SINOPSE: Material needed to complete the “False Love: Overcoming Sexual Sin from Pornography to Adultery” program at The Summit Church (Durham, NC).
SINOPSE: Videos from the "True Betrayal: Overcoming the Betrayal of Your Spouse's Sexual Sin" program at The Summit Church (Durham, NC).
SINOPSE: Is that even possible? There is only one way that I know to do that. It is to teach your children to have proper respect for the authorities God has placed over them, and then to teach them to obey the first time.
SINOPSE: Augustus Nicodemus fala sobre as traduções da Bíblia para o português, passando sobre os manuscritos originais (texto crítico, texto recebido, texto massorético, textus receptus, texto majoritário) e metodologias de tradução (equivalência formal, equivalência dinâmica). Qual versão usar? Almeida Revista e Corrigida (ARC), Almeida Corrigida e Fiel (ACF), Almeida Revista a Atualizada (ARA), Almeida Século XXI, Nova Versão Internacional (NVI), Nova Tradução na Linguagem de Hoje (NTLH), A Mensagem?
SINOPSE: The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! A lion is in the open square!” As the door turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed. The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is weary of bringing it to his mouth again. The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can give a discreet answer (Prov 26:13-16). These powerful images provide a strong warning concerning the sin of laziness. This passage, and other warnings in the book of Proverbs, cause us to reflect upon God’s call to us be hard workers who possess much initiative.
SINOPSE: O nono mandamento: “Não dirás falso testemunho contra o seu próximo”.
Nos termos mais simples possíveis, este mandamento está dizendo que não devemos apenas nos abster de dizer coisas que não são verdade, mas que nós devemos amar e promover a verdade.
SINOPSE: Like any holiday, Mother’s Day is sweet for some and bitter for others. For some, it’s both.
SINOPSE: O que é o principal em um casamento? Neste emocionante vídeo, Ian e Larissa encarnam a demonstração de que o casamento é primariamente uma questão de demonstrar o amor fiel entre Cristo e Sua Igreja. Que através deste vídeo você possa repensar seu (atual ou futuro) casamento. Abaixo segue uma carta de John Piper a respeito do vídeo e no final da postagem colocamos a versão em português do livro que é citado no vídeo.
SINOPSE: God means to be glorified in being recognized as the ultimate Mover and Determiner of all things. Let us not seek to rob Him of that. For it is our “heavenly peace, divinest comfort” to know that “whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well.”
SINOPSE: O Dia das mães é uma data complicada. Como qualquer outra data comemorativa, é agradável para uns e amarga para outros. Eu me lembro de olhar para o Dia das mães do lado de fora, antes como solteira, depois por ter perdido minha primeira gravidez.
SINOPSE: inding a way to love and connect with your mother as an adult begins by honoring her.
SINOPSE: Nosso inimigo diz, “Prazer quando jovem, negócios quando adulto, religião quando velho.” A Bíblia diz, “Quando jovem, adulto, e velho para o Criador.”
Mas como é especialmente na juventude que somos inclinados (determinados?) a esquecer do Criador, é especialmente nesses anos que devemos trabalhar para nos lembrarmos Dele (Eclesiastes 12:1). Lembre-se de que Ele te fez, que Ele te supre, que Ele cuida de ti, que Ele te vê, que Ele te controla; e lembre-se que Ele é o único que pode salvá-lo. Isso é muito para se lembrar, mas é muito mais fácil de memorizar quando se está jovem!
SINOPSE: O Dia das Mães é um dia particularmente sensível em muitas congregações – algo que pastores e líderes muitas vezes nem o sabem. Isto é verdade até mesmo em congregações que não focam o culto inteiro no evento, como se ele fizesse parte do calendário litúrgico da igreja. Mulheres estéreis, e muitas vezes seus maridos, ainda estão frequentemente sofrendo às sombras.
SINOPSE: Our desires—the things we want—tend to govern our lives and our choices. For that reason, it is important that our desires get formed in a biblical mold.
SINOPSE: As a pastor, I have the privilege (and burden) of helping people work through all kinds of issues. Sometimes, the issue they want to address is really the issue that needs to be addressed. But often, what people think is the issue really isn’t the issue. There is usually something deeper going on in their soul that needs to be addressed.
SINOPSE: I meet with women all the time who are curious about how they should study the Bible. They hunger for transformation, but it eludes them. Though many have spent years in church, even participating in organized studies, their grasp on the fundamentals of how to approach God's Word is weak to non-existent. And it's probably not their fault. Unless we are taught good study habits, few of us develop them naturally.
SINOPSE: Just consider the roller-coaster ride of emotions we can experience in the course of a single week (or, for some of us, a single day): anger, love, frustration, joy, sorrow, annoyance, irritation, fear, anxiety, peace, satisfaction, exultation, discouragement, happiness, fulfillment, dissatisfaction, anticipation. The list could go on. I’ve met some even-keeled women over the years, and I used to chalk it up to natural-born temperament. Over time, however, I’ve come to see that such equilibrium has as much to do with maturity as it does with birth.
SINOPSE: One unknown author once said, “Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it.“ For Christians, we must realize that during those days we may have more freedom with our time, it doesn’t lessen the responsibility we have to use our time wisely for the Lord. The idea of “redeeming our time” is found in several places in Scripture.
SINOPSE: Talking to our children about going to college can be one of the trickiest things we’re called to do as parents. We care about their future. We want things to go well for them. But if we’re honest, it’s also a time of concern: Will my child’s Christian faith be strong enough to withstand the tests of college—the party scene, the atheistic professors seeking to brainwash freshmen? Will they manage their time well, or be overwhelmed with the amount of freedom that awaits them? Will they make solid, life-long friends, or be lonely and get in with the wrong crowd? Will they be happy, successful, and persevering in their studies, or will they wander aimlessly from one major to the next?
SINOPSE: If deciding on a college major feels huge, maybe it’d help to start by realizing that your choice of a major doesn’t have to bind you for life. If you’re one of the 70 percent of high school graduates who go on to college, the thing to do is to pick a major that excites you, that will qualify you for a job in which you can do the kinds of things you enjoy, and which you’re able to do with your gifts and talents.
