In the depths of our souls, we yearn for love that is boundless, unchanging, and unconditional. It is a love that surpasses all earthly understanding and fills us with hope and inspiration. Such love can only be found in the Divine.

One verse from the Bible that beautifully encapsulates this profound love is found in John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” These words hold the key to unlocking the dimensions of God’s love for humanity.

God’s love was not just spoken of; it was demonstrated through His ultimate sacrifice – sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for the redemption of mankind. This act of love showcases the lengths God was willing to go to reconcile us to Himself, highlighting the unfathomable depth of His affection.

The power of God’s love resides in its ability to transform lives and bring about a spiritual rebirth. It has the power to heal brokenness, restore hope, and mend relationships. Even in the face of our mistakes and shortcomings, His love remains unwavering and unconditional.

However, receiving God’s love requires an open heart and a willingness to believe. It is not something that can be earned or deserved, but rather a precious gift that is freely given. When we accept and embrace His love, we find solace, purpose, and a sense of belonging that fulfills the deepest longings of our souls.

In conclusion, the love of God is a force beyond comprehension. It is demonstrated in His sacrifice, empowered to transform, and available for us to receive. Let us open our hearts to the incomparable love of God, allowing it to guide and nourish us in every aspect of our lives. May we find comfort and joy in the depths of His unconditional love, for it is a love that knows no limits.

The blessing of giving

And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

Acts 20:35c | NKJV

In a world often consumed by materialism and self-interest, there is a powerful force that can transcend boundaries and create profound positive change – the gift of giving. From small acts of kindness to larger philanthropic gestures, the act of giving holds immeasurable blessings for both the recipient and the giver. In this article, we will delve into the transformative power of generosity and how embracing it can enrich our lives.

Giving is a universal concept that knows no barriers or boundaries. Whether it is monetary donations, volunteering time, or simply lending a listening ear, the act of giving imbues our lives with a sense of purpose and fulfillment. By helping others in need, we tap into our innate capacity for empathy and compassion, fostering a deeper understanding of the human experience. This heightened awareness opens doors to personal growth, broadened perspectives, and meaningful connections with our communities.

Moreover, an important aspect of giving is the impact it has on the giver’s well-being. Numerous studies have demonstrated that acts of generosity enhance not only our happiness but also our physical and mental health. The release of endorphins, often referred to as the “helper’s high,” brings about a sense of joy and heightened self-worth. Researchers have even found that generous individuals experience lower blood pressure, reduced stress levels, and increased overall life satisfaction.

The blessings of giving extend beyond personal well-being and manifest in the form of stronger communities. Through acts of kindness and support, we create positive ripple effects that inspire others to do the same. The blessings multiply as the collective power of giving spreads, leading to a society fostered on compassion, unity, and social harmony.

In conclusion, the blessing of giving is a transformative force that has the power to shape lives, create connections, and nurture the common good. By embracing generosity, we not only enrich the lives of others but also experience a myriad of personal benefits. Let us cultivate a giving spirit and unlock the boundless blessings that lie within each act of kindness.

Relații prioritare la Cina Domnului

On By nelursIn Biblia, Credinta, EvenimentLeave a comment

Cina Domnului este o practică sacră care are o importanță imensă în viața fiecărui credincios. Este un moment în care ne amintim de jertfa lui Hristos, ne întâlnim cu Dumnezeu și ne reafirmăm angajamentul față de El și față de trupul Său, Biserica.

În primul rând, relația noastră cu Dumnezeu ar trebui să fie obiectivul principal în timpul Cinei Domnului. Este o ocazie puternică de a ne conecta cu El, de a ne exprima recunoștința și de a ne mărturisi păcatele. În timp ce ne împărtășim din aceste elemente, să ne amintim de dragostea incredibilă pe care Dumnezeu o are pentru noi și să ne reînnoim dedicarea de a-L urma din toată inima.

În al doilea rând, Cina Domnului este un moment pentru a ne întări relația cu Biserica. Această practică nu numai că simbolizează unitatea noastră ca și credincioși, dar ne amintește și de nevoia de iertare, har și reconciliere în cadrul comunității noastre. Haideți să acordăm prioritate promovării unor legături semnificative cu frații și surorile noastre în Hristos și să căutăm în mod activ oportunități de a ne sluji și de a ne sprijini unii pe alții.

În cele din urmă, Cina Domnului ar trebui să ne îndemne să ne examinăm relația noastră cu lumea. În timp ce reflectăm la sacrificiul lui Hristos și la chemarea Sa de a ne iubi aproapele, să recunoaștem responsabilitatea noastră de a fi ambasadorii mesajului Său de speranță și răscumpărare. Fie ca acest moment al comuniunii să ne inspire să avem un impact pozitiv asupra vieții celor din jurul nostru, atât în interiorul, cât și în afara Bisericii.

În concluzie, în timp ce participăm la Cina Domnului, să acordăm prioritate relației noastre cu Dumnezeu, cu Biserica și cu lumea.

Aprofundând aceste legături esențiale, nu numai că vom crește în credința noastră, dar vom contribui și la transformarea și înflorirea comunităților noastre.

Ora 14:00 încă mai avem de organizat câte ceva. Nori negri ca noaptea siberiană se învârt amenințători deasupra noastră. Se anunță o furtună de proporții. Adunăm scaunele din jurul cortului, ne adăpostim și începe potopul. Am zis în rugăciune: ” Doamne nu te poți contrazice în termeni. Am organizat prin credință și cu puterea Ta. Tată, tu ai creat norii, ploaia, soarele. Toate sunt excelente. Acum avem nevoie de soare.” Iar Tatăl ceresc exact asta ne-a dat. Mă întâlnesc cu o vecină, care mă întreabă: „Domnule pastor se mai ține evenimentul?” „Sigur!” Îi răspund. „Păi uitați ce se pregătește?” Apoi o liniștesc încrezător în Dumnezeu și calm: „Dacă în Ghioroc va fi potop, deasupra Cortului la orele 19:00 va fi o boltă de soare!” Și așa a fost! Mulțumim Tatălui ceresc!

Alex Cozma în dialog cu Toni Berbece –  Cine pune bărbatul și femeia în război

On By GeorgeIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Învață pe copil calea pe care trebuie s-o urmeze, și când va îmbătrâni, nu se va abate de la ea. (Prov.22:6)

Odată cu decăderea creștinismului, care era un fundament și un pilon de certă valoare în societate, oamenii și-au găsit ca fundament pentru valoare propriul sine. În dicționarul britanic de acum cca 60 de ani se poate citi că Sinele=Antichrist. Însă, după 60 de ani, sinele e perceput ca cea mai înaltă formă de dezvoltare personală.
