Growth Day

There is a familiar passage of scripture, Matthew 10:16, that is greatly misunderstood. Jesus is sending the apostles out on their first evangelistic mission and he tells them, “I am sending you out as sheep among wolves.” A major part of the misunderstanding comes from the fact that these were grown men, despite referring to them as lambs. Jesus wasn’t sending out lambs, he was sending out rams (adult male sheep), and rams aren’t weak or passive.

Each chapter in this book lends itself to the spiritual growth of the believer. We are to be aware of the very likely possibility that we will encounter false teachers and how to discern and deal with them. We are to be diligent and avoid deceptive teachings and avoid the wiles of Satan as he continually attempts to tempt us, to draw us away from our loving heavenly father. As you listen to this book, my prayer is you will hear from the heart of God as he continues to reach out and speak to his beloved church, his people, his called-out ones, as we rapidly approach the return of the king.

La alegría no es solo un "sentimiento de felicidad" basado en las circunstancias o cosas que posee. Más bien, es un fruto del Espíritu Santo que le da poder para permanecer estable y perseverar en los momentos difíciles para que pueda superarlos, en lugar de ser derrotado por ellos. Uno de los sellos distintivos de las epístolas de Pablo es la alegría con la que escribe, invitando a sus lectores a experimentarla también. Él eligió estar alegre en todas las circunstancias, incluso en los tiempos de lucha.

While most of us have the desire to share the gospel, we don’t know how to bring it up. Let’s face it… it’s not easy to go from “How is the weather?” to “Jesus died for you,” and no one is walking up to us on the street asking, “What must I do to be saved?” So what’s a well-intentioned Christian to do?

Often we view prayer as an activity reserved for a certain time, in a certain place, offered in a specific way. Scripture invites us to pray continually. This exhortation is an opportunity for prayer to permeate every aspect of our lives--when we're alone or in a crowd, when it's quiet and when it's chaotic, when we feel like it and when we don't.

Well, how do you get to know anyone? By hearing their story, by asking them questions, by talking with them day by day.

"God’s attitude toward His Son is unutterable love, but He gave that Son up to die for you and me. God’s attitude toward the believer is to give him eternal life, regardless of what his past has been.

People decide that question in a few minutes; decide it for all eternity. God help you to decide it right.
