KEEPING FAITH SIMPLE<br />
The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. Psalm 25:14<br />
Our Open Doors colleague, Ron Boyd-MacMillan, shares the following insight from his teaching, Why I Need to Encounter the Persecuted Church.<br />
On his first visit to America, I took a Chinese Bible teacher to a Christian bookstore. I was not prepared for his reaction. I thought he would be overwhelmed by the variety of Bibles, reading aids, books and multi-media material on show. He was, but not in the way I expected. He stopped in the middle of the store, turned to me and said, It must be very hard to be a Christian here.<br />
Why do you say that? I asked.<br />
How are you going to keep your faith simple with all this available? We walked around the store as he told me what he meant. He picked five books off the shelf. All had similar titles like The Christians secret of a happy life. He leafed through them and said, Each book seems to say theres a secret to living a happy life in Jesus. But their secrets are all different. They all say there is one secret, but each has a different secret? Thats confusing.<br />
Well, thats just marketing I explained a little defensively. But he went on. Does that mean I have to buy all five books to really know Christ? That makes me anxious. What other secrets might I not be aware of? I have to buy more books. And soon, I would have more books than I could read, and I would not be happy, but guilty that I had spent money on all these books that I had no time to read.<br />
He put the books down on the floor and said quietly, In China, I prayed for God to bring me books. He did, but only at the rate of about four per year. So I read those books thoroughly. I copied out passages. I made summaries for teachers. I learned whole chunks by heart. These books really formed me. The point Im trying to make is that if you have too many books, its difficult to read one properly. Im not saying its impossible, just hard. And this variety actually makes faith more complicated than it really is.<br />
He taught me a daily habit he learned in prison. Every morning when you wake up, dont get up; just stay in bed and for ten minutes thank God for anything that comes into your mind. It might be the wallpaper, it might be for friends, it might just be for life. Anything. Once you get going you discover that the world is full of grace, Gods grace. With that attitude you are ready to live the day for God because you are overwhelmed at how generous God is to you.<br />
Its so simple, and yet isnt there something in us that finds the simplest activities so hard to keep up? Maybe that is why we pack our lives with an infinite variety of routines and habits. Anything but just continually doing what is simple.<br />
A Vietnamese evangelist said, We are to stay in the first grade, grateful to Jesus, repentant for our sins, expectant of his coming. Dont graduate or youll leave the basics behind.<br />
RESPONSE: Today I will live my life simply  back to basics of praising, praying, witnessing, awaiting.<br />
PRAYER: Help me, Lord, to stay in first grade so that I will never leave behind the basics.</p>

RESPONDING WITH PRAISE<br />
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18<br />
The overflow of singing praises amid great difficulties has tremendous spiritual power. Paul and Silas set the biblical pattern in the prison in Philippi (Acts 16).<br />
Helen Berhane spent almost three years in the shipping container prisons of Eritrea. In her book Song of the Nightingale, she shares about the first time she and other women were put in an old metal shipping container that was very hot and filled with fleas and lice:<br />
Everyone was very despondent, and many of the women were angry. They asked me what we should do and I knew they were expecting me to say that we should shout or bang the container, to let our captors know that we were not going to tolerate this treatment. But I remembered [reading] about how Christians, like nightingales, could not be prevented from singing even in captivity, and I suggested that we sing: We should praise God in spite of the fleas, in spite of the lice, in spite of the heat. We should thank God despite our circumstances. So I began to sing with them, and pray, and share the Word of God from memory.[1]<br />
Pastor Ung Sophal sat in a filthy Cambodian prison badly beaten. His hands and feet were chained for five months. Only my mouth was unchained, he said.<br />
So I sang to God in prison all the time. Another prisoner heard me singing through a small hole in the wall, so I taught him the songa bit at a time. He passed it on and soon eight of us were singing.<br />
Archbishop Dominic Tang spent twenty-two years in prison in China for his faith. He reports:<br />
Besides my prayer and meditation, every day I sang some hymns in a soft voice: Jesus I live for you; Jesus I die for you; Jesus I belong to you. Whether alive or dead I am for Jesus! This hymn was taught to me by a Protestant prisoner who lived in my cell.[2]<br />
RESPONSE: Today I will respond to all the challenges of life I face with praise and thankfulness.<br />
PRAYER: Pray that all Christian prisoners around the world will also respond to their circumstances as those documented above.</p>

raif, if you continue to accept "biblical advice" from ungodly people such as mamu and batasch, who know nothing about the Bible and who lie about its meanings every chance they get, then you will never understand what is or is not biblical.  In fact, you will be worse off than ignorance of the Biblebecause you will accept mamu et al.'s lies as "biblical" even though they are anything but.<br />

Actually, no it's not. As always, you are committing dissembly.  Your quoted statement is presenting a false dichotomy logical fallacy by saying that "either Jesus is God's son, or Jesus is God.<br />

The article may state this, but the Bible does not.  The article is an opinion piece only, and one not supported by Scripture.  This is not considered education.<br />
Again<br />
How can God sit at the right hand of himself?<br />
How can God forsake himself?<br />
Why does God need a God?<br />
How can God know things that God doesn't know?<br />
How can God be greater than himself?<br />
Why would God pray to himself?<br />
It's very clear. Jesus claims to be God's son in the Biblenot God. Big difference. That's why men had to vote on his divinity. That is historical, and something that one can become educated in.</p>

<p dir="auto">Except you haven't. Angry posted 6 examples derived from the Bible showing how Jesus is not God. You posted a belief without any Biblical evidence to support your claim. That isn't educating.<br />
Its not my belief. It is what is stated in the Bible.</p>
<ol>
<li>worshipped God<br />
Jesus obeyed God, not so much worshipped<br />
2)prayed to God<br />
Jesus prayed to his father, being the Holy Trinity (1 God in 3 persons)</li>
<li>lived for God<br />
Lived for, and obeyed his father, being the Holy Trinity (1 God in 3 persons)</li>
<li>was adopted by God<br />
What?</li>
<li>never once said "Hey pray to me I'm God" in fact he said in the book of Matthew "When you pray to God in your room/corner" He didn't say "When you pray to me in your corner"<br />
being the Holy Trinity (1 God in 3 persons)</li>
<li>Said his power came FROM GOD. Just like elijah and all the Prophets like Moses were given power by God to do miraculous things<br />
being the Holy Trinity (1 God in 3 persons)<br />
It seems more detailed education is needed (see below)is this enough to shut you up Mamu?<br />
"What does the Bible teach about the Trinity?"<br />
Answer: The most difficult thing about the Christian concept of the Trinity is that there is no way to perfectly and completely understand it. The Trinity is a concept that is impossible for any human being to fully understand, let alone explain. God is infinitely greater than we are; therefore, we should not expect to be able to fully understand Him. The Bible teaches that the Father is God, that Jesus is God, and that the Holy Spirit is God. The Bible also teaches that there is only one God. Though we can understand some facts about the relationship of the different Persons of the Trinity to one another, ultimately, it is incomprehensible to the human mind. However, this does not mean the Trinity is not true or that it is not based on the teachings of the Bible.<br />
The Trinity is one God existing in three Persons. Understand that this is not in any way suggesting three Gods. Keep in mind when studying this subject that the word Trinity is not found in Scripture. This is a term that is used to attempt to describe the triune Godthree coexistent, co-eternal Persons who make up God. Of real importance is that the concept represented by the word Trinity does exist in Scripture. The following is what Gods Word says about the Trinity:</li>
<li>There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5).</li>
<li>The Trinity consists of three Persons (Genesis 1:1, 26; 3:22; 11:7; Isaiah 6:8, 48:16, 61:1; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). In Genesis 1:1, the Hebrew plural noun "Elohim" is used. In Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7 and Isaiah 6:8, the plural pronoun for us is used. The word "Elohim" and the pronoun us are plural forms, definitely referring in the Hebrew language to more than two. While this is not an explicit argument for the Trinity, it does denote the aspect of plurality in God. The Hebrew word for "God," "Elohim," definitely allows for the Trinity.<br />
In Isaiah 48:16 and 61:1, the Son is speaking while making reference to the Father and the Holy Spirit. Compare Isaiah 61:1 to Luke 4:14-19 to see that it is the Son speaking. Matthew 3:16-17 describes the event of Jesus' baptism. Seen in this passage is God the Holy Spirit descending on God the Son while God the Father proclaims His pleasure in the Son. Matthew 28:19 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 are examples of three distinct Persons in the Trinity.</li>
<li>The members of the Trinity are distinguished one from another in various passages. In the Old Testament, LORD is distinguished from Lord (Genesis 19:24; Hosea 1:4). The LORD has a Son (Psalm 2:7, 12; Proverbs 30:2-4). The Spirit is distinguished from the LORD (Numbers 27:18) and from God (Psalm 51:10-12). God the Son is distinguished from God the Father (Psalm 45:6-7; Hebrews 1:8-9). In the New Testament, Jesus speaks to the Father about sending a Helper, the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17). This shows that Jesus did not consider Himself to be the Father or the Holy Spirit. Consider also all the other times in the Gospels where Jesus speaks to the Father. Was He speaking to Himself? No. He spoke to another Person in the Trinitythe Father.</li>
<li>Each member of the Trinity is God. The Father is God (John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2). The Son is God (John 1:1, 14; Romans 9:5; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20). The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 3:16).</li>
<li>There is subordination within the Trinity. Scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is subordinate to the Father and the Son, and the Son is subordinate to the Father. This is an internal relationship and does not deny the deity of any Person of the Trinity. This is simply an area which our finite minds cannot understand concerning the infinite God. Concerning the Son see Luke 22:42, John 5:36, John 20:21, and 1 John 4:14. Concerning the Holy Spirit see John 14:16, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7, and especially John 16:13-14.</li>

Except you haven't.  Angry posted 6 examples derived from the Bible showing how Jesus is not God.  You posted a belief without any Biblical evidence to support your claim.  That isn't educating.</li>

Don't post links to websites or John 1:1 I've read it all and it's all a way to twist what the Bible actually says. John 1:1 comes from the same gospel that says contrary John 1:45, John 17:1-3 I used to be a trinitarian but have given it up 9 years ago for the TRUTH of there being ONE GOD not a trinity which is pagan</li>

<p dir="auto">I find that abhorrent and immoral.<br />
Yet you are fine with mass murdering babies via 'abortion' even though<br />
nothing<br />
is more abhorrent and immoral than that.<br />
You mind must be endlessly working out your colossal cognitive dissonance over your hypocrisy of calling other things abhorrent and immoral when you yourself are an advocate for the epitome of abhorrence and immorality.<br />
Moreover, as always, you are taking the verse you quote out of context and claiming is contains meanings which it does not.  Your claim that the verse is endorsing slavery is false.  What it is actually doing is making the point that one evil should not be repaid with another.<br />

<p dir="auto">This reverence and awe is exactly what the fear of God means for Christians.<br />
Believers are not to be scared of God. We have no reason to be scared of Him<br />
Except the Bible tells us to fear God as a slave would fear a cruel and wicked master.  Even to tremble in fear.  Slaves do not revere or love a cruel slave owner.  They fear them because, as their owners, they are entitled to beat them and treat them harshly.<br />
1 Peter 2:18-21  "Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God. But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.<br />
I find that abhorrent and immoral.</p>
