 A friend is one to worry about you , that treats you well , do not cheat , always has a friendly word of comfort to give you in times of pain and difficulty always be by your side cheering , praying for you .

Has many childhood friends who made ​​a pact , an alliance to be friends for a lifetime , watching a news report on TV had the pleasure of watching a true example of friendship ties , sixteen friends since childhood continue to maintain the friendship stronger than ever, they always come together , each group watched growing every friend , marry, have children , grandchildren and even sadder to see the best older friend to come will die , it is the bond of friendship is not the same .

Nowadays it is very difficult to find people like this friendship to offer , find yes, but with half of these qualities , a person who is 100 % and more is still only O JESUS ​​CHRIST , Jesus is our true friend .

Friendship with someone around us is fundamental , it is not good for man to live alone , alone, with no one to talk to , we need to bond friendships at school, at work, in the neighborhood , in the vicinity of our home even better, if you need help or something happens to us, we use below . , so it's good to have a good relationship with everyone around us .

The Great Journey

I'm preparing for a big trip that I will do at any time , for years now I 'm preparing for this trip anxiously in my hand luggage only bring you to faith and soul to gain God here , the hotel and the passages already been paid for more than two thousand years ago , only agreed to do this trip that will be eternal .

Pay Attention Well this illustration below :

There is an old story about a king who, according to the customs of the time , had his jester . These jesters had the right to tell the truth to the kings and princes , even if it was bitter . If she was too bitter , just it was said : " He's just a fool ! "

One day the king gave the fool a scepter silver with golden bells on the end and said, " Surely you are the biggest fool there is. If you ever find one that will be stupider than you , so give this rod . "

The fool carried the scepter for many years - until the day he received the news that the king was dying . He went to the sick room and said : " My king , I heard that you intend to make a great trip ! "

" I do not want , but need," replied the king .

" Oh , do you need? Then there is a power that is above upon earth . Well , but you sure will be back soon " " No," cried the king , " do not back the land to which I go . "

The fool tried to console him : " Surely you have prepared this trip for a long time . Imagine that you have taken all the steps to be royally received in this land where no one around . "

The king shook his head : " I forgot it. Never had time to prepare for this trip . " Then surely you did not know that one day he would have to make this trip . "

Know , I know . But , as I said , there was no time to occupy myself with good preparation .

So the fool slowly put the rod on the bed of the king and said :

" You ordered me that this scepter to him that I was more foolish . Rei take the scepter ! You knew it had to enter eternity and that there is no return. And even then did not bother to make the eternal dwellings you were open . Rei , you are the biggest fool ! "

This illustration makes us reflect and will travel is for those who do not prepare for it .

This great trip will be no turning back , only if you have trip tickets and two categories of Class A Pass In Eternity With Christ , and Class B Suffering In Hell Forever .

I'm sad to know that many people have chosen the class B , because it seems to be easier to pay the ticket, that is where they mistake the class already pays as people are deluded with the proposal that the devil does when it offers a accent best in class B , the iludes him with false promises , so many souls have come every day to hell .

Many say I will not die now I'm too young I have a whole life ahead , that is where we are wrong again when the driver ( Death ) knocks on your door to take you to the place to take the trip , you have no choice no point in saying that is too young to go, because when your time here on earth is just no use running .

Do not invest anything on this earth for the big trip to go to , because it will lose its time, The Bible says in Psalm 14:1 :


Fools think, God does not exist , and so do not think for even a moment in eternity and what comes after death .
 But do everything to get something in this life . Invest for it all his time , strength and money , yet the title of your life is : are fools .
Can even get all that is possible in this world , but miss the mark , because it is written in Luke 9:25 What advantage will someone gain the whole world , even if it is lost or if it is destroyed ?

Do not refuse when the the seller agency " Heaven" offer the tickets already paid for and even more first- class baby ! , This is Chic , Chic is first class! do not be fooled to choose another travel option will regret it for life ops ! or better for all eternity be like to have them return .

open book.

I see a lot of people out there saying " My life is an open book ," I will tell you the same ? .
             An open book face will have access to all content contained in its pages is only seen them and will read, unlike the closed book that we have to open it to have access to the content of your pages , many books are sealed until not to be read .
 My life with God has been an open book before him do not hide anything, I open up and tell him everything that 's wrong with me , I'm glad cry , I shed before the living God , he is the only one who understands me . I have two personalities 'm the same inside and outside the church .
Many believers have dual personalities , live lied to the pastor of the church , hiding the truth from others in the church is one thing , and another is at home at work or on the street is unrecognizable , even says that his life is an open book . ,
Ananias and Sapphira tried to deceive the servants of God , saw that eventually led the couple . Read Acts of the Apostles ch. 5:1 11.
David's life was an open book in front of you, many people think they can do whatever one will know , that no wind ta , ta completely wrong , you with your eyes contemplates everything and everyone , your neighbor , your ate family may not know about who you are actually, but God knows everything, so do not go saying that his life is an open book .
Very only has the book cover content that is good moths have gnawed , what does that mean many say that his life is an open book , but it is actually only appearance, my mother always says _ Elaine heart is earth nobody will , my mother tells a great truth .
Give an example of a life of good conduct spire others to be what you will , the apostle Paul 's example and to this day , many times I read some letters of Paul to the Corinthians and mainly get inspired them , this man of God who suffered severe trials all for the love of work is a great example of open book.
Be a good example wherever it is, for everyone to look at you and see God in your life .
* Do not forget : Opened book is where all have the process and its pages are true .

God exists ?

God exists ? this is one of the questions that many hours of anguish and torment questions his existence , as many think that if God does not exist for real - Mos would have tribulation here on earth , it is cheating . , Stop and think a bit this illustration .



A man went to the hairdresser to cut your hair ( obviously ) . To break the ice , he started talking to the professional . Conversation comes , will talk , until they began to talk about God ... Look a little discussion :

- I do not believe that God exists , how you talk - said the barber .

- Why do you say that ? - Asked the client .

- Well, it's very simple : you just need to go out in the street to realize that God does not exist. If God really existed, would there be so many sick people ? Would there be abandoned children ? Are there drug users ? If God existed , there would be no suffering. I can not imagine a God who would allow all of these things .

The customer thought for a moment , but decided not to prolong the conversation . The barber finished his job and the customer left the establishment. At this time he saw a man sitting on the sidewalk with a beard and long hair and unkempt . It seemed that it was a good time that man had not cut his hair or shaved , besides being completely dirty. The client returned to the hairdresser and said to the barber :

- You know what ? Barbers do not exist.

- Why, as there are not ? - Said the barber confused.

- I'm here in front . I'm not a barber ?

- No! - The client exclaimed with a different glow in his eyes .

- They do not exist because if they did, there would be no people with long hair and beard , dirty and disheveled as that beggar.

- Ah , but barbers do exist , what happens is that people do not come to me and this is an option of them .
                             
- Exactly ! - Affirmed the customer . - That's just it . God does exist , what happens is that people do not seek it because of them is an option , and that is why there is so much pain and suffering in the world .

Removing the Stone

Removing this Stone in Your Life

In John 11

38 Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone placed at the entrance.
39 "Take away the stone," he said. Said Martha, the sister of the dead man: "Lord, he stinks because it is four days."
40 Jesus said to him: "I did not say that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"
41 So they took away the stone. Jesus looked up and said: "Father, I thank you for hearing me.
42 I know that you always hear me, but I said this because the people that are here, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. "
43 After saying this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"
44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped in linen strips, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them: "Loose him and let him go."
45 Many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary saw what Jesus did, believed in him.
     

            
 This passage is unmistakable, exciting to read, the lord jesus asked that the stone takes no Lazarus come out of the grave.

This week it still succeeds had to remove the stone that was in my life, I could see what GOD emfim really want for my life, the things around me began to move toward, everything began to fall into place, even though I have a spiritual life with God has things we have to remove from our lives for the miracle to happen, so it was with me.
What you have in order to achieve what is of God for your life, if you have prayed a long time and nothing seems to happen, do not lose heart there! Certainly an impediment in your life, a stone will be removed., In so remove the stone of fear, lies, deception, illusion, pain, illness, depression, determine what these bad is taken of your life, do not let the devil will possess you with the lack of faith.

When Martha for this Ladies jesus that was already four days that Lazarus had died, she had no faith, for sorrow had dominated, jesus wept, was sad, but did not kill the sorrow, he prayed to GOD father and Lazarus revived.

Relive your dreams today as well and remove the stone from the fear that you are in, and reach always the best part of God for your life.

What you have seen

What have you seen? this is a very peculiar and rhetorical question is not it, surely someone has asked you this, I've asked myself this question several vesses, and made a high analysis on me and I came to a conclusion that not all I see me builds .

How do I know that not all I watch my builds, the vesses good when I'm watching a movie or program, apparently seems to be any program, there is harmless I'm mistaken, all vesses I just watch what i thought was good to my mind, my mind starts to bother me with those images, the night the dream turns nightmare, what appeared to be harmless is the most dangerous.

Recently I discovered some secrets that lie behind cartoon primarily of disney, witnessed testimonials from parents who said the children's behavior had changed after he attended some drawings, I was horrified, I had heard about this but had not stopped to notice.

The devil uses several tricks to deceive the people of God, a certain TV station of our fathers, has contaminated many believers with his novels and mini series sacrificed to idols of demons with yards of voodoo and even human sacrifice, this was a the reports of former holy father Pastor Gomes de Oliveira says that this TV overall.

Dear parents pay close attention to what their children have seen around, have some programs that children are sacrificed to the devil, to disturb the minds of children

Again redo that question what you have seen, has built or destroyed their spiritual life, make itself a high analysis everything set no eyes what is evil it includes things that can cause greed, leading us to sin .

The psalmist David said:

I will not put anything awkward before my eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

Psalms 101-3

Read the full samo 101 and see what GOD has to talk to you.

I did not deserve

I really enjoy meditating on the lyrics of the songs I hear, always bring a few songs here on the blog that caught my attention, the music of today is DIED ON THE CROSS OF Gabriela Rocha

God loves us so much that he sent his only son to die in my place, who these days would do these, and nobody sane would let their child die to save a lot of people he does not know, but God did it, jesus suffered so much for us that I could not bear to think, suffered great pain for our sake, but he did everything without complaining so today we were saved by him.

Appreciate the chance you have today, jesus suffered great distress on the cross so that today salvation was free, so that our sins were forgiven, that we had full access to it, treasure it is approaching the day when salvation will the price of blood, meditate on the lyrics of this song.

Music: DIED ON THE CROSS. Singer (Gabriela Rocha)

I stopped a little

And I began to imagine

Who else could love me so

to die in my place
It took all pains
And I passed all fights
Do not compare to what Jesus suffered

He died on the cross to save me
rescued me
And that immense pain
he bore
Passed terrible humiliations
Because he loved me

I did not deserve (yet He loved me)
I did not deserve (yet He loved me)
I did not deserve, but He loved me.

have mercy

"Then they came to Jericho. And he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, the blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. And hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. And many charged him to be quiet, but he cried the more: Son of David! have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and said to call him, and called the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort: arise, he calls you. And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. And Jesus, speaking, said to him: What do you want me to do? And the blind man said unto him, Master, I have seen. And Jesus said unto him, Go, thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he saw, and followed Jesus in the way. "(Mark 10:46-52).

This passage espirou me to compose a song that really excites me, Bartimaeus was blind from birth and all what he wanted in life was to see.

I can imagine the scene until it was To him the day that Bartimaeus had a vision in my mind Bartimaeus had heard of Jesus, because when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, he quickly began to call " son of David, have mercy on me, he knew it was crying loudly jesus would hear.

Bartimaeus was begging on the road, so cried, crying loudly, the crowd wanted him to shut up, but he did not know whether to cry jesus would not hear him perhaps the only chance of a lifetime to have the long awaited vision .

In my view jesus was surely going the way where was Bartimaeus., JESUS ​​stopping him to be called, and called the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort: arise, he calls you. What would such happiness Bartimaeus that time, it would be a mutual happiness of ing him cry cry watching her miracle was right.

As servants and followers of Jesus Christ, we must follow the example of Bartimaeus he cries out to jesus the son of David have mercy on him, and Jesus had. If we are going through trials, struggles, tribulations whatever she adversities day day in the life of Christians we must humble ourselves before the Lord's presence and shred our hearts to God, and say to the LORD GOD have mercy on us, God surely heard in the heavens and answered.

Make it so today and receive your miracle.

deception

Cry is not the solution for those who had a grid disappointment, I say so, I had a big disappointment cut my heart was hard to redo again., When you think that person is what you think it is and then you feel mistaken, it was how I felt.

You feel betrayed, the Lord Jesus knew from the beginning that Judas Iscariot would betray him, but still loved Judas and not a moment treated differently, so are we had rather a disappointment but will not treat different'll love my neighbor like the lord jesus taught us.

Pick up the pieces and compose myself is what I did, start from scratch and raise your head, do something better GOD.

The devil wants us to Cabes low, sad disappointments we have on the day, but God wants to see us happy and singing, going over the difficulties, the struggles and the puera shake and sing victory.

Let not the struggles of the day day will bring us down, cheer up.

The Love of God

The Love of God is beyond our understanding, overcomes everything and everyone, who would give his only son to die for mankind, no one would have the courage but GOD did it out of love for you and me.

We have a great significance to God, because he loves us and only wants our best, corrects us when we are wrong, because the father love child discipline too.

    We seek to love and serve God with all our heart because he just wants our best, everything is his, and it is coming for him.

when to say it is not necessary

I see many people in their day day saying yes, yes, yes everyone is very difficult to see out of her mouth the word no.,

I witness too many parents doing the wills of their children just saying the word yes, yes son can buy it, but you go to that party, but you can sleep in the house buddy and so on, that way it will grow rebellious children will not accept when parents deny any thing saying three letters a simple no.

Saying NO to vesses is needed is more than obligation both in our spiritual life both in our physical life on the day, we have to say no every day for the world, for the pleasures of the flesh and resist the temptations of the devil.

Living saying yes to everyone around you that want your help or anything at all or wants to ask anything in return is the same as saying no to yourself, saying yes is good at the right time at the right time.

When you say it is not necessary? but when you start to choke, hurt your life, you will know that there is not all can count on me, I'll be there, yes I will help you.

Estova watching a TV show when I stopped at a certain channel that told the story of a girl saying yes to everyone with their help she was not having time to herself, when she denied help her friends and did not get blamed for it could have said no, but was comedo of them that just hurts the hurting herself.

The Lord God does not want that to happen in our midst of his people, because until even the angel of the church, the pastor need not tell his sheep. Could stay here all day writing to you all when you say it is not necessary, but I want to meditate on the basics that I wrote for that God give them wisdom in their day day here on earth.

Status: In a Relationship Curled

I see many pure-i putting on their status on social networks like this (In a Relationship In Rolled), as these people can be committed to each other with someone who does not want anything serious, it may sound funny but it is what many put on their status.

As if resigned to this situation, and most of these people claim to be Christians.

being in a relationship is the same wound that is the tatas hand, can be totally ditched without moving is when the person is wrapped you without commitment you're not getting any dating, just making you lose your time, and we have to be winding two people at the same time, like not going forward and not backwards.

When we accept Jesus Christ as the only savior of our souls we stick with it rationing serious with him a commitment.

The bible is very clear on when the lord jesus said in passing matthew 6: 24 No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. Ye can not serve God and mammon.

What does it mean that the devil the father of lies wants live in a tangled relationship, without translating commitment to God, and who has no commitment to the things of the Lord GOD is far from the world he loves more than you.

We seek to live in a serious relationship with God and with those we love, no bullshit, status: on a serious commitment, after all tangled relationship is what the devil wants.

survivors

 

Many unleashed go to war, but few return home, there are few who turn to tell the story, are the survivors of the war.
I remember in high school when we studied about the wars of the past, I was traveling in the area of ​​history, I plunged into the subject that it looked like I was - there, a movie going on in my mind, but it all interesting were the stories told by the survivors Many returned home missing a limb others returned no aranhão, others returned traumatized.
In my town there lived a veteran of the War, he had fought with the Allies in Italy., You sentimental about their reports, a woman had to smother her baby to save the five people hidden inside the room, if the Germans had listened the crying child, had all died.
Once I was watching a movie the second world war for school work, I confess to you that I could not resist and cried, I saw scenes of Jews being killed, many were children, I became dumb in tears, I'm very sensitive when I see something, but for me it was the height of absurdity, as a man can hate the Jews so much, gypsies, blacks, beggars, for me Hitler was a crazy psychopath who wanted a single race on the planet, so he wanted to enter into war with the world, but God did not allow the high heavens if it happens.

What I mean by all this, nowadays one last waging war every day against the evil, we must face storms, hurricanes, killing bear, lion knocks giant walls, does the Bible tells us in Ephesians 6: 12 that : For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

We have to live in constant prayer, fasting vigilantes wearing heavy equipment, we do not know which side the enemy will attack, we have to survive this war, Hitler these days is that the devil will do everything to stop us, he hates us.

People ask me the vesses, Elaine what you are? I just say, I'm a survivor, every day the devil attacks me wanting me weak but my God strengthens me.

Let us fight bravely as we win this war, when Christ comes for His church, we have many casualties, losses but with Christ in the win.

When a boy becomes a man?

Good people want to share with all of you dear readers a text that I read and found it very edifying life of man from God

THE MARKS OF MANHOOD

When a boy becomes a man? The answer to that question is far beyond the biological aspect and age. As defined in the Bible, manhood is a functional reality, demonstrated in the fulfillment by man of responsibility and leadership. With that in mind, I would suggest thirteen marks of biblical manhood. Reach these vital qualities identifies the emergence of a man who will demonstrate true biblical masculinity.

1. SPIRITUAL MATURITY SUFFICIENT TO LEAD A WIFE AND CHILDREN.

The Bible is clear about the man's responsibility to exercise spiritual maturity and leadership. In fact, this spiritual maturity takes time to be developed and is a gift of the Holy Spirit working in the believer's soul. The disciplines of the Christian life, including prayer and serious Bible study, are among the means God uses to mold a boy into a man and bring spiritual maturity to the life of someone who has the responsibility of guiding a wife and family. This spiritual leadership is central to the Christian view of marriage and family.

The spiritual leadership of a man is not a matter of dictatorial power, but a spiritual influence and leadership, steady and reliable. A man must be ready to lead his wife and children in a way that honors God shows mercy, inculcate Christian character and take his family to desire Christ and to seek the glory of God. Spiritual maturity is a mark of true Christian manhood, a man is spiritually immature, at least this crucial sense, just a guy on the spiritual.

2. PERSONAL MATURITY SUFFICIENT TO BE A RESPONSIBLE HUSBAND AND FATHER.

True masculinity is not a matter of exhibiting supposedly masculine characteristics devoid of the context of accountability. In the Bible, a man is called to fulfill his role as husband and father. Unless he has the gift of celibacy for gospel service, the Christian boy should aspire to marriage and parenthood. This is certainly a statement contrary to our culture, but the role of husband and father is essential to masculinity. Marriage is unmatched in its effect on the man, as it channels their energies and directs their responsibilities to the devoted covenant of marriage and education loving family. Boys Christians should aspire to be that kind of man with which a Christian girl marry happily, whom the children obey, would trust and would respect.

3. ECONOMIC MATURITY SUFFICIENT TO KEEP IN EMPLOYMENT AND DEALING WITH MONEY.

Advertisers and business owners know that the target should direct their messages - directly to boys and adolescents. This particular segment of the population is attracted to material goods, popular entertainment, sporting events and other consumer options. The portrait of young manhood made popular in the media and presented as normal through entertainment is characterized by economic recklessness, selfishness and pleasure.

A real man knows how to hold a job, dealing responsibly with the money and meet the needs of his wife and family. Not develop economic maturity means that young men often jump from job to job and takes years to "find themselves" in terms of career and vocation. Again, prolonged adolescence characterizes large segment of the population of men in our days. A real man knows how to win, manage and respect money. A boy believer understands the danger that exists in the love of money and fulfill your responsibilities as a Christian servant.

4. PHYSICAL MATURITY SUFFICIENT TO WORK AND PROTECT THE FAMILY.

Unless you are disabled or ill, a boy needs to develop a physical maturity that, by stature and vigor, identify a recognizable masculinity. It is clear that men reach different sizes and demonstrate different levels of physical strength, but the maturity is common to all men, by which a man demonstrates his masculinity in action, confidence and strength. A man has to be ready to use his physical strength to protect his wife and children and fulfill the tasks that God has appointed him. A boy has to be taught to channel their development and physique to a personal commitment to responsibility, recognizing that the existing adult has to be combined with adult responsibility and true maturity.

5. SEXUAL MATURITY SUFFICIENT TO MARRY AND COMPLY WITH THE PURPOSES OF GOD.

Even when society celebrates sex in all forms and all ages, the true Christian man practices sexual integrity, avoiding pornography, fornication, and all forms of sexual promiscuity and corruption. He understands the danger of lust, but rejoices with the sexual capacity and reproductive power that God gave him, committing to a girl, winning their love, trust and admiration - and eventually her hand in marriage. It is critical that men respect and protect this ineffable gift until, in the context of a marriage saint, able to fulfill this gift, love his wife and children crave, which are gifts from God. Male sexuality divorced from context and the integrity of marriage is an explosive and dangerous reality. The boy must understand, while experiencing puberty and awakening sexuality, he is responsible to God for the administration of this important gift.

6. MORAL MATURITY SUFFICIENT TO LEAD AS AN EXAMPLE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

The common pattern of behavior of boys is generally characterized by negligence, irresponsibility and worse. As a boy grows to manhood, he has to develop moral maturity, while aspires to righteousness, learning to think like a Christian, act like a Christian and show others how to do this.

The Christian man must be an example to others, teaching by both precept and example. Of course this requires the exercise of responsible moral reasoning. True moral education begins with a clear understanding of moral standards and should move to a level of higher moral reasoning, in which a boy learns how biblical principles are transformed into godly living and how the moral challenges of their day should be confronted with the truths revealed in the infallible and inerrant Word of God.

7. MATURITY SUFFICIENT TO ETHICAL DECISION MAKING RESPONSIBLE.

Being a man involves taking decisions. One of the most fundamental tasks of leadership is to decide. The state of indecision many contemporary men is evidence of a stunted manhood. It is clear that a man rushes to make a decision without thinking, consider and be careful, but he is exposed to a risk to make a decision - and make it permanent. This requires a moral responsibility that extends to ethical decision making and mature to glorify God, to be faithful to the Word of God and are open to moral scrutiny.

A real man knows how to make a decision and live with the consequences - although this means that later he will have learned to recognize that by making a wrong decision and make the appropriate correction.

8. MATURITY OF PERCEPTION OF THE WORLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

An inversion of values ​​marks our postmodern age, and the predicament of modern manhood becomes more terrifying by the fact that many men do not have the ability to develop a consistent perception of the world. For the Christian, this is doubly tragic, for our Christian discipleship must be demonstrated in the development of a Christian mind.

The Christian must understand how to interpret and evaluate issues across the spectrum of fields of politics, economics, morality, entertainment, education and a seemingly endless list of other fields. The absence of a consistent biblical reasoning and perception of the world is a fundamental characteristic of spiritual immaturity. A boy must learn to translate Christian truth in a genuinely Christian way of thinking. Need to learn how to defend biblical truth before his peers and public, and must acquire the ability to extend their thinking biblical, grounded in biblical principles to all areas of life.

9. MATURITY SUFFICIENT TO RELATIONAL UNDERSTANDING AND RESPECT OTHERS.

Psychologists now talk of "emotional intelligence" as an important factor in personal development. Although the world has given much attention to IQ, emotional intelligence is as important as that. Individuals who do not have the ability to relate to others are destined to fail before the most significant challenges of life and not meet some of its most important responsibilities and roles.

By nature, many boys are driven by its interior. While the girls learn to interpret emotional signals and connect, many boys do not have that ability, and apparently do not understand the lack of this ability. Although man has to demonstrate emotional strength, constancy and steadfastness, he must learn to relate to his wife, children, colleagues, and many others, in a manner that demonstrates respect, understanding and empathy proper. He did not learn that playing video games and into the personal world, which many teenage boys do.

10. SOCIAL MATURITY SUFFICIENT TO MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIETY.

The home is the first essential and inescapable emphasis on the responsibility of a man, but he is called to leave home to go to the world, world wide, as a witness and as someone who will give a contribution to the common good. God created human beings as social creatures, and even though our ultimate citizenship is in heaven, we must fulfill our citizenship on earth.

A boy must learn to fulfill a political responsibility as a citizen and a moral responsibility as a member of a community. The Christian man has a civilizational responsibility, and boys must learn to see themselves as shapers of society, since the church is identified by the Lord as light and salt. Similarly, a man believer must learn to relate with unbelievers, as a witness and as citizens of an earthly land.

11. VERBAL MATURITY SUFFICIENT TO COMMUNICATE AND TALK AS MAN.

A man must be able to speak, be understood and communicate in a way that honors God and convey God's truth to others. Beyond the context of the conversation, the boy must learn to speak in front of large groups, overcoming the natural timidity and fear that comes from seeing a large number of people and opening the mouth and projecting words.

Although not all men will become public speakers, every man should have the ability to get up, formulate and argue your words when the truth is under attack and when faith and conviction must be translated into arguments.

12. CHARACTER OF MATURITY SUFFICIENT TO SHOW COURAGE AMIDST THE FIRE.

The literature of manhood is replete with stories of courage, bravery and audacity. At least, that's how it used to be. Now when masculinity so trivialized as marginalized by cultural elites, ideological subversion and existing and confusion from the media, we must recapture a commitment to courage, a commitment which is transported to the real life challenges faced by the Christian man.

Sometimes the quality of courage is demonstrated when a man risks his own life to protect others, especially his wife and children, but also anyone who needs rescue. Too often, courage is demonstrated in taking a position in the midst of hostile fire, refusing to succumb to the temptation of silence and standing as an example and role model for others, so be encouraged to stand firm on his own position .

In these days, biblical manhood requires great courage. The prevailing ideologies and worldviews of this age are inherently hostile to Christian truth and corrosive to Christian faithfulness. A boy needs a lot of courage to commit to sexual purity, and a man to devote himself exclusively to his wife. It required great courage to say no to what this culture insists are the rightful pleasures and delights of the flesh. It takes a lot of courage to maintain personal integrity in a world that devalues ​​the truth, disparages God's Word and promises self-fulfillment and happiness only by the assertion of absolute personal autonomy.

True confidence of a man is rooted in the sources of courage, and this is evidence of character. Ultimately, the character of a man is revealed in the crucible of everyday challenges. For most men, life also brings moments when extraordinary courage will be required if it is to remain faithful and true.

13. BIBLICAL MANHOOD ENOUGH TO CARRY SOME LEVEL OF LEADERSHIP IN THE CHURCH.

A closer consideration of some churches reveal a central problem is the lack of biblical maturity among the men of the congregation and the lack of biblical knowledge, which makes men ill equipped and completely unprepared to exercise spiritual leadership.

The boys have to become familiar with the biblical text and feel at ease in the study of God's Word. Need to be ready to take their place as leaders in the local church. God established specific officers for his church - men who are gifted and publicly called - therefore every believing man should fulfill some leadership responsibility in the life of the local church.

For some men, this may mean a leadership role less public than the other. In any case, a man must be able to teach someone and lead a ministry, turning your personal discipleship in conducting a holy vocation. There is a leadership role for every man, in every church, whether a lead public or private, small or large, official or unofficial. A man should know how to pray in front of others, presenting the gospel and occupy an empty seat when the need for leadership is evident.

the value of a prayer

TO REFLECT AND THINK

- A woman dressed simply and with a sorrowful face, walked into a store. If

approached the owner and asked ashamed

could lead some products and pay later. With a soft voice, she explained that her

husband was very ill and not

could work, they had seven children and they needed food.

The shop owner, inflexible, asked the woman to leave. However, the woman

thinking of his family continued begging: "Why

Please sir, I will pay as soon as possible. "the shop owner refused saying he could not

give credit to a person who does not

knew.


Near the entrance of the store was a customer who overheard the conversation. The client approached

and told the owner that he would be responsible

purchases by the woman, but he ignored it.

The store owner turned to wife and asked: "Do you have a grocery list?" She

replied "Yes sir."

"Okay, put your list on the scales and weigh as your list, I'll give in

food, "he said.

She hesitated for a moment, his head bowed, took her wallet a piece of

paper and wrote on it. Then, with

fear, the woman put the paper in the balance. By doing this balance lowered at once,

like I put on a stone

her. The store owner and the customer looked with wonder and admiration. The shop owner

started

to put food on the other side of the scale,

but she did not budge, so he continued to put more and more food, but as the

scale never equaled, he broke down and

took the piece of paper to see if there was some trick.

The shop owner looked at the paper and read with amazement ... was not a shopping list, was a

prayer that read: "Dear God, the Lord

knows my needs, I leave this in your hands. "

The shop owner gave the woman all the foods that were on the scales and stood

silence

while the woman left the store.


Only God knows the value of a prayer when you do make but with faith and the lord of the high

when there's more

"" He knew that Christ was the only solution to your problem, but still sank deeper into drink, the world of alcohol had destroyed his family, his job and his life was already hanging by a thread causes of debt despite knowing the truth no longer had the strength to see the light at the end of the tunnel "."

It is amazing that account, but they are stories that are repeated every day out there, he knew there was not enough to continue in the world of alcohol, but it continued.

Many people say: I'll drink some for me to forget this problem, their problems will not disappear easily in drinks easy, will only get worse, worse and worse this is the trend.

When there is more time to give to, to reflect the situation in which it is, our adversary the devil does everything to everyone to lose and sink even more.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I came that they may have life, and

have it more abundantly.

John 10:10.

It was you who said that jesus, christ will only exit is, he is one who guides you in

direction and decision will take.

When man says there's more to live in this situation in which it is

GOD there that kicks in showing that it only found the output to all

our problems and rest for our souls.

If there's more, do not drop the Christ, the world is not going to because that is what the enemy wants,

not to merge the world of alcohol, drugs, will only worsen.

When it does not work anymore, just look to the heavens and scream "GOD!'m Poor'm weak and sinful human being without you, but have mercy on me, show me the output of the direction, because I trust in you alone and I know you'll take care of me. "

You can be sure that God had heard that the LORD is God just waiting for you ta

talk to him, he begins to act in your life, until he knows where you stand

reach and gives nothing that we can not support.

powerless

I confess to you that I've been through times when I had no seals to pray or read the Bible, not because I was so weak spiritually powerless to estravo continued, I was going through a struggle so great that there were times that I just cried, did not know which direction to take.

Even me with all my weakness to talk to GOD I strengthened it, I got up at dawn to pray bent my knees and spoke God help me because I'm poor but I know that thou art strong helps me get through it all, give me wisdom , prayed less than two minutes and went back to sleep, read a verse the feathers and reflected on it, it was not what i wanted to read but what i needed to read, with the passage of time I became stronger and get through the fight I was facing at the time.

The moments in our looks that we will not get it, we'll go back and turning back, is in weakness that God makes us strong, there's nothing that God can not support everything is measured up.

Pray, fast, ask the lord for mercy, read the bible that Christ will tell you, is when we think that we are weak is that there are strong

  Sometimes GOD we try to prove our faith, you are not only proven but it is approved by the LORD my God.
