The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the
branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit,
for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
Acts 11.1-30
Pray for God to speak to you through
the reading of His word.
Read the passage.
-
Accurately Named?
o
Assuming that the name Christian means
someone who follows Christ, is it accurate to call you a Christian?
-
A Working Title
o
Did you know that Christ is actually
a title, and not a proper name? It is
the Greek word for “Messiah”, or “Anointed”.
o
That being the case, we are named
not after Jesus’ name, but his function as Messiah, the one anointed to bring
salvation. In what ways do we see our following
Christ as an occupation, rather than just a name we wear?
-
Putting Others First
o
When the Christians of Antioch hear
of an impending natural disaster, their first thought is how they might help
others. How were these Christ-followers
imitating Christ with their attitude?
Pray that when someone refers to us
as a Christian, it will be an accurate description of us as ones who follow
Christ.
Pray that we will see being a
Christian not just as a name, but as a calling.
Pray that we will put others first
just as Jesus did.
CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE MEN WHO CAUSED IT!
ReplyDeleteDo men have the ability to effect climate change on the planet earth? Are heat waves, cooling temperatures, earth quakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, gale-force winds, and snow storms the result of man's mismanagement of the planet?
Is it not naive and arrogant to assume that puny man can effect climate change? Man-made climate change is a grand hoax, at best.
HAVE MEN BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR CHANGES IN WEATHER PATTERNS? YES, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE HAD NO POWER TO EFFECT THE CHANGES THAT OCCURRED.
Genesis 6:13 The God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.
Were men responsible for the change in the weather pattern? Yes. Did men effect the change of the weather? No, God caused it to rain for 40 days and 40 nights, not men.
Genesis 18:20 And the Lord said, :The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave.
Genesis 19:24 Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven,
Were men responsible for the weather change in Sodom and Gomorrah? Yes. Did men cause the weather to change? No, God effected the change in the climate.
1 Kings 8:35 "When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain; because they have sinned against You....
Men are sometimes responsible for droughts, however, God effects the weather changes.
Matthew 27: 51,54 And behold , the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split. 54 Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"
Notice, the centurion did not attribute the earth quake to man-made climate change.
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
Men are responsible for the global warming that is coming.
No amount of green initiatives will stop the final global warming. Puny men will have no effect on the final climate change.
THE MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE HOAX WAS INVENT BY 1.DISHONEST MEN 2.NAIVE MEN 3.ARROGANT MEN 4.OR ALL OF THE ABOVE.
GOD IS IN CONTROL OF THE WEATHER.
