prone to continue making mistakes, living insensitively, falling, and occasionally committing harsh sins. However, Jesus, the faithful High Priest, intercedes for us from the very moment of our first repentance with His holy blood. We repent, confess our sins, and are cleansed. Reset . Everything is back to the original state. Adam's dark legacy and his descendant has passed away. I repeat: salvation is Christ's work, but sanctification is a process and a joint action with God. His Holy Spirit and His Holy Son will work in the life of the believer. ...

Istentől távol nem élhetünk teljes és szent életet. Úgy lettünk teremtve hogy Vele éljünk és dolgozzunk egy közösségben. Ha elfogadtuk a megváltást, akkor szakítottunk a régi életünkkel. Új polgárok vagyunk, új faj, új identitásunk van a Szent családban. Ádámmal és örökségével ellentétben nem a gonosz hatalmában vagyunk. Jézus egyszer és mindenkorra megfizette bűneink árát. Azonban az emberiség sötét múltja miatt még mindig hajlamosak vagyunk hibákat elkövetni, érzéketlenül élni, elbukni, és időnként súlyos bűnöket elkövetni. De Jézus, a hűséges Főpap, már az első bűnbánatunk pillanatától kezdve közbenjár értünk szent vérével. Bűnbánatot tartunk, meggyónjuk bűneinket, és megtisztulunk. Reset . Minden vissza állt az eredeti állásba. Ádám öröksége, annak az életnek sötét "küldetése" és leszármazotta eltűntek. Ismétlem: az üdvösség Krisztus műve, de a megszentelődés egy folyamat és közös cselekvés Istennel. Szentlelke /Szelleme és Szent Fia a hívő életében fog munkál...
