The best way to view the Bible when you are reading it, is to realize you are having a conversation. The fact that He is speaking to you through those words is as real as if He were sitting beside you and the words were coming out of His mouth instead of from the pages.

However we view or handle - or possibly dismiss - The Word of God, we have to keep in mind Who we are viewing and handling and dismissing. John chapter one explains that God and His Word are one and the same. And He says He never changes. And He never has. We are warned not to add to it, not to take away from it, not to change it, not to neglect it - we are commanded to heed it, to study it, to abide in it… and we are encouraged to love it, and tremble at it.

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting” 2ndTimothy 1:10

“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:7

“And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.”1stCorinthians 2:13

“Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.” Psalm 119:89

“Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar.”Proverbs 30:5-6

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.” Isaiah 40:8

“He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.” Titus 1:9

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”2Timothy 3:16-17

“Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.” 2Timothy 4:2

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” James 1:17

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8

“You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you.” Deuteronomy 4:2

“Everything that I command you, you shall be careful to do. You shall not add to it or take from it.” Deuteronomy 12:32

“Repent at my rebuke - then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings. But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand, since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke, I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you - when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.” Proverbs 1:23-27

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.” 1 Samuel 15:23

CSMP Update #6, 6/7-6/14

The Struggle of missions is Real. I think over missions overall I have been having to battle against a lot of self reliance, my own frustrations at myself, and attentiveness in a group environment. Rather than chilling in the kitchen and doing dishes to get away from my other teammates, I need to not always be the first one that jumps up even it’s something as simple as prayer to serving, but just to quietly remind the group through quietly asking, “hey, can anyone help with with x,y or z?” is just as effective if not more effective as “YO! CAN SOMEONE DO THE DISHES?” With the help of a friend, I kind of realized I didn’t do the dishes, because I wanted to serve, but because the environment of missions has been quite overwhelming for me personally. Interacting with people although a genuine joy is quite challenging getting to know the other team members in a group environment, because it’s so loud sometimes. (Mealtimes, UYO etc)

Most of my friends and teammates, if I have not mentioned this before are Asian, so looking at their culture through my own, in my opinion they can be not only very subtle, but also very sensitive through the different avenues in the way that they communicate. It’s interesting that I am still learning something new from my friends, even after in some cases two or three years of knowing them.

PT=Physical Training

Has been a real struggle for me personally. Even though I pushed myself a lot doing low-impact workouts like swimming, social dance, and also weight training technically, before my foot was fully healed, I still haven’t been able to keep up with my teammates. My legs just haven’t been enough for me to get to my previous strength level, so when I do PT I have had to ask a guy to restructure the workouts. His name will be now and forevermore to be known as “The Commander”, because he’s in charge of our PT plans. Every single day of PT has been such a struggle. Everyday, I am always the last one to finish everything, but my teammates have been super encouraging about it. They always shout my name, and clap for me, just trying to encourage and love and support me, which honestly just makes me feel more awkward at times. (insert derp face).

Overwhelmed.. Frustrated… discouraged… ok I’m walking away now…. Try Again Perhaps I have always known this, but every time I am faced with a challenge typically I break it down, or I feel overwhelmed, and then frustrated with myself, then discouraged, and then I walk away in order to cool off a bit, and afterwards I will try again. I have had to wrestle through this cycle a lot on missions, wrestle with a lot of anxiety. Etc.

Differences in People, but the same Body… Many of my friends/teammates are from different countries, are different ethnicities, are from different cultures, speak different languages, have different passions, but together we are one team, with one mission that goes to one city, and is a part of one body, together we serve the greater body of Christ, to glorify him in every aspect, and making disciples of all nations in the name of the Father, the son, and the holy spirit. 1st Corinthians 12:12-31.

Prayer Requests:

-Team Unity: that despite our differences God’s Grace would overarch any differences that would separate us from God’s mission.

-For the Gospel: as we boldly love on the students at CCA, we would boldly share the Gospel with them.

-Personal: Grow in awareness, discernment, and working through my own emotions

Wonders never cease... "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him... The Spirit searches everything, especially the deep things of God. After all, who knows everything about a person except that person's own spirit? ...Now, we didn't receive the spirit that belongs to the world. Instead, we received the Spirit ... so that we could know the things which God has freely given us." ....😤 #inhale 😤 #exhale 🙏🏾the #experience #1stcorinthians ch2:9-12

love suffers long, and is kind; love does not envy, love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek it's own, is not provoked; thinks no evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; {love} bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. love never fails.

Why you exist!

God has always existed--He is Eternal.He is Spirit.He is Love.He is lonely.GodWantsSonsandDaughters. Since God is Love,and good. He naturally wants His sons and Daughters to be good and love also. Goodness,righteousness,virtue,character,and love AND INANIMATE things cannot be created as a rock,or water,or a star,etc.By the very nature of goodness,virtue,etc,it requires TIME AND CIRCUMSTANCE to develop (or create,if you will)these things. And so God CREATES all that is needed to develop these virtuous traits of character and love.Since any and every virtue that you can think of is the result of overcoming some form of evil. EVIL, therefore,becomes a very important ingredient in the development of virtue,character and love. As God does not DIRECTLY try anyone,He had to create adversaries to do this"dirty work".And so,God created His OWN ADVERSARY,Satan,the devil. There are lesser adversaries in the form of demons. God gives man the illusion of having "free will"which exalts his pride and vanity and causes him to think he can operate independently from God. This then brings about SIN.SIN is so bad that it needs to be atoned for. God sent HIS SON JESUS CHRIST to be this atonement. Only a few are presently called to understand ANY OF THESE THINGS.The rest of humanity will be called at the great white throne judging.There was NO evil present with God before satan,for God UNDERSTANDS all of the ramifications of good and evil.When all enemies and powers are brought under Christ's subjection,then evil,sin,and even death itself will be abolished.Sin and evil are absolutely necessary in the development of human character,virtue and love.Read 1stCorinthians chapter 15.

“We must not seek to bind the consciences of other believers with the private convictions that arise out of our personal walk with God. Even if you believe God has led you in developing those convictions, you still must not elevate them to the level of spiritual principles for everyone else to follow. The respected Puritan theologian John Owen taught that "only what God has commanded in his Word should be regarded as binding; in all else there may be liberty of actions."

“The whole of the problem is stated well by Paul in Romans 14:5: "…Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." And James 4:17 tells us, “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” The Living Bible puts it this way: “Anyone who believes that something he wants to do is wrong shouldn’t do it. He sins if he does, for he thinks it is wrong, and so for him it is wrong. Anything that is done apart from what he feels is right is sin” (Romans 14:23). In other words, if you are not fully convinced that what you are doing is good, do not do it. Do not act against a doubting conscience, for whatever is not of faith is sin.”

“Our convictions must be molded to obey Christ, and then we must not go against them. “Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves” (Romans 14:22).”

“Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.” (we must hold on to the progress we have already made.) Philippians 3:16

“As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions.” Romans 14:1

“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.”1stCorinthians 10:23-24

LOVE is PATIENT, LOVE is KIND. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It does not dishonor others. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. LOVE does not delight in evil, but REJOICES with the TRUTH. It always PROTECTS, always TRUSTS, always HOPES, always PERSEVERES. • • • #love #iLoveYou #i❤️You #HappyValentinesDay #ValentinesDay #ValentinesDay2018 #valentine #BeMyValentine #BeMine #1stCorinthians #1stCorinthians13 #heart #heartbreak #sweetheart #hugs #hug #kisses #kiss

So, Maybe What We Really Need is A Little Less Civilization

So, Maybe What We Really Need is A Little Less Civilization

Stop fooling yourselves. If you count yourself above average in intelligence, as judged by this world’s standards, you had better put this all aside and be a fool rather than let it hold you back from the true wisdom from above- 1stCorinthians 3:18 TLB 

I am an unapologetic fan of the refinements a civilized society provides. 

The refinements of civilization include (but are not limited to)…
