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 11

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

K.B., LA, USA

 

Testimony 8

Thank you for the ministry you are sharing with us, it is a real blessing to us and especially to my husband and myself! You are encouraging us to think for ourselves and not just to except everything, without thinking it through, with God’s word!

M.K., USA

 

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

C. F., NC, 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 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

S. G., TX, USA

 

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Tammy Cinzio, Australia

 

Testimony 74

Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I’ve been through a lot of ministries that just didn’t show the love of God that I felt he was. You have helped me to begin the process of true healing. I thought I was “too far gone,” now I know there’s hope in Jesus, because he loves us beyond what we can comprehend. Thank you again for all you do. I truly appreciate it and pray more people find you (physical at your studio and through this website).

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 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

T. C., IN, USA

 

Testimony 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Andrew H., Great Britain

 

Testimony 53

I was so blessed by a friend who gave me your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” while I was sitting in church asking God to please help me learn more about Him and help me not to be so confused and scared. That was about 2 years ago. Your books have helped me to love God even more. I’m not confused or scared anymore! I have listened to all of your bible study classes and feel like I know the wonderful people that attend every week. Thank you for all that you’re doing in spreading the true message about God and His law of love. God bless you and your whole class.

Elssy P., Modesto, CA, USA

 

Testimony 75

Thank you so much for everything you do! Because of all these truths, I’m excited to be with Jesus! I always pray everyday, “COME TODAY, JESUS.” Before finding C&R, I was always praying for delays, “NOT TODAY OH GOD. I AM NOT READY.” I just need to share more, talk more bout this truth, so everybody will be excited for Jesus.

J C Shin

Testimony 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

L. G., Oakland, MI, USA
