ГОЛЕМИТЕ И МАЛКИТЕ НЕЩА

ГОЛЕМИТЕ И МАЛКИТЕ НЕЩА

Забелязали ли сте, че дори между хора с една и съща вяра често има много разногласия, по отношение на Бога, вечните истини и вярванията, които изповядват?

Докато си мислех защо се случва така, осъзнах, че има два основни вида убеждения, които си изграждаме: убеждения за големите неща и убеждения за малките неща.

И проблемите в нашите взаимоотношения – разделенията в църквите, общностите и семействата – често се появяват, когато придаваме твърде голяма важност на убежденията ни за малките неща.

Убежденията относно големите неща са основополагащи истини за това как функционира реалността. Убежденията за малките неща са насочващи идеи, които ни помагат да разберем как точно функционира реалността.

Убежденията за големите неща имат пряко въздействие върху начина, по който функционира животът. Убежденията за малките неща нямат такова влияние.

Убежденията за големите неща винаги са свързани с функциите на живота. Убежденията за малките неща са инструменти, които ни помагат да разберем и да се научим как да прилагаме убежденията си за големите неща.

Убежденията за големите неща имат пряко въздействие върху здравето и щастието. Убежденията за малките неща само илюстрират тези ефекти.

Убежденията за големите неща имат последствия. Убежденията за малките неща – не.

По-долу са дадени някои примери, които съпоставят големи и малки неща, за които хората имат убеждения, които се различават. Помислете как фокусирането върху малките неща често е в основата на разделението в нашите семейства, църкви и общности.

 

Голямо нещо: Живот в хармония с Божиите закони на дизайна четете блога

Малко нещо: Подчинение на списък с религиозни правила

Голямо нещо: Смисълът (истините), съдържащи се в Писанието
Истините в Писанието са тези, които изцеляват ума ни и ни правят свободни (Йоан 8:32). Думите са средство, чрез което се предава смисълът, а думите имат стойност само дотолкова, доколкото ефективно предават Божията истина. Затова заменяме еврейските и гръцките думи с думи на език, който хората могат да разберат, за да бъде разбран смисълът (истините) на Писанията.

Малко нещо: Думите, които съставляват Писанията четете блога
Да спорим дали тази или онази дума в даден текст е правилна или дали тази или онази версия е “най-точна” – вместо да се интересуваме дали истините, смисълът, се предават ясно.

Голямо нещо: Разделяне на хората въз основа на характера им  четете блога
Честен и нечестен, лоялен и нелоялен, милостив и жесток, любящ и егоистичен и т.н.

Малко нещо: Разделяне на хората по раса, племе, език, националност, пол, икономическо положение и т.н.

Голямо нещо: Кръщаване със Светия Дух четете блога
Преживяване на потапяне на сърцето и ума в пречистващата сила и присъствие на Бога.

Малко нещо: Методът на ритуалното кръщение


 Голямо нещо: Да приемем в ума си истината (плътта) на Исус и в сърцето си любовта/живота (кръвта) на Исус (Йоан 6:53-58) четете блога

Малко нещо: Методът на церемониалното причастие и приемането на безквасен хляб и   гроздов сок

 

Голямо нещо: Да живеем скромно, така че да представяме Исус с външността си, облеклото и действията си четете блога

Малко нещо: Съставяне на списък с правила за обличане – носене на религиозни шапки, яки или шалове, забрана за бижута, вид дрехи, игри

 

За съжаление твърде много хора се фокусират върху малките неща, като пренебрегват големите. Те спорят за церемонии, ритуали, метафори, символи и различните методи на обучение, които имат за цел да ни доведат до реалността на Божието царство, но изглежда никога не приемат и не практикуват  Божиите закони на дизайна в начина, по който живеят и се отнасят към другите.

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Thando N., South Africa

 

Testimony 4

I’m a youth leader in South Africa. We as a youth group are currently using a lot of the material on the Come and Reason site. Since we’ve started using the material, our youth group has grown.

R. V. N., South Africa

 

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

Testimony 34

I was introduced to Come and Reason Ministries by accident, via a passing comment made in a bible study class we were visiting. I checked this website out and my life was changed. The understanding of the truth of God’s character, and how we apply it, is so right. The tricky part is consistently applying which “lens” to look through. As I began to understand, I started sharing the basics of this understanding with a discussion group I was leading and, suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense that never used to. At the same time, I enjoyed an amazing opportunity. I was able to conduct a full bible study at WORK! What an amazing experience! It is such a joy to share the truth about God and to share how it all fits in the war between God and Satan. So many people benefit when we have a correct understanding about how God works and who He really is! Thank you for this transformational understanding. Keep up the good work! God Bless you!

Tony P., CA, USA

 

Testimony 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

Michael V., Yonkers, NY, USA

 

Testimony 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!

A.M., Pittsburg, PA, USA

Testimony 26

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Testimony 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

Viliami L., Australia

 

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Liz H., Port Angeles, WA, USA

 

 

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.

Testimony 54

I had a lot of pressure, as a pastor’s kid, to conform and be “good.” I was good at being “good.” I thought my life was going along well until it all started falling apart and I could not figure out why! In my search for “why is this happening to me, God?” I came across your book, “Could it be this Simple,” and God started revealing to me the many distortions I held about His character, His principles, and how He has designed His universe to operate. I remember thinking, “Wow, I have had this all backwards.” I was happy and angry all at the same time. Happy to have the light of truth break through the darkness, revealing a wonderful, beautiful way of understanding God and His plan for His children, and angry, because I felt deceived and cheated by the church, my family, and myself!

My heart thrills when I listen to your bible study lessons. Literally I have gone from death to life. It is a journey I look forward to every day, as God reveals areas this distortion affects. Praise GOD! I will ever be grateful to God for this ministry and your cooperation with the Spirit!

Karen S., Portal, AZ, USA
