Download or read book En Los Negocios de Mi Padre Me Es Necesario Estar written by James A. Twentier and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avivamiento y Evangelismo A través de los dos brazos de la iglesia El avivamiento es el Señor trabajando en la iglesia; el evangelismo es la iglesia trabajando por el Señor. El avivamiento es Dios tratando con los cristianos: "Involúcrate en los negocios de Mi reino". El evangelismo es una iglesia despertada tratando con los pecadores a que: "Vengan a Jesucristo y sean salvos". 1. El brazo de poder - el Ministerio de Oración El ministerio de oración no es un departamento de la iglesia - es el poder generador de la iglesia. Hay una ley de Dios grabada en la piedra de la eternidad que declara que la oración se para sola en la prioridad más alta de la economía de Dios y no tiene rival - todo lo demás palidece en comparación. Todas nuestras acciones de compasión y cuidados deben comenzar y terminar con la oración eficaz y ferviente (poderosa). 2. El brazo de acciones - el Ministerio de Compasión y Cuidados El ministerio de Compasión y Cuidados (ganar almas y hacer discípulos) no es un departamento de la iglesia - es la misión de la iglesia. Podemos aprender algunas lecciones valiosas de compasión y cuidados para los heridos y lastimados mirando en la naturaleza a los gansos. Cuando un ganso se enferma o está herido y no puede seguir volando, dos gansos se salen de la formación y siguen al ganso herido hasta la tierra. Estos dos gansos se quedan con su compañero hasta que está bien para volar otra vez. Si la gente supiera que les ministraríamos en la iglesia de esa manera, ellos llenarían nuestros santuarios a tope. Si pudiésemos preparar, organizar y agonizar ferviente y consistentemente en oración para implementar seriamente este principio, no necesitaríamos otro programa o proceso de crecimiento de la iglesia. De hecho todos los otros programas y procesos fallarían si no incluyesen este principio. * * * El valor de un alma eterna * * * A través de los milenios del tiempo, el hombre ha diseñado y erigido hermosos monumentos de piedra duradera. Pero aún el mejor de los mármoles es consumido y calado por el diente del tiempo y desgastado a nada, pero la gente es eterna. La cosa más gratificante y duradera que harás jamás es rescatar y edificar el alma eterna e invaluable de un hombre inmortal.

Download or read book Jesus Is Coming Soon written by Guillermo Maldonado and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakings, Signs, and the Return of Christ You are mentioned in biblical prophecy. You may not be mentioned by name, but you are included there. End-times prophecies speak of faithful followers of Jesus—called the “remnant”—who are ready for the last days and His return, but they also speak of those who are unprepared or fall away before His appearing. Which prophecy will you fulfill? Jesus Is Coming Soon: Discern the End-Time Signs and Prepare for His Return will help you be certain you are part of God’s remnant. The signs of the end of the age and Jesus’s appearing are evident in the physical and spiritual worlds. But most people, including Christians, have not recognized them. What signs has God given to announce the culmination of His purposes for the world? How can we discern them? How can we prepare? This book will unfold: The reason for the unprecedented natural and spiritual shakings in our world What the signs tell us, including unusual signs such as blood moons How God works according to seasons, eras, and the fullness of time How Jewish feasts point to the ages of man, accurately showing us God’s time clock Which imminent biblical signs and promises have yet to be fulfilled The judgments God is bringing to the earth God has given prophecies concerning Israel, the church, and the world. And His Spirit is disclosing His last-days purposes right now. We need to know how to receive the vital revelation and prophetic knowledge He wants to share with His people. When we have this foreknowledge, we can understand the times and prepare for His final plans for the earth. God intends the church to be a community of hope, revival, and supernatural power in the midst of dark times. There is a spirit of confusion in the world today. People must turn to God for the answers only He can give, and the church needs to be ready to provide those answers. In these end times, you do not need to be fearful, discouraged, or distracted. Instead, you can know your true position in God before Christ’s appearing. You can be joyfully prepared, watching and waiting in expectation, with your spiritual eyes open. Live in God’s perfect will for your life and participate in His supernatural, last-days purposes!

Download or read book El Disc pulo Relacional written by Joel Comiskey and published by CCS Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus vivio con sus discipulos por tres anos ensenandoles lecciones de vida en grupo. Luego de tres anos les mando que "fueran e hicieran lo mismo" (Mateo 28:18-20). Jesus discipulo a sus seguidores por medio de relaciones interpersonales-y espera que nosotros hagamos lo mismo. A lo largo de las Escrituras encontramos abundantes exhortaciones a servirnos unos a otros. Este libro le mostrara como hacerlo. La vida de aislamiento de la cultura occidental de hoy crea un deseo por vivir en comunidad y el mundo entero anhela ver discipulos relacionales en accion. Este libro alentara a los seguidores de Cristo a permitir que Dios use las relaciones naturales de la vida: familia, amigos, companeros de trabajo, celulas, iglesia y misiones para moldearlos como discipulos relaciones."

Examina los temas del Rey y del reino de Dios tal como aparecen a lo largo de la Biblia. Nos muestra que toda la Escritura apunta al hecho que Dios es un Dios misionero y que el pueblo de Dios, la iglesia, debe ser un pueblo misionero. Nos muestra que la misión está en el centro del gran plan de Dios, no sólo de redención sino también de creación. . . . Nos recuerda que la misión de Dios incluye no sólo la salvación de individuos y la redención de la iglesia, sino también el restablecimiento del reino de Dios de rectitud, de paz y de justicia. . . .Glasser nos llama a recuperar la visión de la misión que corre por toda la Biblia y tomar eso como la base para la motivación y los métodos que usamos en nuestro alcance misionero. --Tomado del “Prologo” por Paul Hiebert

Download or read book Revolution in the Church written by Russell Burrill and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As Adventism burns with intense heat in the third world," author Russell Burrill writes in the first chapter of this book, "it barely flames in its homelands. ... Hiring pastors to do the work of the ministry while the laity pay, attend, and observe is not God's plan for the Adventist church." What the author proposes here is indeed revolutionary--nothing less than a radical change in how we Adventists "do church." He contends that both pastors and laity have strayed far from their biblically assigned roles. Regardless of how things may have been done in the church for decades now, ministry--soul-winning, evangelistic ministry--is not the primary task of Adventist pastors. As the author clearly establishes from the Bible, the chief job description of pastors is to train lay men and women for ministry. Likewise, the laity must cease delegating away its evangelistic privileges and responsibilities to a paid "priesthood" and rediscover the power of "the priesthood of all believers." For those comfortable with the status of quo of laity as spectators and pastors as the performers of ministry, this book may be less than fully welcomed. But for those eagerly awaiting the second pentecost, the ideas proposed here--if implemented--will prove to be the spark that ignites it. - Foreword About the Author. Acknowledgments 1.
