Na família se estabelecem sistemas de valor; aprendem-se autoridade, disciplina, amor, respeito; toma-se direção na vida. Embora o filho possa parecer, anos mais tarde, repudiar grandemente o que foi aprendido no lar, certamente ele leva grande vantagem sobre aquele que não teve orientação na fé em casa.

Richard C. Halverson, citado por Richard Baxter em “O Pastor Aprovado”

Keep this great fact in view: God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. The Christian must never allow himself to lose sight of this permanent orienting fact: God is. - Richard C. Halverson #WTSInspire

VERSET DU JOUR :

"L'évangélisation n'est pas une technique de vente. Il ne s'agit pas d'exhorter les gens, de leur mettre la pression, de les contraindre, de les accabler, ou de les soumettre. L'évangélisation c'est faire passer un message. L'évangélisation c'est rapporter une bonne nouvelle." –Rev. Richard C. Halverson

Beaucoup de chrétiens ne sont pas à l’aise avec l’évangélisation, mais on ne peut pas être disciple du Christ sans avoir le souci de l’évangélisation. C’est une demande explicite de Jésus car, le monde a besoin de Dieu et il a le droit d’entendre l‘Évangile autant que nous avons le devoir de le proclamer.

L’Apôtre Paul a dit :

« J'ai été faible avec les faibles, afin de gagner les faibles. Je me suis fait tout à tous, afin d'en sauver de toute manière quelques-uns. Je fais tout à cause de l'Evangile, afin d'y avoir part. » 1 Corinthiens 9:22-23

« Faites accueil à celui qui est faible dans la foi, et ne discutez pas sur les opinions. » Romains 14:1

Imitons-le ! Que Dieu nous aide !🙏🔥

Today's Daily Encounter Failure Is Only An Event "Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin."1 Richard Halverson in Pulpit Helps asked the question: "Who hasn't failed? The Apostle Paul failed, Peter failed, every one of the twelve apostles failed. David, Israel's greatest king, 'a man after God's own heart,' failed. Moses, giant among the Israelites, giver of the law, deliverer of his people, failed. Jacob, father of Israel, failed. Isaac, son of promise, failed. Abraham, progenitor of Israel, father of the faithful, prototype of those who are righteous through faith, failed. Even our first parents, in their human perfection, failed. Who hasn't failed? "It is not failing that is the problem; it is what one does after he has failed. To take failure as final is to be a failure. To see, in failure, the school of [God's] Spirit is to let failure contribute to one's growth in Christ." When we fail, the important thing is to get up, confess it to God and, where necessary, to the person whom we have hurt and ask for their forgiveness. Then we need to forgive ourselves as God forgives us, and learn from the experience. Failure is only an event. It doesn't define who we are in Christ. Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please forgive me for where I have failed. Thank you that you use every situation in my life to teach me. Give me a teachable spirit and the determination to get up and try again. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus name." 1. Psalm 51:1-2 (NIV). <:))))>< NOTE: If you would like to accept God's forgiveness for all your sins and His invitation for a full pardon Click on: http://www.actsweb.org/invitation.php.

He must be the only Son of God

Recently I purchased a book entitled What the Odds Are. It's an A-Z collection of the odds on "everything you ever hoped or feared could happen".

For instance, did you know that the odds of your being injured by a lightning strike on any given day are only 1 in 250 million, but over the average lifetime are 1 in 9,100? In contrast, the odds that the average citizen of Washington, D.C. will get "plugged, stabbed, poisoned, or bludgeoned to death" in the course of a year are only 1 in 1,681!

One in 10 Americans read the Bible daily. One in two eat out somewhere every single day of the week--1 in 20 at McDonald's. In Sweden, 40 of every one hundred persons are senior citizens; in Fiji, only 1 in 50. And here's one that really amazed me: 1 in every 24 Americans has membership in the National Geographic Society. I guess it figures, though, because I noticed recently that a staggering 9,975,558 average copies of the National Geographic magazine are printed by the Society every month (including those intended for international distribution).

If you still happen to be unconvinced that the baby born in Bethlehem 2000 years ago was anything more than just an ordinary human baby, let me challenge you with a few of “the odds” in that regard.

1. To begin with, did you know that the Old Testament prophet Micah, writing circa 700 B.C., out of the hundreds and hundreds of cities in the scores and scores of nations in existence all over the world even in those days, designated Bethlehem of Judea as the birthplace of the Messiah (Micah 5:2)?

2. And that at about the same time, Isaiah (7:14) said that the Christ would be born of a virgin?

3. Or that a prophecy made in 1012 B.C. specified that the Messiah's hands and feet would eventually be pierced--a clear reference to death by crucifixion--800 years before the Romans ever even instituted crucifixion as a form of capital punishment!

4. Malachi 3:1, penned in about 425 B.C., specified that the Messiah would be contemporary with the temple in Jerusalem--a temple that was destroyed in 70 A.D. and has never been rebuilt.

5. Well, if all this impresses you even a little bit, you ought to go compare Zechariah 11:11-13 (written over 500 years before Christ) to Matthew 27:3-10(written some 25-30 years after Christ). Only coincidence?

5. A number of years ago, Peter W. Stoner and Robert C. Newman wrote a book entitled Science Speaks. The book was based on the science of probability and vouched for by the American Scientific Affiliation. It set out the odds of any one man in all of history fulfilling even only eight of the 60 major prophecies (and 270 ramifications) fulfilled by the life of Christ.

The probability that Jesus of Nazareth could have fulfilled even eight such prophecies would be only 1 in 1017. That's 1 in 100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000.

Stoner claims that that many silver dollars would be enough to cover the face of the entire state of Texas two feet deep. Now I've been to Texas. I've driven for days to get across Texas. Texas is a very big state. Who in his right mind would suppose that a blindfolded man, heading out of Dallas by foot in any direction, would be able, on his very first attempt, to pick up one specifically marked silver dollar out of 100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000?

One March several years ago I received a paper from United States Senate Chaplain Richard Halverson. In it he wrote:

“The fact is, the birth, crucifixion, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ are celebrated worldwide by folk of every race, language, and color, every year. And believing in Jesus, they have been delivered from the most evil, disastrous, frustrating, debilitating habits and life forms possible. The real problem with Jesus Christ is not that folk can't believe in Him—but that they won't believe in Him.”

My friend, in all honesty, what are the chances you've not been altogether objective about the nature of the baby born in Bethlehem? What if the baby was God? What if He is God? What if you are to submit your life to Him?

Conquering your toughest enemy - yourself!

Word for Today written by Bob and Debby Gass

Sunday 6th June 2021

'Follow in the footsteps of Christ.' 1 Peter 2:21 CEV

Richard C. Halverson, former chaplain of the United States Senate, said: 'Want to be a winner? Compete against yourself, not somebody else...Outrunning your rival doesn't mean you ran your best race. You can win over another and still not fulfil your potential...To be your best, you must compete with yourself. It's life's biggest contest. A loser is a winner - however many his losses - if he conquers himself. A winner is a loser - however many his victories - if he loses the battle with himself. Alexander the Great conquered the world, and cursed his own lack of self-control. Victory over others may in fact be the very thing that contributes to the winner's failure to conquer self. Winning makes him proud, arrogant, independent, thoughtless - and sometimes cruel. To put it another way, it isn't what happens to you that makes the difference, but how you handle it. The one who stops maturing spiritually because he thinks he knows more Scripture than others or has more success in ministry, is still far from being what Christ planned for him.'

Compared to others you may look good, but God's plan is to produce in you the character qualities of Christ. 'This suffering is all part of the work God has given you. Christ, who suffered for you, is your example. Follow in his steps: he never sinned, never told a lie, never answered back when insulted; when he suffered he did not threaten to get even; he left his case in the hands of God who always judges fairly' (1 Peter 2:21-23 TLB).

Minha convicção era, e ainda é, que o Novo Testamento não define a evangelização como um departamento da vida da Igreja. Tampouco se trata de um dos nossos muitos programas iniciados pela Igreja. Em vez disso, é a resultante normal de uma comunidade espiritualmente forte, a qualidade de cuja vida, individual e corporativamente, dá suporte ao testemunho dos crentes.

No início, a igreja era um grupo de homens centrados no Cristo vivo. Então, a igreja chegou à Grécia e tornou-se uma filosofia. Depois, chegou à Roma e tornou-se uma instituição. Em seguida, à Europa e tornou-se uma cultura. E, finalmente, chegou à América e tornou-se um negócio. Richard C. Halverson
